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

Excellent Vegan Food - Edit
Visited for dinner whilst in Manchester for a concert at Bridgewater Hall. Fabulous vegan food and they were very good regarding allergies. Had butternut squash salad and tofu skewers with satay sauce to start then cauliflower harissa stew and banana blossom fish n chips with minted peas. Absolutely delicious...will definitely revisit.

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.

Excellent food - Edit
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.
Read moreWouldn't recommend just go the chippy instead.

Friendly service, food was really good. Not the best ramen I've ever had, slight lack of mushrooms and noodles but still good. Everything else was very nice, especially the satay tofu!

Fabulous Sunday roast - Edit
We went here after doing the marathon and the Sunday roasts were delicious and plentiful - just what we needed! The staff were great, especially considering we were a table of 11 and arrived just before closing! It was a really chilled lovely evening. Highly recommend!

Fine tuned and just right - Edit
They've got this place just right. An unfussy menu with albeit familiar dishes but excellent produce, deliciously made and sizeable portions. Beautiful cabin-esque decor with intimate but not isolated seating. Not feeling packed in, the place was full at 6.30 on a Friday and stayed that way. Really excellent service. We adored every course, and even the espressos were good. Too often elsewhere they're burnt. We prefer this iteration of Allotment to its haute cuisine and slightly pretentious fine dining forbear, which was nice, but now all the elements work well for a more relaxed, inexpensive yet thoroughly well produced experience.
Read morePros: Quality of produce and cooking, Decor and atmosphere, Relaxed and inexpensive
Cons: Simple menu

Everything was very well presented and tasty! They have a deal of two small plates and a hot drink for £10 during the day in the week which makes an excellent lunch!

Fantastic birthday meal - Edit
The restaurant itself is a gorgeous design with a relaxing ambience. The staff were really friendly and accommodating.
Read moreWe ordered a sharing board and a couple of starters to try a bit of everything. You could add a bottle of house wine to the sharing board for an additional £8.50 which I would really recommend as the wine was very nice!
The food was beautifully presented and tasted phenomenal. The cauliflower wings and aubergine rolls were so flavoursome! The miso maple mushroom were lovely, never had anything like that before. And the "feta" cheeze was a really nice choice when I know some cheese alternatives can be difficult.
Overall it was amazing and such a fantastic place to come for a birthday meal.

Chilled evening meal - Edit
Found this little gem last minute, and glad we did. The place itself is a great vibe- very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We ordered the platter and a number of small plates. My partners favourite was the cauliflower popcorn and mine was the vegan feta and all the dips for the chunky chips!
Read moreOnly given it 4 as the food was lovely, but wouldn’t rush back. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Definitely worth a visit if you’re passing!
Pros: All vegan, Reasonably priced
Cons: Not much you couldn’t make at home
