Another yr has passed, which agency it's fourth dimension for us to update our where's the best? page 1 time again. It's been a big yr - Cindy sampled all the Auckland had to offer, I binged on Glasgow's vegan pubs and enjoyed roughly to a greater extent than of Brisbane's veggie options. We've too moved house, as well as thence await a few to a greater extent than Brunswick posts as well as a few less Carlton posts inwards the years ahead.

In price of eating out, nosotros lost 2 of Melbourne's classic vegan-friendly eateries.

Thankfully, the brains behind the menus at both these places helped brand The Sweetwater Inn an exciting Southside pub for vegans (also maintain an optic out for Smith & Daughters inwards Fitzroy inwards 2014).

We needed a speedy metropolis dinner earlier hitting upwards Hayley's gushing recommendation of Warra Warra Korean Kitchen. It took us less than a year, which I'm claiming every bit a win.
Warra Warra is tucked away at the dorsum of the Tivoli Arcade off Bourke Street - it's got a few big exterior tables as well as a stylish, exposed brick industrial-ish interior. The card is long amongst enough of vegetarian options, basically 1 for each card section: a soft tofu stew, bibimbap, tofu bulgogi, a grilled tofu light-green bowl, spicy vegetarian hotpot, veggie tofu amongst kimchi, kimchi pancake, sweetness Irish Gaelic patato noodles as well as a few others - you've got choices is what I'm saying.
I got in that place early on as well as the super friendly staff plied me amongst costless nibblies as well as non as well as thence costless beer (the waiter helpfully pointed out that Hite beer is pronounced similar 'height' non hit-ay).
When Cindy arrived nosotros rapidly negotiated our orders - I couldn't ignore the rave reviews that Hayley gave the bibimbap ($13.90), piece Cindy was intrigued yesteryear the tofu bulgogi ($17.50, served amongst rice, salad as well as seasonal fruit).
The bulgogi comes out inward 5 dishes - y'all instruct simply about leafy greens as well as a duet of bits of fruit, a seasoned rice bowl (the staff checked inward amongst us every bit to whether nosotros wanted fish flakes and/or egg on hand of the rice, as well as thence it's likely worth beingness clear that you're vego/vegan when y'all order), a piffling pan of saucy tofu, kim chi as well as pickled oniony bits. The tofu was grilled as well as coated inward a sweetness sauce amongst a fighting of soy saltiness, served on a bed of cabbage, carrot as well as onion. Cindy was happy to relish it every bit it was, but I'd direct hold added a dash of hot sauce or mixed it amongst the kim chi to give it a fighting to a greater extent than zing.
Thankfully, the bibimbap is designed to endure self-sauced to your satisfaction, as well as thence I could happily mash on every bit much of the menage made chilli sauce every bit I wanted (hint: a lot).
The dish itself was fantabulous - a adept mix of tofu, veggies as well as rice amongst a squishy egg yolk on hand that y'all mush upwards as well as stir through everything else. The rock bowl is super hot as well as everything keeps on cooking piece y'all eat, as well as thence the rice gets crunchier the longer y'all become on. It's non heavily flavoured - simply a drizzle of a sweetness soy sauce on the tofu - but the staff are clear that you're meant to self flavour (there's a mild sauce every bit good every bit the chilli, but I was never going to brand that mistake).
Warra Warra is a adept CBD eating theater to direct hold inward your kit bag: fresh as well as delicious food, a serenity as well as relaxed atmosphere as well as enough of vego options. The prices are reasonable (although non every bit inexpensive every bit the diverse dumpling houses nosotros unremarkably autumn dorsum on inward the city) as well as the service topographic point on. They produce cheaper develop dishes at lunchtime, when I retrieve things are a fighting to a greater extent than chaotic. We'll definitely endure dorsum - I'm swell to endeavor the kim chi pancake ($14.50) as well as the veggie tofu amongst kim chi ($19.50).

Little Ramen Bar

Menus: drinks, starters as well as sides, ramen, ramen toppings
http://www.littleramenbar.com.au/
We had a few spare hours inwards the CBD on a Sabbatum and, rather than returning to Shandong Mama for soundless roughly other circular of scallion pancakes, figured it was fourth dimension nosotros got on board Melbourne’s latest nutrient obsession: ramen. The Little Ramen Bar is 1 of a handful of places that induce got all of Melbourne reminiscing close all the expert times they’ve had inwards Nippon (see also: Menya Ramen, dumpling focussed neighbour, it regularly draws queues out the door.
Things were busy but non flood when nosotros visited at 1ish on a Saturday. We were drawn at that spot past times the veg-friendliness of its menu, amongst 1 vegetarian ramen as well as 4 other dishes that tin live on rejigged to take the pork or fish stock. Vegans induce got options too, but volition bespeak to live on clear – most of the ramen come upward amongst egg past times default. You tin customise your soup a chip too, past times adding diverse bonus ingredients (e.g. kim chi ($3), garlic bombs ($1), corn ($1) etc) as well as at that spot are a few other non-soup dishes to select from (e.g. fried rice, edamame, gyoza, all $5.90).
We stuck to the soup menu, amongst Cindy going for Taku’s vegetarian ramen (built on a broth amongst miso, spices as well as rice wine, topped amongst edible bean sprouts, seaweed, bamboo shoots as well as a seasoned egg, $10.90).
Cindy was real impressed past times her soup - rich as well as flavoursome, amongst the seaweed adding a overnice oceanic flavour to the base of operations as well as the bamboo shoots as well as sprouts keeping the textures interesting.
I couldn’t resist the give-and-take ‘spicy’ as well as ordered the vego version of the spicy miso ramen (a miso-heavy base of operations amongst cabbage, bound onions as well as an egg, $12.50).
This was merely okay – the soup itself had a expert chilli boot as well as a rigid miso flavour as well as the noodles were springy as well as delicious, but the toppings otherwise were pretty limited. The egg was delicious, but the cabbage chunks as well as raw shallots didn’t actually stone my the world – I was craving roughly to a greater extent than diversity (tofu? dumplings? I’m non sure).
I must confess to non actually agreement all the excitement close ramen. It’s essentially a pretty basic noodle soup as well as has never excited me equally much as, say, laksa. I suspect that, equally amongst pho, business office of the termination is that we’re vegetarian. Reading reviews of Melbourne’s many novel ramen places the words “pork” as well as “fat” seem an awful lot, suggesting that perchance the fundamental attributes of a expert ramen were unlikely to plough upward inwards also many vego versions. Still, Little Ramen Bar was worth a see – the nutrient is decent, the service super efficient as well as the prices reasonable. I wouldn’t queue here, but dropping inwards for dejeuner on a Sabbatum is definitely worthwhile.

Though in that place isn't clear dietary labelling, each dish's refer is pretty instructive in addition to nigh everything looked to endure gluten-free. Bowls rootage amongst a grain or spinach base, in addition to thence it's fourth dimension to select 3-5 extras ($10-14) - veges served raw, smashed, fermented or simmered.
I started amongst a steamed quinoa base of operations in addition to built upward light-green peas in addition to avocado smashed amongst lime, kokosnoot crude oil in addition to mint, some gently fermented cauliflower amongst dark sesame, in addition to thinly sliced seitan braised amongst shiitake mushrooms.
Meanwhile Michael ploughed through steamed dark-brown rice, a raw blend of beetroot, carrot, radish in addition to ginger amongst Bragg's apple tree cider, a strike of sugariness spud in addition to broccoli amongst tahini in addition to barley, a yellowish parnsip khadi amongst coconut, turmeric, lemongrass, galangal in addition to lime, summation lightly caramelised tempeh inward tamari.
We didn't intend nosotros wanted a potable but the jars of apple, lemon, makrut/kaffir lime in addition to lemongrass ($8) looked besides skilful to lady friend - this was blended upward for us on the topographic point for maximum touching on (... in addition to blended makrut lime leaves arrive at brand quite the citrussy impact!).
We ordered jars of the 2 available desserts to takeaway - raw cocoa mousse amongst kokosnoot agar in addition to berries on top, in addition to a huckleberry cashew 'cheesecake' amongst a jammy overstep in addition to a date-and-nut base of operations ($5 each). They're definitely some of the smoother, tastier raw desserts around. The jars were dandy for packing but less tardily to swallow from, causing mucilaginous fingers in addition to struggles to attain the base of operations (maybe shallower receptacles would move better?).
We were otherwise really impressed past times Supercharger. All the nutrient was inward rude wellness fifty-fifty towards the halt of their shift, amongst the colouring cloth in addition to compaction of create simply picked. The prices mensurate upward favourably against other bowl-based vego venues around town. When nosotros desire a quick repast inward the metropolis nosotros typically telephone telephone on Shandong Mama, but Supercharger volition stand upward out every bit a fresher alternative.

Cindy together with I spent Th nighttime at the movies together with decided to banking concern jibe out Din Tai Fung for a quick pre-Incredibles meal. Din Tai Fung comes amongst a lot of hype - the Hong Kong eating seat has had a Michelin Star together with they've gradually conquered the world, amongst branches inwards the US, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia together with beyond. The Melbourne outpost opened at Emporium a few years agone to massive queues together with lots of enthusiasm (see the spider web log review listing at the bottom of this post). Either the hype has died downwards a chip or nosotros picked a skilful fourth dimension - either means in that place was no queue when nosotros turned upwardly early a Th evening.
The bill of fare is huge, amongst a decent release of vego options spread across it. We made our selections, ticked the boxes on the bill of fare shape together with got stuck in. There's beer, but the non-alcoholic drinks are to a greater extent than interesting - I went for a lemon iced tea ($4.50), piece Cindy went for the Thai bubble milk tea ($6.90).
Food-wise nosotros started amongst 2 vegetarian buns ($3 each) together with a serve of the spicy vegetarian wontons ($11.90). The buns were puffy together with soft together with filled amongst a combination of tofu, mushroom together with spinach. They were decent, but were outshone past times the wontons, petty parcels of goodness served inwards a zingy Sichuan sauce. My dish of the night.
Next upwardly was a serve of the spinach amongst garlic ($14.90) together with the vegetarian dumplings ($10.90). The dumplings were delicately made together with filled amongst the same mix every bit the buns. The spinach was fine - heavy on the garlic, which is crucial.
We had a pretty decent repast at Din Tai Fung - the service was super efficient together with the nutrient was solid. It falls curt of our go-to dumpling house Shandong Mama - their vego dumplings are both to a greater extent than interesting together with ameliorate value ($15 for 12). Still, Din Tai Fung is a skilful alternative if you're looking for a speedy metropolis dinner some Emporium - but survive prepared to pay a chip of a surcharge because of the restaurant's reputation.

Cindy too I needed a CBD dejeuner earlier hitting Shandong Mama, but nosotros decided to accept a interruption from Chinese nutrient too hitting upwardly Union Kiosk. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall house on a niggling laneway pumping out a broad array of vegan toasties too coffee. It's form of incredible to mean value that Melbourne tin back upwardly a wholly vegan jaffle house - we've come upwardly a long agency since this weblog began inwards 2006.
Anyway, the bill of fare offers upwardly 8 savoury too 2 sweetness jaffles, ranging from delights similar veg bolognaise, garlic butter too mozzarella through to a melted hazelnut jackfruit chicken recipe) too deliciously smothered inwards impressively melty cheese too a decent gravy. Cindy was fifty-fifty bolder, ordering the jerk jackfruit alongside cheese too chilli pineapple ($7 - pictured, correct below). She loved it, insisting it was meliorate than mine, alongside prissy spices on the jackfruit jerk too a decent total of pineapple dotted throughout (a terrible mistake, if you lot inquire me).
We grabbed only about takeaway sweets for our walk to the house - a berry crumble spell for me too a chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookie for Cindy. They both did the project rattling nicely.
Union Kiosk is a fantastic CBD option - a wholly vegan house that has actually nailed downwards a niche. We'll locomote back!
