Best Vegan Restaurants in New South Wales

"The team behind this Newtown eatery are established masters of American cuisine and verified wizards with a charcoal grill. The crew at Hartsyard take an enticingly different approach to Southern essentials, as evident in dishes like the smoked pork jowl or the BBQ duck. For the indecisive among us, they also offer a ‘chef’s menu’ option, a showcase of the best of the a la carte offerings."

"Plating here is a little fancier, the pricing is a little pricier, but the food is well worth the funds. Look at those biscuits and gravy!. Must try: Beyond their notorious desserts, their fried chicken is a definite must."

"WoolloomoolooHead Chef Matthew Kenny switched to a plant-based diet a little over 15 years ago and is now a master at creating the dishes we all know and love, but making it vegan. Alibi is the colourful restaurant inside Ovolo Woolloomooloo, which acts as a bar and restaurant at different times of the day. The set dinner menu is by far the favourite."

"The plush red décor at this restaurant serving Pakistani-Indian dishes from the Mughal tradition takes its cue from the name, which means ‘red fort’. Toss poppadums aside and go with the exotic Paani Poori and Paneer Tikka for starters, then try Lal Qila’s specialty Handie – meat of your choice slow-cooked in clay pots, or the Sultani Nalli – tender baby lamb shanks with meat falling off the bone. Soak up the gravy with basmati pulao or biryani or breads served piping hot from the tandoor (try the delicious cheese and chili naan)."

"Booked for Valentine's Day, it was a great deal at $85 per person. The food was excellent. The accompanying matching wine offer was at $60 per person seemed too steep."

The laneway Mexican restaurant has put together five different set menus available for delivery and pick-up, each proportioned for 2 people, and each nicely priced at $65. You can peep the menus on their Instagram page (@estebansydney), with dishes like spinach & queso tamales with jalapeno cream and pistachio, and achiote grilled lamb shoulder with salsa borracha."

"Legendary laneway Mexican joint, Esteban is offering five carefully curated set menus for takeaway and delivery within a 5km radius of the CBD. Each menu (priced between $65-$85) is portioned for two and features some of their restaurant quality signature dishes. Think Byron Bay pork belly, half chickens, spinach and queso tamales, achiote grilled lamb shoulder, sweet potato tart and dark chocolate fondant."

"Surry HillsThis Mexican inspired vegan eatery will make you rethink your taco choices. The dimly lit, artsy space with exposed brick sets the scene for the casual dining experience, with not so casual flavours. Because everything on the menu is vegan, expect mushroom Peruvian ceviche instead of kingfish and quesadillas stuffed with creamy “Oaxaca cheese.” The tacos are a crowd pleaser and come in four flavours including baja jackfruit, miso eggplant, chipotle potato, and mushroom with cashew cream."

"We love a good greasy delivery as much as the next person but, sometimes it can be nice to have a break and move onto something plant-based. Bad Hombres and Chef Greg Molinaro have designed a delicious plant-based, vegan, gluten free menu which doesn’t skimp of flavour. Make sure you order up their delicious charred chipotle corn, Bad Hombres cauliflower with cashew crema, and their eggplant crocante with delicious sauces."
