Vegan Restaurant West End
Craving honest, authentic Chinese food that’s entirely vegan? This restaurant is about to become your new favourite! Adored by locals and the vegan community of Brisbane, this unassuming restaurant goes by the simplistic moniker of “Vegan Restaurant”. Ideal for a midweek casual dining experience, you’ll enjoy hearty share plates of lemon chicken, sweet and sour pork and dim sum from the generous menu.
5/209 Boundary Street, West End
Rogue Bistro
Whilst Rogue Bistro isn’t a dedicated vegan restaurant, it offers one of the most thoughtful vegan menus in the city, based on the best seasonal produce available. On the fancier side, the degustation menu boasts the likes of miso-torched baby fennel, crispy kimchi rice cakes and sweet potato gnocchi ripieni. And yes, there’s always dessert!
14 Austin Street, Newstead
Neon Ramen
Adorned with a cyberpunk cityscape and neon lighting, Neon Ramen sets the mood for a good time as soon as you walk in the door. They’ve got all of your ramen bar favourites up for grabs, sans meat! You won’t find just one vegan option here, instead, you’ll have a choice of eight different bao, and that’s just the start!
You can opt to “Make Your Own” meal or choose from the menu that covers vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diners, and dishes like katsu curry and shogayaki.

Bar Kazba
If you’re searching for a vegan restaurant in the Valley to grab lunch at, Bar Kazba is the place for you! Inspired by the streets of Tel Aviv, this cocktail bar serves up incredibly creative drinks and dishes with an exotic twist. Whilst not a dedicated vegan restaurant, this spot is worth a mention due to their extra delicious preparation of veggie dishes. The kitchen uses charcoal and wood fire to add flavour and depth to their plant-based snacks and mezze and it makes all the difference.
We recommend sharing a mezze board with some cocktails, and don’t forget the salt and pepper crispy tofu!
1000 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley
El Planta
Craving zingy Mexican sans meat? El Planta will serve up your flame-grilled mushroom skewers alongside an icy cold marg that will cure your cravings quick smart. Everything is made in-house, including their fresh-pressed tortillas, so expect a menu that shifts and changes with the seasons. If you’re feeling particularly hungry, make the most of El Planta’s bargain $45 per person banquet.

Dicki’s
Beloved for its central New Farm location, friendly service and delicious breakfast menu, Dicki’s is definitely rated as one of the best vegan restaurants in Brisbane by the plant-based community. Featuring reimagined versions of all your brekkie faves, our pick is the sticky duck toastie. And we can’t go past the build-your-own bao buns for a fresh and filling lunch dish!
