	Review: When we arrived at the Greenhouse we really weren't sure if it was open or shut down. The outside decor is so offputting. No menu outside but the christmas like lights that were hanging on the window and turned on game some clue of life. onsidering it was summer time it did seem a bit strange to have Christmas lights. Even stranger were the halloween decorations that were dotted around when we opened the door. And even stranger again was the irish music that was playing. the sor of irish music that isn't listened to by the population living in the country but is played to death in tourist towns. This was all a bit diconcerting and thankfully the restaurant far exceeded our first impressions. It did seem like stepping back into a tme warp and that interior design is not the owners main thing....However after one look at the menu I was willing to forgive them anything. Tons of starters, mains and deserts. Half a ton vegan as well so I was happy. Pies to kill for, the kind of food I would rarely cook at home (but all marvellous0. i left amazed and armed with plenty of deas for my kitchen at home. Don't be deceived by the appearane just marvel at the menu. do ring in advance if you can as it has a smallish capacity and is pretty popular   Pros: huge menu * great conversation * Cons: badly decorated * poor frontage *

	Review: A short bus/taxi ride from Oxford Road. I agree with the other reviewers that the food here is excellent in terms of taste and choice, with a vast choice for vegans. More vegan desserts than other places I've been to. The non-veg*ns with me were also very satisfied with their meals. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. In my opinion the interior would benefit from a bit of a spruce up and then I would give it a five.   Pros: vast choice * great vegan desserts * serve variety of alcohol Cons: interior could do with a spruce up * *

	Review: I had a wonderful meal there, it is 50% Vegan but I was amaxed at the variety of choices. As a Vegan I am ot used to having so many and it took me ages to choose. Oh my god the Vegan chocolate donut desert Oh My God to die for. My only negative comment was my partner said the toilet was dirty, So close to perfection.   Pros: Great Food * Friendly staff * Great Venue Cons: Dirty Toilet * *

"Worth Finding - On my top Veggie Restaurant List"   My Rating

	Review: As a vegan tourist in England, it isn't easy to come by many offerings outside of curry houses (of which there are many) and a few Chinese restaurants. The taxi driver may try to talk you out of going here because the street runs from "Curry Mile" into a very bad neighborhood, but don't let them talk you out of it. This restaurant is safely located one block off of the famed "Curry Mile." It is a little hidden but don't be put off of this little bohemian place. And, don't be afraid of walking off of curry mile down this street to find it. I travel a lot and have tried to remain a vegan throughout my global business trips. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST! This is a 100% vegetarian restaurant and 50% of the menu items are vegan. You can also have many dishes made vegan and the staff is very friendly and can advise you as to how something can be prepared. There is a regular menu (which has a rediculously robust selection of starters, main courses, and desserts) and seasonal specials. I heard that they try to use locally grown produce so there is a seasonality to the dishes. The Haggis was delicious, the curry sweet potato appetizer had just the right amount of spice, and the squash and nut roast was amazing! My friend (a local resident) had the cheese and spinach pie and said that if all vegetarian tasted this good, she would not need to eat meat. My friend said that she would definitely bring people there again. And, then there is the homemade vegan cheese cake with current sauce. Fantastic! When people ask how someone can possibly remain vegan and travel and whether it is limiting, I will tell them that the next time they visit Manchester they should find The Greenhouse.   Pros: Excellent Food * Friendly Staff * Full Menu Manchester Vegan Cons: A little difficult to see * *

"The Greenhouse - The most amazing place to eat"   My Rating

	Review: The Greenhouse is the most amazing restaurant. It is unique in that everytime you go you get a personal service and attention that you just don't find elsewhere. The menu is just about the broadest menu that I have ever seen in a restaruant and everything that I have tasted from the menu has been superb. The choice is huge. THe portions are fabulous. The tastes and flavours and amazing. There is something for everyone - the meat eater, the veggie, the vegan, the lactose intolerant. You name it and Robyn will do his best to work with it - and we have tested this out before :). If you are in Manchester or can get to Manchester then the Greenhouse is the place for a relaxed lunch or evening out and it can be complemented with the wonderous range of alcaholic and non alcaholic drinks. If you haven't been there - its time to try. Dont be put off by the unasuming frontage because inside is a gem that isn't replicated anywhere in the UK to the best of my knowledge.   Pros: superb food * amazing choice * homely atmosphere Cons: * *

	Review: I've eaten here a couple of times and enjoyed the vegan offerings available. As someone who doesn't live in Manchester who has chosen a non car owning lifestyle the Greenhouse being located outside the city centre it isn't the easiest place to get to.   Pros: Vegan offerings * * Cons: Non city centre location * *
