Our Favourite Vegan Restaurant. Every dish and drink including wine is Vegan. Try their Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. Only open for dinner and opens at 5pm. It's very popular so I recommend booking if your group as more than 2 people.

Shopping
It's had a very lovely face lift. If you are travelling there during busy season around Christmas I recommend paying for valet as it's only $10 (the last couple of years I've used them), the best way to find the valet is to turn left onto Hooker Blvd and take the man entrance along that road (stay in left lane to access)

On every Sunday morning. Located at the Art Centre in Bundall. You have to try the Mio Wraps. So many great food stands and fresh produce. Also the kids can play while you eat and relax... Locals love this place. I go myself most Sundays. It is open in the morning until 11am... But if you want the best produce go earlier than later.
