Some vegan options

Several vegan options on offer. Indian food from Goloka Catering (I had the veg curry with yellow rice); Fin McVeg, where burgers and hot dog meals are or can be made vegan (I chose the spicy bean burger, all dressed, and sweet potato fries); salads and cold drinks from Bowled Over (I had the three-salad combo and iced tea/lemonade mixture); and Nomad Kitchen with its one vegan item, which I had - a wrap stuffed with cauliflower-bulgur fritters, vegan yogurt and salad. Sultan's Turkish Delight is all vegan, in many flavours (samples offered), but some contain artificial flavours and colours.

Fin Mc Veg

What a delightful little stall in St George’s market. All food is veggie and most, if not all, can be made vegan. Really reasonably priced and lovey owners.

A couple of vegan options

I expected more after reading the great reviews here. There were some vegan options, but apparently not as many as before the pandemic (according to one of the stand owners). I bought some souvenirs and a mushroom roll. There was a falafel place that was vegan friendly, but nothing sweet besides some packaged fudge or Turkish delight to take home. Was hoping to track down the Check Out my Buns stand, but a different stand owner said she hadn’t seen them in a while.

Loved it!

I visited the market on a Sunday and in addition to some great food, there were many antique and craft vendors. I ate my way around from the several food stands that offered vegan dishes. Really lovely day!

Great market, lots of vegan options

Reading the reviews on here was really helpful! I knew that I could get a vegan hot dog so I held off on getting falafel...! Got a hot dog from one stall, semi raw caramel cake slice, cashew and date ball, and Anzac biscuit from another, a soy chai latte from the coffee stand and a fresh orange juice. I also picked up some healing crystals. Would definitely come here again and recommend it to everyone!

Are they playing "galway girl" again?

Diddle I diddle I yuuuh?
St Georges has a couple of vegetarian food offerings that tend to be scattered in the middle. Some food concessions have no veggie option, be warned. Its unlikely the paella places do, for example. I know Belfalafel, McFinns and the pandit hindu curry guy are all safe. You can get a falafel wrap, a few stews or quorn hotdog and range of curries and gulab jamon respectively. A stall offers juice as well.

Local food producers will sell you tea, coffee, juice syrups, vegetables, fruit, vegan cakes and treats (stall called "check out my buns") and others.

So long as you can pay cash (no cards), don't mind standing to eat (no seats) and can deal with at times huge crowds, as well as a pretty heavy fish smell in places, you'll enjoy poking through the souvenir stalls and local produce.

Parking hard around here, weather permitting cycle or bike in.

Band plays in centre, usually blasting it out too.

Several Vegetarian AND Vegan options!

Not only were there several vegan plates to chose from among the various stands (I went with a freshly made falafel wrap), there were tons of vegan baked goods as well! Including power energy balls, etc. I went on a Sunday which is when I believe most of these stands are up, but I heard on Fridays and Saturdays they have tons of farmer markets up selling fresh local produce! They had one on Sunday too, so if you're looking for the whole thing... food stands, produce stands (i even ordered kombucha to pick up next week!), shopping stands (lots of knick knacks and art), and live music - I can definitely recommend Sunday! I haven't been on the other days yet but from what I was told everyday has a sort of theme... I was told friday was more for necessity stuff and more working class went, and it gets more expensive on saturdays/sundays with more speciality stuff... but i can only vouch for Sunday and it was awesome! Definitely going back

Pros: Good variety, Enjoyable vibe , All in one!

Cons: Minimal seating (Crowded when i went)

A great surprise!

It took me a while to find the vegan options amongst the many food stalls, but it was definitely worth looking! I ended up finding a green smoothie,a vegan curry and a vegan banana cake! There are a couple of completely vegetarian stalls and the cake stall that I went to was gluten free and mostly vegan. Also great live music and atmosphere.

Pros: good food and value for money, quite a wide variety, great atmosphere

Cons: lots of non-veg stalls to wade through!, quality and presence of stalls may vary

There are vegan options

I believe both of these are only there on the Sunday market.

Fin McVeg has vegetarian, pescatarian & vegan food. I had the vegan dal over rice. It was ok - not much seasoning to it...but after a week of very few options, I was happy to find it.

Check Out My Buns Bakery has vegan baked goods (and some gluten free options as well). I got a slice of chocolate cake that was amazing. I wish I had picked up more for the rest of the trip
