Vegan Guide To Eating Out In Manchester
Manchester Vegan Eats
It may not be on the list of top Vegan travel destinations but in Manchester, you'll be spoilt for choice with such a wide range of vegan options within easy walking distance. Most restaurants and cafes will serve at least one vegan option on their menu these days and many of the best vegan eats are to be found in non-vegan restaurants, but that's okay, it's progress! That said, here are my top recommendations to try whilst visiting Manchester.
P.S. Another one to try which I can't add to the list is Wholesome Junkies in the Arndale Market.
Did someone say junk food? When it comes to a big greasy burger overloaded with sauce, fries on the side and a milkshake to wash it down, no one does it better than V Rev. This American style dinner is the vegan junk food dream. Give it a try.

Fish and chips, a British classic and now vegan! Both main vegan dishes are great, although we prefer the Soyz in the Hood.

Teacup Kitchen
53-55 Thomas StIf you've got a craving for pancakes (which I often do) then Alabama's is the place to go. They also do a pretty good 'full English' and a couple of other breakfast and lunch dishes. Be warned it gets really busy so I'd recommend booking a table or getting there as early as possible. Also bear in mind they stop serving at 3pm.

Canteen style kitchen serving up a nice range of wholesome vegetarian and vegan dishes. Decent selection of snacks and desserts also available. There is also a wholefoods store above which does some hot foods like pasties and cakes.

Another canteen-style kitchen hidden in the backstreets of the Northern Quarter. This health-conscious cafe offers a range of daily meals and a salad bar from which you can select 4 or 6 foods for around £7+. They also do some cakes and other deserts and great smoothies. Not the cheapest option imo.

Indian takeaway joint that turned vegan a few years ago and offers a selection of curry and rice meals but also burgers, chips, falafel and tofu wraps which I recommend. The owners are really friendly and the value is good.

One of my personal favourites. A few vegan fillings to choose from. They will offer medium or large sizes. I find they are pretty filling so only go for large if you've really got an appetite.

The Allotment Vegan Restaurant
6 Vernon StLively restaurant and bar that serves vegetarian/vegan Indian street food including snacks, entree, appetizers, soups. Think tapas but Indian style. Great for sharing with friends and family. Nice food and a great experience.

Pie & Ale

53 Church StDough Pizza Kitchen
77 High StThe holy grail of vegan takeaway. A little out the way in Chorlton but worth the trip. Pizzas are great value, never stingy with toppings and they put plenty of cheese on. Burgers are pretty good and they also usually have a variety of cupcakes.

Vertigo
18 Cross StreetOne of the best chain restaurant selections when it comes to vegan offerings and three restaurants in Manchester. Nice selection of Pan-Asian dishes, always tasty and always great portions. I recommend the Tamarind Tofu. As with most though, very lacking on desserts.

Did someone say award-winning vegan sausages? Well, apparently someone did and that's what they're serving up at Koffee Pot. So if you're after a full-on brekkie get over there and get on it. Just note that on a weekend they will not do like-for-like swaps on your plate, for some insane reason.

Looking for a late-night cuppa and maybe a slice to go with it? Chapter one should be your first stop. Open until midnight every night serving the usual drinks and usually with a selection of 3+ vegan cakes including brownies. Really chill atmosphere, great for working or meeting friends.
