Because all dishes are vegan, they are automatically vegetarian. The same evidence from the official menu and homepage applies.

Wholegreen Bakery & Cafe Alexandria

The menu includes vegetarian items like cheese croissants, lemon pie, and salads.

Maydanoz Restaurant Bar

Sydney · Turkish · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The strong vegetable focus and the fact the venue markets itself as vegetarian-led suggests insider-level commitment.
