What it serves
The all-day menu is fully halal, which makes La Vie a useful find for anyone looking for halal brunch in the city centre. Expect French toast with a choice of toppings, omelettes and other breakfast classics, then desserts and ice cream for those who came for something sweet. Hot and cold drinks include flavoured lattes, milkshakes and mocktails, so non-coffee drinkers are well looked after. Because the kitchen runs all day, it's as good for a late lunch or an evening dessert as for breakfast.
The look
The room is bright, with shades of pink and floral decoration, and it attracts a young crowd who come as much for the photographs as the food. There's outdoor seating for warmer days, and it is listed as dog-friendly. Weekends are the busiest time, when brunch groups fill the tables.
Nearby
La Vie sits at the northern end of Deansgate, so it fits easily into a shopping morning. Barton Arcade's Victorian glass roof and Pot Kettle Black café are a minute's walk, and the Old Wellington and Manchester Cathedral are a short stroll north. Deansgate's shops, the Royal Exchange and St Ann's Square are all within a few minutes on foot.
