Veggie Mama
published on 24th November, 2011

The vegetarian option is often much better for you than a big slab of fatty meat is. Although I am a dedicated carnivore, that fantastic feeling you get when you have downed a bowl of heartwarming beans and vegetables cannot be ignored! While they are low on the ground in Perth, the vegetarian joints that do exist often hold a ‘I-love-the-smell-of-my-own-shit’ aura that radiates from the staff’s vitamin-enriched skin.

Veggie Mama are cute, and there is no air of pretension whatsoever. The food speaks for itself – most of it is prepared in the owner’s own commercial kitchen and deliveries are three times a day. There is a real nice mix of fresh crispy salads (including one of slithers of beetroot, carrot and sprouts) that ooze goodness, plus the chickpea and sweet potato patty is killer. There’s such a mix of different foods – quiches, veggie slices, and filo pastries – that you can easily mix and match to create your ideal, healthy vegetarian feast. At this rate, vego’s shall inherit the earth!
