Best Vegan Restaurants in Queensland

"Pancake cravings always seem to hit after midnight and the pancake Manor has every option under the sun to satisfy the quintessential late-night food craving. Located conveniently in the Brisbane CBD in what was previously a church building, the restaurant offers the perfect mix of contemporary vibes and old school charm. They also offer gluten-free pancakes."

"An oldie but a goodie, The Pancake Manor has been serving up fun pancake treats – both sweet and savoury – since us parents were wee tackers. And they’re still magnificent. They’ve got a zillion different variations on the simple pancake – plus they cater for gluten-free and vegan requirements."

"In 1979, the former St Luke's Church of England on Charlotte St saw the light and embraced the one true deity of pancakes."

"Sassafrass’ ricotta hotcakes are so legendary up in here that there’d be a mad riot if they ever disappeared from the menu!. Sassing your tastebuds with their own house-made honeycomb butter and topped off with organic maple syrup, they sure do stack up against our measure."

"Decadent house-made honeycomb butter atop soft ricotta hotcakes drizzled with maple syrup. Best believe we’re adding crispy bacon and grilled banana, as they suggest."

"No vegan restaurant round-up is complete without The Green Edge!. Arguably the most iconic vegan destination in Brisbane, this restaurant offers a hearty menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner that even a carnivore could happily chow down on. If you’re there during the day time, you can also shop up a storm in the grocery section."

"Located outside of the city in Windsor, the Green Edge is a family owned business dedicated to providing the means for people to make ethical choices in their daily lives, through their cafe and grocery store."

"Brisbane's northside is very fortunate to be the home of The Green Edge, our largest vegan grocery store and cafe"

"A small, family owned business, Ciao Gelato specialised in traditional Italian gelato with an Australian spin. Offering a wide range of artisan gelato flavours, they let customers be their inspiration with a new customer suggested flavour launched every week. Other unique offerings include the Fit-Lato which is a low calorie, high protein, low sugar creamy desert of their own making."

"A great suburban gelateria in its own right, Ciao Gelato really made a name for itself with its range of vegan-friendly sweets. Their rice milk, coconut milk, and almond milk-based desserts are great for vegans who have had enough of watery sorbets, and Ciao also happens to be the brains behind Fit-Lato!"

"While friendly for all ice cream lovers, Ciao Gelato gets a special shout-out for its dairy-free and vegan range. From your classic vegan fruit flavours to fancier options such as peanut butter fudge brownie and caramel cookie dough, it’s a winner. They also look after gluten- and nut-free needs."

"Opened in 1884, Beenleigh Artisan Distillery is Australia’s original rum, and the Gold Coast’s longest running hospitality establishment. Using small batch copper pot distillation, Beenleigh rum is aged in handmade oak barrels to gain complexity. Not only has the distillery won ‘World’s Best Rum’, it also won silver and bronze medals at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition 2016."

"This is a well-known heritage-listed rum distillery located in Eagleby, Queensland. This was built way back in 1890 until 1980. As one of the oldest operating distilleries in the country, it is also surrounded by the rum distillery and sugarcane industry history."

"Located on top of The Point Brisbane Hotel at Kangaroo Point, this rooftop bar is somewhat a hidden gem. Only open during weekends, there is an exclusiveness to Eagles Nest, both in availability and in feel. From the 12th floor terrace you get lovely views over the Brisbane skyline and the river, especially around sunset, which is absolutely amazing from up here."

"The cocktail list at Nest, on Roma Street, is insanely good. I’ve tried a LOT of them and loved each and every single one, with my favourites being their Royal Tea and Espresso Martini."

"Initially opening in Teneriffe in 2012, La Macelleria is the real Italian deal!. The owners, both called Matteo (not kidding) are committed to crafting authentic, Bologna-style gelato, offering classic Italian flavours like fior di latte, crema Bologna, and new favourites like raspberry cheesecake. With four venues (Teneriffe, West End, King Street and Coorparoo) they’re never too far away–especially on a hot day."

"Cake and ice-cream are absolute necessities in time of need and in time of play and La Macelleria Gelateria has Brisbane covered during the coronavirus chaos. You can now order from Uber Eats and Deliveroo your go-to flavour of gelato, sorbet, shakes and cakes. Explore their menu and go on and treat yourself!"

"From Bologna to Brisbane, La Macelleria gelataria dishes up delicious traditional Italian gelato, sorbetto and Segafredo espresso. Located on Florence Street in trendy Teneriffe, La Macelleria is the brainchild of two Matteos"
