Located just five minutes north of Melbourne CBD, Shannon Martinez, head chef and owner of Fitzroy's Smith & Daughters is SMASHING vegan stereo types.

This is vegan food but not like you've ever seen it before. This is food so good you'll forget it's locally sourced produce being carefully crafted into a 100% mouthwatering vegan feast. Forget everything you thought you knew about vegan food, with Shannon Martinez's and her teams' approach to vegan cuisine, this is one restaurant that could tempt even the most staunch carnivore.

Smith & Daughters is leading the way with meat-free offerings in Melbourne, inspiring countless cafes and restaurants around the state to serve up a fresh new take on traditional vegetarian dishes inspired by locally grown, seasonally fresh fruits and vegetables.
