Fine dining vegan - Edit
My favourite vegan restaurant in Manchester, and fantastic for a slightly more refined evening. Ever-changing menu keeps it interesting and the food never disappoints; always superb and interesting flavours. A little more expensive, but the food and experience justify it for me

Great food, slow service - Edit
Had a delicious lunch at Allotment, the only problem was the speed of service (40 mins for starters, 40 for main course, 20 for pudding). The food made up for the wait, but if you want a quick meal during your lunch break take note...

pretentious - Edit
I had been looking forward to coming here for a while, alas I was very disapointed the food was overpriced and the portions were small. what little there was tasted ok but deep frying everything, it is easy to make things taste ok. The staff were very nice and the decor was lovely.

I didn’t have as good experience as others, but will definitely give them another shot.
Read moreWent for brunch on a Sunday with a friend. The place was dead, but as we were seated quite far away we were a bit neglected by serving staff. Brunch was very expensive, and there was no cake being served til 2pm so we had to go elsewhere for that. We need cake after brunch!
Staff didn’t notice us trying to call for bill so we got up and paid.
Pros: Vegan!, Delicious food
Cons: Dead so no ambience, Inattentive staff , No cake on Sunday until 2!

The food is incredible. The chefs understand flavour and combination. Even the cocktails are so well considered.

Fantastic non-pretentious place - Edit
My husband and I loved everything about The Allotment. There was a warm welcome from friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, imaginative delicious food, and a great atmosphere. We tried a confit aubergine with potato tureen, a hassleback courgette with chowder, the cauliflower wings and the seasonal greens, plus some fab desserts including a really delicious creme brulee. Every bite was perfection!

Up there with the very best - Edit
Every now and then you have an experience that makes you even more excited to be a plant-based eater - and this was certainly one for me. I enjoyed the seasonal three course set menu for £20. It was flavourful, rich in texture yet still unpretentious. It's fine dining, but in a warm, casual atmosphere. I'll definitely be back when in Manchester.
Read morePros: Completely vegan, Seasonal menu offering diverse, delicious options, Good vegan wine and cocktail selection
Cons: It's more on the expensive side, but well worth it

Very nice to find this great vegan restaurant in Manchester city centre (was previously in Stockport). We enjoyed all of our choices including: apple and fennel soup, aubergine steak, beignets, the magnicent chunky chips.

Started well but a sad disappointment - Edit
So looked forward to coming here. A lovely room and delicious cauliflower buffalo wings and charred tofu for starters. Sadly all downhill from there. Mains looked pretty but the stars of our dishes (one aubergine steak and the other hasselback courgette) were soggy, watery and with no taste. Accompanying vegetables and garnish were solid and undercooked. Everything tasteless and the chunky chips greasy.
Read moreSuch a shame.
Pros: All vegan, Nice place, Some good dishes
Cons: Unreliable cooking, Tasteless main courses, Expensive

Really lovely place - friendly staff and love the vibe in there. - Edit
Had a really lovely meal here yesterday afternoon. The staff were really friendly with us and made sure we had everything we needed. Had the three courses for £20 which is a good deal, as alone one main course is about £15! The aubergine steak was delicious, in fact everything was! It really was like something I’d never eaten before. Would 100% recommend, it was fab.

Really friendly and helpful staff at this informal and central restaurant. The menu is very imaginative and allows you to choose a selection of sides if they appeal over the starter and main options. On our visit there was a £20 set menu which was good value. Highly recommended.
