Great vegan food is becoming ever easier to find in the UK, and Manchester is at the forefront. On a recent weekend trip we ate a delicious evening meal at Ning, a Malaysian restaurant in the Northern Quarter (a menu that specifies vegan options and has great cocktails? Count us in) and visited V Revolution not once, but twice.
In all honesty, this place was the main reason for our trip to Manchester in the first place. Part-food store, part-record shop and punk hangout, part-American diner-style eatery, V Revolution is all-awesome. From the cute booths to the good value menu, it makes a great place to hang out and have a quick bite to eat.
Deliberately focusing on vegan versions of junk food - from hot dogs to 'chicken' burgers to ice cream floats - V Revolution reminds me of the many vegan fast food joints in Berlin. The menu is restricted to burgers, hot dogs and grilled sandwiches, but there's plentiful choice within those categories and the prices are extremely reasonable. My tasty and filling Chicken Royale burger (served with a side of tortilla chips and piled high with lettuce, cheese and mayo) was only £4, which is excellent value for the quality of the food. Next time you find yourself in Manchester, do take a walk to the far end of Oldham Street to check out V Revolution: you won't regret making the journey.
Have you heard of/been to the co-operative vegan grocery in Manchester? http://www.unicorn-grocery.coop/index.php
ReplyDeleteYes, although I found out about it just after our visit to Manchester - doh! Looks pretty cool.
DeleteWill have to visit next time I'm in Manchester. There used to be a similar place here in Notts when I first moved here (can't remember what it was called now but it was basically a veggie fast food joint selling burgers/fries) but it sadly went out of business, so this place looks great!
ReplyDeleteVegan fast food is basically Thomas's favourite thing ever - we still need to come to Nottingham to check out the vegan pizza at Das Kino.
