We arrived early for our booked lunch and tour of the MU building. We asked if we could buy a couple of glasses of wine and it all seemed too much like hard work so we walked off and spent our money elsewhere. We came...back for the Iunch and ordered from the set menu but the staff member who took our order didn’t tell us that we got small amounts of everything on the menu. The cauliflower bites were the best part of the meal - everything else I could have left - not horrible just bland. They also forgot to serve bread to us until after we had eaten the nice cheese. We were served a nice glass of Prosecco. It was a lovely atmosphere with the Art Deco decor.More

Lovely Cafe, Wonderful and friendly staff and generous portions. A really unique experience that would be a great treat for a gift or special occasion

Our meal was lovely, along with a glass of bubbly and finishing with good coffee. The tour started and we were excited to see this iconic building. The tour guide was terrific outlining the tour. Unfortunately, I became ill and was unable to continue. The...staff from Cafe 1932 were extremely kind looking after me until I was able to leave. Thank you so much. Hopefully We’ll be able to finish the tour one day.More

A fascinating tour of this beautifully iconic building, capably and knowledgeably guided by our guide. The restored areas are simply stunning - thank goodness for the keen eye, attention to detail and appreciation of the period shown by the benefactor and archtitects. The lunch, however,...was disappointing and took too long.More

The tour of the Manchester Unity Building was great, very interesting and our tour guide was lovely, informative, and made sure everyone could hear when she was talking. Our lunch wasn't great. It wasn't terrible but not the delicious lunch it looked when I booked...the tickets. Our cauliflower bits were very overcooked although tasty once you got past the batter. My prosecco was half a glass, we had to keep asking for water (it was a very hot day) I didn't realise it was a set menu (probably didn't read the fine print) and the food wasn't the sort of thing my husband is keen to eat, although the arancini ball was nice. Worth doing but better if you could do it without paying for the average food.More

The Lunch and Tour was a very valuable and enjoyable experience for colleagues from St Monica’s College Epping. After many postponements due to lockdowns we finally were able to do this. The tour guide made it very informative. The cafe food was lovely and the...bubbly of course!More

We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning with the breakfast and tour package. Breakfast was filling and well presented and we didn’t feel at all rushed. The tour was good fun and gave great information and insights into this rather spectacular building and the restorations. We...both felt this was good value and would recommend it to locals and visitors alike.More

Totally disappointed with our brunch on Saturday The layered omelette cake was very dry and uneatable! The waitress said she would let the chef know!! My husbands salmon was just ok As this was the second tour/sitting of the morning this should not occur!!! Will...not return nor recommendMore

Tours of the Art Deco Manchester Unity building have reopened and we thoroughly enjoyed ours. The knowledgeable guide and staff made the tour a very enjoyable experience and the restored parts of the building are fascinating, especially for design fans. Breakfast was fresh and nicely...presented but not the highlight.More

The 1932 Cafe and Restaurant is at the base of the Manchester Unity Building, which was built in 1932 at the height of the Great Depression. The Cafe is in Art Deco style, it is a fine place for morning tea. The staff are helpful...and the menu is welcoming.More

I went to 1932 for coffee only. Situation is difficult because of Covid but I did not find the place to be cosy and attractive. Coffee was all right.

During our short stay in Melbourne we had breakfast at this place. The food is very good and the location in the beautiful Manchester Unity Building is great.
