Book NowAbout Vegie Bar
Brunswick Street energy, bottled and plated. Vegie Bar anchors Fitzroy as a plant-based institution where hearty comfort food reliably delivers. Converted warehouse bones—high ceilings and lofted seating—keep the room buzzing for post-work groups and casual catch-ups. Skeptical omnivores routinely clear plates here. Massive bowls of tofu laksa balance rich coconut broth with kick, while the kitchen turns out golden parmas, loaded burritos, and saucy mee goreng. Peak dining hours mean a line out front—standard Melbourne rules apply—before the floor crew moves things along to finish on a warm wedge of banana tart.
- Omnivore-Approved Fare: Rich seasoning and layered vegan lasagna satisfy dedicated meat-eaters without compromise.
- Massive Portions: Hearty servings of noodle bowls, burritos, and burgers ensure nobody leaves the table short.
- Global Plant-Based Menu: The menu ranges across fragrant tofu laksa, mee goreng, and pub-style parmas under one roof.
- Rustic Warehouse Setting: High ceilings, brick accents, and second-floor mezzanine seating accommodate bustling groups.

Why Dine at Vegie Bar
Why locals, visitors, and groups choose Vegie Bar on Brunswick Street.
Hearty, Satisfying Plant-Based Portions
Generous, flavour-packed comfort meals—from vegan lasagna to tofu laksa and burritos—leave hearty eaters completely satisfied without compromise.
As someone who does eat meat and was skeptical, I was throughly impressed with their vegan lasagna- the layers and cheesiness was absolutely divine.
Tash MacLeod Broad Global Plant-Based Comfort Menu
An expansive multi-cuisine menu spans everything from burgers and burritos to Asian curries, pizzas, and hearty rice bowls under one roof.
Everything we tried (Korean Chicken Rice Bowl, Mee Goreng, and Mexican Burger) were delicious and also had generous servings.
NotTeaButMagic Spacious Converted-Warehouse Setting
Generous floor space, high ceilings, and two levels converted from an old warehouse make it effortless to seat groups without feeling cramped.
The store was renovated from a warehouse, and it was spacious with high ceilings, which gave a contrast between the impression from the outside and the inside of the store.
Yurie Kimura Lively Group Gatherings & Social Catch-Ups
A dynamic, vibrant gathering spot just outside the CBD where friends and colleagues can catch up over shared dishes and drinks.
Great meeting place for friends after the working week not too far from the CBD. Trendy setting in an old rustic building, the place oozes atmosphere.
Steve Yeoh Enduring Melbourne Dining Institution
A longstanding Fitzroy staple where regulars return time and again for trusted signatures like the Mostly Greens bowl.
Vegie bar is an institution- the mostly greens is a cult favourite and a crowd pleaser every time
Paris Nash Soulful, Cozy Comfort Dining
Deeply comforting house recipes and rich broths deliver a warm, satisfying dining experience that feels like a hug in a bowl.
The flavors were perfectly balanced—warm, rich, and full of depth. It had that homemade touch that makes you feel instantly cozy, like a hug in a bowl.
