Rustica

You know that feeling when you find a breakfast place that doesn't try too hard? That's Rustica on Hilton Street. The kind of spot where you can roll in at 10am on a Tuesday for a bacon sarnie that actually tastes like something, or bring your mum for weekend brunch without her complaining about the music being too loud. The menu keeps things simple but does it properly – think full English breakfasts with decent sausages, avocado toast that doesn't cost fifteen quid, and coffee that won't make you wince. It's the sort of place that understands Manchester mornings: sometimes you need fuel, sometimes you need comfort, and you definitely don't need attitude with your eggs.
