The Best Vegan and Vegetarian Spots in Perth, Australia

On a quest to improve the health of sedentary office workers, Eat Drink Raw have been delivering raw vegan delights to offices across the metropolitan area since the beginning of 2016. They also deliver to homes or you can takeaway or dine in too.

The strawberries and cream smoothie bowl, kale slaw with a smokey BBQ walnut crumble, raw Pad Thai and raw pizzas are favourites. You won’t undo all that goodness even if you indulge in a raw vegan Snickers bar or peanut butter cup for dessert. Expect to find healthy serves of kombucha, coconut water, raw cold pressed juices and organic coffee on the drinks menu.

The Raw Kitchen is a one-stop healthy shop, and includes a plant-based restaurant, ethical store Zero, a Kombucha microbrewery and yoga school Yogalab.

Set within a industrial-style space, you won’t find dairy, gluten, sugar or additives on the menu. Start with a herbal elixir shot, followed by an artisan cheese board or Asian bowl, salad greens or pulled jackfruit burger. Boost your smoothie with protein powder or coconut oil or try a cold-pressed juice. The restaurant is fully licensed and serves a fine selection of South Australian and local wines, as well as sustainable ciders and gluten-free beers. It’s also worth trying the handcrafted elixirs brewed onsite designed to boost the immune system, digestion, joy and longevity.

Time it right and join a yoga session beneath the high-pitched ceiling at the Yogalab. Or sample one of the workshops, lectures or film nights to learn the art of creating your own raw vegan creations and lifestyle.

If all mums served their cauliflower like Meeka Restaurant they might not have to cajole their children into eating their vegetables. With its blend of Middle Eastern and Australian flavours, Meeka isn’t strictly a vegetarian restaurant but it has such a fine selection of vegetarian options that it’ll be easy to lure (and potentially convert) even the most die-hard carnivores, if only for a night.

Vegetarian favourites include tagines, house-made ricotta, dukkah, hummus, edamame salad and more. Dessert options will test your commitment to vegetarianism, with apple-lemon-cardamom-sour cherry doughnuts and Meeka chocolate mousse pyramid.

As one of their many awards includes the Australian Wine List of the Year Award, there’s a wonderful selection of drops to complement those exotic flavours. And, you can even leave it up to sommelier Navneet Singh to make those all important decisions.

Always a hive of health nuts spilling out onto pavement dining, as the name suggests the Veggie Mama serves up a vegetarian menu with a healthy range of gluten-egg-dairy free options too. Dedicated to clean living, the protein pattie burgers, vegan bagels, salads, coconut curries and sweet treats feature regularly on the seasonal menu. Dogs and little people add to the wholesome vibe.

With their unprocessed, organic, locally sourced, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, the misspelling of our fair city is forgivable at Pearth Organic Kitchen. Styled in crisp white, you already feel healthier even before sampling the menu. Start the day with a coconut and beetroot pancake or Bombay chickpea omelette; lunch consists of macro bowls and healthy burgers with a side of sweet potato chips. Naturally, there’s plenty of cleansing smoothies and organic juices to wash down all that goodness.
