Katsouris Deli

A favourite with people all over the city, Katsouris Deli is a bustling cafe housed in a Gothic-looking building, found slap bang on the middle of Deansgate. It’s a popular lunchtime destination thank to their hot ciabatta sandwiches served with almost every filling you can think of, as well as Italian, German and Mexican specialities — give the German Frikadellen burger a try. As well as mammoth meat feasts, there are lots of vegetarian options too, with their veggie platter and deli counter featuring plenty of mezze items. Their hot carvery is one of the deli’s biggest attractions, serving continental meats with paella. Also open during the morning, Katsouris serves up great value breakfasts, covering dishes from all over Europe, and is a perfect choice to cure those hangovers. If you don’t have time to sit in and eat, your food is also available to take away. The deli also sells a small selection of high end foods usually only reserved for pay day.
