The Best Places to Get a Hearty Vegetarian Feed in Melbourne
Vegetarian fare is not just for herbivores. And occasionally going meat-free has its benefits: helping the environment, your health and, often, your wallet. Plus, it's super tasty — and these days, you can get a vegan alternative for just about anything. But just because meat is off the menu, doesn't mean the flavour is lacking. These are our favourite Melbourne restaurants that are either 100 percent vego or just do damn good vegetarian food — from quick and dirty meat-like burgers to all-out fine dining degustations.
