The story
In Salford’s Colliers Yard, Kallos Cafe & Wine Bar brings a slice of Greek life to Manchester. The name comes from the ancient Greek word for beauty, and it’s a fitting description for what the team set out to create: a place where the beauty of shared laughter, stories, and connection is as important as what’s on the plate.
By day, it’s a relaxed brunch spot with a Mediterranean twist. Familiar classics are elevated with quality ingredients, from specialty coffee to dishes that feel both comforting and fresh. As the afternoon shifts into evening, the atmosphere turns more vibrant while keeping the cosy, welcoming feel of the morning. This is when the wine bar comes into its own, with a carefully chosen selection from the sun-kissed vineyards of Greece and the Mediterranean.
The meze menu is built around small plates that highlight the region’s authenticity, blending tradition with a modern creativity that feels genuine rather than forced. These are crowd-pleasers made with care, designed to be shared over leisurely conversation and a glass of wine.
Kallos has earned a Michelin Recommended nod for 2026, a recognition that speaks to the quality and intention behind the food and drink. It’s a place that doesn’t try to be anything other than itself: a Greek-inspired cafe and wine bar where the focus is on good ingredients, warm hospitality, and the simple pleasure of sitting down with people you like.
