Best vegan restaurants in Brisbane

Vegan Restaurant West End

West End · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

The venue is named 'Vegan Restaurant West End'. Its official menu states it serves 'Vegan & Vegetarian' food, with dishes marked by codes including (V) for vegetarian and (DF) for dairy free, and all items appear to be plant-based. The Vegan Society accreditation source was noted. However, this source does not list the venue, but the venue's own branding and menu strongly indicate a fully vegan kitchen, so it is effectively a dedicated vegan kitchen, meeting Tier A criteria for vegan.

Yavanna Plant-based Restaurant

Shop 9/2 Latrobe Ter · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Yavanna is 100% plant-based. Its own website states this, and a vegan restaurant directory corroborates it. The venue describes itself as '100% plant-based' and 'vegan,' meaning no animal products, meat, dairy, eggs, or honey, go into any dish. The entire kitchen is dedicated to vegan food.

Vege Rama - Adelaide St

Brisbane City · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

Vege Rama is fully vegan. The entire menu comes from a 100% vegan kitchen, a fact confirmed by both the official site listing it as 'Plant-Based' and a community directory that calls it a 'Vegan restaurant'.

Dicki's New Farm

New Farm · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The venue's own website calls itself a 'plant-based café'. That means a 100% plant-based kitchen operates there. This is a structural fact, not just a menu claim, no animal products are used on the premises at all, which makes it verifiably safe for vegans.

LONGTIME DINING

Brisbane City · Chinese · €⁠€

HappyCow and Spinach (Vegan Friendliness grade A, "separate vegan menu", "10+ dishes") both confirm an abundant, clearly-marked vegan banquet with dishes like truffle fried rice, salt-and-pepper tofu and steamed dumplings.

The venue also serves meat; no dedicated vegan preparation area is evidenced. The vegan menu is available upon request.

The venue offers a 'vegan pita' option for an additional $1, and the menu lists several wraps that can be veganised (e.g., Satay Tofu, Zen Tofu, Falafel). A vegan-focused blog confirms 4 veganisable wraps and notes that the default pita is not vegan, requiring a specific request. However, the kitchen is shared with meat and dairy ingredients, and there is no dedicated vegan prep area or fryer mentioned. Cross-contamination risk is present.

The kitchen is shared with non-vegan dishes throughout.

Kitchen is shared with meat, dairy, and egg dishes throughout the broader menu. No Vegan Society Trademark or equivalent accreditation noted. The 'Request vegan version' caveat on Agedashi Tofu indicates at least one dish requires an in-venue substitution call.

Nodo Elizabeth St

Brisbane City · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

Spinach.guide rates the venue VFI Grade C, listing 2–3 clearly labelled vegan dishes, including a mushroom burger, smashed avocado, and frozen summer bowl, plus plant milks for coffee, and noting the menu is clearly marked with staff having a basic understanding. FMGF records one community report mentioning good vegan options, and a reviewer also noted a gluten-free vegan slice, but the kitchen is a gluten-free cafe, not a vegan-dedicated space. Vegan choices are described as limited.

ALL DAY

West End · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

The menu labels some dishes vegan, using 've' for vegan and 'veo' for vegan option, with items like Woodlands on toast and Yellow veg curry, but there is no dedicated prep area or fryer for vegan food, and the menu lists many non-vegan dishes, pointing to shared kitchen equipment.

grazegrind

Brisbane City · Fast food · Brunch · €⁠€

Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, with notes such as "Vegan option: Swap chicken for tofu" or a simple "_(vegan)_" appearing next to many bowls, salads, and smoothies.

Nodo Newstead

Newstead · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

Vegan donuts exist. Multiple sources confirm the availability of vegan options, including those donuts. The kitchen is not dedicated to plant-based cooking, so cross-contamination with dairy or eggs can occur during preparation. Staff accommodate vegan requests.

Southside Restaurant

South Brisbane · Cafe · €⁠€

The menu marks some dishes as vegan. The restaurant does not mention a dedicated vegan prep area or kitchen, and all food is cooked in a shared kitchen, which means there is a risk of cross-contamination between vegan and non-vegan items.
