Eating Out: Brisbane CBD 2019

I continue to go into the city regularly for my psychologist appointments, which means I have continued to explore some of the vegan options in the city. This year I didn't eat there for every appointment, sometimes I just came home instead or ate before I went. But there was still lots of good food.

Felix For Goodness: A little cafe tucked down a laneway, I saw someone on IG eating some of their vegan options so decided to check it out. I had the Soba Bowl and an Elderflower and Lemon Iced Tea. It was all lovely and refreshing, though pricey for what you got.





Gelatissimo: I was walking past with no plans to stop in when I saw a big sign advertising a special creamy vegan ice cream. Almond Delight was made with almond milk, chocolate swirls, and flaked almonds. Plus their cones were vegan. This was a special, and I don't think is available anymore. Normally it is just some of the sorbets that are vegan.



Phat Elephant: I love Thai, so when I found out there was a place with a vegan menu in the city, I had to try it out. The vegan menu is small, but tasty. On my first visit I had the Pad See Ew, which is one of my favourite dishes. I am happy to report that there's was good! At my next visit I had the Tofu and Veggies in Mushroom Sauce, which was also very nice. I also tried a Chrysanthemum Iced Tea, which ended up being very sweet and came with a distressing number of straws. I'll stick to water when I go back in the future.







VegeRama: Old standard VegeRama has two locations in the city. Though I am trying to try other places, I returned a couple of times this year. Both times I had their Creamy Mushroom Pie (once with tamarind sauce, which annoyingly comes in a tiny plastic cup, just slop it on the pie) and some salad. Once with my favourite Mustard Dill Salad, once with the Pesto Chickpea Salad.





SpudBar: SpudBar only has a few vegan options, but they are great when you are after something packed full of veggies and not too pricey. The Moroccan Chickpea and Kale is served over a baked potato, and also has quinoa, beetroot, and a healthy dose of hummus. On a recent hot day visit, I tried the Vegan Poke Bowl. Served over a baked sweet potato, it had edamame, corn, beetroot, seaweed, sweet potato chips, avocado, and vegan mayo.





Iku Noodle Bar: Another random place I stumbled across, this is a make your own noodle bowl place. I had soba noodles with the vegan miso broth, vegetables, and seaweed. This is pretty much the only vegan option, but it is a good one for those all too rare chilly winter days.



Brisbane City Markets: These markets are on every Wednesday in the city, which is always the day that I see my psychologist. There are fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, plus quite a lot of vegan food options as well. I think I have seen falafel, bagels, bratwurst, salads, and more. I don't go much, because it is busy and sunny. But I did snag this amazing cinnamon sugar vegan pretzel from one of the stalls there once.



I am sure this new year will bring me the chance to explore some new places, and revisit some old favourites. You can see my previous wrap ups of CBD eats here.
