Cafe Metro - Wigan

This is possibly the best English Breakfast I have had for a long time. Not what I was expecting at all. Great portions, lovely people and service. If you like a hearty breakfast this is the place to eat. Enjoy!

Great value breakfast from a lovely family run, traditional cafe. Nothing too much trouble, lots of choice, very popular, will definitely return pancakes mint!

There are few options in Manchester center for a decent, straightforward meal that isn't too expensive or fast food. However, one hidden gem is this place, where I always stop by on Wednesdays for their amazing Cottage Pie. Today was a rare Thursday visit for me, but I still enjoyed their delicious Irish Stew. It's not overly crowded or pricey, making it a unique find in the area. The simplicity of the meal, paired with the perfect sliced white bread, really hits the spot.

Visited Manchester on a very busy Bank Holiday and struggled to find an eating establishment without very long waiting times . Then we found Cafe Metro and the place was practically empty. Alarm bells should've been ringing at that point! Ordered a grilled chicken ciabbata sandwich and a Minute Steak with mushroom and fries. A pot of tea for 1 and a Latte which is advertised as Lavazza. I drink a lot of coffee and my latte was truly awful in every conceivable way and most certainly NOT Lavazza. To say the place was empty,we waited an awfully long time for our food. There was another couple seated near us....2 obnoxious women who spent the whole time arguing and swearing at each other while one of them kept using the serviettes to stem the blood from her recently fitted belly button piercing. The dining area is depressing and dimly lit.Very tired and dated decor and absolutely zero ambience. When the food finally got served, my partner thought the chicken sandwich was OK but had a distinct taste of the oil it had been cooked in. My plate of food was really quite dreadful. Bland Oven chips,tasteless sautéed mushrooms and the worst steak I've been presented with for many a year.Fatty, full of gristle and overcooked to the point where it was almost impossible to cut. Total bill came to £23 which I felt was poor value for money and we will definitely not revisit anytime soon.

This café is located very close to the Arndale shopping centre and has a much larger interior than it appears from the outside. We enjoyed coffee here which is very reasonably priced. It is also very convenient for the main Manchester bus station Shudehill Interchange. We waited here until it was time for the free city bus to arrive.
