Best vegan restaurants in Geelong
16 venues in Geelong rated S to B for vegan, every tier backed by cited sources.
A separate vegan menu is provided, with many inventive plant-based dishes and a vegan degustation option. Staff are helpful and will adapt dishes (e.g. make crispy potatoes vegan). Cocktails can be made with wonderfoam instead of egg white. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes, but the dedicated vegan menu and staff awareness make it a strong choice.
Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu, with options like pizza, farmer's bowl, and gelato. The kitchen is shared but staff are trained to handle dietary needs.
HappyCow lists it as a 'Veg-options' venue serving meat, with specific vegan options: spring rolls, rice paper rolls, phở, stir-fried flat rice noodles, and vegetable curries. Multiple HappyCow reviews from vegan diners confirm staff understood veganism and the food was tasty. The kitchen serves non-veg food so the setup is a shared kitchen with clear vegan menu options. No dedicated fryer or kitchen is mentioned, but the options are well-established.
Several dishes are explicitly vegan (e. g. Neko's Signature Curry with fried tofu, Crispy Tofu Donburi) and plant-based milks are available. Staff are knowledgeable about vegan diets. The kitchen is shared with non-vegan items, so cross-contact is possible.
HappyCow describes the Geelong venue as having a separate vegan menu with meat substitutes, confirmed by two HappyCow reviewers who enjoyed vegan nachos and enchiladas. The Wanderlog listing also mentions vegan options at the Geelong address. The vegan menu appears to be clearly separated, but the kitchen also serves meat and dairy dishes, so cross-contact is possible. Inform staff you're vegan and confirm your order is prepared with separate utensils.
A dedicated Vegan Menu section lists plant-based dishes, and the cafe describes itself as vegan-friendly. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination with animal products is possible, but the marked menu makes ordering straightforward.
The cafe serves a set menu and daily specials with vegan choices, including a vegan breakfast, potato curry, dahl, and vegan slices and cakes. The kitchen is shared with non-vegan items (the venue serves meat and is not fully vegan), so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, but no dedicated equipment or separate prep area is mentioned.
63 Degrees offers a separate, dedicated vegan menu with a wide range of breakfast and lunch options, smoothies, and occasional desserts. Multiple HappyCow reviewers praise the varied vegan choices and note the chefs can veganise most items. However, the kitchen serves meat and is not exclusively vegan; one reviewer reported receiving pulled pork when they ordered a vegan quesadilla, indicating a cross-contamination or order-mixup risk for strict vegans. Ask for the separate vegan menu and confirm your order is plant-based.
The venue's own Instagram and website mention vegan dishes like Vegan Shepherd's Pie, and the HappyCow listing notes a few labeled vegan items (green pea risotto, hummus, pizza, salad). The kitchen is shared and no dedicated equipment is reported, but staff can accommodate when asked.
HappyCow lists Café Palat as a 'veg-options' venue serving meat but with clearly labelled vegan dishes. Reviews mention pho chay (vegan vegetable noodle soup), stir-fried rice noodles with a vegan option, Asian salad, and sautéed mushrooms in sweet & sour sauce. One HappyCow vegan reviewer said the pho was bland but noted other reviews suggest higher-quality dishes. The menu is described as having 'clearly labeled vegan and veganizable dishes,' suggesting staff are aware of what can be made vegan. No dedicated vegan equipment is noted.
The menu includes vegan dumplings (e. g., Steamed Vege Dumplings, Mapo Tofu dumplings) and vegan tapas dishes. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff can guide you to suitable options.
Menu clearly marks vegan dishes (VN) including a Vegan Breakfast, Buddha Bowl, and several sides. Build-up items like avocado, mushrooms, and hash brown are also marked vegan. No information is given about separate prep areas or dedicated fryers, so cross-contamination is possible in this shared kitchen.
Described as having vegan options with clearly labelled dishes such as vegan pho chay and stir-fried rice noodles. HappyCow lists it as 'veg-options' with vegan-friendly items. However, the kitchen serves meat and the vegan choices are limited. Staff can advise on vegan options.
The menu marks several dishes as VG or VGO (vegan option available), including fried potato chips and the risotto pomodoro melanzana e mozzarella (marked VO/VGO). All food is prepared in a shared kitchen alongside items that may contain animal products. Vegan diners should confirm with staff.
The menu includes vegan options (e. g., vegetarian mains, sides), and the kitchen can accommodate vegan requests. Staff are trained in allergen management. However, the kitchen is not vegan-dedicated, and the menu is steakhouse-focused, so vegan choices may be limited. A reviewer noted 'only one vegetarian main meal' but also 'vegan options' are listed.
The menu header on the official site says 'VEGAN OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE' in bold under the Pizze Vegetariana section, and the pizza add-ons list 'Vegan/Lactose free cheese $2'. This signals the kitchen can swap cheese for a vegan alternative. Staff are described as trained and accommodating. However, no dedicated vegan menu, no separate prep area or fryer is documented, and there is no independent review confirming vegan cross-contamination protocols. Best to ask staff what's vegan-able on any given shift.
