Vegiera

Happy Cow already reports that Vegiera has closed

We were ready for lunch after visiting a friend in Beaumaris; Happy Cow turned up Vegiera as the nearest vegetarian spot and we figured we'd give it a go. Sadly, Happy Cow now reports that Vegiera is closed so this is probably just a document of a nice meal had rather than a usable recommendation for readers. 

Vegiera is nestled within a commercial/light industrial strip of Warrigal Road (and we made sure to stop by the neighbouring Savers for a browse before departure). While Vegiera is clean and naturally lit, it's difficult to shake off a certain food court vibe. They've got an appealing, all-vegetarian a la carte menu that spans the cooking traditions of Asia, with soups, appetisers, abundant rice and noodle-based dishes, curries and stir-fries, and a couple of desserts. Gluten-free options are well-marked.

   
 
Michael made the most of our visit, ordering a tempeh rendang ($19), served with five-grain rice. Look at those generous tempeh chunks, tender potatoes and luminous broccoli florets photographed up top! I was after something simpler and tried the omelette ($22), which was dense with veges and very well seasoned. I regret that I didn't have the appetite for Kado-kado, house-made sweet and sour balls, or Thai style fried rice - the Vegiera team seemed to be producing really nice vegetarian dishes with care.

Accessibility: Vegiera has a flat entry and a clear corridor through its length. Regular-height tables and backed chairs are arranged at medium-to-high density. We ordered and paid at a regular-height counter. There was a large, unisex toilet cubicle with accessibility features.

  1. We are heartbroken beyond words that Vegiera has shut down. We used to do our grocery shopping at Europa and always rewarded ourselves with lunch at Vegiera after that. But it disappeared all of a sudden and now we do not feel like going back there any longer. If they open up anywhere again, Happy Cow, please let your readers know!

    1. Yes, I'm sorry that they've shut! Happy Cow depends on all of us for notifications of what vegetarian eateries have opened of closed, so be sure to report to them yourself if you learn more.
