Red Robyn

SOOOOOOO there is this little cafe on Camberwell Rd in Camberwell called Red Robyn, that has recently opened.  So far we have been there twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch, so we have been able to get a spread of the meals.

A lot of their dishes utilise polenta, which until recently I had not been a fan of, but in the dishes at Red Robyn I have really been enjoying.  It's also cool how, because the cafe is relatively new, the dishes have been changing and improving, which is certainly the case for the polenta :)

These are some of the dishes that had polenta:
This one is the Red Robyn breakfast V NICE


And this one is ... something else, I cant think of the name, but it had these carrots in MOLAESES



We have also tried some of their coffees, a ristretto, soy cappuccino, and regular cappuccino. The lady, who I assume is Robyn actually told us that recently they have started using a ristretto shot in the coffees as opposed to a normal espresso shot, which I think is kind of nifty :P

THIS IS a picture of the menu :P and a coffee:


These are just some other items we have tried:


this was a really nice salad

these were cool fritters because they

weren't oily

I should have mentioned earlier but the main idea of this cafe is the cater for different dietary requirements, like gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. 

IT'S A PRETTY COOL PLACE

Vegetarian Eating Melbourne

If you're vegetarian and like to eat, these are some cool places to go in Melbourne...

Yong Green Food, 421 Brunswick st. Fitzroy
I HIGHLY recommend the tofu tuna pocket platter. OOH BABY. Actually, I'd go anything really. It's the kind of place where I want to try everything on the menu. DIS MA FAVE.

Gasometer, 484 Smith st. Collingwood
'Tis a pub, A REALLY COOL PUB WITH yummy as burgers and vegan friendly.

Tramway Hotel, 165 Rae st. Fitzroy North
In a really nice spot for relaxing and excellent burger consumption

Lentils as Anything, Abbotsford Convent
Surprise meal for whatever price you want to pay, ya big old tight asses. The St. Kilda one is more of a sit in restaurant style where as the Abbotsford Convent is like a big fat buffet.

Vegie Boob, 380 Brunswick st. Fitzroy
AKA Vegie Bar. It's nice, especially the vegan menu but it's just lame when it's busy. Bad vibes but probably worth it for a delicious and satisfying dish of food.

Oriental Teahouse, CBD, Chapel st. and Chadstone Shopping Centre
SALTY SPICY TOFU & WHITE chocolate dumplings. DO IT. But don't do it on Chapel street. The one in the city is DA BEST.

Loving Hut, 242 Victoria st. Richmond 
Actually haven't been here, but it's on my list. I believe a lot of it is vegan and probably very oily.

TOFWD, Degraves st.
THE salads here are super nice and so are the rice balls. AND PIES.

Minh Phat Grocery, Abbotsford, just off Victoria st.
Okay, not actually a restaurant but good for fake meat supplies, if you're into that. FAKE TUNA.

Capital Kitchen, Chadstone Shopping Centre


Okay, this place isn't actually a super great place for vegetarians BUT I had this really nice salad there the other day and I didn't want to do a separate post on it because who cares about a stupid salad I ate. BUT it had quinoa, 'candied' pumpkin, pomegranate, brocollini, pistachios, some sort of currant, a 'burnt orange' dressing and feta cheese. I ATE IT ALL. P.S If you want a cheap espresso at Chadstone, go to the Cupcake Factory. ONE DORRA EIGHTY

Bimbos, 376 Brunswick st. Fitzroy
Cheap pizzas with a few DELECTABLE vegetarian options.

Monk Bodhi Dharma, 202 Carlisle st. Balaclava
I've only eaten here once and it wasn't that great but the coffee is great and there are vegan options and yummy looking cakes.

Sprout Organic Grocery, 123 Auburn rd. Hawthorn East
Expensive as balls but the food is pretty nice, not so much the coffee or tea.

The Green Refectory, 115 Sydney rd. Brunswick
Haven't been but looks so good. Vegan sushi and colourful salads! YAY!

That's all I can think of mates!
