Best Vegetarian Restaurants in The Phoenix

"Yellow is the vegetarian bistro found in Potts Point, opened by Brent Savage and Nick Hildebran, from Bentley Restaurant + Bar, Monopole and Cirrus. Inspired by the European dining scene, contemporary food and wine are served in an informal setting at affordable prices. Yellow fulfils the demand for vegetarian and vegan dining in Sydney, with their plant-based menu focusing on ingredients grown by local suppliers."

"Potts PointIn 2016 Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt of The Bentley Group relaunched Yellow’s menu to be 100% vegetarian, and they never looked back. The popular vegan bistro is now known as the go-to place for vegetarian dishes that are a cut above the average. There is a five-course and a seven-course menu only, although they also host guest chefs often, which is a delight to experience."

"Why: When the onion dish hits the table, all heads in the restaurant turn. A whole, roasted sweetly scorchy onion is stuffed with sweet onion puree, creamy stracciatella, kombu and eucalyptus ($32) and finished with white balsamic vinegar, chives and tonburi (nutty seeds known as 'mountain caviar' in Japan). Vegans can swap out the stracciatella for walnut milk."

"The team behind this Newtown eatery are established masters of American cuisine and verified wizards with a charcoal grill. The crew at Hartsyard take an enticingly different approach to Southern essentials, as evident in dishes like the smoked pork jowl or the BBQ duck. For the indecisive among us, they also offer a ‘chef’s menu’ option, a showcase of the best of the a la carte offerings."

"Plating here is a little fancier, the pricing is a little pricier, but the food is well worth the funds. Look at those biscuits and gravy!. Must try: Beyond their notorious desserts, their fried chicken is a definite must."

"Glebe, Newtown, and RandwickVegan and vegetarian burgers have grown in popularity ever since the beyond burger popped into the scene. Some say it’s the patty that remarkably resembles meat, others say it is the thrill of eating a burger that’s all plant-based. Whatever the reasoning, Soul Burger is a vegan burger joint to try."

"If you need the best vegan burgers in Sydney, then visit Soul Burger. So, are they the best?. According to PETA they are."

"Arguably Sydney’s most popular tourist dining destination, when it comes to harbour views, it really doesn’t get much better than Opera Bar. Offering a wide range of eats and libations, the alfresco area is perfect for large groups. If you’re after the perfect bridge shot, or want to get up-close and personal with the Opera House projection, get there for sunset and stay for the Vivid lights."

"Beauty and convenience don’t always go hand in hand, but Opera Bar is a glam exception to the rule. With its menu highlighting local produce, and packed to the brim with sashimi, oysters and cocktails galore, it's perfect for a pre-show snack. You might be jostling for space with other harbourside punters, but it's worth it for when you nab that primo spot on the promenade."

"Back at the Quay, a top spot for a sundowner is the Opera Bar. What a way to end your first day than with a cocktail or cold beer and uninterrupted views of the Harbour Bridge.!"

"Roast duck rules the roost at this new 500-seater Cantonese restaurant perched on level seven of Westfield Pitt Street Mall. Do as the name suggests and put in an order for their roast duck – served either Peking or Cantonese-style – or spread your wings and try one of the regional specialties from aromatic dong po pork served with bouncy lotus buns or the slow-cooked san pei chicken simmered in a clay pot. Skip the tea and order the Spice Trade cocktail, which channels classic duck flavours with anise cognac, Campari, yuzu, citrus and pineapple."

"Booked for Valentine's Day, it was a great deal at $85 per person. The food was excellent. The accompanying matching wine offer was at $60 per person seemed too steep."

"A party-time oasis of pink flamingos and private cabanas for the past 12 years, Ivy Pool Club underwent a refresh in 2020 to provide more al fresco dining options. Additional booths and poolside tables were installed, and chef Vincenzo Biondini expanded his menu to include Italian-ish salads and antipasto such as mortadella, burrata and giardiniera. Pool Club now has table service too, and guests really keen to push out the inflatable swan can order caviar and Dom Perignon from Uccello next door."

"Inspired by the Italian coastline, this rooftop pool bar is a taste of the Mediterranean in the heart of the city. “I arrived here just 2 weeks before the lockdown and a lot of my friends told me that this venue was great!. So, I just want to live the experience as well!"

"Ivy Pool Club is one of Sydney's most popular bars, found at the top of the Ivy complex in Sydney CBD. Recline in a private cabana or take a dip in the crystal clear water under the city skyline, with premium cocktails and Italian-style bites available if you get hungry."

"Ms G’s has long been one of Merivale’s biggest players, dominating Potts Point with its infectiously playful menu that ships everything from cheeseburger spring rolls and yuzu slushies, to wagyu char kway teow and grilled king prawns with sambal belachan. The penchant for furiously clashing Asian flavours with other influences spills over to the cocktail menu as well, resulting in concoctions like vodka and licor43 built with Yakult, lychee, lemon, and lychee pearls.

"Potts Point favourite, Ms G’s, will be keeping locals well-fed with all of their signature drool-worthy dishes, including tom yum fried rice, soy-glazed chicken wings and those famous cheeseburger spring rolls (yes, really!)."
