top 10 best vegan restaurants in
Choosing the best vegan restaurants in Sydney wasn’t easy. There are a ton of memorable meals from our trip to choose from. It might not be up to the level of Melbourne when it comes to quantity, but the quality is still there. Want a delicious savory pie? How about one of the best salads you’ll ever eat? Or how about a rich homemade snickers bar? They’re all detailed below in our Top 10 Best Vegan Restaurants in Sydney list.
1. shift eatery
We had to put Shift Eatery at the top of our list for best vegan restaurants in Sydney. You know a place is good when you go back 3 days in a row. This is exactly what we did with Shift Eatery. It was our first stop in Sydney and everything was so delicious that we just had to come back to try more. Shift serves breakfast and lunch every day. We loved the waffles, buffalo jackfruit, cheese toastie and so much more. The chocolate shot, chai latte and all the drinks we had were top notch. I can’t recommend Shift Eatery enough when visiting Sydney.
2. funky pies
If you’re going to Bondi Beach or heading east of the city at all you have to stop by Funky Pies. After a long day of walking from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach we were absolutely starving. We came here for the delicious savory pies and discovered upon arrival that they serve them with mashed potatoes, gravy and peas. This meal was epic and totally hit the spot. Funky Pies has a ton of choices from curried lentils to mushroom gravy pies to a rustic bolognese pie. Show up hungry and thank us later.
3. verd
Verd has 3 locations, 2 downtown and 1 in Manly. They serve simple, but truly delicious bowls. We weren’t expecting much, but were floored by the flavors in the Chipotle Caesar and Tijuana Bowl. Even with such a simple menu, it’s absolutely one of the best vegan restaurants in Sydney. Jamie has been trying to recreate the Caesar bowl ever since we got home. Not only did our food taste incredible, but it was all healthy with quality ingredients.
4. bad hombres
Try all the tacos! We tried 4 different tacos from the cauliflower chorizo tacos to the perfectly cooked fried eggplant tacos. They have so many options besides just tacos too. The charred street corn covered in pepitas was as good as it gets. To finish things off don’t skip the Chipotle Cacao Creme Brulee. A little hint of spice, bitter chocolate and a creamy center made for a hell of a dessert.
5. gigi's pizzeria
My god the vegan pizza at Gigi’s was fantastic. We ordered a white pizza with sausage, broccolini, cherry tomatoes and garlic. It was easily one of the best pizzas we can remember. It was tempting to get another one, but one pizza was perfect for 2 people. They also serve risotto, desserts and a lot more. If you’re looking for a legit vegan pizza and not just some fake cheese on bread then you have to stop into Gigi’s Pizzeria.
6. flyover fritterie and chai bar
Okay first things first, this place is hard to find. We stared at Google Maps and wandered around the streets of Sydney for 20 minutes trying to find Flyover. But it was all worth it once we tried their amazing fritters and chai. This tiny hole in the wall is located down a narrow ally and only serves fritters and chai. This is our kind of place. The fried eggplant and spinach were crispy and delicious. We ordered a chilled chai and their special drink of the day which was a tamarind and lime drink. The flavors were all spot on. If you can find it, don’t miss Flyover.
7. joe's sandwich bar
Is there anything better than a loaded sandwich on perfect bread? Joe’s Sandwich Bar is absolutely killing it with unique combinations. Try the Chipotle Pumpkin or Miso Eggplant sandwich or any of the other options and you’ll be in heaven. They even have an awesome carrot and nori Lox Bagel.
8. bodhi restaurant
The fig trees and lanterns set a perfect ambience for a great meal at Bodi Restaurant. There are so many tapas to choose from, but our favorite by far was the Vegan Fried Chicken Sliders. They were a little pricey, but to be honest if they were cheaper we probably would have ordered 5 more. The house made buns were perfectly soft and the fried chicken was crispy with a capital C. Go for the beautiful setting and you’ll definitely be back for more top notch food.
9. lentil as anything
Lentil as Anything has locations in Sydney and Melbourne offering ever changing menus based on fresh seasonal ingredients. They also have an interesting concept behind the restaurant. It’s a non-profit based on donations and volunteering. If you can afford it then definitely hook them up and if you really can’t they’ll hook you up. They serve dishes like Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta and of course delicious Lentil dishes.
10. nutie donuts
Nutie Donuts isn’t all vegan, but they offer a huge range of vegan choices from donuts and cakes to milkshakes. We loved our S’mores Donut and ultra rich Snickers Bar. Unfortunately the milkshake was just ok, so we’d skip that next time. Also when we said the Snickers Bar was rich, we meant it. Don’t order too much at Nutie Donuts, because all of the food was ultra rich. It’s not that it’s too sweet or fatty, but it’s really just perfect for one treat per person. You don’t want to load up (like we did) with 4 or 5 items.
So there’s our list of the 10 Best Vegan Restaurants in Sydney. We hope you visit these awesome places yourself and see why we enjoyed them so much! Let us know in the comment section if you have any suggestions for the best vegan restaurants in Sydney.
