On a recent trip to Altrincham on a potential future house hunt with the boy we stumbled upon Y…McGregor. This cute little cafe is situated near the tram stop and is a small haven from the busy Stamford New Road traffic.
Offering local, organic, fresh, and all those other things that make you feel good inside, food and drink we decided to try it out.
Now I always think you can tell a lot about a place by their coffee and Y…McGregor have a very good fair trade, organic offering. I had a very delicious latte that was so huge I almost lost the rest of my appetite, almost.
The boy had one of the daily specials which was cheesy chicken rarebit. He was served first and I was served with major food envy. The filling was full of delicious chicken, cheese and parsley and the fresh bread was lightly toasted to perfection. On the side was a lovely homemade coleslaw and salad.
I ordered the mediterranean roasted veg and feta jacket potato. The veg was well flavoured by the feta but not over cooked so it had a crunch left to it. The plate was very well served with a salad.
The cafe had a laid back feel and the staff we very pleasant. It wasn’t very busy when we were in there so it lacked a bit of a vibe. I’d like to see what the cafe is like for brunch on a Saturday.
