The Phoenix Deli in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The best vegetarian breakfast I've had for ages, the roasted cherry tomatoes were a lovely touch & very tasty. Best coffee I've tasted in a long time too. Very friendly & welcoming service. Highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed by their breakfast, it was totally lush ☺️

Took advantage of the soup and sandwich offer for £6. The homemade cauliflower and cheese soup was outstanding, really tasty. The toasted fishfinger sandwich was also really nice on excellent quality bread. We had to sit outside due to it being so busy (no surprise why) and was still given excellent service by Mark the waiter who was very attentive. Will definitely be returning to sample other things on the menu. Highly recommend.

We popped in here as we were just passing by, and I'm glad we did. Excellent quality food, lots of veggie options and gluten free bread as well. Friendly service and also good value, highly recommended

We visited for breakfast every morning before the Ashes cricket at Old Trafford so the name of the cafe was very appropriate. Fabulous breakfasts served on piping hot plates in a beautiful cosy surroundings.

I have visited here regularly and would previously have given it 5 stars. But this time the regular manager was not there and another man seemed to be in charge. My wife asked for a salad, but was told salads were only served in summer. Ok, so she ordered something else. But I then noticed a gentleman on another table was offered a salad and invited to choose from a choice of trays at the counter. So when I went to pay, I enquired why my wife had been refused a salad when clearly salad was available, indeed I could see the various trays right in front of me. I was then told salad was only served with soup or a sandwich, but not on its own. But my wife didn’t want it with soup or sandwich, just a salad. No, this was not allowed. There was then some illogical explanation that if they served salad without soup or sandwich they might run out of salad. Well, maybe you could buy more ingredients. And in any case there was still plenty left in the trays, so why refuse a present customer’s request on the possibility you might run out and then have to dissapoint a later arriving customer. Such poor customer care. He is in the wrong job and needs to learn about customer service. But, I repeat, the regular manager/owner was not there that day and he has always been friendly and courteous.

The food is outstanding. Friendly staff. This place has the best breakfast and sandwiches. I’ve been a customer since opening but realised I’d never reviewed the place when I was saying to a friend what a gem this place is.

Amazing delicious breakfast- not expensive, the staff are lovely and friendly, as usual. This place has never failed to delight!

Great Breakfast at a very reasonabke price. A Very Friendly lady served us in this cosy little place with really quirky , interesting decor. Really nice place!

Very friendly staff and a warm welcome, lovely service. Nice quality food in good price. I will be comming back, thank you

Not been before and glad I went. Such a lovely bunch of people working there - friendly, attentive and really accepting of the changes I wanted to make to an item on the menue. The food was hot, DELICIOUS and a really good price too. Will be back!

Brilliant food (the meatball hot grilled sandwich was delicious), low proces, friendly service. What more could you want? Ideal lunch spot or just a lovely place to grab a coffee.

Everything was so well presented! Great value for money:) lovely service. Great crockery - I could go on and ….

Such a good place ,neighbourhood cafe serving fresh foodstuffs and good coffee in a very pleasant and cheerful atmosphere. Very reasonable prices and cool service with a friendly vibe. A most welcome return after the disaster of a fire….

Unable to park in Chorlton, so I was forced to park here- I saw the owner and it’s soon to reopen! Possibly the best news I’ve had this year!! A peek through the door shows the eclectic look is being continued, with new colours and superb 1960’s bits everywhere- my heart went out to David & Mark when the fire happened, but like the Phoenix itself the cafe looks like it’s reborn even better. Can’t wait for the friendly naughty humour from the chaps and seeing all the other regulars whilst enjoying the best breakfast in Manchester!!

The food was amazing, so tasty. We were all happy with what was brought to the table. The staff were also very friendly. Would definitely go again

Excellent service. Gorgeous food, all freshly made sandwiches, salads etc. Will definitely be back for another visit

Lovely little cafe just off the beaten track - great breakfasts, including really good veggie and vegan options which are just as big and beautifully presented as the full english. Great veggie sausages. Lovely salads and sandwiches for lunch too. A nice place to sit...

Simple things, done right! The staff here are so kind and welcoming, the bacon/sausage butty I had was THE BEST IN CHORLTON and the coffee hit the spot too! Very affordable, fair prices and the place is a sun trap in the morning too! 11/10...

Had a toasted sandwich and coffee from here at lunch today and it was absolutely gorgeous! Coffee delicious and hot too, served with a mini jammie dodger :) ! Mark served us and he was lovely. Highly recommend!

It’s been a while, but the Phoenix definitely hasn’t lost its touch. We have always loved their outdoor tables - it’s a spacious area, surrounded by flowers and beautifully styled, as is the whole deli. But during COVID restrictions, it’s even more appealing as a...

We had quite a conundrum trying to find a full English for my friend who craved one at 1pm and the gentleman in the deli was very accommodating for this need. Thanks again!

Best place in chorlton for a breakfast butty and also a cooked b.fast fab, also the soup is amazing very tasty. The friendliest staff very polite fantastic service highly reccomend my favourite is bacon slice tomato barm cake yum yum 👌🏻

Lovely freshly cooked food with good service. Sandwich/soup or sandwich/salad deal is easily the best value for money lunch in Chorlton and really good quality too. I've never had a bad experience in there.

Our out of town Funeral Directors needed good food on a chilly day. Phoenix Deli surpassed all expectations. The breakfast butties were amazing, bacon delicious and bread divine!! Coffees and teas were good too. Really helpful gents in the deli ensured all our butties and...

The staff in there are so friendly, I go regularly and I am always greeted with a smile! They also do take away but not delivery!

So, my Mother stayed with me overnight before catching a flight to Greece, she only wanted “coffee & a yoghurt” at my flat... because “David does lovely bacon rolls” - the welcome was as warm as ever, David came out and gave my Mother a...

By far my favourite place for lunch/breakfast in chorlton. Delicious food and such lovely people. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely hour or so here before going to cricket match at old Trafford. Delicious coffee with our fab breakfast. Took one of their takeaway sandwiches (freshly made) to the game for lunch. Loved it.

I just called in at the Phoenix Deli for lunch for the first time. It’s possibly the least pretentious place to look at from the outside - a lovely little corner cafe on a quiet crossroads in the peaceful, tree-lined, red brick suburb of Chorlton....

Very nice paninnis and jacket potatoes and salads. Just a lovely welcoming cafe. On street parking , very close to frequent bus services. Highly recommended.

We always trying different places for lunch and this place is worth every penny! Lovely people working there and the sandwiches are amazing. You will get 2 big sandwiches plus choice of 2 different salads, also the price is cheap. Highly recommend to visit this...

I’ve been here a few times when travelling through the area. Lovely coffee and a breakfast barm that’s hard to beat. Quality sausage and bacon, local bakery bread etc. all prepared to perfection and plated beautifully. Quirky. Individual. Food prepared with pride. 10/10

I came across the deli today after my car battery had died, as had my phone battery and after a good 10 hours of traveling back from Portugal!! I went in to ask them for garage directions and Mark and David were kind enough to...

The Big Vegan breakfast is amazing (it might not appear on the menu) but it is always cooked to perfection! And what variety! We feel spoilt each time we visit. The soya lattes are also superb; not a hint of bitterness and always a perfect...

Great, friendly service. Loved the 1970s plates and cups. Very good coffee. Lots of choice for brunch. Reasonable prices- much better value than many other Chorlton eateries. Will definitely return.

Don’t hesitate! Get into this wonderful Deli on Oswald road ! Fabulous fresh coffee! Best breakfast in Manchester! Inexpensive /well managed and easy parking ! Forget beech road , this IS the place for breakfast/ lunch !

What a lovely place this is. Situated on a corner site, with light windows all around, and charmingly decorated, it really does have a welcoming and relaxing feel. You can choose to sit indoors or out. There is a comprehensive menu - it covers almost...

What a lovely cafe! From outside it’s a riot of colourful planters and bright gingham tables- very warm welcome from the lovely lady with silver hair- like a favourite auntie, and just what I like in a coffee shop. The owner introduced himself- a very...

We moved here 2 years ago and tried all the many eateries. We now don’t get past the Phoenix deli for breakfasts and lunch. Really nice atmos, staff great and food delicious, and at a decent price. See the homemade sausages I’m tucking into for...

Super breakfast, amazing sausages, friendly and welcoming service in a lovely retro styled cafe. Veggie and vegan options too. It’s our go to place for tasty, fresh food.

I have visted here a few times and usually greeted by a friendly woman who has always been helpful. Yesterday, the man who was running the shop was rude and condesending when asked if we can pre order 12 sandwiches to collect at lunch time....

The service, the vibe, the breakfast, the coffee, everything is lush down to the crockery - this place is the cosy feast haven you've been searching for

I spotted this doozy of a Deli one day taking a walk around Chorlton and what surprised me most, at first, was its location, to put it simply. For those who know Chorlton (apparently not me..), instead of being on the main Manchester Road, or...

Don’t hesitate! Get into this wonderful Deli on Oswald road ! Fabulous fresh coffee! Best breakfast in Manchester! Inexpensive /well managed and easy parking ! Forget beech road , this IS the place for breakfast/ lunch !

The phoenix has truly risen under the new management that has taken over this delightful little cafe. Before it was dirty, serving lack lustre food with staff who did not know what they were doing. Now under David's management he has created a cosy atmosphere...

Great little cafe near the centre of Chortlon and well worth a visit. Serves traditional things like English breakfast, bacon barns etc as well as lots of original and novel items with a good vegetarian selection. Great coffee, good prices and lovely staff. Go soon!

We don't get here as much as we would like but love it for a quick bit so eat in the afternoon :) Nice Vibe x Keep up the good work

really great food, friendly local neighborhood café. I would recommend a visit, the hot rolls are gorgeous.

I drive past this place all the time and thought I'd pop in for a breakfast barm. Good selection of hot and cold sandwiches and great coffee to eat in or takeaway. The bacon and sausages were from Frosts (of course) the local quality butchers....

Toasted sandwiches and salads were truly spectacular. Prices very reasonable just a bit off the main road away from the noise and chaos..

The breakfasts are delicious, and the café is cosy and welcoming. A variety of food available all day and everything I have tried has been yummy. Given the location, more vegan options e.g. vegan sausages, vegan haggis, etc would make it even better.

I have only just discovered this place. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the service is second to none. Natalie's knowledge of the wide variety of sandwiches and salads was amazing and helped me make the perfect choice. The roast chicken with salad and...

Was cycling all morning , was very very hungry . Popped in here and got my favourite phounex tuna melt . So good . You get a choice of salads to go with your melt , I asked for greek salad and a lentils &...

Fab service! Fab food! Fab place! I had a BBQ chicken sandwich and my bf had a fish finger buttie & we got some soup to take home which was lovely. Definitely recommend this place. Xxx

Phoenix melt sandwiches are addictive. Even the side salads are addictive. Examples are moroccan carrot salad, or lentils with peas, mint and chilli. I dont even like lentils, but i like them in here. A home made soup is made every day.. of the many...

my second visit here. the food is delicious: tasty combinations in their hot sandwiches..I'll be back. great for early birds too as they're open early. lovely smiley and friendly staff. it gets better and better.

lively, super salads that make you feel healthy as you chomp. lovely to have an independent cafe with a unique and friendly style nearby.

I am really lucky to live near the Phoenix Deli, giving me the opportunity to often enjoy their super tasty food. Great breakfast (with loads of original recipes) and lunch (delicious salads and quiches). A lovely small place with friendly staff. One of the best...

Very friendly staff and a warm welcome. This is the sort of place that remembers what you like and how you like it. Good quality inexpensive food.
