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.

If you are truly to understand what you are missing from the vegan restaurants in Northcote, you must start with the almighty umami. Here’s an excerpt from this dietician’s take on how the savory flavor enriches the taste of vegan food.
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!
Vegetable Dumplings
Large moon shaped pan-fried dumplings filled with diced tofu, vegetables and sweet potato vermicelli topped with crispy red onion and served with housemade ginger soy sauce.
Red Falafel
Falafel mixed with chilli and red peppers. Hummus, Israeli salad, pickled cabbage and tahini. The ground chickpeas from the falafel pair beautifully with the tahini, made from grinding up roasted sesame seeds. The hummus and Israeli salad play off each other’s texture and taste beautifully. This is the perfect afternoon vegan wrap!
