The Best Vegan Restaurants in Brisbane

These days, chefs are giving vegetables more love than ever. Just look at the proliferation of roasted cauliflower on menus across Australia and the world.

And as the murky ethics of the industrial food chain become more apparent, plant-based substitutes like tofu, coconut oil and aquafaba are becoming more popular. Brisbane doesn’t have a huge number of 100 per cent vegan restaurants. But if you’re okay with the people around you eating animal products, many places can cater for you.
