Amazing onion rings - Edit
My friends and I went here after I ran the Melbourne half marathon. Such good food, especially the onion rings. I actually had wanted sweet potato fries but they were out so I went with onion rings instead. I was not disappointed with the substitution. I was a little bummed that they did not have a true veggie burger (only a mushroom burger and faux-meat burgers). I got the mushroom which had fried cheese on it. It was good but I really wanted like a black bean burger or something. My friends all enjoyed their meals as well.
Read morePros: Onion Rings, nice staff, nice atmosphere
Cons: no true veggie burgers

Amazing burgers! - Edit
We stopped here on our way to the Great Ocean Road, we had the smoked tofu and quinoa burger and the Big Mac burger with onion rings and fries. It was incredible. I would move to Melbourne to eat here all the time.

Good not great - Edit
I wanted to like this place since they have many vegan options, are open on Mondays unlike other Melbourne establishments. However, if you are single they force you to sit on bar stools near drafty door or at a communal table. I ordered vegan nachos and a kombucha. I would have liked more vegan cheese on the nachos - the way they are served at most bars, these were satisfying but I wouldn't order again or rave about it.
Read morePros: open Monday
Cons: no table service for singles

food good but atmosphere just ok - Edit
This is all vegetarian but the last time I went it wasn't super vegan friendly. Food is delicious but I really don't like the atmosphere as you always seem to have to wait ages and then get stuck on a communal table with inattentive staff. I know it's not their fault they are busy but it has put me off returning.

Lunch spot - Edit
The food is delicious but I'm not convinced it's the most affordable and most delicious combo in this area. They offer a great menu and the dessert bar next door compliments the dining experience.

Distinctly average - Edit
Heard great things about Vegie Bar but was suspicious of such an eclectic menu; indeed it turned out that the food was extremely average. I had the Virtuoso vegan pizza (tomato and pesto, vegan cheese, spinach, caramelised onion, pumpkin, and cherry tomatoes) which had it not been for the cheese would have been totally tasteless - the base was thin but tasted of rice crackers, the cherry tomatoes were undercooked, and the pumpkin was unseasoned.
Read moreMy partner had the Tofu and Quinoa burger which didn't hold together and was quite small, seemingly served on a brown (apparently kamut) roll. The chips were good otherwise overall a fairly small, overpriced and uninspiring dish.
Neither of us felt enthused enough to stay for dessert.
Pros: Bustling and lively, Varied menu
Cons: Not all vegan, Bland, average food, Portions on the small side

Consistently delicious - Edit
This place has been delicious every time I've been there over the past 14 years... It was scrumptious again last night when I enjoyed a vegan samosa and Penang curry with roti... They have lots of vegan options and I like the atmosphere of the place.

Delicious food but very noisy - Edit
I have been there twice. Both time I ordered a vegan pizza. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly but it is always very busy. It was very noisy and hard to have a conversation.

Good food, very noisy place - Edit
I cannot complain about the food at all - all vegan and the Thali I had was absolutely great. Service was quick and friendly as well. The only problem is the place itself - it is a very large room, which gets crowded in the evenings. It is very noisy and hectic in there. I was alone and had to sit at the communal table, which is unfortunately next to the entrance.

DELICOUS - Edit
I have been here a few times and I just adore the food and the atmosphere. I would highly recommend their pizzas with vegan cheese, roti wraps and noodles!! I love their generous food sizes and that everything can be made vegan. YUM!

Probably wouldn't go back - Edit
This place is the essence of those "hip" city places. Fine if you are into that but I didn't like their attitude on a few things. Found the energy pretty arrogant. No you can't take your leftovers with you. No you can't substitute a topping on your pizza for another without paying a charge. I hate that ungenerous attitude. The staff were fine...not their fault...it's the restaurants policy that stinks. The food was only ok in my opinion too...we had a pizza...not much topping.
Read morePros: good vibe if you like bustling, menu has some interesting choices
Cons: Annoying policies - no substitutions, food was average

Overhyped - Edit
Despite all the Vegie Bar love, the two times I've eaten here (several years apart, but the last was just a few weeks ago) I've failed to be overly impressed. It's good, but in my experience, it's just not as good as it's made out to be, especially considering the crowds.
Read moreCons: They charge extra for soy, Can be hard to get a table for dinner

The best ever vegan pizza of my life - Edit
I could only visit Vegie Bar once during my recent visit to Melbourne - but I don't think I will forget it. They have an extensive menu with many vegan options. I decided to try one of the two vegan pizzas - and it was delicious. I don't remember how it was called but it had pumpkin, spinach, cherry tomatoes and vegan cheese. The combination was amazing. The dessert, chocolate cake, was also very good, but the pizza was really special.
Read moreLooking forward to trying other dishes in my next visit to Melbourne.

one of my favourites in Fitzroy! - Edit
this place is just all round a fantastic option. they're good at handling groups, lots of options for gluten free, nice atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable! the pizzas are phenomenal (definitely recommending the temperoni) and the other not-raw mains are delicious and good value. the vegan desserts are all fantastic, its great how some are under $5. and everyone was happy! we all really enjoyed it and I know that I will definitely be coming back. thanks Veggie Bar!

Great food! - Edit
The Vegie Bar has amazing food, it's really great to find places that are totally vegetarian. I got the raw pad Thai, it was delicious and had heaps of flavour too, then another time I had a sharing plate for lunch with a friend and that was amazing too, every time I've been I've had great food. Some nights it does get really busy and you can't book :( so it does get pretty noisy but you have to go there for the food!!
Read morePros: Caters for all, veg, vegan, GF etc

Great if you're having a big night out - Edit
If you go at dinner, expect to wait 30-45 minutes for a table. There is a bar area out the back where you can have a few while you wait. 3 beers and a g&t later, we were seated. Curries were average. Vegan nachos were the bomb. Best place if you're going out for diner and plenty of drinks :)

my favourite place - Edit
It's our go-to place for dinner or lunch! I started visiting about 2 years ago and have been at least 50 times and have almost tried everything on the menu (have had my favourites SO MANY TIMES). Mostly greens with tahini is my favourite! And the rice balls! My boyfriend loves the vegan nachos. Never disappointing, always satisfying and good value for money!
Read morePros: big meals , cheap , delicious
Cons: busy! but that doesn't bother me!

Always a hit - Edit
I try and go to Vegie Bar whenever I visit Melbourne and it's always satisfying. Visited most recently last Saturday night. Being a Saturday night we had to wait for a table but that was fine and we ended up just eating outside anyway. Staff were great and even though it was packed our food came out quick. My non vegan husband said his Schezwan noodles (from the specials menu) was one of the best dishes he's ever had. I always choose the vegan nachos and they never disappoint.

The Vegan's McDonalds - Edit
Yes, Vegie Bar does vegan and yes, they are generous serves, but with so many awesome options in Brunswick, why bother? I've been going (or usually brought in a group) to VB for over eight years. Their staff are nearly always inattentive and don't know the menu. The food is often slapped on the plate with poor attention to flavour and presentation. I often feel like I'm in a large feeding barn when I'm there. If there's nothing else open then it will be adequate, but with Yongs, Transformer, Smith and Daughters etc. so close, I'd give VB a miss.
Read morePros: generous sizing, wide selection
