The top 8 meat-free restaurants in Melbourne - SilverKris

"Housed in a little bluestone building on Brunswick Street, this popular vegan restaurant pairs a casual, beer-friendly vibe and laid-back service with highly inventive plant-based cooking by co‑founder and executive chef Shannon Martinez. What began as Mexican tapas has expanded into Italian-inspired dishes that convincingly mimic meat and dairy: examples include hearty pasta in a dark-red “beef” ragu made from mushrooms, a “chicken” piccata with lemon and capers that many find indistinguishable from the original, and an impeccable “beef” carpaccio served with figs and a crunchy “fried parmesan.”" - Tim Gray
