This place doesn't exist anymore. I visted and discovered its turned into "TomToms Bar De Tapas". The menu is mostly meat with a few vegetarian offerings, and pricey too. I got the feeling I was a nuisance by asking for a vegan adaptation and they just had to put up with veg*ns who came expecting The Bean Counter to be there. Not recommended.Quote:

I managed to find this place eventually as its now called Café Cilantro. It has slightly different opening times too, which I can't quite remember. It's completely vegetarian and the menu is labelled with what is vegan/vegan option.Quote:

Hello! I'm planning a trip to manchester with my husband (lato-vegi) for a couple of days in june. I was hoping you could reccomend some nice places to eat? Prefrebly quite near the centre as we're staying in a travelodge quite central.
Also has anyone been to greens recently? We want to go somewhere nice as its a special anniversary for us. Otherwise everything else needs to be cheap:)
Anywhere for breakfast too? If not it will be homemade bread and jam.
Thanx for any suggestions!
A reminder of this upcoming event:

Sounds like a fun day out!
I'm going to to go to this. It will be my first visit to a vegan fayre of any type so I am very excited :)
I went to Greens about 6 months ago. I wasn't that impressed really. It was expensive and very noisy; too big so too many people talking all at once. I had the noodle broth which I wasn't keen on but my friends curry was nice. IMO the Greenhouse is much nicer, both the atmosphere and the food. It also has a bigger selection of vegan food.Quote:

You could try the Eighth Day on Oxford road for vegan breakfast.
Thanx for the reply maisepaisey. (hope i spelt that right)
I was begining to come to the same conclusion, I looked at the menu for greens but it didnt wow me, (and for that price I want to be wowed) and seemed a little snooty. The greenhouse has had good reviews so we shall eat there. Thanx for the advice for the breakfast too!
I'll second that...not a good place to go!Quote:

And it looks like it may go out of business as well soon? Although I've not been past for a while.
Haven't been to Cafe Cilantro, may have to try that one sometime next week :)
Is Greens the one in West Didsbury, pretty much next to the big pub?
That's not very descriptive is it?! I think I know which it is...but I've never been, I remember looking at the prices there and being horrified!!
Manchester vegans - where are you?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (echo into the distance) :lol:
After a month of being vegan, I finally met my first Manchester vegan at a friends party - she was a friend of a friend, and we only got a chance to chat for like a minute...):(
There must be more Manchester vegans!!!!!

Apparently, they all live in London now...............
Yeah....sorry about that Chris.
we pop back up now and again though!
Yup, same here. I fell down the M1 to London.
Yeah I'm from Mancland...but live in London now!
I live in Bolton. It's about 20 minutes away from Manchester. I go there every week to do shopping and to relax.
I hear there is quite a few left. The ones who held on to their return ticket to The Big Smoke, and came back in one piece.Quote:

Oh thank you for those links - I suppose I should have been more proactive and found those!!:o
Last time I went to Bolton I remember seeing the aquarium in the museum there - there was this knifefish which looked so amazing - but its tank was really inadequate and it could barely turn!:mad: It was like putting a huge fish in a tiny picture frame.
I'm a Manchester vegan! How are you all?
Quite a few Manchester folk at http://www.veganfitness.net
I'm from Manchester!
Im from blackpool which is about an hour away. Or is that too far for you? lol
Salforrrrrrd!!!!

I'm from Manchester, so I sympathise.
Aha I see! . . .U ever been to salford city though? hehehe sorry to maver that, just curoius. :p
mmmmm I haven't been to another country in years! :down:
Lets all raid the airport before others do and live in a veggie friendly place! mmmm :down: :devil:
fancy jetting to new york and setting up a vegan commune?
My brother lives in Salford. Poor thing.
Oh no. I never realised the situation was so bad. Should we do a TV appeal? Something along the lines of "Just £2 a month can help a poor vegan get out of Salford".Quote:
Stu
...or for £3 per month they can move to Toxteth.......Quote:

"Now we're not saying that a small donation will get them out to Alderley Edge or Hale, but just £2 a month can see that they get clean water, sanitation and clothing that isn't Nike or Reebok."
Am I the only vegan who went to Manchester from the south-east?
You proabably are, because why would anyone want to do that ? :p
Nope - I was born in Suffolk and lived in London for ten years until I was 16, followed by Kent for five years. So I am wholly southern! :-)
Do I count as I live close to Manchester (Cheshire - Macclesfield/Wilmslow way)
:)
And I don't know ANYONE I've met in person who is vegan!!!!!!! (I''ll have to partake in the next local meet)
Stef
You count, technically I am from Cheshire, living in Altrincham....has a Warrington postcode, but under a greater manchester council!
I never knew anyone who was vegan round there either!
I was born in Oldham, but grew up in Failsworth in Manchester.
I'm going to the meet for the Manchester Vegan Society on saturday. anyone else coming?
