Nice breakfast - Edit
Called in for lunch but they were still on the breakfast menu. I was pretty gutted but the breakfast was really good. I found the BLT a bit saucy but that is just my preference. Will definitely be back for lunch.

Great vegan breakfast - Edit
Had the breakfast burger and Hojicha which were great. Friendly staff too. Bit of a wait for food which they said was due to being short staffed and they gave a free portion of chips to apologise which was very kind.

Puts all other burgers to shame - Edit
The TanTan Ramen burger (new for their autumn menu) is the BEST BURGER I've ever had, no exaggeration - the gorgeous rich peanut sauce, the texture of the crunchy fried ramen, then the freshness of the cucumber and coriander. This recipe is a stroke of genius. Enough to make a girl wanna move to Manchester. The garlic parm chikn tenders are also delicious. Please take my money.
Read morePros: TanTan Ramen burger took my breath away, Great service, gorgeous vibe, beautiful art, Eating here is always a wonderful experience

Nice spot for vegan lunch - Edit
Nice spot and they have a good value lunch deal where you get a burger and chips & drink for £15. Tbh if I went back I’d order something else and not be too drawn in by the deal, as the rest of the menu looked better! I’m reluctant to comment negatively on employees but the staff member I dealt with could have been a bit friendlier / warmer… I felt a bit awkward going in as a solo diner and the vibe I got didn’t really help me feel welcome there. Either way, nice fully vegan spot in Manchester city centre!

Lovely find with vegan food and non alcoholic cocktails! - Edit
This restaurant came recommended to me during my visit to Manchester so I had to check it out! I started small with the garlic parm chik’n pieces and it was absolutely delicious! I will be coming back the next chance I get to try their miso Ceasar salad! The burgers looked delicious as well!

Any less than 5* would be harsh - Edit
Lovely place with lovely staff and the food looked excellent. Sort of wish I’d had a burger but the truffalo mac and cheese was great, and even the small size was filling. An extra £4 to add a few of the chicken bites was a bit excessive I feel but never mind. Also did have to wait quite a while for the scran to come out but it wasn’t exactly quiet so I can’t dock any points for that.
Read moreSide note I wasn’t aware that they’re alcohol-free as well which was annoying because I fancied a beer but again, not docking points for that!

Go here a lot - it's amazing - Edit
We go to Wholesome Junkies a lot, definitely one of the best vegan places in Manchester. Good gluten free options too. Meat-eating friends always say it's one of the best burgers they've had too. If you're in a car parking can be a hassle, but worth it. Try Tib St multistorey or get a motorbike ;)
Read morePros: Awesome food!, Very good gluten free options
Cons: Parking can be a hassle (Tib St multistorey best)

Oh, and Hinterland (the bar hosting WJ) is totally alcohol free so good for those with religious objections and if you're driving. Beer and cocktails both very good.

Beautiful spot & delicious food! - Edit
Such a cute and cosy spot, the interior is really beautiful and the food is clearly made with love. We had the full English breakfast, French toast (a must try!!) and the egg, sausage and cheese roll all from the brunch menu. Everything was perfect and I love the little gift shop they have here too. A Must visit in Manchester!

Great vegan junk food - Edit
Fully vegan menu in a trendy basement bar. Good range of burgers and a couple of other things. It was pretty quiet at lunchtime midweek and there is a £15 deal for a main, fries and a drink. Food is good too!

Seasonal menu - Edit
My favourite of their locations, though the others are great too. Love the atmosphere here, the seasonal menu is always spot on, and the food never disappoints. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming. Easy 10/10.

Wholesome Junkies @ Hinterland - Edit
Second time at Wholesome Junkies in the Hinterland alcohol free bar. I love the relaxing atmosphere in here, it’s very friendly, cosy design inside. I had the Korean tofu poppers with mac and cheese, both very tasty. Deciding what to order is the hardest part as everything sounds delicious! I highly recommend this spot - also book if you can as it’s a popular spot.
Read moreUPDATE I keep going back here, it’s one of my favourite spots in Manchester. This time for breakfast - really good tofu scramble, and of course the tater tots.
There are a selection of products to purchase as well - vegan chocolate, specialty tea etc. many of which would make a lovely gift.

Junk It Up - Edit
Very glad to finally visit here. We really enjoyed the OG and Kimchi burgers we had that were delicious. We also shared a small mac 'n' cheese and fries, which again were excellent. Our son loved the tater tots too.
Read moreStaff and vibe were excellent and I love the twinned operation with Hinterland. Only con was no chips with the burger, which I would have expected for the price.

Korean Poppers and Thai Fries - Edit
Found their pop up Herbert's Yard. Ordered the Korean poppers (which is tofu) and Thai fries. Really loved the poppers but I think the fries were the best. I think it is because I love the textures, the potato with crispy onions and seeds go really well together. There was a lot more sauce than I realised on first look too. Would recommend 10/10.

Such fancy Korean chicken dishes - Edit
Korean chicken dishes tasted like the typical dak gang jung (fried chicken pieces in sweet and spicy sauce), but much fancier than anything I had in Korea.
