Correction (9 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Because a marker on a menu is the venue’s own promise, we repeat markers as they appear and give a source for each claim. It covers six places with vegan options: five in Northcote and one in Thornbury.
For each place you get what the listing or menu says, the hours where a source names them, and one question to ask before you order. Where we could not find a kitchen statement, we say so rather than guess.
Every place was checked against two independent sources, and every price is copied from the page it was published on.

Brother Bon — 377-379 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
AGFG tags Brother Bon with Vegan Options, and also lists vegetarian and gluten free options. Its own site lists dinner Tuesday to Saturday, 5:30 to 9:30pm, and Sunday, 5:30 to 9pm. Lunch is listed for Saturday and Sunday, 11:30am to 3:30pm. We could not find a published menu or kitchen statement, so there are no prices here.
Ask: Whether the gluten free options AGFG lists are prepared apart from the rest of the kitchen, because we could not find a kitchen statement.
Fork & Path — 487 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
AGFG tags Fork & Path with Vegan Options, along with dairy free, gluten free and vegetarian options. The same listing shows breakfast, takeaway and alfresco dining. AGFG gives hours of 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM from Monday to Saturday, with Sunday closed. We could not find a website or menu, so which dishes carry the vegan tag is unconfirmed.
Menu markers: AGFG lists vegan, dairy free, gluten free and vegetarian options, and we could not find a menu showing which dishes they are.
Tahina — 223 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Tahina’s menu prints a VEGAN ‘CARROT’ HOT DOG (V) at $15.50, built on a black smoked bun with pickled cabbage, spiced cured carrot, tahini and amba. It also prints a FALAFEL BURGER (VO) with vegan aioli and a choice of vegetarian or vegan cheddar. The menu marks the falafel plates GFO, V, and the Sabich GFO, VO. AGFG lists hours of 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days.
On the menu (copied from tahinabar.com/menu on 5 October 2026):
- VEGAN ‘CARROT’ HOT DOG (V): $15.50
Ask: What the (VO) marker means for the Sabich, which the menu describes with a boiled egg, since we could not find a key on the menu.
Cuppa Turca — 262 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
AGFG tags Cuppa Turca with Vegan Options, dairy free options and gluten free options. Its own site says kunefe is a core product made with special sweet cheese and shred pastry, so that dish is not described as plant-based. The site lists Monday to Thursday, 6pm til 10pm, Friday 6pm til 11pm, and Saturday and Sunday 3pm til 11pm. We could not find a menu with prices.
Ask: Which desserts count as the vegan options AGFG lists, because we could not find a published menu to check.
Primo — 104 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Primo’s menu prints a Vegan Margherita at $27. AGFG lists vegetarian and gluten free options for the restaurant but does not tag vegan. Its site gives the hours as open seven days, 5 to 10pm. We could not find a kitchen statement about shared ovens or benches.
On the menu (copied from eatprimo.com.au/menu.html on 5 October 2026):
- Vegan Margherita: $27
Fully plant-based or options: Options, with the menu naming a Vegan Margherita and no published kitchen statement that we could find.
Gummo Cafe — 711 High Street, Thornbury VIC 3071
Gummo Cafe is in Thornbury, just outside Northcote. Its site lists $5 vegan meals on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and says the kitchen closes at midnight. The site gives hours of 5pm till late Tuesday to Friday, and 3pm till late Saturday and Sunday. The deal is a Tuesday and Wednesday offer only.
On the menu (copied from cafegummo.com/menu on 5 October 2026):
- vegan meals (Tuesdays and Wednesdays): $5
Ask: Which meal is the vegan one on the day, since the site prints the deal but we could not find which dishes it covers.
