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.
Five places in and around Keilor have vegan menu items or vegan tags on a source we could read: three in Keilor, one in Kealba and one in Taylors Lakes. For each, we report the marker exactly as the menu or listing prints it, and nothing beyond it.
Markers such as V, VG and VE come from the venues’ own menus. AGFG’s Vegan Options tag for Caffe Dolce is a listing flag, not a menu. We could not find a published kitchen statement about shared fryers or dedicated kitchens for any of the five, so for allergies or strict avoidance, ask the venue before you order.

Keilor Hotel — 670 Old Calder Highway, Keilor VIC 3036
Keilor Hotel’s own bistro menu, the Winter Bistro Menu 2026, prints a Vegan Burger (vg)(df) at $29.90 at the time of writing, and Garlic Bread (v) at $8.90. The menu carries the (vg), (df) and (v) markers itself, and this page does not read them beyond what is printed. AGFG tags the hotel Alfresco Dining, and its site lists Takeaway Meals.
On the menu (copied from img1.wsimg.com/Winter%20Bistro%20Menu%202026%20(1).pdf on 4 October 2026):
- Vegan Burger (vg)(df): $29.90
Kitchen statement: We could not find a published statement from Keilor Hotel about fryers or shared preparation, so ask when you order.
Caffe Dolce — 682 Old Calder Hwy, Keilor VIC 3036
AGFG tags Caffe Dolce with Vegan Options, Breakfast, Child Friendly, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining; these are listing flags rather than menu text. Its Facebook page calls it a cozy cafe with a great coffee, food and atmosphere. AGFG lists Caffe Dolce’s hours as 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays, 6:00 AM to 3:30 PM on Saturday and 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM on Sunday. We could not read a menu, so we name no dish and print no price.
Fully plant-based or options: Options, going by AGFG’s Vegan Options tag; ask which items are vegan, because the tag does not name any.
Arundel Farm Estate — 321 Arundel Rd, Keilor VIC 3036
Arundel Farm Estate’s site says its menus include vegetarian and gluten-free options for all diners, and its menu file marks INSALATA MISTA (V, GF, VE). Arundel Farm Estate’s menu also prints FOCACCIA ALL AGLIO (V, GFO) at $20 and MARGHERITA (V, GFO) at $25. The table shows a bottle of Marsanne 2023 at $29.00 from Arundel Farm Estate’s online shop, which is a wine price, not a food item. Its contact page says the last day for 2026 is Sunday 20th December and that it reopens Friday 8th January 2027.
Menu markers: The menu prints V, GF, VE and GFO beside dishes, so start with INSALATA MISTA (V, GF, VE) and ask the venue what each marker covers.
Kealba Hotel — Cnr Sunshine Avenue & Main Road East, Kealba VIC 3021
Kealba Hotel’s bistro menu PDF, which is undated, marks VEGAN SCHNITZEL at $26 and GARLIC BREAD (V) at $8. Kealba Hotel’s site lists bistro hours of 11:30AM to 2:30PM and 5:30PM to 8:30PM from Monday to Thursday. The venue publishes no street number, so the heading uses AGFG’s corner wording.
On the menu (copied from img1.wsimg.com on 4 October 2026):
- VEGAN SCHNITZEL: $26
The safe order: VEGAN SCHNITZEL, since the menu itself labels it; that is a menu label, not a kitchen statement, and the PDF is undated, so check it is current.
Pizza Depot Taylors Lakes — 1/3 Melton Hwy, Taylors Lakes VIC 3038
Pizza Depot Taylors Lakes’ own ordering page has a section headed Vegan Pizzas and prints $20.00 Vegan Margarita, and it lists both pickup and delivery. The card for the Vegan Margarita prints no size, so confirm the size when you order. Pizza Depot Taylors Lakes’ site lists Monday to Thursday hours of 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm, and its footer reads Next Order 2025, so check the menu is current.
On the menu (copied from pizza-depot-taylors-lakes.nextorder.com on 4 October 2026):
- Vegan Margarita: $20.00
Ask: Which size the $20.00 Vegan Margarita is, since the ordering card we read prints none.
Quick answers
Which pubs near Keilor have a vegan main?
Keilor Hotel’s bistro menu prints a Vegan Burger (vg)(df) at $29.90 at the time of writing. Kealba Hotel’s bistro PDF marks VEGAN SCHNITZEL at $26. Both are menu labels, so ask the venue about the kitchen.
Is there vegan pizza near Keilor?
Pizza Depot Taylors Lakes, a short way from Keilor, has a Vegan Pizzas section on its ordering page and prints $20.00 Vegan Margarita. The card prints no size, so confirm it when you order.
Does Keilor have a vegan-friendly cafe?
Caffe Dolce at 682 Old Calder Hwy is tagged Vegan Options by AGFG. That is a listing flag, not a menu, and we could not read a menu or prices, so ask which items are vegan.
Do these Keilor places say their vegan food suits allergies?
We could not find a published kitchen statement about fryers, shared kitchens or certification for any of the five places, so treat the markers as menu labels and not as allergen guidance. Ask the venue directly before you order, especially for coeliac needs or allergies.
