Neko Neko is a rare find: a small, friendly, vegan (and pescatarian) Japanese restaurant in the heart of trendy Fitzroy.

The go-to dish a Neko Neko is their enigmatically infused spiced vegan ramen that is just perfect when you need winter warming. With a legendary 20-ingredient vegetable stock as it’s base, it’s plant-based wizardry in a bowl.

There are numerous vegetarian and vegan options available and Neko Neko (which stands for ‘Cat Cat’) also boasts a wonderful selection of soups packed with mushrooms and egg-free noodles.

The vegan Okonomiyaki is also worth a try, as it cleverly trades the traditional eggs for the cream of cashews.

A personal favourite is the vegan Smoked Katsu Burger with vegan Thai basil and Chips with vegan Curry Mayo. It’s true comfort food, and as decadent as it sounds!

Neko Neko is an innovative and highly recommended Japanese restaurant. Give it a try.
