Evelyn's
Evelyn's is a light-filled, plant-draped restaurant on Tib Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter, serving globally inspired brunch and lunch dishes, Sunday roasts and cocktails. Hanging greenery over a long communal bench gives it its look, and it works from a weekend brunch through to an early-evening drink.

The room
The first thing you notice is the plants: hanging greenery fills the space, with a large display over the central communal bench, set against industrial fittings. It is bright by day, which makes it a favourite for long brunches. The mix of greenery and exposed industrial fixtures gives it a distinctive look.
Food and drink
Brunch dishes run from Bircher muesli to shakshuka and steak and eggs, while lunch might bring tempura sea bass with chips or a burger with kimchi mayo. Sunday roasts feature too. To drink there are coffees and teas, cocktails such as a yuzu spritz, wine and beer. The menu covers both lighter dishes and proper meals, so it suits a mixed group.
In the Northern Quarter
Tib Street is in the middle of the Northern Quarter's independent shops and bars, so Evelyn's is a good fuelling stop for a wander. The Freemount and Mala are close by for later on. Booking is advisable for weekend brunch. Opening runs from mid-morning into the evening, so it doubles as a place for an early dinner before a gig or a night out in the area.
