    Vego and Loven It - Lentil burger with avo

It is situated up a tiny…read morestairwell on Rundle St, making you feel like you have discovered your own special shop. However, this makes for limited space, especially during the hours of 12-1 when you would be extremely lucky to find a table. You can't book either so it is just a matter of crossing your fingers and waiting. But don't forget, you will not be disappointed! They have a whole range of different vegetarian burgers. I've tried them all and really can't choose the best, it would be like favouring one child! The Thai Burger is always amazing, but just remember no matter which one you chose it will absolutely mouth-watering. The sizes are also ridiculously large. You get the option of having a whole or a half-burger. A half-burger is definitely enough to fill one very hungry person! The prizes are also very cheap with a half-burger setting you back less than $10. If you don't feel like a burger, Vego n lovin it also do a delicious salad and soup, which also come in super-sized serving sizes.

    If John Butler were to be visualised as a cafe this place is what he would look like…read more A long skinny stairwell would represent his gangly legs, leading to his torso - the heart and soul and of the cafe where all the burger love is produced from. Dressed with a convoluted mix of mosaic picture frames, post cards of luxurious 80s holiday destinations (like Hawaii) and a mismatch of vinyl chairs and lino tables somehow blends together to make for a quirky, washed (not unwashed) hippie (not hipster) vibe. And the burger masterpieces created from the brain of this place (the kitchen) come with names like "Ab Fab" or "The Mexican" - all time classic hits that have been topping the foodie charts for 25 years in Adelaide. The menu is written on the most inconvenient spot in the cafe, but who needs to read about ingredients when you can just fall in love with the name and the vibe of a song - sorry - burger, right? Nothing is made with meat and every burger has some version of lentil or chickpea involvement. As Tom W mentioned, only go with half unless you have been starving yourself for a week and don't feel shy to ask for extra avo or hummus included. Although no Banana Pancakes are made in store and they ONLY except CASH in hand, you will fall in love with the aura and energy of this cafe, its staff and the hearty burger party going on inside that will make anyone's heart sing with joy.

The guy who runs this place is more like your trusty bartender but in place of cocktails there are custom yiros' with names like the "Pablo", the "Dave" and many more. I assume these are named after friends or regular customers. The only thing missing from the menu was chips, but maybe I'm a bit too much of a commoner in my tastes and expectations. Great yiros and worth a visit.

    Damn tasty! This is really lovely spot, it really should get more love. In fact, I plan to return a…read morelot to show them more love. First thing to love about East End Yiros is the restaurant. It's not big downstairs, but it is double story. Upstairs is really cosy with a few tables and chairs set up for small groups. Get a table near the window and enjoy the view of Grenfell Street. If you want some fresh air, there are tables outside on the street as well. So never fear. If you want a good quality yiros, you have picked the right place. The Yiros bread is really fluffy unlike others I have tried. Really tasty bread coupled with well seasoned meat (lamb, chicken, pork shaslic, pork sausage). One thing I did notice is that there was no rotisserie? So, I guess the meat is prepared in a different way. The yiros was a good size with a great helping of veggies & garlic sauce. Paired with a beer or wine for $18 is a bargain!
