Sunday Lunch at Cafe Continental, Stalybridge

You've likely seen it on Instagram and we decided it's time we tried this Insta famous restaurant. Vikki has already been and can vouch for the quality of the food and today were off to try their Sunday Roast.

Café Continental quickly made its mark as one of Greater Manchester’s most exciting restaurants. Blending the charm of a Parisian bistro with a laid-back neighbourhood feel, it brings a fresh energy to Stalybridge’s growing food scene. With its warm red leather seating, wood-panelled walls, and soft lighting, the space feels effortlessly timeless—like the kind of place you’d stumble across on a back street in Rome or Barcelona and never want to leave.

The menu follows the same philosophy, focusing on seasonal ingredients and flame-cooked dishes that let simple, bold flavours shine. Fresh seafood, perfectly grilled steaks, and rich, slow-cooked meats take centre stage, with smaller plates offering everything from Manchego and leek croquettes to crispy lamb belly with salsa verde. Sundays bring a roast that’s already gaining a reputation, while the Parisian-style hot chocolate—thick, indulgent, and served with fresh cream has become a must-try.

This is a meet & eat meal, you order your food on the day at our pre-booked table and pay for all food, drinks and service charge less the £10 paid to Spice.
