There’s no denying it – we’re now living in the age of pink. It’s the shade of the millennial season, and everyone wants to snap it up (on their cameras, that is). After becoming a social media sensation, the number of rosy restaurants across this city has skyrocketed, but which one do you visit first? From Instagrammable cocktail spots to strawberry-coloured cafés, here are the very best pink restaurants and bars in Manchester for you to tour.

Sunset By Australasia

For one of the top pink Instagram restaurants in Manchester, check out Sunset by Australasia. Boasting Art Deco furnishings, fluorescent signs and pastel hues as far as the eye can see, this is a truly TikTok-worthy visit. While you're admiring the scenery, dig into a pan-Asian fusion menu of sushi, fresh fish and grilled meats or a spot of afternoon tea.

Sunset is truly a pastel-coloured paradise.

Bingo Balls

You can’t say no to Bingo Balls, the city’s hot to trot venue that's a fuchsia-packed dream. With an adult-sized ball pit and quotes from your fave flicks written in neon, this is a lovely place in the city centre to stamp your feet to RnB, hip hop or throwback bangers. Plus, we couldn't agree more with the ode to Mean Girls across signage: 'On Wednesdays, we wear pink'.

Dive in among the balls or attend a cocktail masterclass.

Cocoa Cabana

Ancoats' Cocoa Cabana is a real paradise. Not your average choice out of pink Instagrammable bars in Manchester, this cute venue is also an award-winning chocolatier and café. While you’re taking in the rose-coloured walls and making yourself at home on the luxurious seating, tuck into tasty truffles or artisan cakes. To wash it down? Choose between a warming brew and a signature cocktail.

Even the cocktails are pink here.

Archie’s

The vibrant décor of this Piccadilly flagship will have you snapping selfies all over the gaff, with peony-coloured walls, neon signage, inflatable flamingos and even an adult-sized ball pit. Not only is Archie’s in Manchester the OG pink restaurant around these parts, but it's also a go-to destination for all of your fast-food dreams. Expect American grub with extravagant burgers, loaded fries and shakes.

Every day of the week is pink at Archie's Manchester.

Menagerie

Undeniably on the list of most pink girly restaurants in Manchester, Menagerie is a stunning spot to indulge in tapas-style dining, afternoon tea or bottomless brunch. Think neon messages, hanging doves and walls coming to life with shrubbery, as well as quirky purple cocktails garnished with macaroons. Meet you there?

Menagerie is perfect for a dreamy pink bottomless brunch in Manchester.

Tattu

Even if you haven’t been to Tattu yourself, you've probably seen it on the 'Gram. Combining Chinese décor with our new favourite colour, this Spinningfields icon is a unique dining experience. Alongside a menu of sharing plates and exotic bites, they have an extensive list of tipples with a signature twist – the Yin Yang espresso martini will keep you going all eve.

Make sure to get a snap next to their famous glowing tree.

Copper and Blossom

Make a night of it at Copper and Blossom, a picturesque hotel and lively bar with blushing walls and stunning magenta lighting. The quirky Ancoats venue boasts cascading flowers, velvet seating and other dreamy décor, as well as private cinema rooms and cocktails. So, grab your best PJs and have a girls night in like no other.

Ideal for a girly sleepover.

EL&N

You may recognise this floral restaurant from social media and rightly so, as EL&N has dominated Instagram thanks to its vibrant floral decor and pops of fierce fushia. Nestled in Trafford Palazzo, it's one of the best pink places in Manchester. Sip on a pistachio-flavoured Spanish latte under a pastel arch and abide by the writing on the wall: Adventure awaits, but first... coffee. Not a fan of the beans? There's an all-day brunch on the menu, plus delightful cakes, pastas and wraps. 

You don't have to pink twice about visiting EL&N.
