My Fav in Manc

I am a reoccurring customer to Wholesome Junkies - they never disappoint!! From Hinterland Bar, Beatherder festival, to the old spot near Victoria station.. Delicious burgers and sides! I tried the classic burger with the gluten free bun recently, amazing. Prices aren’t cheap, but it’s well worth it as a treat, and great to support a local business!!

100% Vegan

I did not eat there, but just answered the question that was asked.
Is it still Vegan??

Well, the bottom of the menu outside says "YES! everything is vegan and alcohol-free"

I did not ask, but as it says in the board, you have to assume it is true!!!

Incredible vegan food

Been here twice now, absolutely delicious, I’ve had the truffle burger and Korean tofu bites which were both incredible!

(Note: some drinks contain honey)

Perfect vegan treat

Been following wholesomejunkies for YEARS and finally visited. We ordered almost everything from their smaller menu at Piccadilly Central 🌱 we tried their ‘chilli cheese burger’, ‘cheeseburger egg rolls’, mac and cheese, salt and pepper chicken and fries, plus we tried their truffle mayo and their chilli mayo- this was SO good. Absolutely delicious, if I could’ve bought that truffle mayo on its own bottled up I would’ve. We even tried their desserts- I had the biscoff cheese cake and my partner tried the sticky toffee pudding.
We will definitely have to go back to their main store next time we’re in Manchester

Pros: Incredible vegan junk food, Lovely staff

Great vegan fast food

Tried these at Nottingham Vegan Festival and wish their restaurant was closer as the burger was really tasty. They had huge queues for their stall too so they're obviously very popular.

Delicious burger!

Absolutely loved this burger! It had a truffle mayonnaise on which was to die for! My partner asked to add some different things to his burger and they were more than accommodating! Would like to go back and try more from the menu!

Best burger I've ever had

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food.
I got the Chilli cranberry burger with the chicken patty, it was incredible. Lots of sauce, the patty was crunchy on the outside but not dry in the middle. 10/10.

Super location and restaurant

Über eine kleine Treppe gelangt man in dieses tolle Restaurant im Untergeschoss.
Da es komplett vegan ist, kann man die Karte rauf und runter bestellen. Wir sind am Sonntag Vormittag dort gewesen und haben sofort einen Platz bekommen. Das Essen war super. Wir kommen gern wieder.

We all had the festive burger which was divine and I tried a bit of everyone's starters from the Xmas set menu. Absolutely 🤌🏼

The best in Manchester

This little venue is such a treat. Hinterland and Wholesome Junkies pair very well together!

The atmosphere is comfortable and cosy with an assortment of things for sale in addition to vegan food and non-alcoholic drinks. I have wanted to try Wholesome Junkies for a few years and I am so happy that I finally got to go! This place is a must visit to anyone visiting or living in Manchester.

As a party of two we ordered the KFC burger, the Korean Chikn burger, a small Mac n cheese and a portion of chicken balls.

I had the Korean burger. I primarily ordered this for the mushroom element and it did not disappoint. They were deliciously crunchy! I am typically the type to ask for my burgers without slaw and pickles but I decided to be brave and keep them on today. I'm glad I did, all of the ingredients paired together wonderfully. A truly delightful burger. 10/10!

My partner had the KFC. She said it was crispy, full of flavour and there was nothing she didn't like about it. She was full and still had some left but HAD to eat it all. She gives it a 10/10.

We shared the Mac n cheese and chicken balls. We knew we wouldn't be able to eat all of this but we really wanted to try as much as we could.

The chicken balls were thicc and juicy with a delicious salty coating. The texture was very chicken-like which is something I like. I'd definitely order these again. 10/10

The Mac n cheese was also tasty. The pasta was soft which made it easy to eat alongside the mountain of food we had also ordered. My only critique for this is that whilst the cheese sauce was delicious, it didn't stick well to the pasta because it wasn't a thick sauce. Easily resolved by literally shovelling it into my mouth. I'd still order this again 9/10.

The food here uses good ingredients that don't feel heavy in the stomach. I was full, but not so stuffed that I couldn't move and I really rate meals like this! I'll definitely be visiting again. Thanks for a great meal!

Pros: Food is "light" but filling, Good ingredients, Varied menu

Cons: None, this place is perfect! Eat here immediately!

Amazing and we will be back again and again!

Incredible vegan offering!! This pic was from the Kampus pop up but I will be visiting their new site in Hinterland ASAP.

All the food was gorgeous!! And there was so much choice I didn’t know what to get.

I’m dying to try their brunch menu and roasts!! Do not miss this place if you come to Manny!!

Great food, slow service!

3 of us went for the Sunday roast.
The food was absolutely spot on, with 3 choices of ‘meats’, chick*n Kiev, sausages or oyster mushroom.
I had the Kiev which was incredible.
Portions were generous and prices reasonable for the area.
I am marking down one point as it took an hour for our food to arrive after ordering. I appreciate the place was busy, but that’s still a hell of a long wait for it!
Still, it wouldn’t put me off and at least I’ll know to expect a wait next time!

Pros: Sunday roast! , Friendly staff, Prices

Cons: Waiting for your food!

So glad to have Wholesome Junkies back!

When their old restaurant closed down, I was almost in tears, so I had to get my fix as soon as they reopened at Hinterland, a sober bar in a slightly odd location. The food was just as amazing as I remembered, with some new positions to try out. I went a bit wild with the Asian small plates: I had the Korean poppers, the salt and pepper tots, and the grilled dumplings (which turned out to be the highlight of my little feast). My plan is to eat through their entire menu, everything is just so good!

Pros: The food, The sober bar concept, Did I mention the food?

10/10 I'll take one of everything!

Wow I went to wholesome junkies with very high expectations, so to have these surpassed was a feat!

I have been vegan almost 7 years, and hands down just had the best vegan burger I've ever tried.

I ordered the OG burger and it was melt in my mouth delicious. Highly highly recommend, this place is a must visit.

My partner had the breakfast burger (which he reported was good!) and we shared the Thai fries (Also very good!).

In terms of the venue it's a wholesome, woodsy vibe, very small tables so best for groups of 2 or 3 people.

Pros: Flavour, Cosy vibes, Excellent service

Cons: A bit pricey
