Best Vegan Restaurants in Cowpe Brook

"It started as a very niche Oldham St record shop with a vegan cafe on the b-side. Now four years since a move to Edge Street, V Rev has fully established itself as the go-to for your day-glo, towering vegan junk food fix. Think Almost Famous without the cows, or the bacon, or the cheese… Fun burger names like ‘Whopper Way To Make A Living’ and ‘Donut Have A Cow, Man’ give you an inkling of what’s involved, but they also do burritos, brunch and seitan chicken wings."

"V Rev is one of the longest standing vegan restaurants in Manchester and the best of the best when it comes to dirty fat greasy amazingness. Always packed, always bustling (do make a reservation), the decor at V Rev Vegan Diner is great and the menu even better. I tucked into a fried doughnut burger (oh yes!), some mac n’ cheese, and mozzarella sticks, and I left a burp-y happy camper."

"Changing perceptions of what a vegan meal can be, V-Rev is an American-style diner that looks like it’s come right out of a 1950s teen film. The burgers drip all manner of tangy sauces over your fingers, the fries are loaded, the dogs are hot, the mac is (vegan) cheesy and the sandwiches are stacked with goodies. It’s dirty food, but not as you know it."

"The stylish curved steel structure of Salford Quays was completed in 2000, following on from plans drafted in 1988 to regenerate the derelict Manchester docks area. The centre is now a cultural hub of theatre and gallery space, with a few restaurants…"

"If you’re looking to convert a meat-loving mate to the vegan lifestyle, take them to The Allotment. Originally located in Stockport, this award-winning venue now sits in Manchester’s city centre and proves just how good vegan food can be. Browse the à la carte menu, and you’ll find ‘fish’ and chips or rhubarb and lentil stew, or pop by on a Sunday for the delicious vegetarian roast."

"As one of the most popular vegan-friendly restaurants in Manchester, The Allotment has got to be on our list of places to eat. Head here and you'll be treated to roasted butternut squash, cauliflower wings and jackfruit tacos washed down with watermelon beers and chai lattes."

"With a combination of delicious food, great wines and a real ambience, Café Rouge has embodied the style and je ne sais quoi of French dining since it opened way back in 1989. Now with over 90 sites across the country it's just the place to mull over…"

"Zad’s is a fast-food restaurant that offers the finest and most sumptuous vegan pizza that you can ever try and taste. Established in 2017, this 100% vegan shop is considered a game-changer when it comes to the industry of fast-food restaurants as they highly prioritize healthy diet and ethical sourcing of the food that they serve in their menu. Whether you are looking for a gluten-free base, stuffed crust or thin crust, they have the right flavour of pizza that would surely tempt your palate."

"Sometimes there’s nothing you want more than a takeaway, but they can be a tricky dining option for vegans. That’s where ZAD’S comes in. Based in the southern suburb of Chorlton, its speciality is vegan pizzas, which even come in a stuffed crust option."

"Serving a fully plant-based menu of pizzas, burgers and hot dogs, Zad’s vegan takeaway is currently operating deliveries from its Chorlton site. Orders available via Deliveroo and Just Eat."

"It may not look like much from the outside, but inside two Victorian villas on Nelson Street you’ll find The Pankhurst Centre – a heritage site of women’s activism. Once the home of local Manchester political campaigner and icon Emmeline Pankhurst, who lived at 62 Nelson Street from 1898 to 1907, it’s here that the very first meeting of the suffragette movement took place. Cut to the present day and visitors can now drop by to explore the story of women securing the right to vote."

"An unassuming little house on Nelson Street, this spot was the birthplace of the Suffragette movement. The home of inspirational leader Emmeline Pankhurst, the first Women’s Social and Political Union meeting was held here in 1903. Nowadays, the place has been converted into a museum detailing the battle for women’s equality in Britain and celebrating its great former occupant."

"Birthplace of the suffragette movement in 1903, the Pankhurst Centre is an excellent place to learn about the fight for women’s right to vote. There are people who guide you through the house to help you learn about the history. The museum is open to the public from 10-4pm on Thursdays, and on the second and fourth Sunday of the month."

"Part of the University of Manchester, The Whitworth acts as a bridge between the university and the people of the city by providing a space to meet, play and learn. The gallery has been named Best Emerging Cultural Destination in Europe and includes gallery spaces, a study centre, learning studio and collections centre."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."
