Cafe Continental enjoyed another high-profile moment over the weekend, welcoming one of the world’s biggest music stars through its doors.
The Stalybridge restaurant cooked up a feast for legendary singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder, who visited following his recent performance in Manchester.
As part of his 50th Anniversary Tour, marking 50 years since the release of hit album Songs in the Key of Life, the 25-time Grammy winner took to the Co-op Live stage last Sunday (November 8).
The visit comes during a period of growth for the restaurant, which opened in 2024 and has since attracted attention beyond Greater Manchester.
Co-founded by Ryan Robinson and Lee Ferguson, the Parisian-inspired bistro has received national recognition for its dishes, and boasts over 100,000 followers on Instagram.
The restaurant took to social media to share news of the visit, writing:
“Surreal things happen now and again. This is one of them!
“Pleasure to welcome Mr Stevie Wonder to the restaurant to close off his tour!”
