Smith & Daughters

Top choice in Fitzroy, Collingwood & Abbotsford


This busy corner restaurant has an all-vegan menu and punk sensibility. Italian dishes like 'beef' ragu on 'cheesy' polenta will have you swearing it's meat, while rich cacio e pepe ('parmesan' and pepper pasta) will kick any carb cravings. Also open for weekend brunch (try the breakfast pizza). For brilliant vegan sandwiches, order takeaway from Smith & Deli nearby.
