Ever had difficulty finding vegan food in Brisbane CBD?
Among the office buildings and shopping centres, there are some hidden vegan gems that you can go to. From comforting curry to vegan doughnuts, there are choices for everyone.
And if you happen to visit the city on a Wednesday, be sure to check out the Brisbane City Market as well.
Here are some of my favourite places to get vegan food in Brisbane CBD:
Vege Rama
A vegan eatery near Anzac Square that has a great selection of vegan comfort food. The dishes change daily but you can expect to find curry, dosa, kofta, salad, and desserts. My favourite is the Thai massaman curry and lemongrass soy nuggets. There are some seatings but it can get quite busy during lunch hour.
