Loving Hut in Brisbane was the first one to open in Australia and is located on Logan Road in Mt Gravatt. Their extensive menu offers something for everyone and is very reasonably priced. They offer a great mix of western and asian-influenced dishes using a selection of mock meats as well as light raw options. The handmade dumplings are the best we've ever tasted and are a delicious snack.
Tea Master - Check It
Situated near Chinatown in Fortitude Valley, Tea Master is a vegetarian Taiwanese restaurant that is probably about 90% vegan. There is a variety of mock meat dishes, hot pots to share and some delicious simple dishes. The Vegan Era CREW love the Tea Master noodles which is about $7 and always hits the spot - it's simply noodles with Asian greens and their special sauce. The deep fried mashed potato balls are amazing too. The Mt Oolong tea is beautiful here but they also have an extensive range of bubble teas. Tea Master is situated at Cathedral Place and they will validate your parking if you park in the undercover car park. They are only open until 6pm and are not open on a Sunday and only take cash.
Kan Yin Teahouse - Check It
Kuan Yin Teahouse is another cheap Asian option in Fortitude Valley. In fact most dishes are under $10. Situated on Wickham Tce, you will often find a line up at the door on a regular work day. The Vegan Era CREW particularly like the spicy calamari, the snow white 'fish' dish and the sweet potato fries with plum salt are a delicious combination of sweet and savoury. Kuan Yin Teahouse is a vegetarian restaurant so please make sure that your dish is vegan upon ordering. They only take cash and are open from Monday to Sunday until 8pm.
West End Markets
The West End markets are held every Saturday from 6am until 1.30pm at Davies Park on Montague Road, West End. They sell a variety of fruit and vegetables, including 1 or 2 organic stalls; plant seedlings and herbs; a mixture of clothing, jewellery and yummy food. In particular, the YKillAMooCow stall sells vegetarian sausage rolls, pies and samosas. The vegan pumpkin and barley rolls are our pick, but the No Bull pies and samosas are awesome as well.
Vege Rama - Check It
Located in the Myer Centre food court in the heart of the city, Vege Rama offer a number of vegan options. They are 100% vegetarian but tend to offer more vegan options than vegetarian and are open every day during the shopping centre opening hours. They also offer organic and gluten free options too. They offer a selection of Thai, Malaysian, Indian and Italian cuisine as well as juices and amazing vegan cakes.
My Heart Garden - Check It
225 Hawken Drive, St Lucia
My Heart Garden is a vegetarian restaurant with about 80% of the menu being vegan. They are nice and close to the University of Queensland but you can usually find a park out the front of the restaurant. Their Bliss Burger is the Vegan Era CREW's pick and they have some great cakes too. In fact little Trudi, the Vegan Era mascot (puppy) ate a whole plate of cakes when we left the room for a second!
They take cash only and are open for breakfast and lunch Monday - Saturday as well as dinner from Thursday to Saturday.
