Melbourne, VIC

Best Vegan in Melbourne.

Harry currently ranks 5 vegan spots in Melbourne, scoring 70–81 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.

Harry judges vegan food as food, not as an apology for something else. The kitchen has to cook vegetables like it chose them — char, acid, salt, texture — rather than auditioning imitations of meat. The best vegan restaurants don't ask for a handicap, and here they don't get one.
