The MC Café Bar & Grill, located on the ground floor of ABode Chester, is the place to drop in to, from breakfast until late evening. Our light, informal casual dining establishment overlooks the HQ central piazza, and our outdoor tables, with fantastically effective umbrella heaters, provide continental style dining, day and night. Indoors, enjoy the bustling, fun atmosphere under the watchful gaze of Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Geldoff, a youthful Elton John, and Hugh Grant (stunning portraits by Brian Aris).
Opening hours:
Monday through Friday 5pm – 10pm
Saturday 10am to 10pm
Sunday 10am to 9pm

Michael Caines' philosophy is that great food should be accessible to everyone and this inclusive attitude means that food here is at once delicious, fast and fun.
We are open evenings during the week and daytime through evening at the weekends.
You can enjoy simply superb coffee or teas together with homebaked pastries and pâtisseries; light bites such as sandwiches, paninis and salads; local meat and fish platters to share; fantastic char-grilled meats or fish; or full two- or three-course meals including fresh fish, steaks from local Cheshire beef, Goosnargh duck, Herdwick lamb and much more.
There is always good selection of wines by the glass or bottle; local and imported beers; and freshly made smoothies, juices and bottled waters.
