Gluten-Free Expo

Sep 8, 2024 | concreteplayground.com | Lauren Vadnjal

If you were diagnosed with coeliac disease over ten years ago you were given a packet of rice crackers, an apple and an apologetic smile as you were sent out into the big, bad, wheat-filled world. Now, it's a different story.

Aunty Peg's

Aug 1, 2023 | concreteplayground.com | Lauren Vadnjal

If you wander into Aunty Peg's looking for a latte, you won't find one. But rather than being turned away, you'll be sat down at the bar. You'll be talked through the coffee, perhaps given a taste or a smell (no obligation, of course). And before you know it, you'll probably be sipping a nitrogen-charged cold brew straight out of a beer glass. That seems like standard practice at Aunty Peg's, which opened way back in 2014 to showcase and sell the best beans Proud Mary can find.

Jul 1, 2023 | concreteplayground.com | Lauren Vadnjal |Gary Brun

Sister of Soul has St Kilda and the bayside area covered with its all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner vegetarian and vegan menu. With dishes like polenta jenga, tofu tikka masala and a black bean burrito, this is a surefire way to get your vegan fill after a session at the beach. Just make sure you save room for its version of a jaffa cake with chocolate and orange marmalade.

The Cornish Arms Hotel

Jun 30, 2023 | concreteplayground.com | Lauren Vadnjal

As well as being a stand-up Sydney Road pub, The Cornish Arms is also an amazing place for vegans. That's because, alongside the traditional pub fare, it also serves up some pretty great vegan meals. Love a parma but don't eat meat? The crumbed mock chicken parma (with vegan mozzarella) will hit the spot. Got a hankering for some seafood? The vegan fishless and chips — with vegan fishes fillets and mushy peas — is sure to fix you right up.
