We vegans love exploring new vegan restaurants, especially when we are traveling. And these days, no matter where we travel there are amazing vegan dining options to choose from. This page shows some of the best vegan and vegan-friendly dining options contributed by members of our VeganTravel community. These eateries range from vegan fine dining restaurants to fast food takeout and smoothie bars. The vegan dining listings shown on this page were contributed, rated, and reviewed by your fellow vegans. We accept no advertising. Our goal is to provide a platform that truly respects and mirrors our collective vegan opinions and perspectives. As our global vegan community adds additional dining listings, and as we review and rate our favorites, the resulting listings will continually, and more accurately, reflect our global vegan dining preferences. Please consider reviewing and rating the eateries on this page so our vegan community can learn from your dining experiences. And if you know of any vegan eateries we missed, please consider adding them to our site.
Vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and dining options in Australia
BurgerFuel: The ultimate experience in gourmet burgers, incorporating delicious, fresh natural ingredients in an atmosphere as charged as our food.
Because we believe that life is too short to eat bad burgers, we cook ‘em and prepare ‘em while you wait, to bring you a healthy, built fresh alternative in gourmet fast food. We’ve cooked and eaten a whole lot of burgers in our time to get them to taste as good as they do, but that’s ok with us, our stores are our temples and burgers are our religion.
We’re continually looking for the freshest, healthiest, most wholesome ingredients, free from artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, additives and GE modifications. We offer vegan options, as well as specials using different and unusual ingredients to provide variety and adventure to the world’s burger connoisseurs. It’s the BurgerFuel way.
While it’s mostly about the burgers, we’re into some other stuff too. Like saving the planet. That’s why we run an ongoing ‘enviro-mental’ and sustainability campaign – a lot of tree hugging has gone in to the design of our chip cups, doofers and burger bags.
Launched in July 2015, Golden Lotus Vegan is the realisation of our childhood dream — to blend healthy foods and fresh ingredients with a great atmosphere and friendly service. Growing up in Saigon, we adored the way our traditional Vietnamese family combined locally available ingredients to create flavorful, nutritious meals.
It’s this passion for warm family gatherings and unforgettable dishes that led us to bring our love of great food to Australia with Golden Lotus Vegan. Open for lunch and dinner, our restaurant was created specifically for you, as it combines fresh products and traditional Vietnamese fare to create innovative meat-free menu items.
We create each dish with a blend of fresh vegetables and herbs, including exotic Asian ingredients not commonly found in your average eatery. At Golden Lotus Vegan, we don’t want to be common — we aim to be memorable.
Also available for catering functions, Golden Lotus Vegan offers a healthy, vegan solution to group dining and events. Now, your event can include Asian-inspired foods created to stimulate your senses and spark conversation.
We support any Vegan Society and Animal Rights Organisations by offering 10% off for all membership holders. Please present your cards to redeem (not conjunction with any other offers).
Green Gourmet creates food that is 100% vegan. We do not use meat, egg or dairy products, nor do we use onion or garlic in our cooking.

We aspire to do this by producing food that is nutritious for the body and the development of a balanced mind. We believe in the philosophy of eating well to benefit our body and by doing good to our body, we hope to behave in a compassionate and beneficial manner to others. When Colin Fung first introduced tofu dishes in 1984 in his first Chinese restaurant, Gourmet Inn, only 20% of his customers knew or heard about Tofu. Since then, Colin had persisted in bringing together a wide range of fine vegan dishes.

The goal of Red Lime Shack is to change the world.
We are positioned directly opposite the offices of one of the largest council areas in the state. We also make the finest tasting coffee in South Australia. Our 100% vegan food is freshly made each morning from whole ingredients, no shortcuts taken using salt, sugar, fat or white flour.
We have already received incredible feedback to our food from non-vegetarians, who were originally drawn in by the quality of our coffee then tempted to try something different for lunch. We don’t even tell them that our food is vegan, unless asked. Their experience of delicious, healthy, vegan food is an education and creates a ripple effect in the community that is profound.
We invite anyone to come in and ask, discuss or debate our ethos. We’re all in this together and have the same goal.
