Sourcing their meat from local butcher J.W. Mettricks, Vivid Lounge in New Islington is committed to sustainability as well as quality. You’ll be able to taste the difference too, especially in dishes like the Thai sour sausage, beef massaman and the duck in tamarind sauce. For breakfast, the cuisine is just as superb. We recommend the full English breakfast with sausage, poached eggs, dry cured bacon (all of which are free range), hash browns, baked beans, toast and fresh tomatoes – there’s even a veg-friendly version! And on Saturdays and Sundays, you can order up kedgeree made with smoked haddock, spicy rice and poached eggs. Booking ahead – especially for a Thai dinner – is highly recommended at Manchester’s Vivid Lounge.
