Review: Vegie Bar is a bit of a Melbourne institution and I love visiting this place. It has always been really busy every time I've been but the service is also always really fast and friendly. Prices are very reasonable and the food is great, with HEAPS of variety on the menu as well. Definitely worth a visit!
 
Pros: Variety * Great Food * Reasonbly priced
Cons: Can be hard to get a seat! * *

Review: First of all I'm shocked to see a few not so good reviews.

I've eaten at veg places all over the world ad this is my favourite. It's not a restaurant, it's a cafe, and a fun one at that. The atmosphere is always up and the staff are quick as a flash, the problem is that it's so popular that sometimes it can be impossible to get everyone served straight away.

I've been going to the Vegie Bar for about 20 years and I never get sick of it. It's the first place I head for when I get back to Melbourne. Try the Mostly Greens with tempeh and extra satay sauce. Also the menu pizzas. You could live off one of their burgers a day and only $7.50 Aust, that's about 3.50 Euro for a sit down meal that is huge.

The only meal I've ever not raved about was a curry, but I haven't tried it since, so maybe even their curry is OK now.

Love the Vegie Bar, long live the Vegie Bar. I wish I could give a 6 cow rating.

 
Pros: Cheap * Tasty * Filling
Cons: Only Open until 10.00pm * Only open 7 days a week * They kill the competition

Review: I have been to Vegie Bar many times being vegan and often hanging around Bruswick St. After the very 1st time I went there, I left disappointed. The staff I encountered have always been icy, the food has always been average. There is a pompous atmosphere in that place and I have not once encountered friendly service. I once waited for about 45 minutes for a lunchtime dish - no one even bothered to let me know it was on its way. I kept giving it "second chances" but I will definitely not be returning.
 
Pros: On Brunswick St * Good interior *
Cons: Average food * Unfriendly staff *

Review: We were really excited about Vegie Bar after arriving late in Melbourne one Friday evening. The menu was amazing. Full of great looking dishes of every type. Unfortunately, not one of them turned out to be particularly good. Everything was average - at best. My seitan burger was nothing like it was advertised, and was about 1/4 the size of the bread and drowned in salad. Frozen french fries and a below average smoothie made it an average overall experience. There are MANY better veggie restos in Melbourne... Pizzas were better choice
 
Pros: selection * atmosphere *
Cons: food quality * rushed feeling *

Review: These burgers are huge and tasty, and one of the items that has made this place what it is. Good variety on the menu, fresh juices and lots of vegan options. Always busy, and therefore a bit too much noise and movement to be really relaxing. I also feel a little rushed, like they need your table ASAP, which is not pleasant.
 
Pros: burgers * juice cocktails *
Cons: too busy * *
