Creative and delicious - but prices are often outrageous - Edit
The food is great. I've been three times. I'm yet to be disappointed in the food (except fries, see below). Biscoff cheesecake one of the best I've ever had - vegan or otherwise. I've previously had the Korean tofu and duck bao small plates - both were amazing. Then the Jaffa cake cake - the orange bit is exactly how I remember Jaffa cakes. 5* all round so far.
Read moreThe prices are outrageous. £12 and usually considerably more for a burger with no fries is shameless. You could literally get two vegan burgers, two fries and two drinks for that in Maccies. I did order fries, which were simultaneously burned, cold, and soggy - and at £4.25 a total ripoff. Add another £1.45 if you want a tiny pot of ketchup. £14 for breakfast is an abomination.
Location is slightly out of town and slightly ghetto - Covent Garden pricing in a backstreet railway arch.

Great food, friendly staff - Edit
Went just before Christmas for the Sunday roast - just before a gig at the arena which is just over the road. Small, busy place, lovely food and friendly staff. All vegan, so what's not to love :-)

Festive Feast - Edit
We had an excellent 3 course Christmas meal on the Saturday before Christmas ; Very tasty food, great value, and relaxed service.
Read moreSoup starter was amazing, friends had the pate which was also excellent. Main was regular Sunday lunch with extra trimmings and wings as the main part. We had various desserts all excellent and particularly loved the pecan toffee cheesecake.
Would highly recommend for a vegan treat. So nice to be able to choose everything on the menu, will be back for the burgers

Great food close to the arena - Edit
A great selection of different burgers. We had the OG burger and the festive one.
Read moreIt was a bit expensive when paying extra for fries/sauces and they didn't have any lager left which is why it's only 4 stars. I would definitely return next time I'm at the AO Arena as it's right by it.

Best Vegan grub in Manchester!! - Edit
I visited Wholesome Junkies with my friends before going to a gig at AO Arena and we were blown away by the food and drinks here.
Read moreMe and my partner are vegan and our two best friends aren’t, but they always enjoy trying new vegan places with us.
I had two small plates instead of a main from the festive menu (Pig in blanket which was a sausage in bao bun, and the truffle Mac n cheese.)
Both were SO yummy. I was blown away by the mac n cheese and didn’t want it to end ever!
My friends and partner loved their food too.
I also had the raspberry cocktail which was yummy!
The staff were so lovely and welcoming, the atmosphere was great and I loved how cosy the place felt. Amazing decor!
Will 100% be back again as soon as I can!
Pros: Mac n Cheese, Cosy atmosphere, Friendly staff
Cons: Literally nothing

Tasty! - Edit
100% book a table as this place is tiny and gets very busy, we still had to wait a little bit even though we booked. This place was super cute, lovely interior. Food was absolutely fantastic although small portions and pretty expensive but the food is so tasty it’s worth it. Great little place tucked away by the arena.

Amazing food, the chick'n bites make you question if it's actually chicken. Cool place tucked away, quite small, just behind the Manchester Arena. Perfect for pre-gigs. Really popular, they had to turn several people away without reservations, so I thoroughly recommend booking ahead. You won't be disappointed. My only regret is not being able to order everything.

They were at vegan campout this year too, but I missed them. There was too much choice. I wanted to try their battered oyster shrooms.

Well, I hope you get the chance to try it soon. Places like this make me want to move to Manchester! I'm back again in a few weeks. I usually like to try new places every time, but I think I'll be tempted to come back here

Best vegan junk food - Edit
Best vegan junk food I've ever had. I never usually go for the burger option when eating out because it's so often unexciting, or the same beyond meat/moving mountains burger you get everywhere. The burgers at Wholesome Junkies however are incredible. A choice of patties made in house, all of which are amazing, with lots of different sauces and toppings. Their potato tots and loaded fries are equally delicious. I've been loads over the years and everything is always consistently amazing. Fantastic that they've now got their own space too, which is really nicely decorated and a great place to enjoy a meal. I can't recommend it enough

Fully vegan so plenty of choice. Yes it's 'junk' food but some nice options such as the miso corn ribs balance it out. The food was so tasty and flavorful and portions are good.

Can't wait to come back soon - Edit
I went around Christmas time last year, and I loved every bit of it. From the food to the ambience of the place, it's just fantastic. The location is ideal too, just around the corner from the MEN. Can't wait to come back soon and try their famous Sunday roasts

Great flavors and menu! - Edit
The truffle burger and corndog were really very good with lots of flavor. The menu was interesting too. Very popular when we went for lunch. Found it a little pricey overall given the serving sizes though worth visiting again.
