I stopped into Nurcans for lunch today with my little boy and my sister. The staff are lovely, found us a highchair straight away and were really polite and welcoming. There is no kids menu, but when I asked for a smaller portion of a main meal The staff were only too happy to oblige. Service was excellent, the food was hand cooked from fresh to order, and was worth every penny. My sister had a jacket potato with tuna mayo. I had the medium beef burrito and my little boy had meatball pasta. The flavours were incredible, the food was excellently cooked, and we were blown away by it. Most of the cakes are handmade, I can absolutely recommend the banana bread! Will absolutely be returning in the future!!!!

Came across this little gem of a place on a visit to Preston. Called in for brunch and, wow, what a find.Ordered the breakfast wraps and they were cooked from fresh & tasted amazing! Menu was extensive with lots of variety. Staff were really nice and the café was spotlessly clean. Nurcan's is definitely my top pick on my next visit to the city. Genuinely fab.
