This is some of the best you can get anywhere

We had dinner with three friends. The roast “duck”, green curry, eggplant claypot and the Vietnamese pancake were all very good. Everything was delicious, very well prepared and attractively served. We could happily go back to try different dishes.

Pros: Very well cooked food, Good variety of food to choose from

Cons: Nothing detracted from a great meal with friends

Tasty vegan!

No trip to Canberra is complete without a trip to Au Lac. Large selection of tasty dishes. Prawn crackers are oddly addictive.

Pros: Vegan delights!!, Broad range of dishses, Prawn crackers.

Cons: Medium level prices. , Sometimes gets quite busy.

Relax

So good to know that we can eat everything on the menu. So much choice it’s almost overwhelming.
Feels weird asking for the chicken (or pork or beef) despite knowing that it’s vegan.

Pros: Tasty, Huge portions

The most delicious vegan food in Canberra!

This is the ‘go-to’ restaurant for our family - luckily it’s fairly close! We have been visiting Au Lac on a regular basis since it opened. Its delicious Vietnamese menu is completely vegan and amazing.

My kids adore this place. Their favourite dish is the tamarind fish and satay chicken sticks. Mine is the shantung chicken and the BBQ skewers. I also like the rendang curry.

Each dish is brought out very quickly and the restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. My only complaint is that it an add up to quite an expensive outing; totally worth it though! #Veganuary

Pros: Unbelievably fast service , Delicious options

Must try for any vegan in Canberra

Au lac is amazing and there’s still so many menu options I’m yet to have tried. The laksa and duck wraps are a highlight. My Omni partner says he prefers the vegan duck wraps to regular real Peking duck wraps, which is a real compliment.

This restaurant uses a lot of fake meats which I don’t normally love, but there are also some menu options that are a more “traditional” vegan style with tofu etc.

Pros: So many options

Cons: So much fake meat (which some people may like)

Amazing

I've been here several times and it's always so delicious. Very heavily mick meats but there are tofu/veggies as well I would recommend the mock chickens and pork over the fish and beef.

Great vegan food mostly mock meats

In my opinion one of the best (and only) vegan restaurants in Canberra. This is the second store opened by the same owners.

The food is vietnamese with fairly heavy use of mock meats although there are dishes without as well. The dishes are flavorsome and quite a few of my meat eating friends are happy to come here!

Possibly a little heavy on the oil sometimes depending on what you order.

There is a selection of lovely mixed drinks (non alcoholic) also.

Recommend the 'Eggplant claypot sensation' and 'Southern BBQ pork'

The owners are so genuine and humble and just want to get more people to try vegan food without being pushy; they are really lovely!

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Bit oily

The best

Au Lac is by far the best vegan restaurant you'll ever visit. The food is amazing the service is top shelf. Especially the one in Dickson.
I recommend the nuggets, spring rolls and the corn soup (for the entrees)
Mains the curry chicken and fish are amazing.
The soups are really delicious too, the wonton soup is a favourite. The teas are sweet but it hits the spot.

Pros: Lots of options , Big variety , Good prices

Cons: No cons

Great all vegan restaurant

This is the second location of Au Lac in Canberra. Menu is all vegan and lots of curries, soups and entrées to choose from. There is a variety of mock meat used in the dishes but many also offer tofu and/or veg. Some desserts available. Food comes quickly and is usually pretty fresh. This is also comparatively affordable for what you get.

High end SE Asian vegan restaurant.

Iconic dishes from Malaysia, Vietnam, China & Thailand carefully represented in animal free format. Everything we ordered was delish. Many mock meats are used.

Pros: Everything is vegan so it's very safe. Quite posh., Not overly expensive.

Cons: Not overly authentic but who would know?!

Sooo gooood

Food here is amazing. Only tip if you’ve not been before is make sure your order a vegetable dish to accompany your main. Most of the “meat” dishes only have a bed of leaves. Otherwise this place is awesome.

Pros: Delicious , Service, Location

Great place

The best mock meats we’ve had. I took the roast duck and it tasted really close to the real thing. My partner had the laksa and said the sauce was one of the best he’d had also. They also have desserts. Generous portions and reasonable prices on top of a very fast and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Pros: Laaaarge menu of 100% vegan dishes , Taste, Service

Cons: Haven’t found any.
