Not a restaurant, but food wise. Thai veggie hut in the CBD is the best bain Marie style takeaway I've had since being vego.

We get it every time we make the trip down from Launceston.

HeartFood is fully vegetarian and mostly vegan I believe! So yum

It’s grim out here atm. Depends if you’re after lunch or dinner but I can recommend Aloft, Maria, Little Poet, Winston, Mayfair, Royal Thai- but depending on where you’re coming from there aren’t a lot of “destination” venues for vegans here these days

Pasta factory has some DELICIOUS vegan options, been there a fair few times personally. Vegan shack in Piccadilly gardens for a greasy tasty borgor treat. be warned... they're addictively good!

Purezza and Lotus plant based kitchen are good.

Bundobust, mowgli, panchos in the arndale do a first class vegan burrito

What's preventing you from being vegan?

Underneath the Buddhist temple is vegan, It's an alcohol free bar then wholesome junkies are there for the summer Desert island dumplings til June The allotment Grub has vegan options regularly available with traders who go there too

i love saigon lotus, greens vegetarian, kings cafe (all in kensington), one love (bloor and bathurst), tenon sushi (bloor and spadina... might be the priciest of those).

Mama's tofu - authentic vietnamese vegan dishes on Lawrence ave/Black creek Have to try all their noodle soups! My favorite are number 1 and 3.

Govinda's is literally the best deal in town imo if you love Indian.

Simon's Wok if you're into Buddhist vegan (I recommend the eggplant blackbean casserole and the olive leaf fried rice)

Buddha on Dundas st.

Hogtown Vegan is pretty affordable!

Kindred is the answer. Happy solo date! I love those and highly encourage them in this town💙

Hazel and Jade in Hillcrest is a vegan cafe with croissants. You can pick some up to go and head to the Balboa park

Maybe Bread and Cie? They are primarily a bakery so they definitely have that part covered. It's good too. The food menu is relatively small but If you want avocado toast/sandwiches/pastries, coffee, and that sort of thing, they have it.

Trilogy sanctuary in La Jolla!

Donna Jean!  My favorite brunch in the city and it happens to be vegan.

The Burrow! Love their breakfast. All vegetarian, easily veganized.

Acorn

To Live For is more casual (counter service) but excellent food and pastries!

I haven't tried it but check out Mila.

Acorn is the go to - always amazing.

For more casual, go to The Burrow or Meet.

Chickpea, hands down. Their latkes benedict is amazing, and a lot of food for the price.

Far from where? Where are you where you want vegan food?

Veggie grill recently introduced weekday lunch combos, for around $10 you get a wrap/tacos plus fries/salad and drink.

I love Vegan Glory Thai food, and I think it’s decently priced considering you get a few meals out of those entrees.

Lucy Ethiopian restaurant is deliciously and affordable

Bé Ù on Hoover has some good vegan options including an awesome bánh mì for like $7.

For Auckland:

East (Asian-fusion)

Belly Worship (purely for the vegan lychee pork)

Forest (spectacular culinary experience)

Khu Khu (delicious Thai food. 100% vegan)

Special shout out to Lulu’s in Ponsonby for the best vegan soft serve ever

Wise Boys!

Not fully vegan but I love The Botanist in Wellington

Masala craft has some amazing vegan dishes (Williamsburg).

Local vegetarian here! I second Masala Craft, Amiraj as well. Dominion Dogs has veggie dogs and veggie burgers so you can make anything on the menu vegetarian/vegan. Food for Thought has some good options too. Poke Sushi Bowl in Lightfoot is really good and has plenty of options. Old City BBQ has a mushroom sandwich that is really good. Super Chix has fried avocado stuffed with cheese the middle that you can get as a sandwich or on a salad, I loooove the salad. I think Amber Ox switches their menu out seasonally and for lunch/dinner but I had a really good lunch there. Oishii in CW has plenty of really good options there. There's also a new sushi restaurant called Haru sushi we haven't been to yet but looking at their menu it looks like they've got a lot of options. Hope this helps!

You're better off going to Richmond, eating out here is way too expensive for no reason and always disappointing.

Drive slightly father than New Kent and go to Blue Atlas … it is amazing and they have quarterly Vegan Takeovers, where everything for a week is vegan. They have plenty of vegan dishes on the menu. Our favorite place!

With a crowd, Sun Bo Kong. The food is great and you'll roll out the door stuffed for around. $20 each.

Not great value solo. The servings are big and for sharing.

Cool! Thanks. How's that pho compare to the top meat based competitors?

Not strictly vegetarian, but House of Dosas on Kingsway has lots of vegetarian options for $16 and under. They used to have a Monday special for $6 dosas as well but idk if they still do that. Either way, it’s good value imo. The dosas are huge, super filling, and most importantly, tasty

Do Chay. I don't miss meat when I have their Satay noodles.

Chickpea is huge portions for reasonable cost, I usually always have leftovers to make breakfast with. Would recommend the chickpea fries with whatever you get.
