Beyond having richly flavored dishes textured to perfection, the vegan restaurants in Northcote practice something usually left by the wayside in the food industry: kindness. Not categorized by ethnicity or nationality, vegan restaurants in Northcote all share a common code of culinary ethics. Yes, of course animal meat is delicious – only a fool would say a perfect hamburger isn’t tasty. However, we can all agree the philosophy (and deeper taste) behind vegan eating is undeniable.

This is why you’ll see so many vegan dishes make healthy use of mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, and fermented foods – they all add another layer to the flavor. While we at QIKI Cuisine respect the ethics behind vegan restaurants in Northcote, we understand that taste is the primary driver for people’s diet’s on a daily basis. Many ethnic cuisines have entire portions of their menu to vegan meals, so make sure to check them out for some fresh culinary ideas!

Red Falafel
