Hello and welcome to Manchester World. My name is Theo Cusenbets and today we're going to be talking about vegan food.
00:04
Specifically, some of the best places that you can find vegan food here in the city.
00:08
There's a massive range of awesome places who are dedicated to making sure that people with all dietary requirements are well serviced.
00:15
And here are some of the best five that I've been to over the course of my time with Manchester World.
00:20
So starting off with the allotment which can be found just around the corner from Manchester Cathedral.
00:24
And I went here with my Doug Cooper right back when I started this job actually and they do a really, really great afternoon tea option.
00:32
They've got awesome little buffalo bites, great sandwiches and really, really awesome cakes.
00:37
Top quality, some of the best that I've had in Manchester.
00:39
And then we're going to jump up into the northern quarter where you have a bit of a dynamic duo.
00:43
Starting with one of Manchester's most famed vegan restaurants which is of course Wholesome Junkies.
00:49
This is what it looks like inside. A very nice, clean, relaxing environment.
00:52
And some of the best, dirtiest vegan food you will have.
00:56
The burger, the onion rings were absolutely top.
00:58
But my favourite were these mushroom wings which came with a buffalo sauce.
01:03
Honestly, as a non-vegan eater, I've got to say I would happily eat these every day of the week.
01:07
And to be honest, I've had them a good couple of times since.
01:10
But the reason that they're part of a dynamic duo is because just next door is Sicilian NQ.
01:15
One of the best Italian, Sicilian restaurants here in Manchester.
01:18
And one of the widest ranges of vegan foods across the whole city.
01:24
Inside, it's got this brilliant sort of casual dining experience.
01:28
But the vegan menu is so wide ranging.
01:30
The owner, Carmen, is a vegan herself.
01:33
And while they do a great range of non-vegan foods,
01:36
they have an entire menu where they have repurposed everything to make it vegan.
01:39
From pestos to tomato sauces, brilliant pasta and some of the best cannolis that you can have too.
01:46
I really, really, honestly can't recommend this place enough.
01:50
In terms of both casual dining and in being the perfect spot for a little date as well.
01:55
It really is brilliant.
01:56
And I've got to say as well, they were particularly generous with handing out the desserts.
02:01
On to the next place.
02:02
And Nibble NQ is a place that we've talked about quite a lot recently.
02:06
It's a wonderful cafe in the northern quarter that does a great range of foods for all dietary requirements.
02:12
That doesn't just mean vegan, I'm also talking about gluten-free foods as well.
02:16
The highlight was this chocolate beetroot brownie, which, although it sounds a bit weird,
02:21
I can guarantee is absolutely lovely.
02:24
And the amount of care that they put into making sure that every dietary requirement is catered for
02:29
is a real shining example of how things should be here in the city.
02:33
A place where everyone should feel welcome all of the time.
02:36
And finally, Desert Island Dumplings.
02:37
Now, I've put this last, but it is by no means least.
02:40
It's one of the best vegan places in the city.
02:42
And it's only here until the middle of June.
02:44
So please get up to our Flex and give it a try.
02:47
A massive range of awesome deep-fried dumplings with a wide range of weird, wacky flavours.
02:53
Again, can't recommend it enough.
02:55
But that's the full list.
02:56
Let me know if I've missed anything.
02:57
And thank you very much for watching Manchester World.
