Yummy and colourful meal - Edit
I had dinner here with my 11 year old son. The food was tasty and my summer bowl was colourful and tasty. The "fish" of his fish& chips dish was too strange for him so I got to have that tasty and novel food too. Great for any informal meal

Left disappointed - Edit
We were disappointed with our dinner - half of what we wanted wasn’t available from a small selection menu ( we don’t expect a large selection but it’s the same menu every day so we would have expected nearly all to be available especially considering we had a table at 7.45pm on a Wednesday) which was disappointing to start with.
Read moreThe tofu skewers were tiny and we barely had a mouthful each and the risotto was pretty tasteless and overcooked.
Note - it’s very rare we leave a bad review for anything but we think this place needs to up its game. We fed back to the kitchen but didn’t hear anything back.

A bit plain - Edit
I'd heard amazing things about the allotment and I was a bit disappointed. I got the vegan platter to try lots of things and thought the food was nice but nothing super special. Some of the food was a bit bland. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious - would definitely recommend that.

Delish - Edit
I was a bit apprehensive about this place because of reviews here but I couldn’t fault them. Food was AMAZING and the girl serving me was lovely and super efficient. Had the wings, the skewers and the broccoli and chicory and will definitely come here again next time I’m in Manchester

Options for everyone's taste in a welcoming environment - Edit
The new location in Cathedral Gardens is a nicely decorated, non-pretentious, welcoming place. Although the restaurant is small and was fully booked all the time, service was impeccable and friendly with a personal touch. The menu has options for everyone's taste and everything looks prepared with care.
Read moreAs a first course - I rather call it 1st course instead of 'small plate' to avoid confusion about the portions - we had the San Marzano and the cauliflower wings, the first one was light and delicious, the second one well prepared and tasty but rather filling. As mains we had the Tofu Laksa which had the delicate real flavor of Asia and the roasted salad. As a Desert we chose the Hazelnut Slice and the Affogato. I wish I would have stayed longer in Manchester, because I'd certainly have returned to this little gem and try the other dishes.

Unfortunately did not meet our expectations - Edit
Really saddened to leave this review as we have been wanting to visit this restaurant for ages and love to support fully vegan restaurants.
Read moreWe absolutely loved the decor of the new restaurant. But the food was disappointing and the service poor. The girls were lovely but just didn’t seem interested in giving good service even though the restaurant was quiet. Twice we had to go and ask, first if we could order after being sat a while then the second to chase our dessert after waiting 20 minutes when we were the only ones left in the restaurant.
We ordered the Tofu Laska, the Miso Mushrooms and some chunky chips plus the Hazelnut Dessert. Only the chips and the dessert I felt were any good. The dessert looked and was delicious and the chips huge perfect cooked wedges, just how I like them. The mushrooms were nothing amazing just a plate of sweet tasting mushrooms with some garlic aioli. The tofu was served with the tiniest amount of rice and the curry very watery soup like and lacked flavour.

Had high hopes. - Edit
Had high hopes for this place. I was expecting a nice vegan fine dining experience but was met with nicely presented but tasteless food.
Read moreWe had fish & chips and tofu laksa. Laksa had very little taste to it. Fish & chips were okay but completely passable.
The big positive, however, was dessert - a hazelnut slice, it was really tasty!
Pros: Hazelnut slice dessert !, Staff was nice., Decor is pretty.
Cons: Lack of flavour in main dishes.

Really wanted this to be good - Edit
Such a shame to be disappointed by this place. They didn’t have some of the food on the menu which limited choice on what is a small menu to begin with. The food was tasteless and lukewarm and the service was really slow (had to get up and go to them to get their attention when they were just on their phone). The atmosphere was nice, however, and we would recommend the miso mushrooms and puddings. This was meant to be a nice birthday dinner out and we left saying we’d never come again😒

Beautiful Restaurant, Delicious Food - Edit
Firstly, I loved the decor as soon as we walked in. The restaurant had such a chilled atmosphere and the staff were really lovely. The menu had plenty of options, though no dessert. Myself and my Mum (non vegan) loved the cocktail we ordered, as well as the cucumber water for the table. We ordered the Banana Blossom 'Fish' and Chips and the Mushroom Ramen. Both dishes were presented beautifully and had amazing flavours.
Read moreThe only downside for us is that it took about an hour to get our food. However, if I visit Manchester again, I wouldn't hesitate to return!
Pros: Chilled atmosphere, Delcious food, Friendly staff
Cons: Long wait for food, A little expensive

Fast service and very child friendly. - Edit
Amazing service, our waitress was so polite. We had our baby with us (it was his birthday) and considering the vibe is so quite and relaxed they were so good with us. Food was incredible, jackfruit tacos are a must. Hazelnut slice was mouth watering.

The place is beautiful and the staff is very nice. The food is excellent. However I ordered Chestnut Bourguignon and it was very different comparing to the pictures, it was also not tasty. The Jackfruit nachos is amazing.

Disappointed - Edit
Very slow service, didn’t seem particularly busy.
Read moreButternut squash undercooked and nothing offered to make up for it. Not the nicest room. Lighting needs sorting out. Supermarket music on tinny speakers. I really liked this restaurant in the early days, But can’t see myself going back. Not worth the money.
Cons: Small portions , Awful lighting and music

Expensively disappointing - Edit
I really getting fed up with expensive vegan food tatt, and here is another example!! Portion sizes small but bill large. Menu uninspiring as you can get it in any pub with a vegan option: cauliflower wings, fish and chips etc...... I want to go somewhere honest to eat which shows off real vegan food and is inspirired cookery.
