Delightful night out

A favourite for Melbourne vegans. I have been twice; once with my partner and once in a big group for a birthday. The large group set menu is so worth the money; we had SOOO much amazing food we were bursting at the seams. Menu changes seasonally, showcasing the creativity of the owners and chefs. Bar is stocked with beautiful local and international vegan beer, wines etc.
Staff a lovely, even when it gets very busy. Definitely recommend booking especially for weekends.

Pros: Everything is vegan! , Amazing food

Horrid and overpriced

Insanely overpriced for the quality of food. Paid $25 for a quarter of a plate of pasta that was just coated in olive oil. The main chef is also not vegan which is probably why her food is so boring and uses her foul tasting faux meats as a crutch. Much better food for a fraction of the price can be found literally anywhere else in Melbourne.

Just can't be beaten

I love this place. It just gets better every time - always prefer the bunch menu to dinner. The parmesan scramble is Delicious and the new frotatta was out of this world. The sauce on top was sooooo good. Great portions and worth every cent. Just wish there were gluten free desserts.

Amazing!

My partner took me here for my birthday and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The flavours were excellent and everything tasted very fresh. Everything on the menu sounds great with a good variety of options. Service was a little slow but it was very busy and the food came out quickly. It is a little pricey but it’s totally worth it for a nice dinner out. Would 100% recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Breakfast pizza!

Having been once so far to their nearby Deli for an excellent sandwich, I was keen to visit the restaurant. I had the fabulous Breakfast Pizza and a “virgin Marta” cocktail, which was garnished with lemon, dill, olives and cucumber slices. (Too bad they use plastic straws.) What a satisfying meal! The pizza had scrambled tofu, cheese, prosciutto, crispy capers and rocket on a good, thin crust - $22. I carried away two leftover pieces and enjoyed them just as much later, at room temperature. They were doing a brisk business at midday Saturday. I will go again to try more of the menu. Wish they were open all day on weekdays too.

Pros: all vegan

Cons: not open every day, not open for weekday lunch

Used to be better

This place used to tick all the boxes in terms of flavour and service. The star wasn't as welcoming as in the past and the food I have to say was tasty but not mind-blowing although very expensive for the area. The dishes have a lot of salt or fillers or something that made our all group really gassy.
I would probably give it another go in a while when I feel like a cheat meal, not anytime soon.

Pros: Nice vibe, Good presentation

Cons: Service used to be better, Food used to be better too, $$$

Best ever tofu scramble

Most delicious tofu scramble I’ve ever had, had to buy the cookbook so I could make it at home as well!

Ok

I loved the vibe of the place but the food wasn’t as amazing as I would expect (maybe I ordered the wrong dish). It’s a bit overpriced too, but that’s the area :)

On the fence.

I've been a couple of times but not overly impressed as everything seems quite overly seasoned, high in fodmaps, not frrsh/customisable. Over priced.

Pros: All vegan. Great bar selection.

Cons: Expensive. Not fodmap friendly. Overly seasoned.

Best scrambled eggs ever

Came in here randomly on our walk through fitzroy. Ordered the scrambled eggs and salad both of which were devine. The eggs were so creamy and silky even my non vegan boyfriend was suprised. Will return to explore the rest of the menu.

Pros: vegan scrambled eggs🤤, good portion sizes

Cons: expensive

Amazing food!!

I had dinner and drinks and it was all delicious! We shared the Parma potatoe, (a crumbled baked potatoe with a cheese filling $16) bolognese and beans, (small dish covered in Parmesan and served with garlic focaccia) and pasta with meatballs topped with ricotta and a vodka tomato sauce. It was all amazing!! The pasta sauce and ricotta were so good.
For dessert i had a hot chocolate affogato ($12) and shared a ‘mount Vesuvius’ which was their version of a bomb Alaska($16). It had a chocolate base, ice cream and covered in Meringue which is burnt at your table.
Friendly service though there was a bit of a wait for food as they were trying a new menu for the first time that night. definitely book a table!!! We booked for 6 and when shown to our table they told us we had until 7:30. At 6:15 they were at capacity.
It was an expensive night though we did order a lot and enjoyed it all. Will definitely be back when in Melbourne.

Pros: good service, delicious food

Cons: expensive

Tasty with Lots of Options but not Very Warm

I found this place to tick all the boxes in terms of having a good variety on the menu but it didn’t have an overly friendly or accommodating feel. Staff weren’t rude as such but I didn’t feel they were warm or inviting. Food was tasty but not mind-blowing and given the location it was fairly expensive. I would probably give it another go but I’m not going to race there again in a hurry.

Pros: All vegan menu

Cons: Staff a little stand-offish

good but maybe overrated

i do like this place but it's a bit... fancy or something for me. have always loved the food every time i've been but i am not sure about the atmosphere. i always feel underdressed or maybe not cool enough. this place is for cool vegans i don't think i'm one of them lol.

Creative and tasty food

Was here on a Friday night with non-veg colleagues and, hands-down, we all loved the food. Many of their dishes are designed for sharing and we ordered the Cheese Gratin, Meatballs, Gnocci, Caesar Salad, and Mini Pizzas. A common theme across dishes appears to be the use of ample cheese, in particular, a vegan Parmesan. Drinks were great and, in the end, the meal wasn’t horribly expensive (I’ve no idea if my colleagues promptly went for fast food afterwards but I was stuffed!). You’ll need a reservation at peak times. We were squeezed in at the bar and that worked well.

Don't miss it

Dinner at Smith & Daughters was one of the highlights of our stint in Melbourne. We had actually received a dinner there as a wedding gift :)

My husband and I loved everything about it: The location, the decor - and most of all, the food. We shared a plate of chips (because we love chips), Brussels sprouts the tortilla and something very cheesy and amazing that I don't remember the name of.

The portions were very generous and we took leftovers home with us for a late-night snack.

Pros: Scrumptious food, trendy decor, attentive staff, well-sized portions

OUTSTANDING

Such a must visit restaurant. The food is innovative and constantly evolving. The drinks menu is fantastic and service is highly attentive. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and attention to detail of every dish. Overall I would high recommend.

Overrated

I think this place is overrated, I've visited several times but I don't find the food that delicious. I love the restaurant ambiance, staff are friendly & good service. However, I'd visit other vegan restaurants located nearby instead if I'd choose.

Fantastic delicious place!

I totally fell in live with this place! I went for dinner and already had a hard time deciding what to eat, because the menu sounds so delicious and in fact everything we ate was so good. The sweet highlight was definitely the chocolate tart! Absolutely worth visiting!

Repeat customer!

We were only in Melbourne for 2 nights but we stopped here for breakfast having previously eaten takeout from Smith and Deli....ended up having dinner here too as we loved it so much! Lovely chilled and friendly space, innovative menu and every dish a winner. Book ahead if you want a private table but communal dining can be a lot of fun too. Lots of Smith and Daughters merchandise on sale too from recipe books to tote bags and t shirts. Extensive bar menu for the drinkers amongst us!

very hip, great buzz, all vegan

This is the tattoo, hip, cool cocktails end of veganism. Good and interesting Latin American food, good bar, everything vegan. Very cool vibe. If this is what you are after (and i am) then I highly recommend. I ate here alone on a work trip and it's cool to sit at bar alone and eat.

Pros: all vegan, super cool

Cons: not kid friendly (nor should it be as a cool bar)
