4 vegetarian places in Manchester we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Manchester | Vegetarian across every city.

Vegetarian cooking in Manchester is led as much by its Indian kitchens as by dedicated meat-free rooms, a reflection of the city's South Asian food culture. Lily's Vegetarian Indian in Rusholme and Bundobust in the Northern Quarter show how naturally the repertoire fits a no-meat menu, while Restaurant Orme out in Urmston brings the same care to a more contemporary table.
