Visited almost 4 years ago

So glad to see Smith & Daughters still going strong and hope they're there for many years to come. I stumbled across some photos from our visit and it brought back memories of a lovely evening there. I think we will have to go back one day!

The best dinner I’ve ever had

I think I’ve said this a few times, but I mean it this time. This is one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. Every course of the 9 course set menu was amazing in its own way, and the staff were great.

Cannot recommend this place enough for a romantic dinner date

Good, but disappointing.

Food is good but not great, certainly not on the level of the price tag. Pretentious and elitist atmosphere, many may find this off putting, the same applies to the cafe/shop next door.

Pros: Vegan only

Cons: Price does not match experience, Pretentious and elitist atmosphere, off-putting , Over priced

Superb!

Superb dining experience! We had the degustation- they said it was 4 courses but there were about 3 plates per course with one plate to share for dessert between 2 people. Really impressed with the food and ambience and service, such a wonderful dining experience. It was $95 per head. Considering they make their own cheeses and creams and the quality of the food i believe it was worth the price. We were so full too and struggled to fit in the dessert even though the tiramisu was delicious. The wine was also very nice and the wait staff were very attentative and made is feel very welcome.

Pros: All vegan, Superb dining, Housemade cheeses and cream

Cons: Very expensive, No menu just surprise degustation

Love it!

Good variety of unique dishes, including vegan versions of classics that I haven't seen before. Truffle arancini and chicken provencal were my personal highlights. Love the venue, service was great, highly recommend.

Went here for my birthday, the food was so good and it was nice to have something a bit different to the usual vegan options!

Amazing banquet menu

Everything on the Mediterranean menu was superb. All dishes were fragrant and delicious. The ‘chicken’ was out of this world good.
Fantastic place to go for any occasion.

High quality vegan food

I was given a gift voucher to this place and I used it to have a fantastic night with my friend where we sampled so many incredibly tasty dishes and desserts. It was the best meal we'd had in a long time.

Always phenomenal

Their menu changes every so often (to a new cuisine) but the food is always the best - vegan or not - I’ve tried. It’s the perfect place to bring friend or family who are not vegan as they are always gobsmacked at how delicious everything is.

Cool atmosphere, service is friendly. They’re always busy though so make a booking.

I always love getting the ‘feast me’ option because I get to try things I’d not think of ordering and have discovered some fave that way. But be warned - it’s A LOT of food, so come hungry!

Pros: Best vegan food ever

Legendary Restaurant

Love Smith and Daughters! It has a great vibe, friendly staff and always amazing food.

Recently, we ordered from the At Home menu, as we are in lockdown. It certainly did not disappoint!
Innovative combinations and flavours and easy to heat and eat at home.

Decent. Probably ordered incorrectly.

We went here prior to covid. Cute corner shop with fun ambiance! Community seating at some tables. We ordered the pasta with meatballs and the tiramisu. The pasta sauce and noodles were tasty, but we could have done without the meatballs. The texture was a bit soft and we didn't love the flavor. The tiramisu was good! We'd go back to try something different.

Cons: Expensive

Amazing! And so full afterwards

Went there for the Saturday set menu which was delicious! The mock chicken was the highlight! There was so much food we almost didn’t finish it all 😂. Staff were really friendly and I can see why this place gets the hype! Would recommend

Love love love Smith & Daughters

I'm so surprised to see people saying they left hungry - I am always fit to burst after a trip to Smith & Daughters. High recommend for the Feast Me menu if you're worried about going hungry, they are definitely over feeders

The food is inventive, interesting and a real showcase of plant-based goodness. While I love mock meat, I'd definitely recommend tucking into the vegetable dishes, as they are unlike what you get anywhere else.

The meals at home they did during lockdown were inspired and a real joy to cook and eat.

I don't know why people are upset in some of the reviews that Shannon Martinez isn't vegan. She has never claimed to be. She showcases and celebrates plant-based food across both her 'Smith &' businesses and provides so many opportunities to learn about vegan food through her Instagram. She's one of the biggest supporters of the community and her venue is all vegan, why should we care if she is?

Oh my god

Known as the home of the Queen of Vegan food herself, Shannon's menu is just divine. The Ragu and Vodka Meatballs have been the stand out dishes that I have tried but everything has been fantastic! Its a busy spot so make sure you book a table, the staff are super friendly and the vibe is just right for that quirky alternative feel mashed together with an fancy restaurant. Will continue to return again and again and tell everyone I know about it.

Unethical establishment don’t go there

Terrible place run by an unethical owner cashing in on the Vegan movement, if your Vegan don’t go there because the owner and chef is a Carnist!

Pros: None

Cons: Unethical business run by a Carnist, False advertising

The food here is insane. Everything is great and such great quality. I love having the option of the staff picking your food for you, adds a bit of fun to the night. Not too expensive either.

Amazing

The service was amazing, our server was happy to make recommendations and describe dishes in detail.
The restaurant itself has a good atmosphere.
It’s a little on the pricy side but it’s good for a treat and I think it’s definitely worth the price as the food is absolutely delicious and really good portion sizes too.

The tiramisu was amazing!!

Pros: Good service, Tasty food, Good atmosphere
