Vegetarian restaurant award nears a close!


Voting for the 2009 Vegetarian Restaurant of the Year award, run by Vegetarian

Network Victoria, is coming to a close on December 15, 2009.


The annual award celebrates the diverse array of vegetarian restaurants in Victoria.


VNV President Mark Doneddu said, “This award highlights that fact that Melbourne

has so many wonderful vegetarian restaurants, more than most of the other major

cities in the world, many of which have far bigger populations than Melbourne.


“Melbourne multicultural influence provides a great diversity of vegetarian cuisine

ranging from Chinese, to Indian and to Italian food.”


Restaurants-goers can go online and vote for their favourite vegetarian restaurant at



This year’s competition has seen the addition of Le Cru – a vegan raw food

restaurant located in Albert Park.


“This increase in restaurants signifies a growing awareness in Melbourne of the

benefits of plant based diet, from an environmental, ethical and health point of

view”, said Mr Doneddu.


Previous winners include Enlightened Cuisine, Vegie Hut, Bowl of Soul, and Lord of

the Fries - who took out the coveted prize last year.


Voters will also be in the running to win a dinner for two at the winning restaurant.

Voting closes December 15, 2009 and the winner will be announced in January.
