Elixiba

The Verdict

Elixiba is where you take your mates, if you’re trying to convince them there’s more to a vegetarian diet than eating lettuce. Seriously!

This plant-based restaurant and boutique herbal bar on Ocean Street is a total wellness hub that doesn’t cut corners on taste. Serving tapas-style dishes, you’ll be introducing non-believers to the veggie way of eating with coconut calamari, smoked edamame, and the ultimate full-stop to night out, the Tower of Heaven—a delicious Paleo chocolate chia cake with raw caramel mousse, raw banana ice cream and raw chocolate sauce.

On top of their ridiculously delicious menu, they also serve cocktails, non-alcoholic elixirs and beers on tap, infused with rare active botanicals. Sounds pretty special, huh?
