Black Leaf in Manchester

I’m gutted to hear that Black Leaf is closing but very happy to hear that they’re relocating! The food we had was part of a midweek deal they had in November. When we arrived, which was quite early, it was so quiet that we were the only ones in the restaurant for a while, which felt weird. This place deserves to be busy all the time!

Fab little restaurant serving delicious, imaginative, and beautifully preparrd small plates. The interior is trendy and intimate, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Literally had the best ,I repeat..the best vegan tapas to date. Oh my Buddah the buffalo cauliflower in the sexy guiness (amongst other very tasty ingredients) was to die for. Yum! If only I saved space for the desert.... Cannot wait to come back! Thankyou so blooming much!!! :D

I was close to 3 stars but the staff were great. Cocktails need attention, I hardly ever send drinks back but I just couldn't drink it. Food is good, I did expect better but I think with a few tweaks and some nicer plates and decor they could do really well. Upstairs was much more inviting, softer lighting, better playlist, more relaxed. Downstairs feels a little lost, like they ran out of money. Hope it grows because I wanted to like it more than I did but I will go back in a month or so and see what they have done to improve. Staff were saving grace.

Amazing vegan, no-waste restaurant. We tried about 8 dishes and wasn't disappointed by one. The new menu is incredible - personal favourites were the Guinness-glazed Cauliflower, the spiced Carrot & Parsnip dish and the 'Beef on toast. The restaurant itself is great too, really nice setting and the staff were all great too. The cocktails ruled too.

The food was unbelievable and perhaps the service was even better! Fantastic night and we'll be back!

So amazing. Just a little small and close tables. But the food and service is amazing 👍

Was a nice evening, great service and food. Venue is a little loud once full.

Unbelievable food - must go on the Manchester scene

This little gem is underneath Alvarium. It's an incredible no-waste-kitchen of seasonal vegan food. We've never had a bad meal here! They have really inventive dishes like vegan scallops and spanakopita. W've been multiple times and always enjoy it!

Very good atmosphere and fantastic food. Never tried vegan food before but I'm in love with it. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try a new taste

Very good roast x very nice drinks x
