Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Adelaide

"Popular for its vegetarian cuisine, Two-Bit Villains (TBV) burst onto the Adelaide food scene at the right time. With an atmosphere that’s quirky and one-of-a-kind, TBV is perhaps known best for their handcrafted sodas – and deservedly so!. Made completely with real fruit and spices, your first taste will leave you craving for more."

"The original Sarah’s cafe first opened in 1978 — years before anyone in Australia knew what a ‘carbon footprint’ was — and is still harnessing the same fresh, local and seasonal produce as it did four decades ago. This Semaphore Rd pavilion cafe also teams up with local schools to educate kids on sustainable cooking, proving that environmentally friendly food doesn’t have to compromise flavour."

"Some proper wholesome vegan cooking that is comfort food at its very best. Dishes like their take on Shepard’s Pie below will have you hooked from the very first mouthful. Add in great service and a large selection of exciting drinks and you will soon become a regular if you live in the area."

"A post shared by Nutrition Republic™ (@nutritionrepublic) on Feb 10, 2017 at 1:52pm PST. The name says it all. This family-run business delivers beautiful and nutritious wholefoods."

"Salem is a small vegan-friendly cafe that aims to make the most of what nature provides. They serve up great sandwiches and burgers including The “HELLFISH” (Seen below). It features tempura and nori battered tofu with herbed Tartare Sauce and greens and is a thing of absolute beauty."

"A post shared by Salem Cafe (Sass) (@salemcafe) on Mar 23, 2018 at 1:32am PDT. Smoked, grilled and boozed vegan sandwiches that can mostly be ordered gluten-free. 2/647 Marion Road Ascot Park, SA 5043"

"You can choose from a range of hand crafted patties which include: Spinach quinoa, Beetrice, Dill & lemon, Veggo classic or vegan chicken. As you sink your teeth into one of these bad boys you’ll be seriously satisfied, and leave the place with a huge smile on your face. Top-class vegan cooking."

"Just less than 20 minutes south of Mantra on Frome on foot is a Chinese-style restaurant specialising in vegetarian food, with a faux-meat twist. Meesu Vegetarian Kitchen offers a variety of Chinese dishes, many of which are made with mock meat produce. They don't just serve vegetarian-friendly beef and chicken, however, you can also get fish dishes - such as 'squid' rings - as well."

"This isn’t the first time the restaurant has made an appearance on our list. This time, it is for their delicious and famous vegetarian options. Truly, this is one of the best dining spots in Adelaide."

"Not your typical pizza place, Papa Mia’s offers up some crazy concoctions, including the vegan mac and cheese pizza pictured above. With vegan garlic bread, vegan dessert calzones, and hearty pasta also on the menu, what isn’t to love about this place?. 3/503 Goodwood Road, Colonel Light Gardens, Adelaide SA 5041"

"Adelaide is bursting with culture, flavours, events and entertainment. Taste your way through world-famous wine regions only minutes away from the city, soak up the sun at one of our picture-perfect metropolitan beaches, join the party at our immersive festivals and events or spend the night exploring our thriving restaurant and bar scene. Adelaide is a gateway to some of Australia’s best wine country with tourist attractions including lush parklands and some of the country’s best beaches."

"So, if you’re looking for an Australian or South Australian winery wedding venue, Adelaide is just perfect for you, with its gorgeous weather, rolling hills (including the Basket and Forest Ranges), and amazing views. Plus, its proximity to the St. Vincent Gulf means you can easily access the beach for waterfront ceremonies or wedding photography. Promise us you will check out our favourite winery wedding venues, listed above, because you’ll most certainly regret missing out on them!"

"The Adelaide University campus itself has some wonderful spots hidden around the place as it’s such an old campus. One such spot has romenesque columns lining a walkway towards a door. This one spot – quite close to the Torrens footbridge – has become a huge hot spot for wedding photography often having to queue up behind other wedding couples wanting to have photos done there on a Saturday."

"A true contender for the title of 'Adelaide's Best Pub', the Grace has live music most nights (alt-rock, country, acoustic, open-mic nights), kooky '50s-meets-voodoo decor, open fires and great beers."

"The new and accessible nature playspace at Wittunga Botanic Garden is the perfect spot for kids to learn and play at the same time. The playspace was designed in collaboration with students from Blackwood Primary School. It includes a ribbed frog where children can experiment with music, a log scramble so they can hone in on gross motor skills, an in-ground wheelchair trampoline for children with accessibility needs and a rock mound complete with a play tunnel for kids to get an elevated view across the garden."

"Wittunga Botanic Garden is a little-known park in the suburbs. While it’s not as popular as the Mount Lofty or Botanic Gardens, there’s a peaceful tranquility here that’s hard to find elsewhere. Wittunga has a huge variety of native birds and animal life that are attracted to the indigenous flora."

"If you don’t know Sir Hans Heysen, then why not get acquainted by visiting his home. One of Australia’s most noted landscape artists, the historic house-come-gallery-museum is set upon 60-hectares of scenic land, just outside of Hahndorf, and holds some 200 original works. 68 Heysen Road, Hahndorf"
