The Best Vegan Restaurants In Sydney
Vegan food gets the side-eye sometimes but when it’s done right it’s seriously hard to beat.
Sydney’s plant-based scene has moved far beyond salads and sides, with venues serving bold, creative dishes that even non-vegans will fight over. From full vegan menus to restaurants offering standout plant-based options, the spots below prove that vegan food can be just as indulgent, satisfying, and flavour-packed. Some might even do it better than their non-veg counterparts, and yes, we’re happy to argue about it.
Yellow is another fine-dining vegan spot to bookmark if you're looking to impress. Known for its refined approach to vegetarian cuisine, the tasting menus highlight the best local produce, from a six-course degustation to a three-course lunch. Thoughtful, elegant and quietly impressive, year-round.
"Don't be upsetti and eat some spaghetti"; words to live by, vegan or not! This spaghetti and spritz bar is the perfect spot for vegan and non-vegan friends to dine together, with a 50/50 plant-based and meat menu on buzzing Waterloo Street in Surry Hills.
Flyover is an Indian vegetarian spot delivering big, bold flavours inspired by street eats across India. Plenty of vegan options don't miss a beat, think slow-cooked black daal, fresh chutneys and spiced cocktails. Don't miss the Seasonal Greens Chaat with tamarind, mint and grapes.
Gigi's Pizzeria has long been one of Sydney's top vegan pizza spots, and it still deserves must-try status. Bringing true Neapolitan tradition to Newtown, it stays faithful to Napoli-style woodfired pizza using AVPN-approved techniques. Proof you don't need dairy to get real flavour
This is a really good vegan spot that shows plant-based and allergen-friendly food can still be delicious. From soft sourdough doughnuts to fresh vegan sushi, everything is made with care and full of flavour. The organic matcha custard doughnuts are an absolute must-try here.
No list of Sydney's best vegan restaurants is complete without Newtown institution Golden Lotus. This Vietnamese eatery serves authentic Saigon dishes minus the meat, think vegan duck pancakes, chicken or tofu pho and our personal favourite, the combination laksa. Affordable and always a must-visit.
