Vertigo: Plant Based Eatery in Manchester

Average. Ok for lunchtime. I had the jackfruit and black bean chillie which had the heat but not the depth of flavour. Not much more I can say about the place. It was ok.

Sunday lunch with family, me the only vegan but all really impressed with the food. Due to covid not really eaten out at all during Covid. But an overnight stay in Manchester changed that. As not eaten meat for over 45 years (and 10 yrs vegan) I don't do 'fake' meat as a rule but here there was a good mixture of choices. Two went for the seitan kebab and one for the burger. I went for the cauliflower 'starter'. So tasty, well cooked and enough for a light lunch. Staff were fantastic, really friendly and efficient. The Sauvignon Blanc was worth the extra. Have to say we did struggle a tad to find Vertigo as GPS playing up - if coming from Oxford Road direction turn left after Wood. Well worth finding.

Visited on a Sunday with a friend and it was quite quiet. The interior is gorgeous and feels really relaxed. There were soo many appealing options on the menu. I went for a vegan tortilla bowl with jackfruit and black bean chilli, tofu scramble, smashed avocado and other bits. It was amazing! My friend had the mushrooms gnocchi and really enjoyed it too. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely return 😊

Food & drink quality, fabulous as it always is. It did however feel like they were struggling to cope, maybe it’s a staff shortage or new staff not up to speed yet? Shame, as the service previously has always been good.

We went in to order a take away, but we’re ignored by the staff member who skipped us and went to the next person in the cue. There was no explanation given. Therefore we left without any food. We were shocked into silence by the behaviour.

Visited today and we had very slow service, bad coffee and tasteless food. Would not recommend at all.

I decided to try Vertigo as I've heard some really good things about it. I also thought it would be a perfect place to take my partner who is lactose intolerant. The menu was well thought out and had many appealing choices. I decided to go for the avocado toast with sun-dried tomatoes. My partner on the other hand opted for the lunch deal of a soup and sandwich for £5.00. The food was really good, full of flavour and tasted really fresh. The only downside was the service as it was really slow even though the establishment at the time was quiet. I would return however, potentially if any vegan friends decide to visit.

Stumbled across this place for breakfast. We both really enjoyed the breakfast bagels and I would highly recommend. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The rest of the menu looked lovely and we hope to visit again soon. I also took some cake home to sample and it was delicious.

Came for my wife's birthday 1st thing I will say as my wife is vegan and I'm not the food was amazing and any meat eater who thinks vegan food is not tasty should try the burger and brownie from here. Food for me was a 5 star The reason I gave this 3 stars was the waiter who served us was one of the worse service I've had at a restaurant. Seem to us he wasn't happy to be working here threw plates down at us took glasses away when finished and never asked do you want another drink and also seemed very rushed in and out in under an hour on 3 course meal. Will put us off returning again even though food was so tasty. Big thank you to the chef though shame front of house lef them down

Great menu, excellent food, first class service. Don’t be put off by the small location and basic decor, this is outstanding value for money and really very very good.

Excellent food that was fresh, tasty and looked gorgeous. Smoothies were great and the staff recommendations were outstanding. The place is based on a quiet street so we could enjoy the sun outside. The design of the restaurant is pretty, service was awesome and everything was appropriately priced. Would definitely come back!

The food was great - super fresh, had a homemade feel/taste to it, and was beautifully presented. Smoothies are also amazing. The chips were praised as the “best chips ever had”, and I loved the chilli and the Mac and ‘cheese’ The ice cream/brownie desert was spot on! Seriously the ice cream was just delicious. Loved what we ate and would definitely like to try the other options.

Food great as always - service not so today! Usually love Vertigo & the member of staff who initially attended to us was friendly and courteous, as has always been our experience at Vertigo. This staff member then went on a break and was replaced by a very angry & aggressive member of staff! Brunch/Lunch completely spoilt for whatever reason we will never know!

I went to Vertigo as a belated birthday surprise once restaurants had opened for outdoor dining. We sat in the heated marquee and had the “2 courses & a drink for £20” brunch menu and it was quite simply amazing vegan food. It was my first time eating at Vertigo and I was really impressed with the service and particularly the food. I had the Cheezeburger & Fries followed by the Crème Brulee all washed down with a glass of prosecco – absolutely delicious! My (otherwise meat-eating!) other half had the Full Breakfast followed by the Lotus Pancake Stack and also really enjoyed the food. We can’t wait to go back for the Sunday lunch menu… keep up the good work – it’s brilliant having a quality vegan offering with so much choice.

Manchester weather could not dampen our yummyliscious plant based dinner at the marquee at Vertigo. ( out door heaters) The staff were super accommodating and a little quirky with it. A deelish 3 course meal with an uncomplicated non overbearing menu to choose from...I struggle with too many options though will be coming back to try the rest of the menu...my burger tasted like meat but better (a lot of places don’t) I actually like the taste of meat but like the animals more so this helped satisfy this . Excellent Seitan for the Kebab though I would’ve like a bit more of a fruity sauce with this. Just saying .They also put a candle in my friends desert and the restaurant sang Happy Birthday. An all round lovely experience. I’ll be back!!!! Xxxx

Me and a friend came in for a 3 course dinner, both ordering different dishes for each and everything was incredible. Our waiter was also lovely and super helpful with recommendations, especially appreciated as I’m gluten free and eating out can be awkward. Not usually...

We had a wonderful afternoon tea here. The spread was eclectic, delicious and just the right quantity. The presentation was beautiful and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. What a great place. It was our first time here and we can’t wait to...

Ate here pre-Lockdown. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, amazing food and friendly professional staff. The Seitan Bau buns and cherry brownie with ice cream are something I will never forget. Hope to visit again in the near future.

One of the best meals I've had out in Manchester in a long time. The service was great and the food even better. Would recommend to anyone, vegan or not!

Really friendly staff. The food was great quality and very tasty. You do need to like chilli heat though. Keep it up!

Honestly the loveliest breakfast I’ve had for a long time. A hidden gem of a plant based restaurant. Staff couldn’t be more welcoming, helpful and accommodating.

So disappointing. Came here for bunch only to be told they didn’t have have any tofu, mushrooms or sausage. We were able to get the vertigo benedict but the next person after us was told they were then sold out of that as well. We...

Stumbled on this place on a dreary Manchester morning, initial draw was the name (!), future draw will be the food, full breakfast and crushed avocado on sourdough, both excellent, really nice decor, friendly helpful staff, looking forward to visiting again, and trying lunchtime &...

Came here on Sat night with friends. It a small restaurant with lots of appeal. Service was really friendly, drinks were nice and the food even nicer!! Came here on Sat night with friends. It a small restaurant with lots of appeal. Service was really...

We found this place by accident when visiting HOME cinema and what a find is was! The food is amazing, well cooked and flavourful. We had the cooked breakfasts and could have easily had seconds if we weren't so full We went back for cake...

Nice bright clean looking restaurant which also does take away food. Booked a table in advance for lunch with a friend as not a massive amount of seating. Staff were friendly and helpful and knowledgable about the menu. (Note that the menu that was on...

My meal was fantastic with lots of options on the menu. The atmosphere was great and I loved the decor in the restaurant.

I'm not vegan but my best friend is, so I booked a table for her Christmas present. The restaurant is lovely - very relaxed atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. We both had red lentil and peanut butter Dahl and shared a plate of buffalo...

Really good food and friendly service, would recommend to anyone whether they’re plant-based or not!!

Lovely evening again. Glad there are now two! Fantastic cake and great for a catch up as the layout isn't overcrowded. Will be back!

Went in for an early pre-gig cuppa. Staff were brilliant. Really helpful and friendly and the fresh teas were fabulous. So much so we went back in after the gig. Highly recommended

Excellent late lunch. Peanut butter and sweet potato dhal was delicious. The ambience is relaxed with chilled sounds

This is the second vertigo to open in Manchester and is every bit as good as the cross street one, with the added bonus of being able to order sweet potato fries. Good service, nice place to relax and very nice food.

Decided to eat here as my partner works very close by and we were going to The Lowry Theatre. We didn’t realise until reading the menu they do an offer 5-7pm £15 per person for small plate, large plate and a drink. We opted to...

We ate here earlier today and it was a very pleasant experience. Very laid back (in the best kind of way) chilled vibe with great energy from the guys working there. It's got a really nice feel about it. And it's all kinds of good....
