Vegan

Make conscious and considered choices when deciding what to buy and give.

When it comes to the beauty industry, sustainable and eco-conscious aren’t often the first words that come to mind, which is why we’re just a little bit obsessed with Anna Ross, the boss babe behind vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand Kester Black.

Living a plant-based life is certainly nothing new, but, as you may have noticed, the popularity of the vegan diet has been on the rise lately. Perth has become a hub for tasty vegan eats, with dedicated market stalls, cafes and restaurants popping up all over the place. 

That’s right, the team at May Street Larder have launched their new vegan soft-serve and it looks every bit as good as the dairy kind. Just over a five-minute drive from Port Beach, we suggest you make this your new go-to for a post salty swim treat. 

Being vegan can often make going out for breakfast a little tricky, given it’s a time of day that typically lends itself to eggs and bacon, and one where hunting down something plant-based isn’t exactly the easiest of tasks. Which kind of sucks, because breakfast is the best. The good news is, as the popularity of veganism continues to grow, more and more Perth cafes are coming to the party and serving up some very tasty vegan breakfast options. 

Double Rainbow has decided not to open for dine-in just yet, but they’ve upped the ante on their takeaway menu with a brand new vegan feed-me menu which will have you totally stuffed.

To save you the effort, we’ve scoured the streets to find the best vegan pizza Perth has to offer, dairy-free cheese and all.

Plant-based friends, tofu junkies, flexitarians, soy lovers (or literally anyone that loves a good feed)—listen up. Vegan Nights, an inner-city vegan night market, is coming to Yagan Square on 3 March so get hungry

You never realise how hard it is to buy for a vegan until you’re stuck doing it. Make things easy on yourself and treat your vegan friend to one of these treats.

Peace'za, everyone’s favourite vegan pizza joint is moving to the heart of Northbridge and if this isn’t the best early Christmas present you’ve ever received then we don’t know what is.

The ice cream gods have answered our prayers and will be bringing Billy Van Creamy, the much loved craft ice cream joint from the streets of Melbourne, to Northbridge next week, just in time to keep us cool as the weather heats up.

Hold onto your waffle cones ladies and gents because our fave vegan gelato shop, Roho Bure is springing open in Leederville, just in time for the warmer seasons.

When we think of Sweetwater, a few different things come to mind; incredible views, delectable dishes and insta worthy cocktails.

Being vegan is kinda tricky. You find that a bunch of random things you’ve never looked twice at are, in fact, not vegan. For example, tattoo ink can be made from charred animal bones. Um, excuse me?

In case you aren’t familiar with God’s greatest gift to man, it’s mac & cheese. In fact, you’ve probably heard your non-vegan mates carry on about it, usually when they’re about twelve Furphys deep and scrolling through UberEATS at a speed of seven venues a second. 

Yep, that’s right—grab your besties and run to your nearest Mecca because the whole Max range has been switched up, improved and is now proudly 100% vegan and cruelty free. 

Making your life easier one fast-food order at a time.

Glory Bowls is sitting pretty on Calais Road in Scarborough and considering how new it is (it only opened in June), I was shocked at how busy it was when I popped in for a mid-week lunch recently. It’s pretty clear this place is exactly what the locals have been patiently waiting for.

Yeah, they got you (all of you).

Sensitive skin sucks. Nothing’s worse than having a night on the town wearing a bomb make up look, only to wake up the next day with an itchy, rashy face. A lot of makeup on the shelves today make it seem like they’re going to your best option – they all read ‘hypoallergenic’ or ‘dermatologist tested’. 

Alright team, we’re about to change your life. Ready? Here goes: tofu is really freakin’ delicious, even if you’re not vegetarian. It turns out tofu isn’t just a sad excuse for protein that that vegans have to eat so they don’t waste away.  Given we’re super into this healthy white cloud from the East, we felt it was about time to fill you in on who’s plating up the best tofu dishes in Perth. You’re welcome!

People are becoming more aware of the impact consuming animal products has on our bodies and our planet and are gradually reducing their intake. With so many ways of doing this, you can hardly blame us for feeling a little lost when it comes to understanding what all these diets actually mean. We set out to discover what the differences between veganism and plant-based eating really are, and this is what we found.

Badlands Bar in Northbridge will be hosting a lavish veggie fiesta, complete with some amazing vegan food, wine, and beer on Sunday, 20 May 2018.

For those of you who have been living under a rock, Leonardo DiCaprio is a hardcore sustainability activist, so when he invested in Beyond Meat, a company making plant based burgers that apparently look and taste just like real meat, we were all ears.

Little Raw Deli will be serving limited edition pancakes for Easter, including hot cross bun pancakes.

With the countless new spots opening up on the daily and all of the incredible events thrown our way, Perth certainly has our wallets feeling a little lighter these days.

Imagine if vegan beauty was more than a hashtag? Could the cute bunny on the packaging really make a difference? Here at The Urban List, we like to think so and because we are a socially responsible bunch who likes to support Australian companies, we have sourced the absolute best so you can treat yourself guilt-free. No need to thank us, we're here to share the love!

A vegan food fair is hitting Perth this weekend, but it's not just a vegan food fair. It's a multicultural vegan food fair with eats catering to just about every allergy under the sun.
