Whether you’re a full-time, part-time or sometime veggiesaurus, the Veggie Patch Diner will please all plant-based leanings. It isn’t entirely ‘super food’ or ‘raw food’ but more accurately; ‘comfort food’ on the vegetarian dining spectrum. Inside its a humble diner-style place with light wood furnishings and a sunny courtyard out the back. Most of the food is on display at the front and ready-to-assemble if you’re in a rush. Like burgers? Well, you’ll be spoilt for choice here if you’re a vego. There are about 5 different kinds; like zucchini and feta, cajun spiced tofu or chipotle smoked mushroom. Personally, I cant go past the mixed plate. A rainbow of whatever the daily salads, edame falafel, changing dips — oh dips! — house made pickles and pita bread. It will fill you up good. Healthy, hearty, homely food.

Having tried the Veggie Patch Van twice, i decided to make the trek over the bridge to Paddington to visit the home of the van, the Veggie Patch Diner. And I’m so glad I did! The burgers are incredibly tasty for vegetarian food. I had the olive and almond burger. The mix of the beetroot relish, mayo, tomato relish were flavoursome, just like a great burger, and they were oozing out of the burger. The sweet potato chips with basil mayo are the bomb!!! I ordered them everytime I see the truck and here at the diner, I was presented with a bigger serving. They are my favourite chips in Sydney. Service is so-so, the food came out fast. You order at the counter and water is self-service. Décor is like that of a cute trendy café but nothing special. Food is the highlight here. Hours after lunch, I’m still salivating over the burgers and sweet potato chips. Cannot wait to return.
