Correction (10 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 9 October 2026.

This is a short page: two places passed our two-source check, one in Patterson Lakes and one in nearby Chelsea. We would rather list two we can stand behind than pad it.

For each place we report only what the listing or the venue’s own site says about vegan food. This page prints no menu prices, so ask the venue before you go.

The two are an Afghan restaurant at Harbour Plaza and a Thai restaurant on the Nepean Highway.
