Best Brisbane Eastside Vegan Restaurants

Brisbane’s eastside is one of the city’s most underrated food destinations. From the inner-east suburbs of Camp Hill and Coorparoo to the breezy bayside villages of Wynnum, Manly and Cleveland, and the outer Redlands communities of Thornlands and Redland Bay, there’s a growing trail of great vegan and plant-based dining to discover. Here are ten of the very best.

Florence Cafe is a fixture on Martha Street, drawing a loyal brunch crowd for its rotating seasonal specials, excellent specialty coffee, and a cabinet stocked with gorgeous pastries. Plant-based diners will find thoughtful options throughout the menu including the popular mushroom dishes and vibrant vegetable-forward plates.
