Great Taiwanese dishes - Edit
Great vegan and vegetarian options. Several dishes that are hard to find in vegan form, e.g the noodle soups. Lovely grounds and friendly staff.

Delicious food, lovely location - Edit
One of the best vegan restaurants I've been to, absolutely delicious, high-quality food and a massive menu which is mostly vegan (a few vegetarian options). The restaurant is weekends only, but well worth the trip! The surrounding gardens are beautiful and a number of rare native birds can be seen as a result of conservation efforts there. There is also usually an art gallery adjacent to the restaurant, which is an added bonus.

Amazing food, lovely staff - Edit
This place absolutely blew us away. The grounds are absolutely stunning and such a lovely place for a walk after your meal. The restaurant building is new and so inviting. The staff were so kind and hospitable. The food was delicious, served quickly and reasonably priced. They are currently running 10% off the bill until August for their 20th anniversary. We loved being able to participate in actual yum cha! Just check that the items you select are vegan. They have the menus on the tables so you can order a la carte or grab from the yum cha trolleys. Book on the weekend. They were happy to give us extra seats when we asked and were very helpful through text.

A haven of delicious food - Edit
Love this place and save visits for special occasions. Do specificy vegan as they use egg in some dishes. The staff are very nice and will remember your request! You do need to book and it's only open for a few hours on the weekend. Try to go during good weather so you can explore the gardens.
Read morePros: Lovely dining room, Peaceful surroundings and gardens to explore, Delicious yum cha and menu offerings
Cons: Not everything is vegan, If it's not busy, the trolleys don't have everythi

Yum cha in an oasis - Edit
My friend took me here to check out their yum cha. She’s last been here when they had the buffet available. You can definitely taste the greasiness in some of the deep fried dishes and the matcha latte 🍵 had a unique taste. If you’re vegan, it is best to check in with the staff to see which dishes are vegan so that your stomach doesn’t get hit with a vegetarian dish (with dairy). It was well worth the drive out to this sanctuary on a freezing/windy day because the landscapes are very beautiful!
Read morePros: Has parking , Weddings and conferences can be held here, Yumcha and menu dishes available
Cons: You may come out paying a lot, Not all dishes are vegan, Requires a road trip to Berrima

Zen oasis is a wonderful - Edit
Zen Oasis is a wonderful restaurant that demonstrates its passion and commitment to promote vegetarian food. It has a vast landscape that makes us feel the strong positive energy field at the entrance. There is also a large free parking lot, a beautiful lake view and a pavilion. Entering the restaurant feels very comfortable and relaxed. The staff’s attitude is professional and there is a clean and spacious toilet. The best part is the food and drinks, which really make us feel that being vegetarian can be so spoiled. The restaurant’s high-end feel and affordable food make us feel very proud to bring our meat-eating family and friends here. They are all shocked, as vegetarian food can be so delicious. Some even say that they would be willing to be vegetarian if they could eat these every day. That’s great. I highly recommend this restaurant that promotes vegetarian food with heart.

Mmmm, fried - Edit
It's expensive and you have to book to get a table, but it's a great place to have lunch. I took ten carnivorous pals here and they all loved it, because who doesn't love fried stuff?
Read moreThe venue is a converted shearing shed in the middle of nowhere. It's about 150 seats, mostly occupied by tour groups who arrive in giant buses at lunchtime. Hence the need to book.
Pros: Enormous buffet
Cons: Bookings essential, Expensive

Oasis indeed - Edit
If you've ever tried to find a decent vegan meal in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales you'll know how this restaurant got its name(bruchetta anyone?). Similar to Green Gourmet in Newtown you'll find lots of deep fried yum cha and fake meat dishes along with sushi and desserts on the $31 buffet - note that not all dishes are vegan though they are labeled if not. Also note there is a wasteage charge if you don't finish your plate though I imagine it's rarely charged.
