Fantastic food, slightly strange location - Edit
Have been wanting to try Wholesome Junkies for years and sorry to have missed them in their previous location.
Read moreThe food is excellent and you will not be disappointed. Tried a burger and several sides and everything was fantastic.
The new location is an alcohol free bar in the basement of the Buddist Centre. It's a cool space but feels like completely the wrong vibe for the food. I would feel very at home in here with some kind of cold pressed juice or healthy breakfast.
The space is very compact and the music is quiet and calm. It felt extremely awkward and you could hear every word anyone else said. They also seemed slightly disorganised but I'll put this down to it being a weekday daytime at the start of a new residency.
The plates are tiny and it's impossible to eat without making a mess. They're stingy with Napkins and the basins in the toilets are not large enough to physically get an adults hands under the tap. It's small things but they make a difference, especially when you're feeling very self concious due to the environment. It's certainly not the place to face-plant a burger!
Still giving 5 stars as I don't want to penalise either Wholesome Junkies or Hinterland which are both grest concepts in their own respect. However with the very greatest respect, I hope Wholesome Junkies find a better location and Hinterland find a more suitable food offer.

Incredible vegan food - Edit
My partner and I have just moved to Manchester and were delighted to see that the much celebrated ‘Wholesome Junkies’ now have a residency at the alcohol free bar ‘Hinterland’. I have been vegan for 8 years and wow — the vegan prawn toast is the best vegan snack I have ever had. We picked our way through some of the starters (prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken balls, Asian fries) and had a burger each. The peanut butter hot chocolate was also fabulous! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. So pleased to see this new initiative. Incredible vegan food!

I absolutely love this place! - Edit
I’ve been to wholesome junkies a few times and the food is amazing. A group of us went there recently to celebrate my birthday. The only reservation I do have is we waiting an hour just for our drink order. But after that our food came pretty quickly.
Read morePros: Tata tots, The decor, Cheeze burger

Amazing sunday roast! 🤤 - Edit
Today we had a minted ‘lamb’ Sunday roast with gravy, Yorkshire pudding, veg, and roasties. My partner had a gorgeous truffle burger that he loved too. The flavour of the ‘lamb’ was stunning, so flavoursome, deep and minty. We also shared a sticky toffee pudding which was sweet and fluffy!
Read morePros: Strong flavours in the food , Lots of options , Lovely team
Cons: Slightly small portions

Best vegan burgers I've ever had - Edit
This has to be one of the best vegan burgers spots I've ever visited.
Read moreSuch a nice range of burgers with different patties available. All the sides looked incredible. We had the chicken bites and they were the closest to actual fried chicken we've ever had.
Was a lovely spot, cosy and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend!

Best Vegan Restaurant in Manchester - Edit
I was looking online for a good vegan restaurant for brunch and thru Happy Cow I found this place. It was a 10min drive from the city centre and so worth it. This place is so cute, the staff were lovely but the food….😳 So good!!!
Read moreThere’s loads of food to choose from but if you’re having brunch you gotta have the WJ Big Breakfast. The variety will send your tastebuds in ecstasy…
Oh and the Sticky Toffee pudding with custard… Yeah you need that in your life too😉

Delicious brunch and burgers - Edit
I can't wait to try the roast dinners here. If the brunch and burgers are anything to go by I'm in for a treat. Been here a couple of times. Nice staff and service. It's a little bit pricey but worth every penny for a treat.

Great atmosphere and cool venue. If you like burgers, you'll be spoilt for choice here. The truffle burger was delicious, and the chips were incredible, but it's very expensive.
Read morePros: Tasty burgers , Lots of choice , Gorgeous looking venu and nice vibe

Banging roast dinner - Edit
Took my non vegan friend here for a Sunday roast dinner and we both loved it. The Yorkshire pudding was immense and a great selection of veggies and gravy to go with the roast potatoes, sausages, cranberry sauce and stuffing ball.
Read moreOnly a very small venue. Close to Manchester Arena. Staff were nice. Serves all kinds of burgers and loaded fries too.

OK - but nothing special - Edit
The best things about this place are the decor the friendly staff and the desserts, which are tasty but a bit small for the price.
Read moreThe food is OK, but nothing special. We’ve been here a couple of times in thee last year and both times the burgers was only lukewarm and drenched in sauce.
The overkill on the sauce not only makes the burgers impossible to eat as intended, but also cools down the fried filling, reducing the comfort and flavour of the burgers.
The brioche buns also could be hotter and (more) toasted to stop the burgers becoming a tepid, soggy mess. #Veganuary
Pros: Nice decor, Friendly staff, Tasty desserts
Cons: Tepid burger drenched in sauce, Sloppy & soggy burger, impossible to eat
