Lounge

Expo Lounge is a vibrant cafe with striking blue tiles, red trim, and large windows. Colorful outdoor seating and potted plants line the sidewalk, with a person enjoying the lively Expo atmosphere amid nearby buildings and trees.

A cozy café with people enjoying food and conversation at colorful tables; large windows let in daylight, and ornate chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Expo-inspired paintings decorate the red walls, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

People are dining and talking inside a cozy, warmly lit restaurant, reminiscent of an Expo gathering, with chandeliers, red walls, decorative lamps, and framed art. The inviting atmosphere features several tables occupied by guests.

A cozy café interior, perfect for an Expo meetup, features colorful plush stools, patterned armchairs, a wooden table, and a green sofa set against large red-framed windows with daylight streaming in and a lively street view outside.

People are dining in a cozy, colorful restaurant with floral wallpaper, vintage chandeliers, and mismatched wooden tables and chairs, creating an atmosphere as lively and welcoming as an Expo. Framed art adorns the walls.

Our Lounge

Expo Lounge is on a great little corner site in the heart of Didsbury. We’ve a lovely terrace and big windows (which open right up) running right along the front, perfect for people watching on Wilmslow Road.

We serve a great range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) in a really relaxed, welcoming, light and airy space. We were once an old furniture shop, and we’re proud to continue that tradition by having plenty of vintage pieces in our Lounge!
