Popular vegan restaurant in Fitzroy that offers a wide range of vegetarian dishes (btw, very VERY busy!) I tried their Moroccan Tajine and it tasted so goood. Rich flavour and a huge portion. Original Stirfry was also delicious with fresh vegetables and tofus :)
First time trying vegan food š± and it definitely impressed me. Never knew vegan food could taste this good. My friend is a regular here & he absolutely loves it.
š Visited in January 2019
Have been here many times over the years and is an institution of Melbourne. Vegetarians and vegans should not miss this place. The menu is also very worldly and delicious. Always very happening and sometimes you will have to wait for 10 mind or so, but worth it. Their desserts are also amazing. Recently I did notice some changes but still love this place!
I loved absolutely everything because Iām a massive Flamer vegan! šš¬š¤©
With over 4700 reviews you can tell Vegie Bar is a Fitzroy institution. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available.
š½ pumpkin split pea Dahl - delicious and as good as Dahl sold at any Indian restaurant. Love the sides they came with the dish. Florida chicken burger (vegan) - you can tell itās not chicken but it comes very close. Nice condiments on the burger. Margherita pizza (+ mushrooms) - very nice, however, the vegan mozzarella didnāt have the same cheese pull that I was after. Pizza Bianca - nice, crispy base. Only criticism was that it was heavily topped with garlic. I love garlic so I wasnāt complaining, just perhaps a little less garlic would be nice.
šāāļø service was very good considering it was a busy Friday night.
Great steak. Cooked to perfection.

Vegie Bar is the type of place your meat-eating boyfriend recommends. I convinced him to try it a few years back and now he is the one to suggest it to me.
I've loved everything on the menu that I have tried so far - the satay rice balls are my go-to entree and I love their pizza's.
My partner usually goes for a burger, or in this case, the souvlaki special. It was so delicious! Did not miss the meat in this dish. Highly recommend.
Their Vegan Big Mac is also a must.
We got the specials on the menu; carbonara and pesto pasta with a sweet iced tea and were pleasantly surprised with the specials menu! Love coming here on a semi-regular basis as theyāre reliable, consistent and tasty.
This place has over 4000 reviews for a reason, itās the best!
Iāve been coming to the Vegie Bar for 10 years and I have yet to be served a bad meal. This place nails it every time. This has to be one of Fitzroyās best restaurants, if not THE best! Today I ordered the Pad Se Ew noodle dish which was, you guessed it AMAZING!! I order this dish at almost every Thai restaurant I go to and the Vegie Bar even managed to beat authentic Thai restaurants at their own cuisine. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Do yourself a favour and get down to the Vegie bar if you havenāt already done so!!
The Vegie Bar is one of my all time favourite restaurants for so many reasons!
The concept and idea behind this place is awesome- everhthing is either gluten free or bio dynamic and everything on the menu is vegan! Every dish is packed with so many textures and flavours, no matter how many time we visit it never gets old!
The staff are always so friendly and the vibe in this place is so energetic yet relaxed, itās amazing. We had their hemp gnocchi and their mee goreng and of course a side of sweet potato fries and we defiantly left very full and satisfied with our experience.
The Vegie Bar is a must try place if youāre ever around Brunswick and if youāre not, itās defiantly worth the drive!
Best veggie place in Melbourne. If you haven't been, you're kidding yourself. Simply greens is a MUST. And the Choc Royale... oh my word it is phenom
Wow! I never knew vegan food could taste so good. Pricey but a delicious menu. The menu has a few Mexican and Asian inspired options, as well as burgers and pizzas. I love the burgers, they were really delicious. The other items on the menu was very flavourful and some were spicy.
After your meal, you can enjoy some raw and vegan desserts.
There is a takeaway bar next door, if you want a quicker service or to avoid the long wait.
My family and I have been here many times for many years. We come here every year for my birthday dinner and it is such a treat. My favourite meal is the Pad See Ew and the drink I always get is the Invigorator.
Staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive, and the food we had was delicious. We ordered a few vegan pizzas that tasted really great.
I'd say the pricing is what you'd expect in Fitzroy, but not too over priced. Would come back here for sure!

Incredible menu, service was a little slow but food incredible! So many vegan options, obviously! šš» def one of my faves north side! If youāre over that way.
Yum!! I would love to rate this place a 4.5! :) Iām not a vegetarian or vegan but after last night I can say Iāll definitely do more vegan restaurants more now! This place was warm, cozy and relaxing! The waitresses not so much because they werenāt so friendly however the food was enormous and full of flavours! The starter for $16 was a bit of a rip off too :/ other than that, perfecto!!
came to Vegie Bar on Queenās birthday public holiday and we had a delicious feast!
we tried a few dishes from the menu, my favourite would have to be the sweet potato fries and the original stir fry, all dishes were so yummy and full of good flavours! i also really REALLY loved the sticky date pudding! there were heaps of options for everyone one the menu, i am coeliac so it was nice to have heaps of options.
service was friendly and reasonably quick for a public holiday and food was delicious!
Realllyyy cute place and itās quite tasty. It was the first restaurant I went to that was vegetarian and I was amazed by how good it was considering I eat meat on the daily. I got the Buddha bowl which wasnāt that good but my friends got the mee goreng and the pad see ew which ended being soo good. Iām asian and I eat these things often but this ended up being better than I expected. I highly recommend if you want to try a vegetarian restaurant. This was also right next to a vegan gelato shop which was great!
Such a great place to get a yummy and healthy meal! The restaurant has a great vibe and the food is fantastic. There was also great service to match, will be returning!
Good food with great menu options
Good service
Great even if you are not vegetarian
Everyone was happy with Meals
No complaints
Will visit again
A great place in a great location. Absolutely loved the vegan pizzas and the sweet potato fries. Can get quite busy at peak lunch hour, so service can be a little slow, but a great place nonetheless!
Not a fan of their mains but would visit here for their cakes and drinks. They also have outside terrace area which has nice ambiance when you come at night time.
My first ever pure vegie restaurant visit. Classic vegetarian options!! You can feed your tummy with a great satisfaction. The place is so happening. Love the environment there.
Great restaurant! you can not make reservation, but
you can use bar area while you are waiting.
I had vegie bao which comes w Tofu and Kimuchi, that was very yammy!
Love this place! Exceptional service and food. Got the supergreens pizza, mushroom pizza and big mac burgers. It does taste like a big mac for vegans/ vegetarians. Abitodd tho we can not take away if we dont finish the pizza
Super cute industrial warehouse with a warm and cosy atmosphere and always the most delicious and diverse range of vegan food! Looking at the menu itās so hard to choose between pizzas, salads, smoothie bowls, entrees, sweet treats and even Big Mac style burgers! I opted for two entrees (that way you get to try two things š) - the Rice Balls and the Crispy Tofu slider - and they were heavenly! The Rice balls were crispy Arancini with soft fluffy rice fillings and a sauce that reminded me of butter chicken Indian and the bao slider was even better! Soft, pillowy bun with crispy tofu and a mayo with a teensy bit of kick. Everything was incredible - definitely recommend a visit!
You will never have a bad meal at Vegie Bar!
I've headed to the trendy restaurant countless of times for dinner, and have never left feeling anything but impressed.
On my most recent visit I got the "Channa Dahl" which had the most fantastic flavours to it. I especially loved the coconut tzatziki to balance the spice of the dahl. My friend got the "Soba Noodle Bowl" and was also very content with her meal.
After Vegie Bar, a visit to Girls & Boys next door is a must for some vegan ice cream!
Lovely food! Place is always busy (no surprise as they offer great yummy food!) definitely will come back for more š
I had masaman curry and my friend had pad siew; and they were delicious!
I ordered the Mexican burrito, which came with a massive burrito stuffed with black beans, onions, spring onions and brown rice, and on the side there was guacamole, vegan cream and corn chips. It was so filling and delicious! Made fresh.
Ordered:
- Margherita pizza
- Better than Big Mac burger
Pizza. Toppings were moist and didnāt stick to the dough. Overall, average dish.
Burger. Moist pattie, good sauce but wouldāve been better if the cheese had melted a little bit. Overall, quite enjoyable burgers.
Loved the food here was super delicious and so filling. Highly recommend the fake chicken nugget pizza itās tasted exactly like real chicken. Also loved the vibe of the place!! Canāt wait to go again
Great joint with an amazing range of burgers and sides. Plenty of flavour and would satisfy almost any omni friend! Haha definitely would recommend if youāre in the area and after a quick and easy bite
I love coming to veggie bar. Every meal Iāve had here had turned out to be excellent. Even the pizzas! Try their chocolate Royale and gluten free brownie with vegan ice cream. All really good ! Staff are also very friendly
Super busy place on a weeknight. We were lucky to grab a table outside on a warm and breezy summer night. Inside was jam packed and pretty loud but courtyard was more chill and spacious. Food was pretty good, didnāt miss meat too much, and we all ordered to share. Highlights were the steamed tofu sliders (super flavourful and textural), tempura onion rings, the sung choi bao and the supreme green pizza. Mee goreng has good flavours but was a bit stodgy so wouldnāt order it again. Service was friendly and we didnāt have to wait too long. Would return!
Really good experience! Our starter took quite a while to come out to us and as soon as I alerted the staff to the wait we received the meal instantly and they were very apologetic. Great food, good vibes š
The food was decent, nothing bad to say about it. Heaps and heaps of vegetarian and vegan options. Super cramped, but then again it's a super busy place! The staff were really friendly and service was great, regardless of the massive amount of people.
The only vegetarian place my boyfriend will go to. He loves that burrito! I usually have mostly greens, which is a yum and wholesome veggie stir fry. I had the satay stir fry last night instead and didn't enjoy it quite so much - needed more flavor.
Very quirky and lively bar serving only vegetarian food with gluten free options. I tried the laksa which was so yummy!! A bit over the top with the bean sprouts and very little vermicelli noodles at the bottom but overall the soup was enjoyable. They also provide chopsticks which is handy for an asian!!
I love this restaurant. Not only is the food all absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is warm, fun and welcoming. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
The best vegetarian/vegan place in Melbourne! Such a wide variety in foods from different cuisines. With the friendly service and quality food itās hard not to come back and try something new.
Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, amazing menu and food which was very quick. Only taking a star off because it was quite cramped inside.
This place. First day of summer. Currently 32 degrees and my sister is in the process of turning 31 years old. We gather here to celebrate her and wish her the happiest of days. I came early to treat myself to a cheeky coopers pale ale and man o man is it cheeky! Marvellous place. Beer 10/10 every time.
Very nice vegan dishes and very big portions! I fell in love with the sweet potato fries. However, The prices are a little high. The service is good. I loved the interior decoration.
Very nice setting with a wonderful atmosphere located in the chart of Fitzroy. I really love their vegan menu so many options I just wanted everything they offer such an extensive range, had the temporoni pizza my gosh it was devine. Will definitely be back.
"...and you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?"
The Dear Luncher somehow found himself in a place that does not serve meat. It was a strange feeling. Standing out like a sore thumb, it was almost as though the people here knew there was an imposter in their midst.
So what do you order if you're a mad meat eater in a place like this? The vegan burger that is modelled on a McDonald's burger of course. The "better than a Big Mac" burger is two non-beef patties, special sauce, iceberg lettuce, vegan cheese (lol wot), onions and pickles on some kind of brioche bun.
Truly wonderdous. It was a bit sloppier than your Macca's Big Mac, the vegan cheese was watery but delicious just the same.
Will The Dear Luncher become a vegan? Unlikely. But this place is good value, and deserves the high rating that it has.
Mushroom burger and smoked tofu & quinoa burger! The mushroom burger is good!! The deep fried organic tofu taste interesting and good at the same time. Onion ring ā> tasty. Smoke tofu & quinoa burger is lovely.... higher point than the mushroom burger just because it suit my taste bud a bit better hehe
First time having vegan food, and I chose to have it on my birthday. Ordered the berry smoothie, mango lassi, sang choy bao (which was fantastic), laksa (unfortunately it tasted more like thai yellow curry), smoked tofu and red quinoa burger (nice but patty could be a little more salty, sweet potato fries were great without feeling oily). My first vegan experience definitely went well. Had gelato cone from Girls & Boys next door which was amazing.
Really great service, our waitress was super friendly and funny, the food options are really various, I really enjoy the better than the big mag options, and their brownie is amazing, will be back to try other dishes!
The food here is amazing, even meat eaters will love it. I love the hipster vibe of the ambience. Itās well set up and allows customers to wait at the bar when awaiting a table which really adds a positive value to the dining experience. Highly recommended
Ordered take away.
I grabbed a yummy peanut butter chocolate gf brownie and the gf bbq pizza - unfortunately the pizza was too spicy for me, if it didnāt have chilli I would have loved it (chilli makes me hiccup badly).
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
This place has everything!
I am yet to try their Girls & Boys gelato bar next door but the Vegie Bar alone has everything covered for you. From their bar menu, to starters, mains and uniquely selected desserts.
Our lovely catch-up was made even better by a warm, attentive staff. They recommended the riceballs and choy sung baos as starters (vegetarian nickname). But we changed our order last minute when we found out desserts!
We ordered the moroccan tajine ans vegetarian laksa. I really love the laksa. It's not too rich but also very tasty. Just the right amount of broth and lots of filling. The tajine has such a unique flavour to it, and the fact that it's veggie made it even better.
We chose the sticky date & pineapple and the berry cheesecake, which was so filling and delicious. I highly recommend the sticky date pudding. Adding a ring of pineapple on top was so creative and the caramel was so decadent *sing*š¶š¶š¶ Overall, would definitely revisit.
Food 4.5/5
Service 4/5
Ambience 3.5/5
Always amazing food. Even meat eaters are impressed with this place - every time!! Love that the burrito is still on the menu, after so many years!!
I've ordered both in store, and on Ubereats. Both times, the food was great; taste wise and portion size. They have a good variety of food, from salads to pizzas, burgers and dessert (if you're not set on visiting their sister store Girls & Boys). I think the prices are fair for the quality of food. My only recommendation is that the customer service could do with some improvement.
One of my favourite places to eat for a wide variety of vegan dishes. Very flavourful and a rotating menu keeps it interesting. Mood lighting makes it a nice dining experience.
We ordered via uber tonight. 6 of The Best Samosa !!!! Crunchy pastry case. But not to ābready.ā Perfect curry goodness inside. Awesome dipping sauces. šš»šš»šš»šš»
Busy vegan restaurant in the heart of Fitzroy. They serve a range of delicious vegan/ vegetarian dishes. I have tried their tasty Mee Gorang and Mushroom Burger and would definitely come back for more. They have regular booze too. Feeling healthy, but craving for some bubbly non-alcoholic drinks? A kumbucha is always a good one to go with your vegan meals.
They have some house rules that I found unusual but well... You can always secure your table and skip the queue by making a reservation - but cancellation and reduction in numbers will lead to extra charge of 24 dollars per head. Wow. I get why it applies to the cancellation but reduction in numbers too? That's a bit rough. They don't provide takeaway boxes too if you've order too much. Order what you can finish, I guess.
Exceeded expectations! Came in on a Saturday night and the place was really buzzing. Being a walk in venue for our group size, I was expecting a long wait for a table but was surprised at only having a short wait before being seated in the main area. The food was excellent, tasted great and was very reasonably priced. The place has a great atmosphere and would make for the perfect setting for a casual dinner out!
Waited about 30 minutes for meal but the food definitely made up for that. I would recommend the Dahl Bowl if you like Indian/Curry. Pricing for food is great :)
The minute you walk through the door at Vegie Bar you know you have made the right choice. Itās always very busy and full of people.
This was my second time at Vegie Bar and I couldnāt help but order the Better than a Big Mac again, even though I told myself that I was going to try something else this time around.
I really love the Better than a Big Mac! It had a lot more sauce than the last time I got it which was great. The amount of chips were a lot smaller though which may be better for my body but I wouldāve preferred a bigger pile! Will definitely be back for another visit š
I had an excellent time dining here tonight. Letās begin by saying that the staff was extremely wonderful and friendly. Although there was a bit of a wait, they directed us to the back bar and then not long after they came and got us to take us to the table.
We ordered the moroccan tajine, mee goreng, nacho bowl and sweet potato fried. We probably ordered a bit too much for three people however cannot deny the fact that the food was delicious. Moroccan tajine and the mee goreng were my favorites. The flavors of those dishes were extraordinary! Itās quite reasonably priced for the portion of food you get in the plate.
I had a wonderful time, and was pleasantly happy with the service, food and the atmosphere! I can definitely see why people rave about this place!
Iāve been to veggie bar 4 times now and Iām not a vegetarian but will eat vegetarian food, last time I order the Big Mac and I did not enjoy it but THIS TIME I ordered a burrito and honestly I was so Satisfied with my choose of meal, the mean in front was the gnocchi.. fast service and great customer service.
Situated in the heart of Fitzroy (and arguably the heart of the Melbourne vegetarian/vegan community), Vegie Bar has an extensive and thoroughly delicious selection of meals. As a non-vegetarian, I can happily report you wonāt miss meat here!
The meals are large, hearty and have a somewhat homemade feel. The atmosphere is buzzing and always full (expect to wait for a table).
I ordered the pumpkin curry which included couscous, a delicious homemade pita bread, almonds, chick peas and an array of other amazing ingredients. My friend got the mi goreng which she said was good and so filling she couldnāt finish.
If youāre visiting Fitzroy, donāt miss this place!
Took my vegan daughter here & the options are both vegan & non vegan & quite varied. I had the corn fritters as recommended by the waiter which were delicious & very filling. My daughter had the edamame burger with the lot & the onion rings were the best weāve ever had. Great place.
Visited numerous times over the past 10 years...Always good quality fresssh food.Ā Quite loud so a struggle for me with sh.t hearing but who cares if I can't hear my friends, the food is worth it.
Amazing pizza! Best pizza Iāve ever had-anywhere.
Atmosphere was lovely and all the food looked so good. The sticky date was equally as amazing! I recommend everyone go here!!
Ordered laksa and a Mushroom burger, the food came quick and it was delicious and filling. It would be great if they dark hot chocolate.
Staff was very friendly.
Fantastic place, wanted to go to a veg/vegan restaurant to expand our horizons, and for a dear friend that is vegan. The service staff were funny and friendly, many yummy things to try, stand out was the mushroom taco, it was hard choosing something to eat. Grabbed dessert next door, made our own sundae, they warmed up the brownie and we got a scoop of biscoff ice cream on top, perfect way to end the night. Youāll always find paid parking on the street, best part about the area.

First of all I probably need to say I think Iāve been coming here for about 20 years. How is that even possible??
As per the last several years when ever I eat here which isnāt frequent at all I always get the burrito. It was delicious and very filling surprisingly. But from memory that always happens. My friend and I were out for lunch for both of our birthdays. Jewelz My friend has lots of food requirements. She was pretty excited to be able to order a gluten-free dairy free vegan barbecue āchickenā pizza. It was a really good size and looked delicious. Weāve had a full day of sightseeing in our home city Melbourne So we were hungry. We had my puppy with me so we sat out the front but it was sunny and they had nice umbrellas up. The waiter was extremely friendly with a cool accent and just the right amount of flirtatious chatter. We also had the berry smoothie and it was the most delicious drink Iāve had this year. The toilets were small but clean and tidy as always. I love that this place is in its original location and still serving up the goods, I just wish I couldāve fitted in one of those deserts. Next time! Veggie bar please donāt go anywhere youāre like a warm big hug for me after the last few years here in Melbourne. Thank you!
Great place! We loved how many options they offer, with a wide variety of styles. Most dishes are well balanced and nutritious and the desserts are amazing.
All vegan!
Cheeseburger pizza on a gluten free base - the yummiest pizza I've had in a while! The mushroom tacos are our fave staple when we are here. Love the people too. Super friendly.
Amazing Vegan selection, clean and nice atmosphere. Very professional and attentive staff. Highly recommended the Korean Tofu Burger! (I added Sriracha to give a little bit more of a kick!)
You can never go wrong with a visit here. Even after so many years, Vegie bar is still producing insanely delicious food.
The only thing I didnāt like - the coconut yogurt next to the burrito and the service (which was not friendly in anyway as it was almost like we were offending the waiter my friend was asking questions to).
