Tasty Vegetarian Fare - The Vege bar












The Vege bar is one of my favourite places to visit when I return to Melbourne. It is now a tradition for my sister's, my niece and nephew and I to do lunch here whenever we are all together.
A large open warehouse-style cafe
by day and restaurant by night; The Vege bar serves a simple all-vegetarian menu with a few easy wine's to choose from. Situated in the heart of the bustling tram-lined Brunswick street. Modern day hippies, young mums, professionals and people from all walks of life frequent this much loved iconic Melbourne strip. It oozes a new style of chic, its non pretentious or stuffy, which is why it's loved by most Melbourne folk. People watching is a favoured pastime for many and if there was an epicentre of unique characters then Brunswick St would hit the nail on the head! There seems to be an invisible buzz hovering playfully over this street, you never quite know what to expect next. Warm, fun and unassuming are words which spring to mind, its warmth is infectious and it is hard to resist such a unique place!
Inside at the Vege bar you can choose to sit at one of the large front window's and watch all the cruisy-cool Melbournians walk by or perhaps one of the soft side bench seats or the over sized communal tables is more your taste.
This is not your average tasteless spinach serving vegetarian restaurant! Your meat-loving beau won't even know the mini dim sims and spring rolls wrapped in crisp ice-berg lettuce for entree are meat-free! A few fav's include the warm lentil roti wrap and the Mexican burrito but you cant go past their scrumptious pizza's. Go with some friends and share a few dishes to delight your taste buds. You can then do lunch or dinner on a budget and then cruise across the road to Trampoline for dessert, which serves some yummy gelato.

Enjoy!
