Adelaide truly is a treasure trove of hidden gems when it comes to vegan options – from restaurants and cafés, to bars and everything in between. There’s new spots popping up all over the place, but do they outweigh the comfortability and familiarity of the old faithfuls?
It’s hard to know where to go at times, especially if you’re new to the vegan scene, so we asked the vegans of Adelaide, “If you could only eat at one Adelaide restaurant for the rest of your life, which would it be?” And in no particular order, here are the 30 answers we received.
