Vegan Food in Richmond: Six Places and What They List

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.

This page reports what six places in and around Richmond say about vegan food: the markers printed on their menus, the options AGFG tags, and what each venue says about itself. Five sit in Richmond. One, Serotonin Eatery, is placed in Burnley by AGFG, under the same 3121 postcode.

We copy menu markers exactly as printed and we do not translate them. We found no published kitchen statement at any of the six about shared or dedicated fryers and surfaces, so each entry ends with one thing to ask the venue.

Richmond Social — 157 Swan Street, Richmond VIC 3121

Richmond Social’s menu prints the Vegan Cheeseburger as a plant based patty with vegan cheese, burger sauce and chips, marked (ve), at $29. The same menu prints the Chicken Schnitzel at $28 with a (veo) marker. Its site also lists a kids menu.

On the menu (copied from richmondsocial.com.au/RS_bistromenu.pdf on 4 October 2026):

  • Vegan Cheeseburger: $29

Ask: Whether the Vegan Cheeseburger is cooked in a shared or dedicated fryer, and what (veo) stands for on the schnitzel.

Riché — 3/189 Bridge Road, Richmond VIC 3121

Riché’s menu prints (DF)(V)(VG) beside its Porridge at $18.00, made with organic rolled oats soaked in coconut water, candied walnuts, coconut milk and seasonal fruits. It prints the same three markers beside the Granola Panna Cotta at $19.00. The French Toast at $21.00 carries only (V). The site lists Monday to Saturday 7am to 3:30pm and Sunday 8am to 3:30pm, and describes a relaxed outdoor dining area.

On the menu (copied from riche3121.com.au on 4 October 2026):

  • Porridge (DF)(V)(VG): $18.00
  • Granola Panna Cotta (DF)(V)(VG): $19.00

Menu markers: The menu prints (DF)(V)(VG) on the porridge and the granola panna cotta, and (V) on the French toast.

Serotonin Eatery — 52 Madden Grove, Richmond VIC 3121

AGFG tags Serotonin Eatery with Vegan Options, Vegetarian Options, Gluten Free Options, Breakfast, Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly and Takeaway. AGFG lists Wednesday to Friday 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Since no menu prices were copied, none are shown on this page.

Fully plant-based or options: AGFG’s tag is Vegan Options, and we found no statement of a fully vegan menu, so treat it as options.

Fritz Gelato — 334 Bridge Road, Richmond VIC 3121

Fritz Gelato’s site says it has products suitable for vegans, coeliacs and diabetics, and that its kids scoop is a tiny taste. The site lists Open 7 days a week. It does not say which flavours are the vegan ones in the text we read.

Ask: Which flavours are the vegan ones, and whether they are scooped with shared equipment.

Bombay Meri Jaan — 94 Victoria Street, Richmond VIC 3121

Bombay Meri Jaan’s menu prints the SAMOSA (2 PC) (NF, VG) at $12.95. It prints the Dal Makhani (GF, V) at $18.98 and the Palak Paneer (GF, NF, V) at $19.98, and the TANDOORI PANEER TIKKA (GF, NF, V) at $16.95. AGFG lists it with Gluten Free Options, Takeaway and Romantic, and with dinner hours of 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM every day.

On the menu (copied from bombaymerijaan.com.au on 4 October 2026):

  • SAMOSA (2 PC) (NF, VG): $12.95

Menu markers: The samosa carries (VG) and the paneer tikka, dal makhani and palak paneer carry (V) and (GF); these are the menu’s own markers, not a kitchen statement, so ask what (V) means here.

A Thousand Blessings — 251 Highett Street, Richmond VIC 3121

A Thousand Blessings is at 251 Highett Street, and we found no website of its own, so this entry rests on OpenStreetMap and AGFG. AGFG tags it with Vegan Options, Vegetarian Options, Gluten Free Options, Breakfast, Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly, Pet Friendly and Takeaway. AGFG lists Monday to Saturday 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM - 2:30 PM.

Ask: Which dishes sit behind the Vegan Options tag, since we could not find a menu to check.
