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, which is why this page repeats each marker as printed and goes no further. Three places in Mount Waverley had enough on the public record for us to stand behind them, and each one lists a vegan item on a menu that also has meat, egg or dairy dishes. Our check did not turn up a fully vegan venue in the suburb.
All three addresses are in Mount Waverley: two on Hamilton Walk and Hamilton Place, one on Waverley Road. For each place you get what is marked, a price where the menu prints one, and one question to put to the kitchen. We have not tested any kitchen, so nothing here says a dish is safe for an allergy or for coeliac disease. That is a question for the venue on the day.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A cafe dish marked VG on the menu | Son of Tucci | Acai quinoa porridge (VG, NS) | not quoted here; see the menu page |
| A dumpling plate that is named as vegan | Proud Peacock | Vegan Dumplings | $17.00 |
| A pizza that is named as vegan | Farina Pizza & Pasta | Lrg Vegan Margherita | not quoted here; see the Vegan Pizza section |
Son of Tucci — 5 Hamilton Walk, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Son of Tucci’s own site lists “ACAI QUINOA PORRIDGE (VG, NS)”. We are not quoting a price for the porridge here, so check it on the menu page. The menu prints V, VG, VGO, NS and other markers beside dishes and carries its own key at the foot of the page, which reads VG as vegan and NS as containing nuts and seeds; read the key before you order.
The priced vegetarian items we copied are fruit toast (V) with butter and house jam, the holy cheese toastie (V) and the French toast (V, NS). The site’s menu page says “SEE OUR MENU ON INSTAGRAM”, so the prices below may lag the Instagram menu. Its own site prints weekday and weekend opening hours in the page footer; the OpenStreetMap listing carries no hours.
Menu markers: the menu prints (V), (VG), (VGO), (NS) and (VO) beside dishes and its own key reads VG as vegan and VGO as a vegan option, so ask at the counter what the vegan option changes and whether the kitchen shares a pan or toaster.
Proud Peacock — 28 Hamilton Place, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Proud Peacock is a Vietnamese restaurant, and its site lists “Vegan Dumplings” at $17.00. The same page prints pork dumplings at the same price, so the vegan version is a named dish beside a meat one rather than a separate vegan menu. The menu line describes them as “Steamed vegetarian dumplings”, so the dish is named vegan in its title and vegetarian in its description; the page does not say what is in the filling.
The menu page shows only a short list of dishes under a heading that reads “Menu Coming Soon”, so treat these prices as indicative and check before you go. Its site lists opening as “Tuesday – Saturday: 11:30am to 3:00pm and 5:30pm to 10:00pm Sunday: 11:30am to 3:00pm.” and the site also has a take away page.
On the menu (copied from proudpeacock.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Vegan Dumplings: $17.00
Ask: what the vegan dumplings are filled with, whether the “vegetarian” description means any egg or dairy, and whether they are steamed apart from the pork ones, because the menu line does not say.
Farina Pizza & Pasta — 173 Waverley Road, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Farina’s own ordering site lists a “Lrg Vegan Margherita”, described as “Tomato base, vegan cheese, herbs, garlic and basil”. We are not quoting a price for the vegan margherita here; it is listed under the site’s Vegan Pizza heading, so check the price when you order. The $16.95 below is for the standard Margherita ( V ), which the menu describes with mozzarella, so it is a vegetarian pizza and not the vegan one.
The site asks you to select pickup or delivery. It runs its own ordering page, and at the time we captured it the page said the store was closed but you could still order for later.
Fully plant-based or options: options only; the vegan margherita sits on a menu that also lists pepperoni and a Virginia ham parma.
Quick answers
Is there a fully vegan restaurant in Mount Waverley?
Not among the places we could verify. Our check did not turn up a fully vegan venue, and the three places above each list a vegan item on a broader menu. Son of Tucci marks a porridge VG, Proud Peacock names Vegan Dumplings, and Farina names a Vegan Margherita.
Which vegan dishes are on these menus?
Son of Tucci lists ACAI QUINOA PORRIDGE (VG, NS). Proud Peacock lists Vegan Dumplings at $17.00. Farina lists a Lrg Vegan Margherita with a tomato base, vegan cheese, herbs, garlic and basil. These are the vegan-named dishes we have recorded; Farina’s ordering site also lists other pizzas under a Vegan Pizza heading, and there may be more on menus we could not see in full.
Are the prices reliable?
Treat them as a guide. Every price on this page was copied from the venue’s page on 3 October 2026, but Son of Tucci’s menu page points to Instagram and Proud Peacock’s menu page is headed “Menu Coming Soon”. Confirm with the venue before you order.
Can I get vegan food as takeaway?
Farina’s ordering site offers pickup or delivery, and Proud Peacock’s site has a take away link. Whether the vegan items are available on those menus is something we did not confirm, so ask when you order.
