Good but BEWARE - Edit
I was a bit dubious about finding vegan dishes at a place called Fishtales cafe, however I found the restaurant through this app. The staff where very helpful, BEWARE I did confirm the wedges and chips are cooked in the same oil as the meat products. I ordered the falafel burger with a side of salad, burger was pretty good, salad was just your average salad really. I have added photos of the menu; note the majority of it is meat but I though I would include all pages so you can see what your in for, as you can see though it is quite an extensive menu with something for everyone
Pros: Staff helpful, fast service, vegan options
Cons: Mainly meat menu, some otherwise vegan options cooked in same oil as

Worth looking past the name - Edit
True - I would not have ventured into Fishtales if it were not for HappyCow. But I am glad we did.
The menu is massive, and covers many different cuisines; from burgers to curries, salads to noodles... almost too many choices.
Ask about vegan options, they are very obliging. I had a tofu burger, and asked if they could do it tandoori style. They were more than happy. It was nice, fresh and not unlike something I might make myself at home.
There is courtyard seating out the back (which smelt like fish the day we were there), as well as outdoor seating at the front (you could bring the dog) and inside. Service is friendly. I wouldn't rave about the food, but you do have options, including fresh juices. Which is nice considering it's pretty limited otherwise in Warrnambool.
Cons: Serves meat

Not that great - Edit
I've been to Fishtales each time I've been to Warrnambool, because until recently there was nowhere else in Warrnambool for vegan lunch. The food has always been a bit underwhelming and this time was no exception. Among three adults (with me the only vegan) we ordered a lentil burger, falafel burger and a vegie burger. Oddly the side of fries was not vegan, while the wedges were. The vegie burger I chose was OK but it seemed like the only vegan condiment they had was sweet chilli sauce: on the burgers, with the wedges. It was everywhere. The falafel burger my companion chose was (as it was when I ordered last time) as dry as a bone. The wedges were OK but not crisp or overly delicious. At around $11-$12 for a burger, prices would be good if the quality of the food was decent.
Pros: Well priced burgers
Cons: Falafel burger very dry, Fries not vegan, Sweet chilli the only vegan sauce

Plenty of Options! - Edit
Fishtales has many vegan options and the staff are so friendly. They are more than happy to make vegan options on request. My husband had a falafel burger with chips and I ate a delicious lentil burger with peanut butter spread! There is also a glass case with a vast array of raw desserts. If you come to Warrnambool and feel limited for options, please go to Fishtales!
Pros: Plenty of options!
Cons: Cant think of any!
