Crunchy!

A little pub in the middle of Manly seaside decked out just like a Cornish ship in the 16th century! Yummy vegan faux Jamaican crispy chick’n salad and excellent fries. Friendly service and vibes. #Veganuary

Better than cheese burger

I had the Sailboat (Basic Cheese Burger- cheese, mustard,ketchup and onion) but Oh Boy it was so delicious. The burger patty was very well made, it even had that smokey charcoal taste. Most of the burgers on the menu has a plant based version. I will be back to try the other mock meat(chicken schnitzel, southern fried chicken, beef brisket see if they are just as sophisticated as the mock beef patty I had.

Pros: Plant based version for most of the menu, Located in the heart on Manly

Wow

They have a vegan option for all their burgers and salads. And it isn’t a crappy chicken or beef substitute, it tastes better than the real thing!

Pros: Best burgers I’ve ever had

Cons: None

Fun, tasty, many options - worth 5 stars

Loved the sandwiches! Good popcorn chicken as well, but the burgers definitely have more interesting flavors and textures, especially the Spanish chicken. Fun space, good service.

Awesome vegan options!

We stopped here for dinner yesterday and it was pretty nice out, so we sat outside. We ordered with the QR code at the table, the vegan menu was easy to find and everything looked delicious. We got the vegan flagship burger, the vegan nueva Espana (chicken sandwich), and sweet potato fries with some sort of delicious vegan chipotle aioli. The food was so good, and we were in and out of there quick so we could carry on with our day. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area

Pros: Delicious vegan options

Vegan Burger at the Hold

I was very impressed with the extensive vegan menu at the Hold which was easy to read but hard to choose! I love when a restaurant can cater to everyones different tastes, I got the seoul survivor burger to see what was on it and what I though take a look at my blog post https://cookingwithyoshiko.com/vegan-burger-at-the-hold-manly/

Good burger joint with atmosphere, dog friendly

Very good burger joint in Manly. Great character inside, with considerable effort having gone into its old world nautical/theme. Big bar with a full range of wine, beer and spirits. Some local offerings on the drinks menu, and they do pints and larger.

Serves meat and plant based versions of everything on the menu which is quite extensive.

Gluten free options available as well.

Council car park located 50m away.

Dog friendly. We booked a table outside and were able to have our dog with us. Dog water bowls available at the outside tables. This meant we could walk off dinner with the dog.

Found cauliflower popcorn a bit oily, individual pieces were small so lots of surface area.

Pros: Good atmosphere, Dog friendly outside, Parking nearby

Fantastic

Burgers and cocktails in a restaurant/bar decorated like you're in the hold of an old timber ship - it just works! Every burger on the menu can be made vegan, down to replacing the beef party, pulled pork, bacon rashers and cheese with vegan tasting and looking equivalents and doing so successfully. Nice staff, too.

Best Vegan Burgers Ever

Need I say more? They can turn every burger into a vegan option. They cater easily for gluten intolerance too. Try their cauliflower side in stead of fries for a treat. It's a struggle to want to explore other restaurants when I visit Manly as I know I'll never be disappointed with The Hold. 4 star as I cannot put 5 stars unless the company is fully vegan.

Pros: Everything can be made vegan, Great GF options, Good beer options

Cons: Wait time on take aways

An awesome selection of vegan burgers and vegan cheeses. With two menus there is a fully vegan equivalent of all meal options. The team at the Hold is always super friendly and welcoming!

Pros: Full vegan menu available , 25% off vegan menu options on Thursdays , Tasty analog (fake) meat & vegan cheeses

Definitely Glad We Came Here

Glad we found this on Happy Cow, as there were a ton of options. We went for the Chicken Sandwich (burger) and the mock chicken was dead on. Totally solid. The mac and cheese was decent, it ate more like the boxed kind but when you need mac and cheese, you need mac and cheese. The service was outstanding as well.

Love this place!!

Everything on the menu had a meat and plant based option!!! So when you order a burger, they ask if you'd like the meat or vegan option. Tasty as heck too.

Eaten here twice and have tried their Flagship and Nueva Espana burgers. Both were amazing!

Looking forward to trying more from their menu.

Pros: They have a separate vegan menu
