Lovely Cafe - Edit
Visited in search of a place to grab a coffee and a light bite, the service was great and the mocha was tasting good and super filling . I also got a cherry brownie which was really lovely.
Read moreOnly downside is the food being quite expensive, and not many options, but the great service makes up for it.

Cracking cafe - Edit
Cosy little cafe to curl up with a hot drink and a cake on a cold day. Red velvet lattes (no espresso) are really comforting and the cakes, whilst a tad pricey, are to die for.
Read morePros: Fully vegan cafe, Lots of options, including daily specials , Food is very tasty and filling
Cons: Cakes are on the expensive side

Delicious PANCAKES - Edit
Got the Lotus pancakes, melon fresher smoothie and a cappuccino.
Read moreThe pancakes were amazing, soft, bouncy, perfectly cooked paired with the tastiest vanilla ice cream. I thought that the lotus pancakes was an interesting concept, in my mind I was thinking of the lotus flower, I didn't realise is was lotus as in the biscuit Lotus Biscoff lol.
Delicious nonetheless. Very rich, generous portions, wished I had a bigger stomach.
Melon refresher was great, it was either the Sugar Kiss Melon or Charentais Melon....or some other red/ orange fleshed melon that they used. It overpowered the strawberry and mango that was in the smoothie - it's great if you like that melon flavour.
Cappuccino was good :)
Loved the restaurant, lovely colours and decor.

Really good meal, just lacking a certain something to give it the full five stars. The menus online slightly differ from what's currently available in the restaurant. Highly recommended though!

Cosy cafe with brilliant food - Edit
This was a gorgeous find on our trip to Manchester.
Read moreVery small, cosy, and intimate. Staff were very friendly and service was quick and attentive.
Ordered the burger which was phenomenal! My omni partner said it was the best burger he has ever had.
Chef brought out additional chips for us as "you never get enough in those pots. "
We didn't stay for desert as we had a show booked, but the staff gave us a piece of cake as a gift to takeaway and it was beautiful.
Highly recommend this place!

Lovely place for lunch - Edit
I had the Benedict, which I was glad was being served in the afternoon, as it was from the breakfast menu. Absolutely delicious! The loose leaf tea was also very pleasant. I would absolutely visit Vertigo again, and I like that it is entirely vegan.

Centre city all vegan café - Edit
Really handy location for a totally plant-based menu - just round the corner from the Arndale Centre. Good choice of items for lunch from soup and sandwiches to full meals. I had the peanut butter and sweet potato dhaal with spinach and served with brown rice and raita. The waiter came round and gave us complimentary tap water when we ordered which was a nice touch and most welcome.

Very good food - Edit
Went for breakfast and had the full breakfast, was really delicious and filling. All fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. Went back in the afternoon for some cakes and they were equally as delicious. Service was a tiny bit slow but didn't really affect the whole experience. Only drawback is it's a tiny little bit pricey

Great taste, price and people - Edit
I went with my (non vegan) boyfriend and we were both so impressed. He had the ‘duck’ Bao Bun which he LOVED (and said it tasted just like meat). I had the mixed salad bowl (pastas and roasted veggies) and the burger which was amazing. I had to go back to get some of their amazing brownies before I went home. The service is simply amazing. The people there were so friendly and we got our food so fast!
Read morePros: Entire menu is vegan , So cheap (and big portions), Service is so friendly and fast
