Best Vegan Restaurants in City of Parramatta Council

"There is no denying Hartsyard's heritage; it is palpably American in taste, substance and style. As soon as you push open the glass door, the smell of hickory smoked pork greets you with open arms. You'd be forgiven for thinking you had mistakenly stumbled across a classic American backyard cook-out, but that's what’s beautiful about this Newtown newcomer."

"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."

"Restaurants Modern Australian Newtown"

"Fans were up in arms when this pizzeria went vegan in 2015, until everyone realised the new style of pies were actually very, very good. Pizzas are of the traditional Neapolitan variety – there's a fantastic marinara or you can get a little crazy with a funghi pizza topped with swiss browns and a dairy-free blue cheese made from cashews that's way better than it has any right to be. 379 King St, Newtown, gigipizzeria.com.au"

"NewtownGigi Pizzeria is a little famous pizza joint in Newtown, known for slinging traditional Napoletana slices. In 2015, owner Marco Mattino decided to take all animal products off the menu and has since been known as the best vegan pizza joint in Sydney. Pizza lovers can expect creative combinations such as thinly sliced roasted potatoes with truffle, broccoli and beyond sausage, and eggplant with mushrooms."

"Hours: Tue-Sun 6am-11:30pmAddress: 379, King Street, NewtownPhone: +61295572224Website: http://www.gigipizzeria.com.au/.

When the restaurant decided to get rid of cheese in 2015, they became a 100% plant-based pizzeria."

"Glebe, Newtown, and RandwickVegan and vegetarian burgers have grown in popularity ever since the beyond burger popped into the scene. Some say it’s the patty that remarkably resembles meat, others say it is the thrill of eating a burger that’s all plant-based. Whatever the reasoning, Soul Burger is a vegan burger joint to try."

"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."

"Alibi is the latest plant-based restaurant to arrive at designer hotel Ovolo Woolloomooloo. The bespoke cocktail menu takes its inspiration from local and international flavours, serving up new classics and old favourites. Alibi is the ideal place to impress, challenge, and welcome your senses to the world of plant-based fine-dining."

"Starting with probably the best coffee in Sydney is the Fine Food Store, located in the corner of Mill Lane and Kendall lane. Their single origin home brewed coffee has been serving visitors for the past decade be it for a coffee enthusiast or for someone looking to grab one on the go. Offering rotating seasonal blends, such as the ‘Sweet lady’ along with Melbourne’s own Sensory Lab roast, they pride themselves in serving the highest standard of coffee and one of the best cafes in Sydney CBD."

"Tucked away in The Rocks’ oldest laneway, The Fine Food Store is a hidden gem and a bit of a local secret, beloved by its neighbours for over a decade. From cold-brewed to single origin espresso, The Fine Food Store prides itself on quality at every step, from sourcing and green bean buying to roasting and brewing. All of the coffee here is roasted in-house, and with a rotating menu of single-origin brews, every day is different."

"Kendall Lane is the oldest alleyway in the Rocks, and it provides the atmospheric settings for one of Sydney’s best brunch spots. Everyone can find a dish they’ll love on the Fine Food Store’s lengthy menu – there’s a long list of breakfast classics to enjoy until midday on weekdays and 3pm on weekends, plus a stack of tasty wraps and sandwiches available in the afternoon."

"Located within St Peters Precinct 75, Willie the Boatman is the neighbourhood brewery and liquor store. This laid-back micro-brewery is popular with the locals for an after-work beverage, both sit in and takeaway. From Thursday to Sunday The Tasting Room is open to the public and come the weekend, food trucks provide the perfect beer snacks."

"An established Northern Beaches brewery with outposts scattered around the Northern Beaches. At the brewery in Brookvale, the Truck Bar (literally fashioned from a 1960 Dodge pickup truck) is the place to be, with Thursdays being game night. Giant Jenga and shuffleboard anyone?"

"Young Henry’s are the trendsetters in the Inner West brewery scene. They have a well-earned reputation for their top-notch brews and community vibe. The Tasting Bar is open seven days a week and on the weekend, you can expect a crowd basking in the beer, beats and bites."

"A summer essential for any Sydneysider, Camp Cove Swims’ colourful bikinis have been the go-to for a more sustainable beachside look since 2013. Produced down the coast in Jervis Bay, this brand is not only made locally but is designed to minimise its impact on the planet. Created with longevity front of mind, the lining of Camp Cove togs is made from regenerated nylon from rescued fishing nets that were heading for landfill."

"Escape from the crowds with a day spent at the secluded, picturesque Camp Cove. Nestled in Sydney Harbour’s National Park, near South Head, this hidden gem boasts harbour views and calm waters. This tranquil, relaxed environment makes Camp Cove the ideal spot to swim, snorkel, kayak or even scuba dive."

"Secluded, rarely crowded, and relaxed, Camp Cove is perhaps the most underrated of Sydney’s beaches. But that’s okay, because it simply means you’re likely to have a generous patch of sand all to yourself. Pack your snorkel, as the calm water makes for prime skin diving conditions."

"A gorgeous spot for families with one of the biggest playgrounds in Sydney set among three hectares of rolling hills and big open spaces. The playground caters for kids of all ages and abilities with a fantastic water play area (the largest outdoor water play facility in NSW), moving play elements, high and steep landforms and hidden and confined spaces. There’s a double flying fox, mega-swing, tunnel slides, scramble wall, spinning play disk, Viking swing and a multi-level tree house to be discovered and enjoyed."

"Blaxland Riverside Park is a hugely popular pocket of parkland in Sydney Olympic Park, home to a unique play space with various play areas for children. The park is spread over three hectares, and besides the play areas, the park also offers walking and cycling paths, picnic areas, a waterfront cafe, and so much more. Note that while there is a large car parking area at Blaxland Riverside Park, during weekends this area can fill up very quickly."

"Blaxland Riverside Park Play Space was one of the first Sydney Playgrounds to think big when designing a playground that would continue to be exciting for kids after their first, twelfth and even fiftieth visit. We’ve always called it Teletubbies park for its interesting rolly polly constructed hills. It has that park feel about it."

"In the divine Vaucluse area, Nielsen Park is an idyllic spot for a nature walk or sun-soaked afternoon overlooking the beautiful harbour. Known for its incredible outdoor picnic spots, the park includes three sheltered barbecue and food areas."
