Great vegan lunch - Edit
We visited Let Them Eat Vegan in March 2025 for lunch while on holiday. We were impressed with their menu which included some pretty creative items. We ordered the mac 'n' cheese burrito and the bangers 'n' mash burrito and both were delicious and decent value for money. Staff were friendly and we were able to sit outside to eat which suited us perfectly. Always great to visit a vegan place and would definitely recommend if you're in Dunedin.

Just amazing - Edit
You have to go here. The best place we’ve been to in NZ (and possibly the world). We had the totally original burrito, mac and cheese burrito, salami and cheddar baguette and doughnuts and everything was incredible. My favourite was the totally original burrito. Free coffee with purchases over $10. I keep thinking about the doughnuts and wish we bought more!
Read moreLovely owner who is really friendly and amazing at what she does.
They also sell different cheeses and fake meats. We tried and loved the cheese spread, truffle cheese wedge and salami.

That was amazing! We loved everything about it. We loved the food creations, loved that they make their own "cheeses" and "meats", loved the vibes! Highly recommend!

Let them eat vegan - Edit
So far, this is our favorite place for food in New Zealand. We had two burritos that tasted really good and then some donuts. You can get really great food here for little money.

Excellent tiny vegan outlet in the middle of Dunedin. Great choice every day, always hot food (burritos) and baguettes plus various pies and excellent doughnuts. Wide range of fake meats and cheeses too. Tofu banh mi baguette especially good.

Very small, worth it! - Edit
Great offerings and staff. Small space with only outdoor seating, so account for that when visiting, but highly recommend taking a takeaway to a park or one of many other picturesque spots nearby.

Deserving of it's top restaurant title! - Edit
It was closed when we passed through Dunedin so we went back again the next day to try it out. SO worth it! Staff are awesome, menu changes each day... Generously filled burritos, baguettes and subs. Free coffee if you spend over $10 (bring your own keep cup), delicious donuts and a fridge full of delicious sounding cheeses and deli meats. Can't wait to try our selection. Highly recommend!
Read morePros: Everything! , Fantastic staff , A bargain for the quality and portion size
Cons: Nothing at all!

Adorable, earth conscious, tasty - Edit
I got two jalapeño toasties and a selection of cream filled doughnuts to share - custard, crème caramel, and coffee cream. Gorgeous texture on the doughnuts and the creams were good too. The coffee one was a perfect 10/10, the caramel was nice, 7/10, but the vanilla taste in the custard on was very synthetic, 3/10. The person working gave me a little sample of the cheddar cheese spread which was delicious, but I think it was too liquidy for the toasty and ended up being more like a sauce than a cheese. Maybe the block cheese would work better. If I lived in the area I would pick up a few cheeses, spreads, and fake meats to try at home. My favorite thing about this place is their to-go containers: repurposed alternative milk boxes! They can’t be recycled here in NZ, so might as well make them useful again. Super cool.

Yum - Edit
Cute little spot, my only complaint is that I wish they were bigger. There is a bit of seating outside that is nice, but everything is great for takeaway as well. The fried Camembert balls were so yummy, the burritos and sandwiches change daily, but they use their house made cheeses and meats that are also available to buy! Super yum. I wish there was one of these in every city

Good food, wish there was more variety - Edit
I wish the menu was a bit more extensive. I was hoping to have dinner here but they seemed to only have junk food. I just got a cupcake to go. That being said, the cupcake was very very good. The frosting wasn't too sweet, the flavors were very well balanced. And they gave it to me in a reused soy milk container which I've never seen before and very much appreciate. 'reuse' comes before 'recycle' after all

Belter burrito - Edit
Sought this place out based on good reviews and they weren't wrong! Had delicious mac and cheese 'burritos', I didn't have a doughnut as I was saving myself for vegan gelato elsewhere but they looked tasty! The staff member that served us was very kind, the location is cool and hidden away and the outside seating was grand for a sunny day (be aware there's no inside seating!). Definitely worth a visit if you are in Dunedin.

Small but Loved it! - Edit
The food was really good, filling and satisfying. We loved the "cheese balls" and the "baguette sandwich" (can't remember the name though...)
Read moreLoved the fact that you can have coffee with soy milk if you spend 10$ there.
We tried also the donuts and it was yummy!
Too bad they don't have seats inside but if you're lucky you can seat outside under the sun!
Pros: Affordable , Free coffee
Cons: Not may spaces

Really nice place - Edit
The place is really small (only outside) but really nice on a sunny day ! The 'cheese' was sooo good (mac n cheese wrap), but I was less keen on the fake chicken. A free filter coffee when you pay more than 10$, which is really nice !
Read morePrices are on the average for NZ, maybe the wraps were little bit small ?
I didn't try their deserts but they looked really good.
Pros: Cheese, Free coffee !, Outdoor tables
Cons: Fake meat

A bit above average - Edit
They make nice fake meats, but not as good as what you get in Europe. Some flavours are too strong (the fennel seed), but otherwise the texture is pretty good.

Great food and groceries - Edit
They have a very limited offer every day, two or three items, but it changes daily and portions are big. You also get a free coffee with a purchase of minimum 10 dollars.
Read moreI had their mac'n'cheese burrito and salami and cheddar baguette, both were fabulous, inexpensive and big portions (specially the baguette). I also tried their sweets, cupcake was fine, chocolate and strawberry cake a bit disappointing. They sell their own deli brand, which is top rated!
Pros: Central location , Inexpensive , Great food
Cons: Limited offer, Not much seating (and only outdoor), Not open every day
