My favourite dish of the night was the ragu and polenta – I havent eaten meat in 25 years but geez did that beef taste legit, it was scary but good.
If I knew in advance it was a vegan restaurant I would have kept walking. The thought of eating Vegan has always scared me for some reason! Fortunately I didnt! There seemed to be an awesome vibe from outside which got us in. Took a seat at the bar and the staff were incredibly friendly and willing to educate on the menu. Ordered the meat balls, gnocchi and a pumpkin dish encrusted in bread crumbs. In short every dish was amazing. All dishes were amazing and very satisfying, even for a habitual meat eater like me! The limoncello rice pudding was frickin awesome, and there were also a good selection of Victorian beers. Really cool venue and every dish is a talking point. Will be back!!

In my opinion this restaurant is overrated. When I read the menu I was so excited, everything sounded amazing and I wish the dishes were made with the real and original ingredients. I gave it a go and ordered the spaghettini and the braised beef. The spaghettini were quite nice, although way too salty and the portion was not generous. The braised beef smelled amazing but I didnt enjoy the texture of the faux meat and the polenta was not enough.
The restaurant was very busy which makes me believe vegans really enjoy the food here. I guess this place gives vegans a great variety of dishes and something a bit different from the usual vegan options you find at traditional restaurants.
Im glad I tried it, but as a meat eater I will not go back.
BOOK IN ADVANCE!!! Smith & Daughters is the pinnacle of Vegan dining and lots of people know it! Great entry to the Vegan world if you’re going with omnivores.
We haven’t been hear enough being that each time we come they give us so many reasons to be back the next night.
The Italian menu is astonishingly amazing! I hope that the next menu can live up to the brilliance of this menu.
Mock meat that is too crazily similar to the real thing that’ll even have the most avid meat eaters questioning the validity of the plant they’re eating.
Could not recommend this place more.
A cute place in Fitzroy, this is heaven for vegans. I had a sound milk hot chocolate which was yum! Definitely check it out if you’re into trying new dishes with interesting ingredients.
Prepare to have your mind blown. Its not just that these vegan dishes taste and feel so similar to their meaty counterparts, its the fact that, importantly, each dish is delicious in its own right. There wasnt a meal we sampled here that disappointed with the ragu, parma potato and orange pudding (with a cream that was better than, well, cream) all stand out dishes. Chef Shannon Martinez is making serious shapes here.
