Nothing beats a good brunch.
Chester is ever changing with new independent businesses and has been voted one of the best places in the North-West to live. With a City beaming to the top with history and outstanding places to indulge in food and drink our options are seemingly endless for any occasion, however here are some of our favourite places to brunch in Chester.
(Left to right: Hickory’s – The Alchemist – Meltdown – Atina Kitchen – The Flower Cup)
With fantastic views and a perfect location overlooking the River Dee, Hickory’s has grown from strength to strength with a large restaurant, bar and outside dining area, there are always plenty of seats. It does get very busy due to how popular it is, so we recommend booking if you are going.
The brunch menu has a wide variety of Southern American State dishes, from The Great American Breakfast – to #chestertweet’s personal favourite of Fried Chicken and Waffles, there is just something about fried chicken and maple syrup that just belongs together. They also have plenty of gluten-free and vegan options to cater to everyone.
Address: Souters Lane, Chester, CH1 1SD

Next up is The Alchemist – the must visit place for cocktails, and brunch.
The Alchemist hasn’t long been open in Chester, however, it has had such an impact on the nightlife and on the food scene with their extensive menu and unique cocktail list. Our choice is the “Mish Mosh” dish anytime we dine here, with broken eggs and chorizo – what more could you want.
Address: St John Street, Chester, CH1 1DA

Meltdown has taken over Handbridge as the toastie place to be, from your classic cheese – to the creation of the Breakfast melt including hash browns AND beans, Meltdown tackles the real issues of what to have in your cheese toastie.
Meltdown also holds numerous events, such as cheese and wine pairing nights and private dining options which we believe is a fantastic opportunity to grab a load of friends, eat these toasties in great company and put the world to rights.

Smoked Salmon on thick white toasted bread, with melt in the mouth poached eggs, is what Saturday brunch is all about. With a wide variety of brunch options, including the old faithful of a fry up, you are in safe hands. If you’re hunting for a more relaxed environment to enjoy your brunch, make sure you give Atina a try.

Located on the rows on Watergate street, this is one of the best places to escape to if you want to step away from everything and enjoy the peaceful environment at this fantastic café.
