Shakahari
Melbourne's oldest vegetarian restaurant.
Overview
Open since 1972, this is the longest running vegetarian-turned vegan restaurant in Melbourne, and the experience shows in its well-loved and crafted dishes. The hearty meals are Japanese and Indian focused, from curries to pies and dumplings.
The Legendary Satay Shakahari is, well, legendary, as are the melt-in-your-mouth krub phom dumplings filled with sweet corn, mushroom, pumpkin and walnuts.
