Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page answers where to find vegan food in Fairfield, and it also covers searches for vegan food in the area. It lists four places in and around Fairfield: one gelato shop in Fairfield and three venues on High Street in Northcote.
We report each venue’s markers and statements exactly as it prints them, and nothing beyond. Where a venue says something about gluten free or accreditation, we quote it as the venue’s own statement, not as a guarantee. Where we could not find a menu or a price, we say so.
Each place was checked against two independent sources, including OpenStreetMap, the venue’s own site and the Australian Good Food Guide.

Gelato Papa (Fairfield) — 72A Station Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
Gelato Papa’s site says it has a good selection of vegan flavours in the cabinet that change from season to season. Its cakes page lists a Vegan Bombe Alaska (gf) from $49.00. The site also says its gelato is gluten free, with accreditation from Coeliac Australia. We could not find a per-scoop price, and the prices below are from the cakes page.
On the menu (copied from gelatopapa.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Vegan Bombe Alaska (gf): from $49.00
Fully plant-based or options: Options. The site mentions vegan flavours in the cabinet that change by season, so ask which ones are vegan on the day.
Tahina Bar Northcote — 223 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Tahina Bar’s menu prints a VEGAN ‘CARROT’ HOT DOG (V) and a GREEN FALAFEL (GFO, V) at $15.50. It also prints a FALAFEL BURGER (VO) at $17.50 and BAKLAVA (V) at $5. The menu says you can enjoy any pita pocket in a gluten free wrap. Its site lists 11am to 9pm and says there is no booking, walk-in only.
Menu markers: The menu prints V, VO and GFO beside items, so read the marker on the exact dish and ask the counter what each one means.
Primo — 104 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Primo’s menu prints Vegan Margherita $27 with tomato, vegan fior di latte and basil. Its site says We are Coeliac Accredited, and AGFG tags it for vegetarian options and takeaway. The site lists open seven days, 5-10pm, and the menu prints a surcharge on Sundays and public holidays.
On the menu (copied from eatprimo.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Vegan Margherita: $27
Kitchen statement: The site says it is Coeliac Accredited, so ask the kitchen how it prepares the Vegan Margherita if that matters to you.
Northcote Fish & Chips — 341 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Northcote Fish & Chips’ site says it is serving traditional and vegan fish & chips and a huge range of vegan burgers and traditional burgers. AGFG tags it for gluten free options, vegetarian options and delivery. Its site shows prices as images, so we could not read them, and we could not read the hours reliably either.
Ask: Whether the vegan items are cooked separately from the traditional fish, because we could not find a kitchen statement on that.
