San Carlo in Manchester

Lovely food and excellent service from kaloyan

amazing pasta & friendly service :)

Kaloyan was very attentive and helpful. Great service.

Got the full English and it was amazing, Kaloyan was especially welcoming.

Our server Mustafa was very helpful and friendly. The service was excellent and the food as usual was really good. We always head here when flying from T2

excellent service effected breakfast was perfectly cooked and Kaloyan was professional and very pleasant wonderful service

Excellent all round! Thanks so much for your awesome service 😀

Great service from Kaloyan our waiter this morning, food lovely.. would recommend here to eat

Brilliant as always. Fast friendly service from Kaidi who is always great. Highly recommend coming here if you are travelling from Manchester T2

Ordered a pizza ! came with very little any cheese on it ! so I spoke with the waiter ,the waiter sent it back ( not my idea by the way !)! After that kitchen staff where looking at me ?? New pizza came along and tasted funny ! Bill came and the waiter (female with heir all over her face) charger me for the original pizza and the new one as well also an extra charge for more cheese ! The food arrived by some old man who then sat at the bar and was eating a meal as well ! weird ! love San Carlos in Liverpool Manchester no problem but here !

Shout out to Poris for his service

food was cold, £17 breakfast and cane with 2 sausages, 2 bits of bacon and some fridge cold bread. Brilliant 👍

Food very expensive meals very small

Really comfortable and lovely atmosphere. Maybe lower the Music sound just a little. Otherwise a really Good experience. Of course Good Good.

Breakfast cold and service slow today. Our server was great, chatty and polite but for the price, the meal wasn’t worth it

Lovely breakfast. Polite and efficient staff.

Nice food and drinks at normal airport pricing. Only thing that lets it down a little is the inconsistency as to how quickly your order is taken. Sometimes as soon as you've put menus down, they're there and sometimes there's quite a wait before you can order. Staff are all great, but seem to be assigned zones. Can sometimes make for a nervously short gap to your flight.

Rude and dismissive service — won’t return We visited as a family of three, and my 4-year-old daughter was really excited to sit by the window so she could watch the planes. There were four window tables available, so I politely asked a staff member named Priscilla if we could sit at one. She immediately said no and told us we had to sit by the entrance. I said we’d prefer not to sit right next to the door. Her response? “Unlucky,” followed by a shrug. No explanation, no attempt to accommodate us. When I asked to speak to a manager, she flat-out refused. We left and went next door where we were treated with basic respect and kindness. Really disappointing experience — especially when it would’ve taken so little to make a child happy. We won’t be back.

Eggs florentine brilliant. Server very friendly (Mustafa 8825)

Best food I've ever eaten at MAN ✅

Salade had no taste, rotten parts and no dressing, just oil. Potatoes were cold and the salmon soooo dry. No attention paid when preparing the food. So pitty, they can do better in the kitchen. 😣

Callum was excellent! Professional, friendly and incredibly efficient!

Although on the pricier side – as you’d expect at an airport – San Carlo Restaurant at Manchester Airport is absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff are fantastic, and I received a warm, friendly welcome as soon as I arrived. I ordered the avocado with eggs and bacon, and asked for the bacon to be crisped up – they delivered perfectly! The food was beautifully cooked, and the service was attentive and genuinely excellent. A really pleasant dining experience before a flight. Highly recommended if you're looking for quality food and great service at the airport.

Very prompt service. Very pleasant waitress. Great food, but the wine seemed to evaporate really quickly?! Won't hesitate to come here again...

Excellent. Best meal in all the years coming to Manchester airport. Eggs Royale 👍

Callum served us and he was lovely. Very polite. Really nice experience before our flight.

A very good start to our holiday. Generous portions and excellent polite service. Smoked salmon and scrambled egg very good!

Love san carlo at the airport. A sanctuary in the madness of travel.

Went for breakfast before our flight , the food was excellent value for money. The service was incredible especially from our waiter typhoon ( sorry if spelt wrong ) he was so lovely. Definitely recommend here and will be back soon .

Gorgeous pre holiday breakfast 🍳 , beautiful restaurant!

Great service from Firat, thank you.

Toda la comida del aeropuerto es cara, pero aquí la calidad era genial y bastante buena relación calidad-precio. También hice un gran café americano. . . . .

Bit slow service but they were busy so understandable. Host and server were great at managing my allergy/dietary requirements and food was delish!!

Super 👍 Lovely service with a smile from Jade

Full English breakfast was excellent

San Carlo at Manchester Airport......the best avocado toast with poached eggs, I have ever had!!! The food is top quality. Such a change for an Airport! I will be back!

Quick service and very good food, lots of GF options. Super impressed.

Served by Kaloyan quick and friendly 👍🏻

What a shame , I love San Carlo restaurants , and eat there regularly. The customer service at this specific restaurant was so poor, what was supposed to be a relaxing meal prior to a long international flight was totally the opposite. Apparently I arrived an hour before closing (this was on repeat) and because of this availability of seating was an issue . The lasagna didn’t let me down but oh no! the Tiramisu was still frozen. The staff were nice but badly let down by their manager who told them to start sweeping up around the customers! Not good and all. *badly led restaurant!

Our waiter was excellent - attentive and had a personality! Love it when people love their jobs and provide such a great experience. Excellent customer service!

Por lo tanto, soy un viajero frecuente, y la mayoría de las veces cuando estoy en T 2, visito SCs para unas cuantas bebidas y comida antes del vuelo si estoy con mi esposa, . En esta ocasión me atendieron 2 personas diferentes y me cobraron dos precios diferentes por exactamente la misma cerveza 🤔 La señora me cobró 4 libras. 00 x 3 (también le di una £ 1. 00 propina) para la mitad de Peroni y el tipo me cobró £ 3. 25 , que al revisar el menú de bebidas después, sugeriría que era el precio correcto. Por lo tanto, parece haber tomado de mí un extra de £ 3. 25 (inc my £ 1 propina) Mi mensaje... Si decides sentarte en el bar, definitivamente lo haré.

No el San Carlo que he experimentado antes. Fui a la 1. 30 y el restaurante estaba casi vacío. Dos empleados sentados en una mesa en un descanso, el gerente charlando con ellos. Una nueva persona vino por turnos y en lugar de venir a tomar mi orden, se acercó a la mesa del personal, todos hablando entre sí y bromeando, durante demasiado tiempo cuando hay alguien sentado sin una bebida, mirándolos. Pedí un trago y luego se sentó en la barra, otra vez durante demasiado tiempo. Estaba a punto de ir a buscarlo yo mismo. Pedí las albóndigas. Asqueroso. Tuve que escupir grisle y luego encontré que estaban fríos en el medio (a pesar de estar en una olla de metal). Tuve que saludar a la camarera que por alguna razón me trajo mi cuenta. Cambié por los arancini, que eran buenos, pero yo estaba pospuesto para entonces. Cuando estaba listo para irme me llevaron la cuenta de nuevo -pensé para mí, apuesto a que las albóndigas siguen en ello- sí. Todo en una experiencia realmente frustrante y decepcionante, algo de personal snooty, y no una gran cantidad de sonrisas (con la excepción de una camarera). No volveré y creo que es un error que hayan abierto un restaurante del aeropuerto.

Great food and good service. I don't expect much from airport food outlets but I'd be more than happy with this meal in a High Street restaurant.

We went for breakfast here to start off our holiday and our server kaloyan was fantastic and very attentive and looked after us. I would highly recommend visiting here for breakfast the food was fantastic

Great place to start before you travel food and drinks bit expensive but ha ho when you’re travelling prices not matter

Restaurant experience calm & relaxing. The first stop before continuing our journey

Szilvia was lovely, great food and quick service thanks!

Saulene was very patient, attentive and efficient. Thank you

Food is served quickly, as directed. Unfortunately, we were ignored at the entrance and therefore had to wait a long time to be allocated a table, even though it was not busy and many tables were available. Arrogant service!

Really good customer service from our waiter Kaloyen 🙂

Mustafa was great! He was super attentive and even was checking the gates board for us to check we weren’t late. Food and drink lovely and an overall good vibe! We went here instead of the lounge(which was £80) and paid £65 for 2 breakfasts, 2pints and 2 cocktails. Defo Worth it instead of escape!

Lovely relaxing start to our holiday. Many thanks.

Nice bite, lovely sight and eye candy for a server. What more could you want. Thanks Boris

Excellent food ,service and atmosphere Brilliant 👍

Great service and really nice food

Very professional team doing a great job as always. Dalman was a credit to the operation.

Excellent gf and vegetarian options. Lovely food. Quick service. Would definitely recommend it and come back.

Brilliant little restaurant. Food was amazing. The wife's mushroom on sourdough were out of this world. Service was with a smile and was prompt and very efficient Would highly recommend

I had the scrambled eggs but was very dry bread, I was hoping to have a nice breakfast. (but for what I paid, of course, I had to eat it because it was quite expensive) But for what I have paid was not worth it. I recommend you guys talk to the waiter before you order it. Make sure they bring something decent to eat. Manchester Airport San Carlo

Great coffee and food. Nice to visit a well run cafe with well trained friendly staff.

Food was nice, but quite a small portion of Frittata. Good service, OK atmosphere - it is in an airport.

Best airport restaurant I have used. Very impressed Thanks

my big breakfast was looke warm the plate was hot but the scrambled egg was cold

Terrible service. Felt ignored. Waiting 10 minutes to be seated and then 20 minutes to have food order taken. There were more tables available than being used so it wasn’t like they were busy

Food very good but service poor. Disorganised front of house and had to ask 3 times for something.

Really nice breakfast, great service! Our waiter was very friendly and funny! Just what you need at 5am! Great start to the holiday!

Lovely restaurant and food, friendly and attentive staff.

Fabulous, great food, Callum our server was awesome so friendly and efficient

Good quality food, price reflex’s the quality at the airport and the staff were very helpful and approachable thank you - keep up the good work

Food was great. Waiter Callum was really helpful and friendly especially for 4.30 in the morning

I got breakfast at the airport and the pancakes were a little bit off a disappointment to say the least. Dry and crunchy on the outside and barely any fruit. For a small banana at best cut up and one strawberry . Asked to use the toilet and was asked if I’m coming back as if I was going to run out on the bill. Not up to the standard I’m used to when I go to san Carlos regularly

Poached eggs overdone, ricotta cheese smothered over toast making it to wet. Avocado taste absent.

It was very slow and we had to ask for the waiter several times throughout the meal, we found the staff rude, and the food was really expensive for what we got.

Came last year was fabulous. Appears to have lost its quality edge. Flat coke, dirty cup, lukewarm stewed tea, toast arrived without scrambled eggs which appeared to have been sitting on the pass. Not the best. To be fair porridge was good and berries fresh. We won’t we rushing back.

Food was great but service was severely lacking. Only time we spoke to staff was when ordering. Staff were blatantly ignoring and avoiding tables that were finished. Took our cash and said have a good day as if they expected the nearly £10 tip from the change.

Kaidi was very professional, attentive, efficient and a pleasure to be served by. The food was absolutely tasty, fresh and well cook!

Great service from Callum who was cheerful and attentive. Eggs Florentine was made perfectly. Tables and chairs could be cleaned a little better but generally all very good.

Breakfast was great, Szyvia (Sylvia)was brilliant who served us …. She is a real credit to the team .. very well done

Nice affordable breakfast before flight. Staff was attentive and friendly.

It’s never open, been twice at 4.30 and they let you stand there for ages before they tell you it’s shut!

Difficult to rate an airport restaurant at 5am, but a friendly Estonian waitress and a decent cooked breakfast helps earn a well deserved 5 star. Cappuccino coffee a life saver...

Our server was excellent. Warm and friendly, professional and smart. Thank you

Great service. Clean and pleasant environment and quality food. I’d definitely eat here again when in T2 Manchester Airport. I definitely recommend.

Lovely food, friendly and cheerful staff

Absolutely above and beyond service, we came here for breakfast ahead of a early morning flight from Manchester, couldn’t fault the staff and experience one bit , did everything they could to make us happy,

The blandest food possible with the given ingredients but nice place to sit with efficient and friendly service.

Absolutely amazing! Great food and service! Very kind workers! 5 star meal

Staff very friendly and helpful

Staff are great at accommodating us to feel looked after

Fight was cancelled received a voucher for food which stated san carlo included. Rude waiter came to the line and refused everyone saying we have to pay. Shame as we had breakfast the day before and we use the one in the city centre a lot and even the one in London every time we go. We will not be using them again and I will have to cancel our works do at the one in the city centre.

Excellent. Perfect tonic during a 7 hour flight delay. Special thanks to lovely Ukrainian waitress Yuri or Julie. A star. Thank you

Really good food, nice healthy options too. Our waiter Mustafa was so happy, cheery and super efficient! Such a better experience than past airport breakfasts. Well done 👍😘

Food came cold and not very tasty. £7.50 for a bacon sandwich, crusty cold toast. Nice waiters, not great food. Sat waiting almost 20 minutes before food, when they boast 8 minutes from ordering. Bill was £31 but I’ll be going to pret for a sandwich still. :(

Tayfun was an absolute superstar.

As sense of calm in the chaos of snow delayed flights!!! Great service and food/drinks and decent value

Service lovely all good lovely apart from scrambled eggs that are usually lovely very over cooked.

Nice flat white. Really nice attentive service. Eggs benediction OK but I think the prosciutto should be cooked or warm at least. Could add asparagus or spinach to the benedict too. Nice experience though

Lovely pre holiday experience with friendly staff and great service. Nice chilled ambience.

Really impressed with San Carlo at Manchester airport. Best airport breakfast ever. And much better than the airport lounges.

Never got served for about 15 minutes, then drinks took another 10 minutes absolutely terrible service some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Didn’t even have time to have food as it took so long to be served and get our drinks that we had to not order food. In disbelief at how bad this service actually was this was unbelievable!!! Prices also absolutely scandalous! Blonde member of staff called Lucy was also miserable and the opposite to helpful
