Correction (3 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 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
When a venue prints a marker on its menu, it is making a promise, so we repeat each marker as it appears and add nothing to it. We read six menus in and around Hampton: four venues sit on Ludstone, Hampton, Small and Hampton streets in Hampton itself, and two are a short trip away in Sandringham (the headings say which is which).
For each place you get what its menu marks, the prices we copied from it, and one question to ask at the counter. We have not eaten at any of them. No kitchen statement (a dedicated fryer, a shared kitchen, a certification) is reported here for any of the six, so if cross-contact matters to you, ask the venue directly.

Cornerstone & Co. — 75 Ludstone Street, Hampton VIC 3188
Cornerstone & Co.’s menu prints “Housemade Granola” with the markers v, vg, df and nf, and its legend reads “vg= vegan”. The smashed avocado carries “v,vgo” on the same menu. We have not decoded “vgo” beyond what is printed, so treat it as a question for the counter. Prices were read off the venue’s menu image, so check the current menu before you go.
Menu markers: the legend is printed on the menu, so read it before ordering anything beyond the granola.
Lennox 3188 — 505 Hampton Street, Hampton VIC 3188
Lennox 3188’s spring menu marks the Acai Bowl and the Mushroom Medley “(vg)”, and its menu legend reads “(vg) = Vegan”. The same menu lists “BREAKFAST (ALL DAY)”. If a dish is marked “(vgo)”, ask at the venue what that changes.
Ask: what “(vgo)” on the smashed avo changes, and whether it can be made to the “(vg)” standard.
Merrymen — 2 Small Street, Hampton VIC 3188
Merrymen’s menu prints “Chunky Avocado Toast (VG) (GFO)”, and its legend reads “VG = Vegan”. “Toast & Preserves (V)” is also marked. The menu images on the venue’s site are labelled May, so the prices below may have changed since.
On the menu (copied from merrymenhampton.com on 3 October 2026):
- Chunky Avocado Toast (VG) (GFO): $20.00
Menu markers: (VG) is the vegan marker here; (V) and (GFO) are printed separately, so ask what each covers.
Roti Boti Indian Restaurant — 513 Hampton Street, Hampton VIC 3188
Roti Boti’s own site prints the line “Vegan, Gluten-Free & Vegetarian”, and the Australian Good Food Guide lists “Vegan Options”, “Dairy Free Options” and “Gluten Free Options” among its features. Every price listed here was taken from the takeaway menu page, so dine-in prices could be different. The menu describes the samosa as a triangle-shaped pastry stuffed with spiced peas and potatoes, served with sweet tamarind chutney, but the line we copied carries no vegan marker, so confirm it before you order. The site’s own pages give different dine-in hours, so call before heading over.
Fully plant-based or options: options, according to the Good Food Guide and the venue’s own heading; ask which dishes the kitchen treats as vegan.
Café Limoncello — 54 Station Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
Café Limoncello is in Sandringham, not Hampton. Its menu prints “MANGO SMOOTHIE BOWL (VG, GF)” and marks the smashed avocado “(V)” and “EGGS YOUR WAY (V, GF*)”. The site says “dogs (outside)” are welcome. Prices were read off image-only menu files, so check the current menu.
Ask: what the (V) on the smashed avocado means here, because the menu text we copied has no key for it.
Red Moose Smoothies & Wraps — 32 Waltham Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
Red Moose is a Sandringham takeaway. Its menu labels two dishes “(Vegan)”: “Columbia” is listed with Mexican seasoned beans, corn, salsa and brown rice, and “Dawson” with falafel, quinoa tabouli and hummus. The menu says weekday hot meals rotate, so a dish may not be on the day you visit. The prices below are other items on the same menu (the $8 soup is the mug size and the $16 acai bowl is the large); we have no printed price to pair with Columbia or Dawson, so we do not quote one.
The safe order: the two dishes the menu itself labels “(Vegan)”, once you have checked they are on that day.
Quick answers
Where can I find vegan food in Hampton?
Four of the six venues are in Hampton: Cornerstone & Co. (granola marked v, vg, df, nf), Lennox 3188 (acai bowl and mushroom medley marked “(vg)”), Merrymen (avocado toast marked “(VG)”) and Roti Boti (the Good Food Guide lists “Vegan Options”).
Is there vegan food in Sandringham, next to Hampton?
Two venues here are in Sandringham: Café Limoncello, which prints “MANGO SMOOTHIE BOWL (VG, GF)”, and Red Moose, which labels two dishes “(Vegan)”. Both are only a short way from Hampton, so check the address on the heading.
What do the V, VG and VGO letters on these menus mean?
Each menu uses its own letters. Cornerstone & Co. prints “vg= vegan”, Lennox 3188 prints “(vg) = Vegan” and Merrymen prints “VG = Vegan”. We have not decoded the other letters, so ask the venue what they cover.
Is any of these open for dinner?
Roti Boti is the one whose own site lists evening dining, “Dine-in 5.30pm to 10.30pm” on its contact block, though its home page gives a different closing hour, so call. The other five list daytime hours on their own sites.
