Vegan beef rendang - Edit
Woah, I am so impressed with the beef rendang. It is really really good! They also have gluten free food.
Read moreI saw people having laksa and squeezed a lime on the gravy. I thought it was quite weird, haha! Oh, just opposite the street, there is a vegan grocer. Be sure to check them out!

Solid menu - Edit
A good variety in the menu. Delicious food. Able to order online via a QR code or the more traditional through the menu and a person route.
Read moreSome things are still vegetarian so this place is not all plant based, but the menu is well labelled.
The con was the prices, it is pricey and sadly the flavours aren't mind blowing which would justify the price.

Decent feed - Edit
It's nice going to a restaurant and having the whole menu to choose from. Food is decent, but the vibe is a little grunge for me. Very typical of that area and demographic. I'd still happily eat there though. Maybe I just prefer a more formal dining experience... or maybe I'm getting old.
Read moreThe menu had symbols to show which items had nuts which makes my life heaps easier as an allergy sufferer. I appreciate restaurants that do this. Prices are good too.

Great food and vibes! - Edit
Loved this place. Delicious food and huge servings for a very good price.
Read moreOur favorites were the vegan chicken bao, the p king vegan duck wrap and the laksa. Also the raspberry tart was very very nice! 😋
The only reason I give them a 4 star rating is because they are not fully vegan and they serve animal products. All the dishes are vegan by default but you can add cheese/diary options. Hopefully soon they go fully vegan! 🤞🏻
Btw we went for lunch and then on the same day we went back for dinner. That’s how much I loved it! 💚 100% recommended!

Delicious! - Edit
There are so many vegan options in Melbourne that it was not easy to pick where to go on our short trip, but we decided to kick it off at Vegie Bar!
Read moreWe ordered the pad thai, mee goreng, and fries with chipotle aioli. While I found the pad thai just a tad too sour for my liking, the mee goreng was phenomenal! The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside - a really generous serving as well!
The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was amazing!

Great food, shame they still use dairy - Edit
When I first moved to Melbourne everyone told me Vegie Bar was the old standby. I did like the food and vibe, but when they accidentally gave me dairy sour cream one time I was a bit turned off. Recently I've been coming back, and while it's a shame they aren't all vegan (everything is vegan by default but you can ask for dairy) I do think they have a good range. The desserts, from all-vegan Girls and Boys next door - are to die for - I am in love with the Lemon Tart!

I want to love them again - Edit
Veggie bar used to be the place to be for vegans. Unfortunately that has changed. It feels as if they’ve stopped putting in the same effort they used to and what used to be a Fitzroy institution now feels a little lackluster. I hope they get back that spark they once had and continue serving up tasty vegan grub to all. Last time I ate there my food came out cold.. onwards and upwards though I hope.

Delightful - Edit
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal out with friends at the Vegie Bar. It was very busy so we were lucky to get a table for the six of us, we would have booked a table but not possible for less than 7 people. The Mee Goreng was wonderful, and the Laksa was full of flavour but it could have been better with a few more veggies and tofu.
Read moreGreat atmosphere, and friendly service.
All the food was vegan, but what a shame about the honey in the cocktails. But at least these cocktails are clearly marked with a honey pot logo on the menu.

Meh - Edit
Very average food. I had the margarita pizza which was okay, the base wasn't very good. My partner had a burger which he said was fine. Really dislike how they have dairy alternatives at a "vegan" place, I think it's sending the wrong message.

Always good - Edit
Vegie Bars food and that's Desserts too, are always good. You can eat there whether you feel like pizza or a healthy stir-fry or lots of other choices. You can also go there for just coffee or coffee and cake for afternoon tea.
Read moreThe only thing I find frustrating, and the staff are nice, but on the rare occasions we order dessert, it's always forgotten, we sit and wait, our plates are cleared, eventually we get someone's attention to say we're still waiting for dessert. Not a big deal, they are frequently busy.
My suggestion, to myself, is make dessert a separate order when finished mains.
Pros: Tasty food, Lots of choice, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Forgetting second course.

Yummy food and cool atmosphere - Edit
Good menu! I ordered the classic stir fry with tofu and satay sauce. My only con is they only gave me like 4 lil blocks of tofu, for the price I think there should have been more tofu. Will definitely be back!! I really want to try the “duck”
Read morePros: Lots of modern vegan food (perfect for non vegan)
Cons: Need more tofu in dish
