Green's (www.greensdidsbury.co.uk)
Owned by a TV chef and with a pedigree dating back 18 years, this is veggie food at the swish end of the spectrum. From Cheshire cheese sausages with mustard mash to green Thai curry, it’s seasonal, it’s sourced locally and it’s delicious.

Mildred's (www.mildreds.co.uk)
This Soho legend – simple yet sophisticated and always busy – takes you from stir-fries to burgers, burritos to pies and with plenty up the fancier end of the scale. Organic wine and apple crumble? You bet.

Canteen on Clifton Street (www.canteenoncliftonstreet.com)
The style is friendly and homey, the food exotic, vegan-friendly and open to tweaks should you not want garlic to spoil your romantic evening. Add the fact that those prices are kept low and no wonder it's getting rave reviews.
