Great veggie/vegan spot! Lots of different food options. The space is massive. Very vibrant atmosphere. Probably one of my favorite vegan pizzas I've had. The truffle mushroom. It didnt have layer of awful vegan cheese. Just a sprinkle of vegan parm. Delicious. Tried the "chicken" bao and the cookie sundae. Also amazing. If I had more time in Melbourne, I'd go back read more

Vegetarian cuisine of the Moosewood globalized variety. You can find something like this place in any US College Town. BUT Execution is much much much much better than at the standard collegiate vegetarian place. This is vegan eating done right! My lovely wife ate at this place several times, ate all over the menu and was generally ecstatic. I had just one meal one time.' I had Peking Duck Wrap with vegan duck and plain old onion rings. The onion rings were absolutely first rate. They were far far better than the onion rings I get in the bars, grills and burger joints I frequent at home. The duck wrap was positively huge and was wonderul eating. Chinese vegan duck is wonderful stuff anyway. The garnishings and sauces, along with the huge size off the whole production, made this a treat. Are the desserts wonderful? I wish I could tell you. After all those rings, and all that vegan duck with vegetables, I had turned into my suitcase. When I leave Melbourne tomorrow, My suitcases will be crammed as full as it is physically possible to cram a suitcase. And that super-stuffed condition is me right now after having come home from the Vegie Bar. read more

Great place. Nice vibe. Good food. Service was good too. They even had a menu which provided a few options for those who can't eat onion and garlic. Tacos were very flavorful. We got a bunch of different things to try but if I could do it a second time, I'd order all tacos. Nachos-good. Laksa kind of like Curry with good flavor and the bowl was decently good. Big place. Even serves vegan ice cream next door I believe. Unique restrooms. read more

A good veggie restaurant. Wide variety but not really inventive. Nice fun place. Dishes are kind of hit or miss. read more

we visit the Vegie Bar every time we come back to Melbourne (we live overseas now). It's an institution and has provided vegan/vegetarian options long before it became popular. Nice range of classics like samosa, laksa, mee goreng, Dahl and good range of pizza. Both inside and courtyard dining - service is quick and friendly. read more

Good lord, this place gave me some life! Stopped by the Vegie Bar with my girlfriend for a date night - we were immediately surprised at how huge and busy this place was! The decor was modern industrial with greenery everywhere. Though we had to wait for our table we were happy to go to the back bar and have a drink. I was ecstatic that they had NA beverages and it was really nice for me to be able to get a kombucha at a bar. When we were seated we had a friendly server and between two people we shared the samosa, the steamed bun, and the pumpkin dal. All were delicious. I would go back and get everything again, seriously delicious food - I'm going to try and figure out how to make the curry in particular. We were a little confused on how to pay our bill and had to go ask someone but just know that when you're done you don't get a check and you just go tell the person at the register in the front what you ordered and where you were sitting and they'll take it from there! Seriously loved this place. Not touristy, great food, queer friendly, lovely staff. read more

Would've been 4 if they served my only single order of a pint of beer. I repeatedly asked if it's coming they said they'd check on it. But it never came during my 1 hour stay. However, the food was good. Although it was vegetarian burrito, it was quite satisfying on both taste and portion even for big meat eater like myself. No worries on food here. But drinks... It really puzzled me... read more

The Vegie Bar - Burrito - Vegetarian Near Me - Fitzroy, VIC

To start it's not that impressive as you been told! As soon as you say you are a vegetarian for some reason everyone at work mentioned this place! So the hype was there and as always my stomach was ready! The burrito was a disappointment! Taste, content and that most important portion size was not sufficient. Well yesterday gave another chance before giving this place one starGlad I tried the Laksa! Yummy like anything!! Worried about the portion size from the previous experience ordered some chips as if Like them. It was a mistake! But the Laksa was so good will go back just for it again! Moral of the story, everything and everyone deserves a second chance! read more

The portions are really big but the food was tasty and healthy. We got the pumpkin and lentil daal & wok stir fry with veggies and tofu. Typically paratha is greasy but this one didn't have any residual grease. The stir fry was flavorful and you could taste the char from the wok. Highly recommend this restaurant to vegans and non vegans. read more

As a vegetarian, I was overwhelmed for choice - so many delicious options! It was very popular at 11:30 on a Thursday, so best to anticipate crowds. The burrito was decent but the accompanying guac and corn chips were especially good. There was a pad mee special that was tasty with lots of tofu & veggies. And the young coconut was a refreshing drink on a hot day. When you go inside, someone will seat you. Once you get the bill, pay at the register in the side room. read more

Vegie Bar is just hype. Ambiance: A really really cool place. It's very large and spacious (although typically busy with people) with awesome decor and a trendy location. Customer Service: The girl who served us was nice and attentive, but a bit too pushy. When I said I didn't want any mushrooms in my meal (because obviously mushrooms are the spawns of Satan), she kept trying to convince me that it's better with the mushrooms and I should keep them... after I said no 4 times. No exaggeration. She's still nice enough, but it did honestly put me off. Food: I ordered Mexican Burrito, Chips w/ Mayonnaise, and had a bit of my friend's Gyoza. My friend's Gyoza was really disappointing. Instead of having a nugget inside, they had a random array of vegetables not even molded together with paste. When you bite into it, everything somewhat falls apart. My Mexican Burrito was alright, though underwhelming. The best part of the meal were the Chips w/ Mayonnaise dip and that's not saying a lot. Definitely the hype. read more

Delicious and approachable vegetarian food. Before I ate here, I was hesitant to go to vegetarian restaurants as I have never been before and thought it would be awkward as I'm a meat eater and didn't want to offend anyone accidentally with what I was wearing or the food I ordered. Also, while I am open to trying and experiencing new things, I didn't want to be lectured on living a meat free or anti-corporate lifestyle. I got none of this at Veggie Bar. Staff do dress like your typical free thinking, alternative personalities with dreadlocks. But they are courteous and friendly and are not pushing any agendas. The food here is the same as at any other restaurant, except they don't serve meat (they still serve dairy etc). The affordable menu is quite large so you can still get your protein and carbs from burgers, bread, rice and tofu meals. You definitely will not miss out on any essential dietary nutrients if you select your meals wisely. I had the satay tofu burger which was good value for the price and was delicious. Drinks are juices, coffee and they even sell coke soft drinks, so they are not alienating customers by being over political with what foods you can buy. They take credit cards and the restaurant is huge, with 3 different areas and the usual community tables. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I'm told that the Vegie Bar is a bit of an institution & I can see why. A varied menu with enough choices for even the biggest carnivore to perhaps get even a little excited about. Not only is the food delicious but the juices & smoothies are too. On my most recent visit I had the tofu & quinoa burger, which was very tasty and the brioche bun was just heaven - especially after being on a carb reduced diet in recent weeks!!! The sweet potato chips accompanied the dish well with a tasty smoky chipotle sauce to dip them in - yum!!! I rounded off my meal with a bounty ball that seemed like a slightly less guilty treat!!! I look forward to heading back & trying more of the menu. The only negative that I have is that the service can be a little hit & miss, generally having to grab a staff member rather than them approaching you. read more

It's an great place to eat. I'm not vegan but I loved there meal. They are many choice and all plate are very big. You have the choice with difference type of meal can be gluten free, sugar free, raw. The waiters are very nice and very quickly. But many people want to dinner in this restaurant and you have to wait some time. It's not possible to do a reservation. There desert are very nice and very tasty.

Do not eat upstairs!! Wait the extra time for a spot on the ground floor. We sat here literally choking on the smoke of something spicy being burned- seriously it hurt to breathe and made me, and the other 20 people unlucky enough to be sitting around us, cough. The service is usually slow, but good. But sometimes it's just slow, disinterested and sucky. The bar out back for waiting is cute and good, and they have delicious ciders. I will keep on frequenting this place...but only on the ground floor!! read more

Great big servings of 100% vegetarian food at a reasonable price. The place is always humming with people so expect to wait a bit on busy nights. There is a cool little bar and beer garden out back where you can wait for a table to free up while sipping on a drink. All the meals are quite large and filling. They cater to all types. I would never go here for a nice little meal because the meals are HUGE! Love this place read more

Ok so the Vegie Bar is obviously popular and most people like the food for the price. But this is not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the COURTYARD BAR OUT THE BACK which many people don't know about and is almost a separate entity. So if you have been to the Vegie Bar many times over but have never walked through to the back courtyard make sure you check it out next time you go. It is fantastic. If you walk through the restaurant towards the back left of the room you will eventually find yourself in a hidden away secret garden. They have DJ's playing music on the weeksends, and you can chill out on the deck drinking sangria to your hearts content. It really is one of the cooler drnking places in the Fitzroy area. A great place to meet friends and an even greater place go on a date with the vegetarian girl you met at yoga or pilates class. read more

Extremely noisy but busy Friday night. Do not go here if you want to chat with your companion as you won't be able to hear each other. Brick walls and concrete do nothing but amplify the yelling and carrying on of the other patrons. Food arrived quickly, though too quickly! Rice was cold and beans in the burrito undercooked. Some flavours & taste but otherwise bland guacamole, boring but filling food. The baked mushroom was nice though. And I'm sure if they cared more I wouldn't have had the negative thoughts about the food. It was adequate but nothing to return for. Overall it's an incredibly loud atmosphere and the lighting was so dark I could not read the menu. Meh. I wouldn't return. read more

Always popular with the crunchier set, the Vegie Bar now spans at least three shop fronts on Brunswick st and is packed every time I go in. I've not had a dud meal here but they seem to shine on the stir fry type dishes. The green stir fry with tempeh and satay was delicious. I'd suggest getting the satay on the side otherwise it kind of overwhelms the dish. I'd like a few more tempeh or tofu options but the menu is a wealth of Vegie standards. read more

The Vegie Bar - Too much green leaf of top (an epidemic in Melbourne veggie restaurants) but otherwise delicious - Vegetarian Near Me - Fitzroy, VIC

This place is seriously vego heaven. I could eat here every day of the week and never get tired. I was visiting Melb only for a short time, but came here twice it was that good. My first time I ordered the shakshuka cause how can anyone pass up baked eggs? It honestly wasn't that spectacular. The eggs were overcooked and I felt the chickpeas needed more time cooking. My cousin got the ramen which was more of a noodle stir fry as it didn't have much broth. Her dish was quite tasty. Definitely recommend. The second time I came in I ordered the sweet corn fritters on top of sourdough toast with a poached egg and broccolini. I thought the portion size was a bit small, but I'm American so. Would highly highly recommend this place for any vego or omni read more

The veggie bar has good vego meals that meat eating friends, significant others and family will all enjoy. Most of their dishes are very large and pretty hard for me to finish. The soba noodle salad has lots of flavour and tastes super healthy but satisfying. I also love the Dahl (the starter) as it's super cheap and filling. If you are super hungry go the burrito it's huge and flavoursome (you will be full for 24hrs). The veg curries are ok too. The roti bread wraps are great value and filling. The vego nachos are so so good. Still unsure how you make cashew sour cream but it's delicious! Not a huge fan of the starters. The gyoza have let me down a couple of times (they come out a bit dry with not much filling). The stuffed mushrooms and rice balls are a bit meh. Same with the stir fries (but why would you order something so easy to make at home). The wine and beer list is pretty good and there are lots of nice looking non alcoholic options. The sangria is a pretty good match for the mexi dishes. You may have to wait but they have a bar at the back that you can wait in and have a wine. read more

One of the more well-known vegetarian eateries in Melbourne, it is mega popular and therefore almost always completely packed. Difficult to find a seat but worth it. Just be patient and you will be rewarded with a wholesome, delicious, fairly priced plate of vegie goodness.

Tried the fish tacoes, margherita pizza, better than a big mac and the sweet potato fries. The fries were delicious, salted and seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Margherita pizza was lovely as well. Fish tacoes were alright, but the portion was tiny. Better than a big mac was nice too, although got sickening after a few bites. read more

Truly great vegetarian experience in Melbourne's Fritzroy neighborhood. Wonderful decor and even better external atmosphere with art projections on nearby buildings. Fun though somewhat limited menu - loved the sambal noodles and the lentil burger on roti(!). the "Dim Sims" appetizer and the drinks were just ok. Portions were very generous. Really good service, our waitress was wonderful as was the cashier. I will come back and recommend it to everyone. Also make sure to stop at Big Lou's donuts down the street for fresh made-to-order vegan donuts - amazing. read more

I left this restaurant not only disappointed but totally peeved and here's why: Service was indifferent to say the least, and the noise level was pretty uncomfortable, but it was Friday night and I was willing to overlook all that as long as the food was good. Alas, our meals were terrible: The gyoza were rubbery, bland, and undercooked. I highly suspect they came out of a frozen value pack from Costco. I had one bite and left the rest for my husband to finish, which he did begrudgingly. We split the burrito, which actually tasted quite ok, but was quite miniscule for the price. I've had an almost identical burrito at Grumpy's Green in Brunswick and it was twice as big as Vegie Bar's and for the same price. The guacamole was just some green glop from a package. Come on people, fresh smashed avocado with onion and tomato ain't that hard. They threw some stale corn chips on the side and a handful of undressed greens. It was pretty sad. To add insult to injury, I had to wait in a ten minute long line in order to pay for this craptacular meal. I was pretty over the whole experience by the time I walked out into the hubbub of Brunswick Street. Veggie food can be fresh, interesting, and varied. Ripping open a few packages and pressing start on the microwave is just not on. read more

Walking in here is a bit of an experience if you're not prepared. You will probably have to queue up and hop around to avoid running into people as even on a lazy weekday, this place is hopping. The clientele here is a little too cool for school and I think it's funny that this place seems to be part of some scene for those that are vegetarian and wear too much eye makeup. That said, it's nice for my boyfriend and I to be able to walk into a place and order anything off the menu (he's veggie, I'm a once in a while meat eater.) The food itself can really vary and depends on what you order. I think the pizzas here not good, but I love the nachos. Most things fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and you will usually find the flavours are okay, but lacking a certain punch and personality. I think the menu is far too big and they should pare it down to about 25 dishes total that they do very well instead of 50 they do just okay. The no takeaway of leftovers is just dumb. I guess I'd understand if they didn't on the principle of not wanting to use takeaway containers for environmental reasons, but I think it's because they think people won't prepare the leftovers correctly? The portions they serve are huge and unless you are a lumberjack there will be leftovers. Which I guess go in the garbage, what a waste. I'd go again if I was asked by someone else but it's not on my list anymore for regular visits. read more

Went here for a late Thurs lunch with a friend, it was pretty busy but we were seated quickly and it died down much more as the lunch crowd disappeared, was a lil' but hard to catch the waitresses eyes, after eating, to order more coffee so sat there for a while but they were friendly and it didn't feel they weren't trying to rush us out to reclaim the table. Coffee was nice and pretty - had one to start off and another to finish the meal. Dim sim entrees are amazing - I wish I could order a huge serving as a main. Also had steamed dumplings - it's a lil' serve of 3 and were pretty standard but gave us more sauces to try on the dimsims. Ordered lentil and the tofu burgers with frys as we were starving, they were good portions and delicious. Next time I'll ask for the satay sauce that was on the burgers to go on the fries. Definitely my fave place for vegan eats in Melbourne. read more

CAUTION: This review was written under the influence of a love high with Melbourne. (Claims an aspiring Sydney-sider who just returned from her first trip to Melbourne two days ago.) I have one word for this place: NOMaste. From the staff to the scene, to the fair trade posters and the vegan and gluten-free baked goods, this joint is all about eco-friendly veggie food for not a penny over appropriate price. The atmosphere is also lovely with large share tables, funky decor, brightly painted walls and good music. Their menu is extensive, with items ranging from burritos to Asian-inspired stir-fries, salads and raw veggie stacks! It's difficult to find a restaurant that prides itself on it's practices and inspires others to "Go Veg" on flavour combinations alone. I was craving Mexican, and the $15 veggie burrito was plump and served with both rice, salad, chips, guac, and sour cream. LOVE at first bite, for vegos or carnivores alike! They also allow you to "vegan" anything containing cheese for $1 - YES! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it when vegetarian restaurants are vegan friendly too, and for just $1, it makes your choice a no-brainer. The only downside, which I actually consider to be an upside, is the sheer popularity of this place. At 18:00 on a Friday evening there were no tables available and the crowd was already beginning to cue. Come early. Leave happy. Vego or not, you'll love this place! read more

Love love love this place. Food is always so good and yum. Try the risotto, the mushroom, the duo, the raw living stack.... try it all! Really cute bar out the back and yum juices which they can add booze to. Don't worry you will not leave hungry! read more

A totally excellent experience today. Arrived for brunch at 11am and was greeted by a lovely and very knowledgeable waitress. As I have Coeliac Disease (I cannot eat gluten at all), I was impressed that she was able to tell me exactly which items on the menu were suitable for me. In addition, she recommended the two dishes I ended up ordering and I was VERY impressed. I had Miang Kham for starters (raw Thai street snack) - $3.50 each (I had two). Wonderful mix of coconut, lime, chilli, lemongrass, ginger and tamarind that you ate as a wrap on an eatable leaf. A wonderful balance of flavours! For my 'main' I had the Raw Taco - $15 for two. Dehydrated tortillas were excellent - soft and flavourful. The raw chilli (nut based) and lovely mix of chilli, fresh herbs, cashew sour cream, lime and salad veggies was amazing. The heat is subtle and builds slowly, allowing you to really appreciate the mix of flavours without being overwhelmed from the first bite. I also had a decaf long black which was excellent (decaf is hit and miss.. either great or terrible at most places!) The food has always been excellent but this time I was totally blown away. The service can be a little patchy when they are very busy but my experience today was wonderful. (My recommendation is to go at quieter times, but in all honesty even if they are so busy there is a wait, the food makes it totally worth it). Prior to going gluten free, I also loved their burritos and veggie burgers. So many yummy choices that have always excited the non-vegetarians who I've eaten there with. With Coeliac Disease and also being pretty much vegan, it is not easy to eat out and I rarely do it as a result but I will be back and most likely often after today's experience. read more

Have visited twice for dinner- once at the recommendation of our friend who lived in Carlton and another time of our own choosing to show other Melbourne-living friends who'd never been before. Can easily see why our first friend wanted to take us here- great food and cool atmosphere. We arrived a bit late for dinner but it was packed (and the space was huge- with so many tables) but luckily they have a great bar to the side and out back where you can wait (with a stand holding a playing card) until they come get you for a free table. We got a bottle of Babich Chardonnay to share amongst the three of us and sat in the outside wooden area with tables- they also had an indoors area with couches but all taken, unfortunately. We had to do this for the second time as well and got a carafe of red wine sangria which was great- being jam packed with all sorts of yum berries. Note: the bar only accepts cash so make sure you get some out or have some already! Think it's wonderful that the menu serves the health conscious- with vegan, gluten free, raw and vegan/gluten free requests available too. Our friends had a few nut allergies and onion intolerance so they were very accommodating which was lovely- excellent service. Had their raw pad thai which was very fresh and a bit of surprise on the system as you don't eat as much raw food as you should! Also had to get a dessert from cabinet: chose the raw pineapple and blueberry cheesecake with macqui crunch which was jam packed with goodness and flavour. Wasn't very big but big enough with all the living food in it. Second time got their Sambal noodles which was decently hot! Definitely recommend if you can handle the spice. Was a neat arrangement of mixed vegetables with asian greens and imitation duck (not bad tasting and great for the vegetarians! Interesting flavour and texture, that I enjoyed, never had it before). Mixed with wok, tossed hokkien noodles, sambal chilli (in the name) and hoisin sauce. So much flavour and only wish I could have finished the plate but it was so generous! Got to try their mini spring roll with sweet chilli sauce in their starters and a slice of their Margherita pizza with napoli, mozarella cheese & pesto topping. Curries on rotation on the specials board- had an interesting one when we went with grapes and pineapples. Would love to come back for weekend breakfast and lunch- for a different experience and to try more food! Especially after hearing their Mexican burrito is on a must-do list for Melbourne- sadly wasn't able to do it this time. Highly recommend while in Fitzroy! read more

The Vegie Bar, as any Melbourne vegetarian will tell you, is An Institution. It's one of the places every vegetarian in Australia has apparently heard of, and if you mention you're going to Melbourne EVERYONE will tell you "OMG YOU HAVE TO GO TO VEGIE BAR." Coming from Brisbane, where vegetarian dining of any calibre is practically unheard of, Vegie Bar certainly is nice: there's staff, who take your order at your table; there's a menu that doesn't have anything crossed off AND a chalkboard "specials" menu; and it's not Asian food! (the only thing we Brisvegans ever have to eat, pretty much). Aside from those points, though, it's rather average. The food is very good, but neither of us really had our socks blown off by what we had. The staff seemed almost reluctant to serve you. It was also really difficult to get a table, so we ended up being plonked next to some family who kept on complaining about how they didn't like X, Y and Z vegetables and what is this vegetarian food anyway. The greatest problems I had were this: the crowding (I really hate hitting my elbows against other chairs/table/people) and the NOISE. We were lucky to get what we ordered, as the waiter could barely hear us. I would probably go back again, but for all the hype, I was expecting a bit more. read more

I like my lassis served cold but The Vegie Bar seemed to differ. Although, warm lassis are more in keeping with their all-natural, macrobiotic fare. My vegetarian friends would have been thrilled with their cosmopolitan menu: meatless takes on dishes from Indonesia, Mexico, Italy, Thailand and more. Super crowded on weekend nights. Expect a line with a 1.5 hour wait unless you share a communal table. We just stayed for drinks. Waiting around for food seemed too painful. Will try again on a weekday instead. read more

I actually love the food here. It's relatively simple, but delicious and cheap. I always order the spring rolls and stand by that these are the best spring rolls I have EVER eaten. My other regular menu item is the chickpea dahl and the vegan pizza (which name escapes me...). YUM. The downside to the Vegie Bar is the staff and their service. I am always shocked when I receive good service - should be the other way around, hey?! Most of the staff are so rude!! You also need to be prepared to wait a good 30mins for a table. Note also, they only have ONE table for a group of 6 - they won't push tables together to make up room for 6. So if you're a group - have a back up plan! read more

LOVE. That's all. The only negative thing I have to say about this place is that for some reason, The Vegie Bar took my favourite dish off the menu. Mind you, it features on the special wall most times I go there so I'm not sure why that happened. But here's a tip, if the 'Dry Chilli Tofu' is on the special's board - get on it! It comes with brown rice, tofu, green leafy veggies and beanshoots as garnish. Delish. Other delicious menu items I would highly recommend - 1. Stuffed mushrooms - beware.. Temperature hot. 2. Vermicelli (It's a big portion so be hungry) The Vegie Bar gets pretty packed and there's a bar at the back where you can wait or if you're happy to be a hippy and share your table with other hippy Fitzroy-ians, that might make your wait time a little shorter. Enjoy! read more

The Vegie Bar is one of the coolest vegan restaurants in the world. It has a great vibe and energy. The music is very eclectic, chill and relaxing, too. I loved the wide array of options on the menu, but opted to order and eat the Mee Goreng. It is a classic Malaysian inspired dish of hokkien noodles tossed in a wok with mixed vegetables, tofu and potato in a spicy peanut satay sauce. It was wonderful comfort food after a long day at work on a rainy day. Check it out! read more

The Vegie Bar - Fruit Drink bar at Vegie Bar! - Vegetarian Near Me - Fitzroy, VIC

So I catch up with my brother and I text him - "let's meet someplace close to the CBD and I will go with your recommendation". He texted back - "Meet at The Vegie Bar at 7pm" ... Ok so I am not a vegetarian, my brother is a recent meat turncoat and I have to admit feeling a little dubious about not having any meat options on a menu. Then I started to think... wow this must be how a vegetarian feels when they head out for dinner, but in reverse of course. The Vegie Bar is a deceptively large restaurant with a little waiting bar hidden at the back. The waiting bar is there because, well, you have to wait a while for a table. No one seems to mind waiting for a table. No one seems to mind because the food is bloody good. I ordered the Vegan Nachos and wasn't dissappointed that there was no meat, cheese or sour cream. How is nachos even possible without all that stuff? Well you know what it just is. It was also extremely filling, I had no chance of finishing my plate. The staff were ... hmmm... they were quirky, I didn't feel there was anything outstanding about the customer service, it wasn't unpleasant but it didn't blow me away. I had a great night here, and recommend it to vegies and non-vegies alike. read more
