Best Vegan Burger Brisbane

Gone are the days of the sad mushroom patty. Brisbane’s vegan burger scene has exploded into something genuinely exciting — smash burgers, fried chicken stacks, ribwiches, pulled jackfruit, double-cheese monstrosities, and parmas. All 100% plant-based, all completely delicious. Whether you’re a committed vegan or just burger-curious, here are the best vegan burgers Brisbane has to offer.

1. MooFree Burgers — Morningside

Address: 629 Wynnum Rd, Morningside QLD 4170
Phone: 0401 940 130
Also at: Wynnum & West End · Plus food truck locations

Brisbane’s original dedicated vegan burger brand, MooFree was born from the same family behind Charlie’s Raw Squeeze with a simple mission: a big fat juicy cheeseburger with zero animal cruelty. Mission very much accomplished. The menu spans “beef”, chick’n, house-made falafel, and signature green patties — all on buns seasoned to perfection, all 100% plant-based. The Gravy Train loaded chips are the stuff of legend, and most burgers can be made gluten-free. The BFC (the big one, stacked and sauced) is the move for first-timers who want to be completely convinced. Multiple locations and a roaming food truck mean MooFree is never too far away.

2. VeganBurgz — Fortitude Valley

Address: 11a/455 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
Phone: 0458 322 471

A dedicated vegan burger bar in the heart of Fortitude Valley with some of the most creative bun-and-filling combinations in Brisbane. The signature matcha-coloured buns are an immediate statement of intent, and the fillings live up to the aesthetic: pulled “pork”, tofu, ribwich with house-made smoky BBQ sauce, and the Fin Free Burgz with tempura vegan fish, rocket, pickled cucumber and chunky house tartare. The sweet potato fries are huge — a small feeds two — and the aioli is genuinely outstanding. BYO is welcome with no corkage fee, making it one of the better-value vegan nights out in the Valley.

3. Yavanna — Paddington

Address: Shop 9/2 Latrobe Tce, Paddington QLD 4064
Phone: (07) 3554 0267
Hours: Mon–Sat 5pm–9pm · Sun 10:30am–2:30pm

Brisbane’s most acclaimed fully vegan restaurant also does some of the city’s best burgers — and they don’t play it safe. The CFC burger (crispy fried chick’n, creamy slaw, vegan aioli) is a perennial crowd favourite, while the pesto schnitzel burger is the kind of combination that makes you wonder why it took this long to exist. The Big Mock — a grilled seitan beef patty, vegan cheese, Big Mock sauce, and shredded lettuce on a warm brioche bun — is Yavanna’s answer to fast food nostalgia, executed with a level of craft far above the source material. Save room for the mud cake.

4. Archie AM PM — Carseldine

Address: Shop 23/735 Beams Rd, Carseldine QLD 4034
Hours: Thu–Sat 11am–2pm & 5pm–8pm · Sun 10am–2pm

Fully plant-based and doing things nobody else in Brisbane is doing. The cheesy smash burger at Archie AM PM has triggered more than one person to drive from the Gold Coast specifically for a return visit. The Korean fried chicken burger — crispy, sauced, and completely convincing — is described by regulars as being like getting “slapped into heaven.” The lamb gyros is another must, and the house lemonades are worth the trip alone. Chef Kya’s attention to detail and genuine passion for the food shows in every single dish. Limited trading hours means planning ahead, but it is absolutely worth it.

5. Netherworld Hellmouth Diner — Fortitude Valley

Address: 186 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
Phone: 0424 156 667
Hours: Tue–Thu 12pm–11pm · Fri–Sat 12pm–1am · Sun 12pm–11pm

Brisbane’s legendary retro gaming bar serves all food vegan by default — and the burgers inside the Hellmouth Diner are genuinely excellent. The Phoenix Burger delivers a crispy chicken-style patty with slaw, pickles, cheese, and chipotle mayo that hits every note. The Burgatory is the Netherworld-branded smash-style option that regulars swear by. Non-vegan guests can swap in meat if they must, but honestly there’s no need. Pair your burger with a craft beer, grab a pinball machine, and you have a near-perfect Brisbane night. The setting is unlike anywhere else in the city.

6. Dicki’s New Farm — New Farm

Address: 893 Brunswick St, New Farm QLD 4005
Phone: (07) 3254 2341
Hours: Tue–Sun from 7am (Sun until 1pm)

Brisbane’s most beloved all-vegan café has been quietly making one of the city’s best classic vegan burgers without making too much fuss about it. The house-made mushroom patty burger — sliced cheese, lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, served with shoestring fries — is a masterclass in getting the fundamentals right. No bells, no matcha buns, no novelty: just a properly executed burger that satisfies completely. It’s the kind of thing you crave on a Wednesday morning and eat on a Sunday. Dicki’s Biscoff waffles and kimchi burrito are the burger’s natural companions on the menu.

7. Lord of the Fries — Fortitude Valley

Address: 3a/352 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
Phone: (07) 3257 0954

The international vegan fast food chain that Brisbane has been waiting years for. Lord of the Fries does 100% vegan takes on fast food classics — and the execution is spot on. The Biggie is the gateway burger: a cruelty-free Big Mac experience complete with special sauce and that familiar stack. The parma burger — chick’n schnitzel patty, house Napoli sauce, vegan cheese, bacon, and diced onion — is an Aussie pub classic reinvented without compromise. Upgrade to Beyond Meat patties for the full premium experience. The chips are consistently excellent and the service is fast. Exactly what it sets out to be.

8. Two Yolks — South Bank

Address: 179 Grey St, South Brisbane QLD 4101
Phone: 0432 998 881
Hours: Mon–Thu 7am–8:30pm · Fri–Sat 7am–9:30pm · Sun 7am–8:30pm

A South Bank burger bar with a retro diner aesthetic and a dedicated vegan option that stands firmly on its own merits. The Veganator is the main event: a hearty shrooms steak patty, creamy vegan cheddar, and a gluten-free vegan bun that holds the whole thing together without apology. The truffle cheesy fries are addictive and the house lemonade is a perfect pairing. Staff are consistently praised for warmth and enthusiasm, and the atmosphere — old school booths, orange accents, a proper diner feel — makes eating here an event. Located right in the heart of South Bank’s cultural and dining precinct.

9. Grassfed (Food Truck) — Various Locations

Find them at: Queensland Vegan Markets (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast) & private events
Phone: 0401 016 134
Website: grassfedvegan.com.au

Grassfed started as a legendary hole-in-the-wall at Fish Lane in South Brisbane before transitioning to a food trailer — and the burger quality hasn’t dropped a single notch. The philosophy is simple: the highest quality, most sustainable local ingredients, lovingly crafted into the ultimate plant-based burger. The B.F.C. — an XL vEEF patty, double cheese, vBacon, shoestring fries inside the bun, shimeji mushroom, tomato, lettuce, caramelised onion, pickle, and Grassfed special sauce — is one of the most legendary burger constructions in Brisbane’s history. Find the trailer at Queensland Vegan Markets or book them for your next event.

10. The Green Edge — Windsor

Address: 2b/229 Lutwyche Rd, Windsor QLD 4030
Phone: (07) 3861 1132
Hours: Tue–Sat from 6am (Thu–Sat until 8pm)

Brisbane’s original and oldest fully vegan institution has been feeding the city since 2008 — and the burgers have always been part of the story. The Green Edge’s epic vegan burgers are exactly what the name suggests: enormous, fully loaded, and unapologetically indulgent. The burger menu sits alongside pizzas, pasta, frappes, and a whole vegan grocery store, making it one of the most complete plant-based experiences in the city. If you’re doing a burger crawl across Brisbane’s vegan scene, The Green Edge in Windsor is the essential starting point — and the Snickers frappe is the mandatory dessert.
