• Vegetarian / Vegan • South Yarra

Booked 5 times today

A collaboration with renowned Melbourne chefs Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters, Smith & Daughters Deli) and Ian Curley (French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar), Lona Misa is a rebellious renaissance from root to stem, sustainably crafted to be seasonal, full of flavour, and memorable. The result? "A deliciously lively eatery that provides the ideal setting for coming together and taking part in the simple act of enjoying good food that is kind to the planet" (TimeOut). Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining.

Hands down one of the best vegan meals I have ever had in my life. Atmosphere and decor were amazing, our waiter Earl was really friendly and attentive and the food was next level. We had the skewers for entree, the shared BBQ platter for main and the chocolate tort for dessert. Every dish outdid our expectations on every level. My mother-in-law who is not vegan dined with us and she was really impressed with the quality of the dishes too. This is a must try if in Melbourne and lolling for an amazing vegan dining experience.
