The Allotment Vegan Eatery

Award-winning plant-based dining

Modern British / Fine Dining

Regularly cited as one of the very best vegan restaurants in the UK, The Allotment proves that plant-based food can effortlessly command the fine-dining category. Located right in the heart of Manchester's historic Medieval Quarter, stepping inside reveals a lush, gorgeous escape from the concrete jungle, filled with botanical greenery and natural wood finishes.

The culinary philosophy here is incredibly inventive. Rather than simply mimicking meat, the chefs focus entirely on what vegetables can be when treated with top-tier culinary techniques. Expect stunning, highly elevated dishes like salt and pepper tofu laksa, rich king oyster mushroom "scallops," and an absolutely legendary vegan Sunday roast featuring a masterful, deeply savoury cauliflower steak.

Whether you opt for their full tasting menu to experience the absolute peak of their creativity, or drop in for an unforgettable multi-course dinner, The Allotment offers a sophisticated, premium dining experience. It is a wildly popular spot, so booking a table well in advance is highly recommended.
