    Stopped in for lunch a few weekends ago with friends on a Sunday. The menu had a great variety of options and we settled on the vegan platter, basil pesto pasta, mushroom calamari dish and fried cauliflower. Service was great, food was delicious and the venue has a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. The venue has toilets and easy to book online.

    I've been to a lot of restaurants which are 100% Vegan and also to those who offer many Vegan Friendly options but Green Man's Arms will always come on top as the best Vegan food delivering Pub Bistro in entire Melbourne. Trust me, you'll never go wrong here when it is about food. Staff is super friendly too. Rating: Taste - 4.5 out of 5 Portion - 5 out of 5 Presentation - 4 out of 5 Price - 3 out of 5 (5 being Extremely expensive and 1 being reasonably cheap)

    Everything here yum! Vegetarian vegan pub where the food is so fresh, full of flavor and substantial that you know not it has no meat! We had the tacos, perogis and chick pea flour pancake. Service was top notch. Lovely pub ambiance.

    Old-school suburban pub on busy Lygon St. only small inside, it also offers outside tables for eating and drinking. The menu is entirely vegan / vegetarian and while I didn’t sample any it did look inviting, and has a good range of beers and cider on tap.

    I love the concept of a vegetarian gastropub. We had the feed me menu which was delicious, the massaman curry and eggplant schnitzel were particular highlights. Dessert was okay, however lacked flavour, particularly in the tart, and to quote Manu - the steamed pudding needs more sauce. However, they did an excellent job catering to dietary requirements and the positives far outweighed the negatives. Cocktails were delicious however the time to receive drinks from ordering was a bit slow but not offensively slow. Service was friendly and there is an excellent ambience to this place. I highly recommend for the vegans, vegetarians and those who just want plant based food.

    Nice vegetarian place. Bar at the front, cosy restaurant at the back. The smoky tofu was pretty good, nice balance of flavours and chilli. Could be a little expensive for the quantity. Friends got the eggplant schnitzel, chorizo burger and caesar salad.

    Been a non vegan, had doubts of trying this place at first. But glad we did cause it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was delicious. Great food portions and lovely presentation. Loved the creativity of the dishes in blending the tastes and looks. They have a variety of drinks to choose from as well. A must try experience for everyone.

    Amazing vego/vegan pub! Food is super tasty and service is great too! Only thing that would make it better would be a bit easier wheelchair access.

    Really impressive food, I had take away during the Covid lockdown and I was really happy with everything ordered. Laksa was spicy and tasty, burger was really good and the cauliflower was amazing and by far my favourite dish. Highly recommend giving this place a go even if you’re normally a meat eater as the food is so yum

    Great place to have a bite and share a few drinks! Good was great, everything we tried was great and good selection of drinks too and lovely ambience too. Cannot believe it took me so long to visit this place. Staff are friendly and helpful too, definitely recommend. For vegetarians, it is a paradise! Thank you.

    Easy to book and managed to score airy seating on a hot evening. An abundance of quirky beers to try in this modern pub. Outstanding vegetarian food that’ll astonish even the most carnivorous beings - thoroughly enjoyed by all and will be back again.

    We had the best time here. Delicious and creative vegan eats, cosy vintage decor, super friendly staff, comfy setting, afternoon sun through the window. Just great. Can’t wait to return!

    Ordered the soy milk ramen (vegetarian) $25. I’m not a vegetarian and found the broth was surprisingly quite nice! Texture of the ramen was not the best but not bad actually, I’m just picky on noodles’ texture. The only issue for me was the meat alternative. It was too thick and stiff, more like Chinese sausages than something you expect in a bowl of ramen. I have tried other nicer meat alternatives so there can be some improvement. But a nice vegetarian restaurant overall and good service! Heard the linguine was very good, tempted to try it next time.

    Exceptional food for vegetarians and vegans. I especially love the Kombucha on tap. Servers extremely cool and friendly. I got there early as I am in a manual wheelchair and I was accommodated very well. I had a very lovely evening and finished it off with an almond baked cheesecake which was sensational. Thank you!

    I was blown away by how great the food is here. I'd highly recommend the pommes frites and definitely the eggplant schnitzel, but it all seems great. Really friendly service and everything was very covid safe. Lovely atmosphere, and a good selection of beers as well. I'll be back here I reckon!

    Beautiful place for a vegan option. Great customer service very friendly. Fried Cauliflower pretty good. Also the eggplant schnitzel is a really good tasting main dish

    Nice selection of beers available and the food was great. Had the pasta with sugar snap peas and the eggplant Parma

  • 3/5 Jarrod B. 3 months ago on Google • 106 reviews New
    Came here for a “safe” place to eat for a group of friends with various dietary requirements. The staff were super friendly and helpful and were clear on what was and was not possible regarding dietaries. It just seemed that most of my group weren’t in love with the food that they chose with 3/4 leaving decent potions left on their plates. The vibe was fun and welcoming we just weren’t in love with the menus it seemed. Understanding there are limits to options when going doing the 100% vegan route.

    Amazing! We shared the vegan feed me menu and were so impressed, only got a photo of the first of 4 courses. The first course as shown was a vegan charcuterie board, the hummus was so rich & creamy, vegan feta & chorizo tasted like the real deal and the focaccia was so fresh & dense. For our second courses we had a delicious Mexican-like Cobb salad and a tofu larb, both tasted so fresh and tasty And the cherry on the cake was the sticky date pudding for dessert - probably the best sticky date pudding I’ve ever had, can’t believe it was both vegan & gluten free! They also had an incredible range of both alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks. I had a non alcoholic spritz which tasted like the real deal! The staff were all friendly & welcoming and went to the effort of explaining each dish in detail and were able to provide all the advice & recommendations we needed. The pub itself is also beautifully laid out, filled with lots of plants and quirky yet pretty decorations. Will 100% be back, highly recommend!

    Best pub in Melbourne!! While slightly on the pricier side for an average meal (but standard for pub prices) the food is absolutely incredible, on another level! They have absolutely mastered all their dishes, the eggplant schnitzel is always cooked to perfection, the slaw is to die for, the charred corn salad is stunning, and the pomme frites are the greatest potatoes that I have ever tasted. Would recommend 100000000% for any vegetarian, vegan, or meat eater to try!!

  • 5/5 Desi M. 1 month ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Loved it! The food was really good, all plant based which was perfect for my vegan friends. But also as an omnivore I was very happy with the food, I did not feel as though I was missing out. Highly recommended eating here, good prices and great quality of food. Feed me option was perfect, lots of food very filling.

    Food is amazing, shame it is not accessible for wheelchair users who want to sit in the bar area. Main entrance is flat but only has high chairs and tables. We had to go through the alternate entrance which had 2 steps to get to the sofas. It would be nice if the staff were more accommodating and swapped out a low table for us for bar area.

  • 5/5 素perHero Y. 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    A pub with full vegan menu, allium free options. Impressed with the quality of taste, service and presentation. Been wanting to come try this restaurant. Ticked!!!✅

  • 5/5 Adi K. 11 months ago on Google
    The best veggie burgers I've ever had! Great cocktails and atmosphere. The staff are all really lovely! Make sure you book as it's a very popular venue!

  • 4/5 Mukesh Naiker (. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to catch up with friends and enjoy a meal. I had the bean burger which was great, love the super crunchy potato's . Wash it all down with a fine pale ale. Recommended

  • 3/5 Kristie B. 7 months ago on Google
    Food is great for vegetarians! Warm and somewhat cosy. There is a cute fire place but only for one table. Wasn’t obsessed but didn’t not like.

  • 3/5 Urvi G. 10 months ago on Google
    Drinks were good…short staffed for a Sunday lunch. Food looked presentable and liked the cauliflower dish. Must try spicy margaritas.

  • 5/5 Jess G. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    This is hands down our go-to place for a reliably outstanding meal. We love getting the ‘chef’s selection’ option because we always end up with dishes we wouldn’t have usually ordered but end up absolutely loving! Their cocktails are out of this world as well; interesting and fun, as well as balanced in flavour. I also wanted to give my thanks for their sincere care and concern. I had an incident there last night where I needed medical assistance and without saying a word, our server was on top of everything they could do to make our lives in that moment more comfortable. Check this amazing establishment out!

    What a wonderful place for vegan meals, I will say only great things about there range of sauces, craft beers, and overall meals, just a wonderful way to enjoy a nice family meal

  • 5/5 Meryl S. 3 years ago on Google
    A very carefully curated menu of special plant based dishes. Bound to satisfy a fine diners expectations.

  • 5/5 Adam H. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is absolutely delicious and I am no vegan. I love steak, I love chorizo, and as it turns out I also love bean curd ramen and fried cauliflower. Great food, great atmosphere, great service, wouldn't change a thing.

  • 5/5 Henry L. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful date night venue. The staff are so warm and welcoming. Definitely a staple in the Melbourne hospo scene.

  • 5/5 Narius P. 4 years ago on Google
    Randomly tried this pub for the first time and it was really good. Good selection of drinks and the menu was all vegetarian/Vegan but it has some really creative and tasty options, would def go back!

  • 5/5 Raffaele M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere with nice vegeterian menu and little interesting wine list

  • 5/5 Heather P. 3 years ago on Google
    This is fabulously clean & green with sincere hospitality to match ??

  • 5/5 Christopher N. 4 years ago on Google
    There is a wide range of excellent beers. I enjoyed the dark ale and the stout. It was a perfect combination with the Roasted Beets. The place is a perfect combination of vegetarian fine dining, vegetarian bar food, and a traditional Australian pub. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Jye B. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice quiet little place. The drinks were awesome and the staff were very friendly. Nice and warm and had a lovely little fireplace.

  • 5/5 Rouven G. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little pub on a busy street. Good happy hour offers and cold beers (Stone&wood lager). Food loks delicious, especially the burgers and there are vegetarian option available too. Scan and order available to make your ordering easy. Got ester for the dog without even asking for it first thing. Very good customer service and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 O C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic food. Friendly, polite service. Only suggestion might be to avoid the open windows as there seems to be more traffic fumes coming in than fresh air. Highly recommend the fried cauliflower!

  • 5/5 constanza de la b. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and i had a really good experience there! Vegan schnitzel just WOW! Service was quick, friendly staff. We'll come back for that board that looked delicious in the table next to us! Recommended! Didn't ask but hope wines were vegan as well!

  • 5/5 Racey2509 2 years ago on Google
    I had my birthday here on 13 June. Given that we'd just come out of lockdown, the restrictions were still quite strict in terms of numbers etc. The venue staff (special mention to Xavier) did everything they could reasonably be asked to do to make us comfortable - and we had a fantastic time. We had the feed me menu which is a banquet style offering. Everything was great, very tasty and really well priced. Will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Richard 3 years ago on Google
    Very pleasantly surprised with this pub. From the outside it looked dull and uninviting but inside was different; good selection of beer, clean and welcoming staff👍.

  • 4/5 Tash A. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a good little pub with friendly staff and great menu. Tap/beer selection could be better, which is why I've gone four stars rather than five, as it was quite minimal when we went. But, still worth going. Also, there are lots of vegan and vegetarian options so highly recommend that! Had the vegan charcuterie platter which was delicious. Wish it had more vegan chorizo though! Would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Tim B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent spot for food and drinks. Menu is surprisingly excellent and caters for all dietary needs. Drinks have a great range and the vibe in this pub is fun, and friendly. The perfect t spot for a group of friends to catch up. Were very accommodating for my girlfriend birthday dinner and drinks, not fording us onto a banquet menu and were flexible with booking numbers.

  • 4/5 Shaun 4 years ago on Google
    What a great little spot. Nice atmosphere. Quite a few beers on tap. The food was actually really good. We went with the vegetarian feed me option (they also have vegan) which was 38 a head which had 5 dishes, none of which disappointed. This is only nitpicking but, got there at 5:55 for a 6 booking in their dining area and was told it didn't open until 6, which, also happened to a lot of others so the front bar got a little crammed. Would've been just as easy to start seating people I would have thought and just serving drinks. Overall, definite recommend.

  • 5/5 Empzorz R. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible food, warm decor coupled with professional and personable staff, what is not to love? Well I couldn't find anything. This is a must visit establishment if you live in the area or are just visiting. The team in the kitchen know their craft, with portion sizes perfect, stunning flavour and astute presentation. We will be back. Keep up the amazing work!

  • 5/5 Jayde L. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been here three times and every time it's excellent! Delicious food - we certainly didn't miss our meat - excellent cocktails, and super friendly bar staff. Can recommend the charcuterie and the Sunday Roast - so yum. Excellent DJ on a Saturday and always good vibes in the front bar.

  • 5/5 Aditi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Numerous vegan options. We ordered the pho and the edemame salad; both were absolutely delicious.
