Otto Vegan Empire in Stockport

First time visiting this place. We loved everything about it. The food was flavourful and portion sizes were very good. Staff were attentive and catered to our needs. The only downside, although not through fault of the restaurant, was that we were the only table in there at 7pm, so it was very quiet. Overall a brilliant experience. Will be returning.

Otto is one of my favourite places to eat, the food is incredible. Today was the first time we've tried the Sunday roast and it was delicious! So much flavour and variety and what a treat to have vegan yorkshire puddings! Excellent service as always, thank you!!

The most amazing Sunday Roast I have tried. Well worth a visit.

The food was superb, but the service was a bit slow the waitress was extremely busy on her own.

Stopped in for lunch. Huge kebab, full of goodness and flavour. Wish I was a bit closer!

One of the best flavours I have had in England and i am super picky about my food. lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come back. There was so much selection!

We have had takeaway and eaten in and both times the food was amazing. Really friendly attentive service, relaxing feel and every dish we've tried tasted amazing.

Had Otto-men deliveries during the Pandemic - absolute lifesaver - but this was our first time at the restaurant. Lovely ambience and great decor, and utterly delicious food. We had 3 small plates to share, 2 main courses, a salad and desserts, everything felt very fresh and 'clean', delivered by two pleasant staff. Good wine list from around Europe at reasonable prices. Lovely flavours and ingredients, and so great to know the whole place is vegan - nothing here is pretending to be meat, which is a welcome change in vegan restaurants these days. Will definitely come back for the Vimto cocktail and to sample the rest of the menu.

Another great vegan place almost exactly halfway between London and Dumbarton. Delicious Middle Eastern food, served in a loft full of character, by friendly, knowledgeable staff. We loved every dish we tried

The food was amazing. Such a variety of meze and we had lots of small plates. The staff were very helpful. Nice ambience too. We are not vegan but thought everything was absolutely delicious.

My friend and I came here for lunch, the service was friendly and professional. The food was amazing, really tasty and lots of flavour. Will definitely come back.

Went here for lunch today while visiting a friend and the food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Meze platter and 4 starters alongside an additional bread board at the suggestion of the waiter. There was the perfect amount of food for lunch. The waiter was polite and although we were only one of two tables eating, the decor and atmosphere was lovely. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful food, lovely decor and super friendly staff. Loads of gluten-free options and staff are very knowledgeable with allergies. Food is reasonably priced, although the drinks are a little expensive. I will definitely be returning.

Brilliant meal and staff really helpful our first time at a vegan restaurant we will definitely be back all the dishes were presented really well and tasted delicious 😋

Excellent tasty food. Lovely presentation. Helpful staff. Don't know why it wasn't busier. We enjoyed a meze at the start then had our own main courses. I think I will be back

Fully deserving of all the other 5 star reviews. The food was amazing, really great flavour. Quick service, nice atmosphere. I couldn't fault it and will definitely be back.

Delicious food, great service, cute vibe, what a hidden gem!

My son and I were absolutely blown away by just how delicious our lunch was today. The sauce in the kofta dish was to die for ! I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and if you usually shy away from vegan food then give it a go, you will be pleasantly surprised. An excellent range of desserts too and the service was friendly 🤗

I'm not even Vegan but cannot deny the food here is top tier! The 'insane to wrap' is incredible!

Wow this place is sensational and I’m not vegan or vegetarian. I went with friends who love it and had fabulous food, fantastic wine and an all round superb experience. If you like Middle Eastern food the starters and mezze are very much classics done to a high standard. The mains are great and I can personally recommend the Kofta (first picture) which had I not known otherwise wouldn’t have thought it was vegetarian. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. My partner and I visited on a Sunday evening. We had a three course meal which altogether came to £75 including a tip. The food was absolutely delicious, the Daal was especially tasty, as was the Meze sharer to start. The portions aren’t huge but I almost preferred that as we weren’t overfaced and could just about finish the full three courses between us. The atmosphere and the decor of the restaurant was really nice as well. I especially loved the toilets. The staff were really attentive. Overall I really enjoyable meal. I’d definitely recommend visiting.

Delighted to find this middle eastern style vegan restaurant in Bramhall. A great range of distinctive tastes carefully blended in each dish. We had the veg qurma and insane wrap. The staff were friendly and helpful. The upstairs room has a view of the street without the noise and fumes of constant traffic

Otto provided the venue for my wife’s 40th surprise birthday celebration. They catered for around 40 people and the food tasted as good as it looked. The staff were incredibly helpful and the whole team was really responsive from the initial enquiry until the day. Great venue for family celebration A lot of non vegan guests plan to visit again, and I am sure we will be back soon Thanks Otto’s

Wonderful service, the baba ganoush is to die for!

What a delightful little place, food was spot on we had the Sunday roast definitely recommend, ended up having one scoop of ice cream did intend to have more dessert but the roast was so filling. We are definitely coming again

Wending our way back from an anniversary weekend in The Lakes we had pre booked an early slot at this recommended vegan restaurant; sold, if nothing else, on the extremely promising Yorkshire puddings adorning their “Sunday Roast”. (Though we’ve tried many an attempt nothing has got anywhere near a light fluffy egg based Yorkie). The restaurant itself is warm and inviting with an eclectic mix of photos adorning the walls, a hash up of different clothed tables and cushioned bentwood chairs alongside painted wood furniture and a moorish dresser (with wine bottles stored in a towering terracotta honeycomb). Topped by a ceiling of raw wood planks with an opening to the colourful painted eaves. The menu is an extensive array of Middle Eastern/levantine inspired dishes that sounded fantastic and hugely tempting but as we had targeted a swift vegan Sunday roast and we’d only hours earlier had an excellent plant based breakfast we stuck to our guns. (Though we may organise a return visit via our Manchester-based daughter to try a more diverse meal in the near future.) Ben, who looked after us, was excellent. As we booked a table when they first opened there was no-one else there when we entered but another couple soon followed and then it began filling as we finished. I’m sure if it was buzzing the atmosphere would be as warm and enveloping as the food on the menu. The Sunday roast comprised, on our visit, a generous slab of nut roast, mashed sweet potato, roasted carrots and parsnip, seared hispi/sweetheart cabbage, roasted potatoes, perfectly cooked broccoli and the aforementioned (large) Yorkshire pudding then topped with lashings of great tasting gravy. The portions were generous and the quality of all the components great. I thought it was also stunning value in these testing times. As we had several hours of driving ahead of us we avoided any sleep inducing drinks and settled instead for a large pot of Otto double mint tea. MrsC and I both polished off our plates to the extent that we may have endangered the washing up staff’s future employ and voted the vegan Yorkshire the best we’d had. Slightly embarrassed by the speed we both got through the food but hopefully it was seen as a compliment! In summary this is by far the best vegan “roast” we’ve had and has to be heartily recommended and was sufficient a pull to make us want to make sure we came back to try a wider selection of the main menu. Cracking place. Hoping Otto gets to extend the tendrils of his vegan empire towards the East Midlands 🤞 Top spot

Delicious food, particularly the small plates Signed A Carnivore

Absolutely amazing food! I have genuinely never tasted food as good as this, the flavours are soooooo good! Wondeful service too, they're fast, friendly and very welcoming. Awesome place!

I was in this super restaurant with my Dad last night (I'm vegetarian, he's not!) and we had a fantastic meal. It was so hard to choose because it all looked so enticing. Every dish was delicious and we had a fantastic meal at a reasonable price in a lovely atmosphere with good service. It's the best restaurant I've been to in years.

As a vegan visiting Manchester for a few days decided to try ottos not at all disappointed with food or service

Went here last night with my non-vegan partner and we both loved it. The food was unreal! I've been vegan for a long time and this was easily one of the best meals I've ever had. I'm not used to having so much chioce on a menu but we decided on 2 sharing plates, 2 mains and a rice. All were delicious and we didnt want the food to end. My partner absolutely loved it too and couldn't believe how good it was. Highly recommend!

The most incredible restaurant ever. The food was the tastiest thing ever, service was perfect, prices were reasonable considering the quality and portion size. Exquisite healthy food that does not compromise on quality, everything seemed handmade - place was also very cute and cosy and even their soap smells extraordinary. A dinner/lunch to remember!!

We’d nearly gone a few times to Otto’s but never got round to it. We finally went as a couple just on the off chance looking for something local. Cozy atmosphere and really friendly staff serving up a genuinely remarkable menu. The cheese curd was amazing, quite the highlight of the mezze starter, had you blind taste tested us I’d not have known it was vegan. I’d recommend having a main with a salad or additional dish as the portions aren’t huge but they are full of flavour, the kofta (more meatball than expected) were brilliant, again I could serve those and no one would know it was veggie. Would and will readily go back to try some of the dishes we were tempted by

Lovely restaurant, gorgeous food. Lots of stairs up to the entrance. Not sure if there's any other access.

Wonderful restaurant, wonderful food. Lovely service and atmosphere. We really enjoyed our evening. I would like to see authentic Moroccan mint tea recipe served here as opposed to plain dried mint tea. You could even add rose petal or saffron as an extra twist. Served in Moroccan style tea pot. Menu could do with changing every now and again and more dessert choices.

Lovely food, my only gripe was the young lady serving us seemed stressed as she seemed to be alone, which made her a little flat serving. Food was delicious though so all good, we all have off nights

Absolutely amazing place to come for authentic and delicious vegan food. The mezzo board was amazing and big enough for two to share. The main meals were well portioned and delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone. Our server was super friendly and helped us pick some amazing dishes that we loved. The place itself is cozy and lovely. Thank you for an amazing time!

Fabulous food. OMG the gravy was stunning.

Great food and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Three of us went here for Sunday lunch. Food was lovely. Was great to have Yorkshire Pudding, gravy and some nice roasted veg. Been here a few times, in the evening mainly and it never disappoints.

Came here with my boyfriend the other week for tea. Had the £40 deal which was exceptional value. All the food and the wine was delicious. Couldn’t finish it so took the rest home for my lunch the next day. Fantastic place

Amazing food and great decor, plus the atmosphere and guys who work there are lovely.

Thursday night visit so quiet but not entirely empty and very welcoming. Qurma was gorgeous with khoubza but even better with the badass badadas!

What an amazing place, recommended to us and it did not disappoint. Lovely warm welcome. Excellent food - the vegan Sunday roast was amazing, a vegan yorkshire pudding! The sauce on the broccoli was gorgeous, the way the carrots were cooked was another delight. It was so good - no need to call it vegan food, it's just food everyone can eat and enjoy.

Not ashamed to admit we’ve become regulars at Otto! The food is delicious and there’s always space no matter when we go. We particularly enjoy the vegan Sunday lunch (best vegan Yorkshires I’ve had) and the Supangle is a real treat. Thoroughly recommend!

Do it, go, don't hesitate! Visited Otto Vegan Empire this weekend and it did not disappoint. Food was exquisite. Very flavoursome and a delight on the tastebuds. I always love to find a place which offers me new flavours and this place did. The atmosphere was very cosy and thought our meal was excellent value for money for the 5 of us. Will be visiting again!

Really lovely place with an amazing roast. Possibly the best I've had. Unfortunately I couldn't have the nut roast aspect due to allergies but they were very accommodating and was offered the roast without it. Decor and service are also amazing. We'll definitely be back to try everything else

Wow - lives in Bramhall for 16 years - beat meal we have had

Delicious vegan food. All the food is subtle, layered flavours

Amazing Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding at Otto Vegan Empire. Highly recommended 😋

there were 2 vegans in our party of 4, and we all had the vegan sunday dinner, which was superb! would deffo go again and I'm not vegan!- a great place!

I’m only adding to the gushing praise this place has received. Fantastic Sunday lunch with delicious gravy, tasty nut roast and a huge portion of assorted vegetables.

Lovely place, love the decor. So much to choose from on the menu, I'm not good when there is so much choice. The young lady that was serving us was lovely. She was very helpful and recommended a few dishes to us, which was very appreciated as they were so tasty. I enjoyed every bite. The pudding was out of this world. Good prices as well. I will definitely go back again and recommended.

Otto's is a hidden gem. Lovely, cost ambiance, friendly staff and the food is obviously banging. A rich, filling and varied Middle Eastern spread. Top, top top

Absolutely fantastic in everyway. Service impeccable and waitress very knowledge on the ingredients in the dishes. Had starters and mains and loved everything. Can't wait to go back.

Went with a vegan who seemed very happy ,was quiet when we went

Unreal vegan food!! The Sunday roast is highly recommended.

Fantastic place, the food is unbelievable. The badass (or whatever they are called 😀😀) are just unreal, highly recommend to give it a try.

This divine vegan place deserves to be far busier than it is, even on a Sunday evening when it shuts slightly earlier. The food is certainly 'Yottam Ottolenghi standard' with complex balanced flavours that dance on the palette and is replete with aroma, colour and texture served with style. The menu was charming in it's use of short stories to create a picture to frame some of the dishes...we loved it! The menu options were also very innovative with rarities like Manakish, Frickle, Black creamy Hummus and Sinconta Mezzes all contributing to a fantastic meal at a very reasonable price. Kofta, Qurma, Sexy Pie and a very generous Vegan roast were all firm favourites as main courses. Not a mouthfull was wasted! Atmosphere couldn't quite justify 5* as it felt more like a bespoke private dining experience as it was quiet. Our friendly waitress wasn't excessively attentive but gave excellent recommednations when asked. The tip we left was a reflection of that. Only one of us was vegan, but this food was very satisfying even to meat--loving flexitarians.

What a find. Neither of us are vegan, but we were intrigued by all the 5* reviews. Food was simply excellent, I'm still salivating thinking about it. My steak loving partner swallowed his pride to say it's his new favourite place. What an achievement! We can't wait to visit again. I just hope this restaurant gets the hype it deserves.

What a little gem in Bramhall village. All the dishes we tried were great. Will definitely be back.

Excellent afternoon top notch food

If you are a vegan then this is definitely the place to be. We are not but this places food is fantastic as are the staff. We went on a Saturday night so booking is a must Highly recommend.

Excellent vegan restaurant. Great service and unique food options.

Recently left a 1 start review due to issues with communications and booking. Ottos did get in touch with me and were EXTREMELY apologetic and so I agreed to 'give them another chance' . We went a few days ago. The food was excellent (neither of us are vegetarian or vegan). The service was also excellent and when we got the bill, they had knocked off the price of the bottle of wine due to the booking issues we had. A great example of good customer service turning a bad experience to a good one - well done !

All round amazing place for dinner

Wow!! Just wow!! Such a fabulous gem of a restaurant! Sampled the Mezze menu and couldn’t stop eating! Had more food than we could handle too! Each dish prepared with love and very very tasty, would highly recommend! Friendly staff and lovely setting!

Great vegan food. The tastes are amazing (from a none vegan). The staff are really friendly. Great prices. Access via the crown and conspirator on the main road. Cosy atmosphere. I cannot recommend this place enough, don't think twice

I am not vegan but really enjoyed my main course followed by icecream. We had a really lovely waitress.

We loved Otto, having looked for a place to eat after a day out. We ordered a Mezze board, Sunday Roast and some sides. The food was lovely and the restaurant was so quiet and the decoration was really nice. Would 100% recommend.

we have been to Otto's a few times, food is always of a really high standard. Our favourite dishes are the Badadas potatoes and the insane to wrap. Favourite dessert has to be the Supangle!

One of out favorite places to eat vegan . Food is fantastic as was the service.

Lovely cosy atmosphere, staff are always kind and smiling and the food is incredible! I would absolutely recommend, been here when it first opened and have been many times since. The only downside is lack of parking, which is not the restaurants fault 😊

Food heaven. Absolutely INSANE flavours, every dish we have here is divine. So much love and research has gone into each dish. I'll be going back over and over again. The whole team are a delight. Wonderful vegan food and plant based dishes. The vegan Sunday roast was fantastic too. Will continue to come back here!

The best vegan food around for miles ! Jess is lovely, took the time to explain any dish I didn't understand. 100% recommended

Best Vegan Restaurant, I have been to amazing g variety of tasty dishes that non vegans so enjoy.

Lovely, intimate, vegan restaurant in a cute space above the Crown and Conspirator pub. You get to it by going through the pub. There are signs. Best to book in advance ideally as it's pretty small. Incredible food. So imaginative and tasty. I would love it even more if they had a draught lager available, but very happy to recommend and keen to return.

Delicious Tastes, Starters, Sides, Mains - all we tried was very good. Try yourself. Sometimes not all you can order- one man in the kitchen.... But the friendly atmosphere and the good quality of meal makes it excusable. Good luck for a future in Bramhall!

Always an amazing meal. It was lovely to see it so busy. 2 staff members rocked it. Great service, very attentive and all with a smile on their face. This place never fails!

Beautiful and delicious food! Interesting flavours and spices! The waitress was handling all the tables with ease. This is our new favourite restaurant 😍

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough regardless of whether you are vegan or not. Informative waitress service and devine flavours. Makes food exciting!!!

Amazing food, best meal we've had in a very long time. Loved the vibe of the place. Great service.

Lovely restaurant above the Crown and Conspirator pub (hopefully they'll get separate access sorted soon as it's not clear you have to go into the pub to access and it's above it, although the friendly person working in the pub pointed us in the right direction). The food was different and really fresh to most vegan food I've had before and was presented well. We went in between lunch and dinner and it was empty but I can imagine the atmosphere is better when busier. It's decorated well with good crockery. The lady who served us was friendy and helpful in recommending and describing the dishes. Would definitely go back. 😀

The most amazing, delicious food with great service and cosy atmosphere. I want to try everything on the menu.

Jess was amazing: food was amazing as always service was fanatic

Great food, so tasty. Sure even the other half (steak lover) would enjoy it. Only tiny issue was the room itself was cold but we were sat near stairwell

Gorgeous food, so good that would take my steak loving other half. Tasty good size portions and staff explained what everything was, all wines were vegan and they were helpful with a gluten free guest without it being any sort of faff. Certainly going back. Only lost a star on atmosphere as we were a bit cold, but sat near the stairs.

Amazing restaurant, staff and food! A place I will recommend to people who ask the dreaded question... "You're Vegan? What do you eat?"

Absolutely divine food. Every single dish was unusual, unique and just outstanding. We loved the mezze, and the chocolate pudding dessert was the best dessert I can remember. The staff were lovely too with just the right amount of attentiveness. You have to go, it won't disappoint!

Everything was so good! Sunday roast was incredible.

The potatoes were the bomb. Great service, amazing food,will definitely be back 🙌 😀

Food is just fantastic. Easily the beat vegan food I've ever had. The whole family loved it amd we've got a few die-hard meat eaters. Just awesome.

Fantastic food, service, ambience! I love this place

We have been here 3-4 times now and really like it! Staff are friendly and the food is unique and tasty! It’s wonderful having such good vegan food nearby!

Cracking little restaurant with really friendly staff. Also, very refreshing to see such a large selection of plant based meals. The food we had was very tasty. We loved the breads and recommend the meze.

Absolutely amazing! So impressed with the food, the atmosphere and the service! We'll definitely be back :)

Fantastic food, ambience and service. Highly recommend. Insane to Wrap 🥰

Delicious food, lovely staff and decor is beautiful too!

Dead cute restaurant. Great food and service. 5 stars from me.
