Pieminister

You'll walk into what used to be a chapel and immediately get why this place pulls in the crowds. There's something about eating a really good pie in a space with actual character—high ceilings, exposed brick, the works—that makes your lunch feel less like a midweek pit stop and more like something deliberate. The menu changes seasonally, so you're not eating the same thing everyone else had three months ago. Grab a window seat if you can and watch Northern Quarter types drift past while you demolish something with proper pastry.
