Stumbled across this gem of a place!

What can I say… how amazing. These guys are all so lovely that work here, and passionate about serving amazing wholesome food. The lasagne was the best I’ve ever had. I just hope I’ll be back that way to try all the other things on the menu!
Support this small amazing business and visit here!

Great dedicated kitchen staff

Great for lunch or cuppa. The house made Turmeric latte is much better that you usual commercial norm. I usually take it without sweetener but it has recently been more bitter so I now ask for a smidgen of honey. Savoury options are delicious ... and the cakes are generous and yummy! Cheerful service. Choice of sitting in peaceful back courtyard, inside, or street.

Pros: Lovely back yard, Generous portions, House made turmeric latte

Cons: Latte sometimes a little bitter

Lismore Vegan food

The Garden Plate offers an arrangement of fresh vegan food, especially their salads as they are all cruelty free and a handful of desserts that’s keep you going!
Unfortunately I now don’t support them anymore as I had a [censored] experience with them this year (2020 and the new “normal’ changed their attitude.... maybe the staff need to become Vegan for compassion towards others)
They have competition now so I can still eat if I choose from Cardomon Pod ;near Flock

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Good for a quick bite , Reasonably priced

Cons: Had bad customer service last time I went , They have competition now as CardamonPod has set

Pros: Everything on the menu can be ordered vegan , Nice big portions & tasty af , Superb coffee

Cons: Not open on the weekends, Not many seating options on a cold rainy day, Food is too good makes u want 2 eat here everyday

Good vegan/veg options in a meat heavy area.

Was happy to have access to some vegan/veg food in the countryside! Friendly service, a reasonable selection. At least 3 vegan dishes on the menu.
Had the vegan deep fried chikn' burger. Was good. Burger was loaded with salad and with a nice aioli sauce. They dont have side items (such as fries, rice or Salad etc) and was just the burger on the plate. Which is why i rated 5 out of 5.

Cons: No lunch side items.

Great coffee

Nice quiet place to eat, friendly staff and great almond milk coffee.
Were even helpful with my request to have a takeaway salad with my Mediterranean pie, my daughter loved it too but she was disappointed we couldn't use the food court due to wet weather. Great friendly place to eat

Wish it was open on weekends

Only been here once as unfortunately it's only open on the weekdays so it's hard for me to get there.

I had the vegan lasagna with salad which was nice.

They have quite a few vegan options to choose from and if it's open this place is a better choice than other places close by...

Pros: Nice food, Outdoor area

Cons: Not open on weekends

Lovely Garden and Veg Food in Lismore

The Garden Plate is a nice, unassuming place for breakfast or lunch, weekedays in Lismore. All food is reasonably priced, vegan options are available and food is freshly prepared on the premises.
The staff are genuine and friendly and they have a lovely garden area out the back where you can enjoy your food and drinks.
Being just around the corner from my work, I have had a takeaway lunch here on several occasions. They have delicious lentil burgers, arancini rice balls and usually a few specials, soups, curry etc.

Best vegan café food in Lismore

Lismore is reasonably vegan friendly in most eateries, but this is the best vegan food I've had in town for sure. The vegan lasagne is cheesy and delicious, the corn fritters and salads are fresh and tasty, and the vegan share plate is good food and good value. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Lismore.

Pros: Lots of vegan options labelled

Cons: Not all vegan
