Lots of options

Plenty to choose from here and I've never had a bad meal, though I do tend to eat more than my stomach can handle on most visits. Good drink specials too.

Love this place

Best vegan menu I've ever seen. Separate vegan menu so there can be no mistakes. The food is so good, I had to double check my parmigiana wasn't actually chicken

Pros: Great vegan menu, Delicious food, Amazing roof top bar seating

Incredible Food

The food was incredibly delicious! They had a huge vegan menu. My friend had their first vegan burger and loved it. The staff were excellent. Loved my experience and I can’t wait to eat here again!

Crap Atmosphere. Decent pub food.

Food was nice. Vegan options a plenty. Vegan chicken had a pretty weird texture to it, but the Parma was nice. Staff were walking around like they all didn’t want to be there and an inconvenience which is so weird for a place like this and kind of makes you not wanna be there.

Pros: Food came out quick, Lots of vegan options

Cons: Staff and customer service , Vibe of establishment

Great local pub and atmosphere

This local pub is a great spot to come and enjoy a beer! Their vegan burgers we ordered weren’t that great though. For the price you’d think you would get something of a better quality and we were underwhelmed! Vegan mac and cheese balls were yummy though

Meet anyone here..

as long as they like pub food. Omnis and Veg*n have plenty of options here, even on the Covid restricted menu.

Love the feeling of going to the pub, as we did in 37 degrees with friends. Half the table ordered vegan and the other half, non. We all enjoyed the service, cool tap beers and plenty of space.

The most difficult thing was deciding on what to have. I enjoyed the fish and chips, although would have preferred more salad on the side (that's my personal preference to balance out all the fried food.) Served with lemon and tartar sauce, it was nice.

I have previously had the kiev burger which was amazing, I don't think you can get this anywhere else. Friends have enjoyed the burrito (vegan and non-vegan versions), and the poke bowl. All serving sizes are big.

Highly recommend

Very delicious food, huge vegan selection and at a reasonable price. Only critique is that a lot of the food we ordered was a bit too spicy ie the nachos, popcorn chicken burger and the souvlaki. Great place to bring non vegans.

Good for a night out with fast food.

A full vegan menu option, with vegan alcohol and entertainment on some nights. The food is not healthy but some items are quite tasty

Pros: Vegan menu available, Nice atmosphere , Some tasty options

Amazing vegan pub food

If you’re craving proper pub food with a pint 100% Cornish Arms hits the spot. They have $6 pints of lager/cider all the time and different offers on different days.

I’ve been a few times and the portions are always huge and delicious.

Pros: Vegan comfort/pub food, Friendly staff, Cheap pints

Everything superb

A very large vegan menu. I have tried the parma, souvalaki, kiev burger and tortellini - each of them were delicious and some of the best vegan food I’ve had. Highly recommended.

Amaaaazing

I went there for new year’s eve, even vegan wines are indicated. The mac’n cheese was delicious, the portion of “soldiers” was very generous. I took the fish n chips as main, the “fish” was from a brand I use to buy. I already knew the taste so it was not surprising but still very good. My BF took the “chicken” Parma which was absolutely huge. All of these was too much we couldn’t finish it all . If you add to that a nice service, this place deserves 5 stars for their vegan very friendly effort.

Pros: Very good , Generous , Lot of options

Cons: A little bit expensive

Really good, well priced pub grub!

These guys have a really extensive and creative vegan menu. Clearly marked vegan food and drinks. Great atmosphere and amazing food. We had the tortellini and the vegan souvlaki which was amazing. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Melbourne. Short walk from a tram stop too.

Vegan pub food

I came here solely for the mac n cheese bites and they didn't disappoint, especially with the gravy which was surprisingly perfect with the cheesy treats. Fried cauliflower was okay, eggplant chips were tasty and not oily. Great to see vegan fare in a pub setting, although the menu is fried food heavy.

When you need that fix

Sometimes you just want a tasty oversized pub meal to go with your pint! But make it vegan!! Cornish arms covers all your mock meat/vegan substitute desires!! Keep it classic with a Parma or skip lunch to save room for the double down!! Might feel the fullest you've ever felt but it's soooo worth it!!

Pros: Massive portions , Lively atmosphere , Rad location

Used to be Amazing

The Cornish is a bit of a hit and miss, some dishes like the HSP can be great and others have been horrible. I'd recommend other venues before the Cornish which makes me sad.

Pros: Vegan Menu

Cons: Gone Down Hill alot

Pros: Sooooo many vegan foods, Absolutely delicious, Great for when you want vegan American junk food

Cons: A taaaad pricey as a poor uni student

My go-to in melbourne

Whenever I visit Melbourne, the Cornish is the first and last place i visit.

The Parma is always amazing. maybe one day I'll try something else but if it ain't broke, don't fix it

Vegan pub food—need I say more?

Days when you feel like some large sized deep fried vegan grease, this is the place to go. I haven’t been here in yonks, but having recently converted to the vegan diet, I had to try them out. Loads of vegan dishes on the menu from vegan parma’s to vegan curry—and be sure to find out what their Vegan Jackpot is every Tuesday!

Vegan pub food

While not the healthiest option the Cornish Arms has vegan options of most classic pub meals.
The schnitzel is tasty and a good serve however my favourite has to be the mac and cheese bits-so delicious!

The trivia they host is pretty fun and a good mix of easy and hard questions. Best to book on trivia nights as they do get busy!

great pub food

Typical pub atmosphere. Friendly service, we went in early around 6pm but any later I would advise booking if you want to eat. Separate vegan section on food menu and all vegan drink options are labeled vegan. I had the vegan Parma and it was as expected for pub food, tasty huge serving! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Pros: clearly labelled vegan drink options, clearly labelled vegan menu, huge serves
