Whether it's mock meats, street food snacks or vegetarian banquets, these eateries have you covered, writes Dani Valent.

BO DE TRAI, 94 Hopkins Street, Footscray, 9689 9909. Daily lunch and dinner

You're likely to sit alongside Buddhist monks at this modest restaurant and takeaway. Mock meats such as imitation abalone or prawn stir-fry share billing with tofu and vegetable dishes.

SMITH AND DAUGHTERS, 175 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, 9939 3293. Tues-Sun dinner, Sat and Sun brunch

Plant-based and passionate, Smith and Daughters manages to be right-on without being po-faced. The food is exuberant and creative: how about cashew cheesy dip, or Brazilian slaw with apple, olives, sauteed mushrooms and crispy tortillas.

GUJJU'S, 141-147 Waverley Road, Malvern East, 9571 1188. Daily dinner, Sat and Sun lunch

Vegetarian banqueting from the Indian state of Gujarat is the deal here. Enjoy chaat (street food snacks) and thalis (meal-on-a-tray dishes). There's also a Gujju's in Werribee.
