This initiative is utterly philanthropic, a true testament too humanity. Although one may think hippy buffet vegetarian cuisine isn't their style, honestly, the food is incredible. Each night of the week is a different type of cuisine, and every night is scrumptious. Don't expect a table for 8 or anything, a place this great is far from a secret, there is always the gorgeous greens to sit and enjoy your food al fresco style on.

Always blown away with the delicious fresh and healthy food and the adequately strong coffees. If you haven't tried it yet, give the vegetarian lasagne a try. I think it's on Saturdays.

Lentil As Anything was amazing! We were there as part of a school retreat and the staff there made us feel so welcome. There is a huge variety of food, and it is all vegan, healthy and delicious! You pay as much as you feel your meal is worth, and this goes to support Lentil in their operations. It is entirely non-for-profit and run by volunteers. Such a hidden gem!

Love this place, when I found it.. he he he. Can be hard to locate but do persist guys as its an awesome place to relax and share some lovely cooked food made with love! Pay what you feel, but I assure you you will be impressed and pay well.

Totally got the concept - pay what you feel its worth. I am an over payer for sure because everything is just so delicious. Its hard sometimes to find a great vegetarian place but this one is just the best around. Can get really busy so be prepared to wait.

With the concept of eat til you're happy and full, then pay whatever you feel like, and a vegan and vegetarian menu, this place is amazing. Even my anti-vegan, anti-vegetarian husband ate and loved the food here. He even can't wait to go back! The food is very yummy and healthy and at lunch, you can keep going back for as much as you like. And you pay what you want to. A good way to show your level appreciation for the food served. So amazing and not for profit. Definitely worth the trip and and worth supporting their cause. I also cannot wait to go back! :)

Approximate cost: $2.00 - 3.00

Place is a great concept. Buffet style meals, self serve vegetarian food. The best part is the meals are all pay what you want to. If you short on cash this is a great option.
Most staff are volunteers. Meals are pretty basic chick pea, potatoes, Moroccan style food.
Great option for lunch, customers can each as much food as they like. While the food is pretty standard they also have a barista who makes great coffee's.
While the food is not amazing 5 star quality, for what you are getting it is great value.

Approximate cost: $as much as you like.

If there's a hole in your wallet this is the perfect place to go to get a hearty feed. There's a selection of vegetarian and vegan food in baine maries which is all organised by volunteers. Once you've eaten there's a donation box where you pay what you feel. There's options to eat both inside or outside in the sun.

Paying what you feel the meal was worth is an innovative concept, particularly combined with the fact that the majority of the staff are volunteers or have newly moved to Australia. There is a wide range of vegetarian food with some vegan options available. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and on a nice day you can expect the place to be packed! Good location too, in the Abbotsford Convent. Expect to see at least a few dogs milling around.

These guys do amazing work! Staffed by volunteers you pay what you feel the meal was worth. The food is served buffet style and you can eat as much as you want. It's always very tasty and it's all vegetarian. It's not a fine dining experience but provides good wholesome food for as much as you want to pay.
