Vegan and gluten free restaurants in Melbourne

Melbourne, Victoria, has 39 kitchens cooking vegan and catering for gluten free diets, and seven of them are fully vegan.

Start with Smith + Daughters on Cambridge Street and The Worker's Foodroom on Little Collins Street, two of the seven fully vegan kitchens here. Brother Bon on High Street has Crispy Delights on the menu.

A few dishes to look for: Roasted Cauliflower with Herbs at Vegie Bar, Forest Dawn at Avocado Moment Cafe and Basket of Chips at Big Pig Canteen.

Catering for gluten free is not the same as a dedicated kitchen. If it is coeliac disease or an allergy, ring ahead and ask how they handle it.
