Trof

Buen lugar en el centro para pasar la noche. Buena música y perfecto para grupos. Precio moderado. Me encanta

Quoting Trof’s menu: «here the best Sunday dinner in the world». Let’s go for it, I want to try some typical British food. I opted for roast beef, and even though it might not be the best in the the world, it was absolutely delicious: the meat, soft and tasty, was accompanied by a rich gravy and good seasonal vegetables. Besides, not so expensive: 12.5£ for a dish of Sunday roast. Can’t wait til next Sunday!
Dim light and candles create a great atmosphere, and the place looks very tidy; moreover the service is particularly fast. Music was a bit too loud, such a shame since Trof could be the ideal pub just to sit and have a chat.

This used to be Fallowfield’s hardy perennial in south Manchester but since opening here in the Northern Quarter as well, they have parted company (the original now being the Fallow Café).
The transplant was a great success and this bar has all the relaxed funkiness and great food I was used too. The menu is good pub food, Sunday roasts and brilliant brekkies. They do their own beer too which a £2.90 a pint (4 – 8 happy hour) makes it a great after work/​shopping watering hole. 3 floors and plenty of room suits any sized party.

This place is great — i’ve only ever been for a few drinks but the food always looked fab! Eventually I organised to meet friends there at 10am on Sunday morning — feeling slightly worse for wear I arrived first and bar two other diners I had the pick of the pace for myself…
The waitress came over to ask what I would like and I opted for an apple juice whilst perusing the menu and waiting for the rest of my party to join! Even though both my friends arrived at different times the waiting staff were spot on coming over to take drink orders and eventually our food order when we’d eventually stopped talking long enough to choose something to eat!
I opted for the eggs Benedict — given my slight hungover taste I also added some mushrooms and hash browns (at only 50p per serving!). All of our food arrived together and timely as we were all starving! I may have went overboard in my order but I just about managed to polish the plate off!
The eggs were perfectly runny in the middle and the hollandaise sauce nice and creamy — and the hash browns were of course nice ad crispy! YUM. My friends opted for the full English which looked tasty and the other went for the avocado eggs which looked great too.
Given the amount of cordial I drank alongside the earl gray tea and cordial juice (again only 50p a pop) I left feeling relaxed, full and back on my way to dehydration. This place was fab for a relaxed Sunday brunch and catch up with old friends.
I’ll be back for the Sunday lunch next!

Came in here on a Tuesday afternoon when all was quiet in there Northern Quarter. It’s on the Shudehill end of Thomas Street, quite a small bar downstairs but looks like there’s an upstairs too which I didn’t check out.
I just wanted a spot of lunch and they seemed to have a pretty decent menu so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I was the only one in there, bartender was chatty and super helpful. Menu has a breakfast which runs till 4pm and American things like burgers, but also has a grill menu and some nice salads. Plenty of options for vegetarians too. Wanted something a bit more healthy so was torn between the superfood salad with grilled chicken as an extra or the grilled chicken with brown rice, pitta, mint, gherkins etc.
Opted for the superfood salad in the end and wasn’t disappointed. I find a lot of restaurants do really boring salads but this was great– rocket, almonds, quinoa, broccoli, tomatoes, grilled chicken with Harissa… really good. Also washed it down with a citrus chamomile tea. Nice vibe in this bar and would come back for food most definitely.

Dropped into Trof for breakfast. I’ve been before but just for drinks in the small ground floor bar. True to form on this visit, even at 11am the ground floor was packed do we headed upstairs where there is a lot more room.
I ordered a fried breakfast with extras of black pudding and toast. I had high hopes and was left underwhelmed. On arrival it looked presentable. The sausage, mushrooms, egg and black pudding were lovely. The bacon was barely warm and not freshly cooked. The toast was a disaster– it had been allowed to go cold before being buttered, thus the butter did not melt at all. It was also cold, and stale at the corners. I hate that. Fair enough, when the barman/​waiter came over to clear my plate and enquired if everything had been ok, I told him about the toast issue. He said if I told him earlier he’d have been happy to bring some more. Ok, but it’s toast. I don’t want to wait for replacement toast that’s going to arrive when I’ve finished everything else. It’s just toast, get it right first time.

I decided to come after work one night, as its somewhere that I always walk past going to and fro work.
When we walked in the evening it was really busy, there are three floors to this place so by the time we got down to the bottom again looking for a table one had cleared.
There is a nice comforting atmosphere here, low light, cushy leather sofas and wooden furniture. The drink menu was really nicely put together offering cheeky cocktails to universal beer. These were quite pricey, the only cider on tap was £4 but Alderstone cider is tasty! and the bar seemed to be always busy.
Looking at the menu, its a little limited. I did not see any fish dishes, they had a lot of burgers, ribs and a couple of salads… so you either go in eating meat or veggie options. After a while I settled on a halloumi cheese and mushroom burger and my friend got the Trof special burger. When they arrived I was shocked with amount of fries these came with! There were more fries than burger and were flavoured with rosemary and salt… I admit my burger did not look special but it was full of flavour and was probably the best veggie burgers I’ve had in a long time.
I was quite full by this point but the lovely waitress tempted me into a blueberry and vanilla cheesecake… This reminded me more of one of those grenola fruit yoghurts you get, as it was not a set cheesecake like I am used to… but again this was really flavoursome!
I will happily come back here again, as I felt relaxed at the waitress/​bar lady was really nice. he

Un beau décor, même s’il est faux-​vieux, de bonnes bières, mais pour le reste, une nourriture franchement moyenne. J’ai pris une salade qui semblait appétissante mais était complètement gâchée par une sauce bizarre et épaisse là où une bonne huile d’olive et du citron auraient été parfaits.

I love trof in the northern quarter it’s a great atmosphere whenever you go. Me and my partner have been quite a few time for food and drinks. I like the potato wedges as a snack you get normal potatoes and sweet potato with sweet chilli and sour cream dips. I have had the burger which is really nice I have also had the chicken Salad and the Sunday dinner all of them were delicious. They do happy hour as well were you can get a bottle of wine for about £10. They have three floors and it get so busy at the weekend you can hardly move but I like going on s Sunday its more chilled out and relaxed you get all different types of people so you can really be your self some people are dressed up some people are casual. The staff are really friendly so overall I love his bar definitely a place to try if your in the northern quarter.
