Only so - so(ots)

Delicious starters and a nice vibe in terms of decor but the main feature - the pasta small plates- were a bit bland, needed salt.

Delish!! Recommend

Super friendly staff. I've had the truffle ravioli and the side focaccia.
The ravioli was absolutely DELISH but I gotta say the portion was super small, even served on a side dish?
The focaccia was also just ok, with a hint of sweet?
The staff was amazing and the space is super cozy and lovely. Do recommend!!

Pros: Ravioli, Fresh food, Friendly staff

Cons: Price-ratio

Nice with some room for improvement

We booked a table at Soots a few weeks in advance and finally got to try their dishes. We had two pasta dishes - ravioli which was great! and rigatoni which was a bit overcooked and bit bland. We also had two starters which were nice but I would probably try different ones next time😄All dishes were very rich and a bit heavy but I will be back to try rest of the menu ☺️

Delicious food, friendly vibe

Menu is great, staff were super helpful and gave advice. Cosy set up.

Had the hazelnut and truffle ravioli - delicious but I could have eaten double 😄

Delicious!!

A great addition to the (dwindling) Manchester vegan food scene. Very busy on a Wednesday evening which is nice to see. The food tasted so fresh and delicious. And staff were very friendly and attentive!

Amazing food

All the dishes were so flavourful! I loved the butter bean dish and the truffle ravioli especially! Cute restaurant not too big, good atmosphere. The staff were amazing - very kind and attentive. Unfortunately they ran out of a few dishes so I will defo be going back.

Already a new fav restaurant in Manchester

We loved our meal here. Inside, it's cosy & chic, with big green arches and an open kitchen. Best of all , Soots is named after the owners Ellie & Ruth's cocker spaniel

They have a selection of small plates like arancini, heritage tomatoes w stracciatella, as well as larger pasta dishes that are handmade in front of you. They also have a selection of lovely wines.

Fav dish was the tiramisu and vodka pasta.

Delicious vegan Italian

We had a lovely time at Soots. Food was delicious and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend all of it really but the roasted artichoke and pumpkin risotto stood out in particular.
Will definitely come back next time we are in Manchester

Worst Vegan Cooking in the World

If you can't cook food... Even basic food... Then do not open a food establishment, especially in the Northern Quarter where you would expect bangin food wherever you go.

The service was good but the food knocked me sick... Charging over £10 for some raw tomatoes from Tesco!

Avoid at all costs!

Pros: Service , Location , Atmosphere

Cons: Starters, Mains, Desserts

Delicious Italian food

We had a lovely time at Spots. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and fresh. We ordered three pasta mains(the truffle ravioli, the rigatoni with lemon ricotta and the gemeli pea and mint), two smalls and one medium plate and that was great for the three of us. There is also a nice selection of desserts.

Pros: Interesting and tasty dishes, Kind and friendly staff, Gluten free options

Fantastic

The food here is on another level, it’s so good! We actually stopped talking as the food was so good. We basically had one of everything and couldn’t decide which was the best, they were all that good. Would 100% recommend. Erin our waiter was amazing.

Exquisite!

Seriously, the food here is GORGEOUS! Thoughtful flavour combinations on a small plates menu that's perfect for sharing.

Friendly staff who know the food well and clearly enjoy being there.

We'll be back, for sure.

Plant based Italian cuisine!

Really lovely cosy atmosphere inside, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely fantastic! All plant based which is really nice. I had the heritage tomatoes with stracciatella and basil oil. It was sweet, fragrant and so fresh! Also had the truffle ravioli with truffle cream and toasted hazelnuts which was a truffle lover's dream! Finished with ice cream drizzled in olive oil, I have never tried it before but I'm a convert it's so delicious!

I have been waiting for Soots to open and it was so lovely, I would highly recommend it!

Pros: Atmosphere, Food, Service
