Being vegan for nearly five years, I have noticed drastic changes in the accessibility and fanciness of vegan food. The days when people thought vegan food only consist of salads and seeds are far behind! Plant-based foods can take all shapes and forms, and I guarantee you that you may not be able to tell some meals are vegan in a blind taste.
Let me introduce you to 10 vegan restaurants you must try in Sydney. Forget the old dry veggie patty - I guarantee you won’t be skeptical about vegan food after trying those places.

| 1. I Should be Souvlaki Fan of mock meats, garlicky sauces and delicious wraps? Souvlaki got you covered! I swear even the hardest “carnivores” will succumb to the flavours of the signature Souvlaki. Recommendation: Mix (Soy-based “lamb” and “chicken”) Signature Souvlaki. Address: 399 King St, Newtown |  |
| 2. Golden Lotus Probably the best Vietnamese vegan restaurant in Sydney. Impressive variety of dishes, great service, and delicious. Recommendation: Laksa, chef’s recommendations. Address: 341 King St, Newtown |  |
| 3. Yulli’s While Yulli’s is mostly known for their brewery, they also make delicious food! The dishes are delicate, beautifully presented, and flavourful (especially with a freshly brewed beer). Recommendation: San Choy Bow, Pizza Address: 417 Crown St, Surry Hills |  |
| 4. Shift Eatery Who doesn’t like toasties? These ones taste like no other! The whole staff is vegan, and the food is fresh and flavourful. Recommendation: The Reuben’s vegan brother, Steve Address: 2/241 Commonwealth St, Surry Hills |  |
| 5. Nutie Craving sweets? Nutie has the best treats around the area. Recommendation: Strawberry cheesecake, Donuts Address: 44 Holt St, Surry Hills |  |
| 6. Lonely Mouth Have you tried RaRa ramen and loved it? Well, folks from RaRa made a fully-vegan version of their restaurant – Lonely Mouth. There are not many options in the menu, but even to fulfill your stomach! Recommendation: TanTanmen, Sunflower & Hempseed Shoyu Address: 275 Australia St, Newtown |  |
| 7. Gigi Pizzeria Authentic Napoletana-style, woodfired pizza. I don’t think I need to say anything else! Recommendation: Calzone con Melanzane, Lasagna Address: 379 King St, Newtown |  |
| 8. La Petite Fauxmagerie Before you say that “Vegan cheese is boring” – try this place! Fetta, mozzarella, ricotta, blue, brie, halloumi – options are endless, and they will blow your mind! Recommendation: I am not of big fan of cheese, so I haven’t tried this place myself. It is, however, highly recommended by cheese-lovers! Address: 412 King St, Newtown |  |
| 9. Oh My Days Being French, I used to miss croissants and other pastries. Not anymore! Oh My Days has a great variety of pastries and they taste really authentic. Recommendation: “Bacon” & “cheese” croissant, Almond croissant Address: 99 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe |  |
| 10. Soul Burger Soul Burger is probably the best option around campus if you are craving for burgers. Ingredients are fresh, and the burgers blook and taste amazing! Recommendation: Sydney Sider, Southern Fried “chicken” Address: 49 Perouse Rd, Randwick |  |
