Decent options, but pricy for what you get - Edit
Things are vegan by default, which is nice. Wasn’t blown away by the food, but nice atmosphere.

One of our best meals to date - Edit
We had the most incredible cold noodle salad! At first, the price for lunch mains might seem steep (~$30) but you can definitely get one to share. The space is airy and beautiful with so many delicious varieties of food, the staff were so kind and we both agreed it was one of the most delicious meals we’ve ever eaten together and thank goodness everything is plant-based!!

Many vegan options - Edit
A very spacious vegetarian restaurant.
Read moreThey have many vegan options.
The store was renovated from a warehouse, and it was spacious with high ceilings, which gave a contrast between the impression from the outside and the inside of the store. There was also a hidden second-floor seat.
I went on a Thursday evening and most of the seats were filled and it was lively.
The food was delicious. The portions were huge.
Next time I want to try the desserts too 🍰

Delicious!! - Edit
I had the truffle and mushroom pizza with artichoke and it was divine. The base has an artichoke Kareem and the truffle flavour just carries through the mushrooms to make the perfect pizza.

Been here several times previously and never really loved the food, with the exception of their gnocchi.

The tiramisu had very good flavours and was delicious and creamy.

LOVE!!!!! - Edit
Huge range of veggie foods, with vegan options clearly identified. Seasonal specials on offer! Easy ordering through a QR code but staff on hand if you prefer not to. We went on Saturday night and they seated us straight away. The food was incredible and I am super excited to go back.
Read moreWe ordered the "broc it like it's hot" pizza, with added olives. This was so loaded and tasted incredible. We also had the autumn gnocchi which was great.
I fully recommend this place!

All cuisines, somehow still delicious! - Edit
I’ve been coming here for the last 3 years, ever since moving to Melbourne in 2021 pretty much and I’m only just getting around to writing one of these. Absolutely awesome menu, just as much vegan if not more than vegetarian option. During our most recent visit we dined italian and got the Bianca pizza and the lasagna and holy sh**, the lasagna was amazing. Such a generous portion, came out still sizzling, and paired amazingly with a red wine. Pizza was also dope but that vegan lasagna is such a massive highlight, can’t believe I’ve never had it before.
Read moreApart from the amazing food, the service is incredible. The only thing I dislike is the push for table service over using the QR codes (which do work) on the table, which seems contradictory to my amazing service comment, but sometimes I just wanna browse a menu and order when I’m ready, ya know? Especially on a menu as extensive as Vegie bars where it’s gonna take us a hot minute to decide everything we want.
Definitely doesn’t lose points for this though, and I’m sure the business makes more cash leaving the QR code system out of the equation, so I can understand why it’s done.
Pros: Vegan lasagna , Staff service, Bianca pizza
Cons: Push for floor service over QR codes

Great find - Edit
Vegan menu options, great vibes, friendly staff … inside dining & a few outside spaces to sit in amongst the street atmosphere.
Read moreWe really enjoyed our time here, the food was super yummy … and we can’t wait to come back.
Coming from interstate, we had this venue marked as one to visit, super glad we did 👍
It’s an icon in Melbourne, and you can see why it’s been running for sooo long.
Enjoyed the superb sweeties - lemon meringue pie & Brownie with caramel sauce & a scoop of thier homemade icecream - OMG … to die for ‼️

Plenty of vegan options - Edit
Love love love this place. Food a little on the pricier side so it’s definitely a treat for us! Only thing to keep in mind is that they do serve dairy milk, so if you want a coffee or hot drink make sure you say soy/oat etc!! Meals are vegetarian or vegan so make sure to check the menu carefully!! Yaki udon is really nice, but I always kinda want more mock duck bc it is good :P

Still good! Serving sizes are great — no stress that you’re going to be hungry after. Went with a group & all were very happy & satisfied with flavour. Outdoor seating has QR code ordering to the table too for those Covid-safer vibes.

Good food! Even better if they could ditch dairy - Edit
Really yummy food and big portions! They're about 90% vegan which is great. It would be even better if they could ditch the dairy completely 🌱🙏

Delish - Edit
Dayum this place has really stood the test of time for vegos - I would come here all the time in high school and over a decade on and it’s still bustling! The food was great, so many options and can’t complain. Personal fave was the gnocchi and the mushroom pizza. GF options are great, but I definitely prefer the non-GF pizza base. Keen to go again!

Good options! Lots of variety - Edit
We had a special dish: HSP. The kebab meat was very tasty. The spices weren't quite the same but still delicious, highly recommended! We also had the yaki udon which was good. And the king oyster mushrooms which was very tasty, great texture and flavour.
Read moreCons: Still has dairy available.

Yeah they seriously need to go vegan. There’s not even a commercial justification for not doing so, even if I thought that were valid. They made the move of having their menu vegan standard (except for honey in a cocktail, which I’m sure they couldn’t live without) and then went backwards by introducing a halloumi burger. I’m sure the customers would have left in droves if they hadn’t. In short, they don’t care about veganism except to profit from a vegan clientele.

so vegetarians don't deserve a place to eat? Sometimes changes can be small and incremental. Some people are not ready to go vegan yet. Can both co-exist? Yet again the vegan police is in full force. Don't eat there if you have problem with it. Quit shaming them.

@otherdimension I feel like I’m reading the op eds in the Herald Sun when I read your comments. The beauty of vegan food is that it doesn’t ethically preclude anybody from eating it. Are you sure you’re not a plant from the animal cruelty industry?

Lovely Ambience + Lovely Food = Lovely Combo - Edit
I’m thankful to my younger brother’s girlfriend for recommending Vegie Bar (along with Girls And Boys) in Fitzroy. Enjoyed the relaxing ambience, the nice service, golden chai lattes (pictured), gyozas, spring rolls and the pizza with the kale topping. Though I think the vegan cheese layer on the pizza could use a little more generosity to add the cheesiness and balance out the tartness of the kale and olives. I also wish that Vegie Bar can have a full vegan menu instead of offering a few non-vegan options like dairy on their menu as the non-vegan options are just unnecessary. In fact, I think Vegie Bar has the potential to go vegan as a similar business in Malaysia called The Hungry Tapir has made the move recently. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and definitely worth recommending to others who are in town.
