Smith + Daughters

One of the top three vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever visited. Creative seasonal menus featuring unique items with complex tastes, served attractively. Absolutely loved the kofta and chicken pastilla. Attentive and friendly servers. A bit difficult to find, as the building down the street has the same street number. Bench seating was ok but would be better if it was deeper and higher.

Today was my second time to Smith + Daughters and both times were excellent. The first was in late November 2025- I was in a party of 3 and we just ordered one of everything from the starters and mains. We over ordered (an us problem- our eyes were bigger than our tummies) but everything was delicious. My friends had been to a rather expensive vegan degustation in Elsternwick the night before and felt that the food at Smith + Daughters was better! The second time I was in a party of 2 so we did the chef's choice 4 course menu. Luckily the second time the chef's choice included my particular favourites of the fava dip (with flatbread), and white beans with padron peppers. I also really enjoyed the stuffed Lebanese zucchini, the asparagus, and the "chicken" pastilla. We also enjoyed the chocolate mousse dessert which I didn't have room for the first time. I could probably have skipped the dessert (although it was delicious) as I was sufficiently full from the savoury courses. I also wish we had a padron pepper each instead of one between two on the dish but it is a small criticism. Tonight we were served by Paris and another server who I didn't catch the name of, both of whom were friendly and attentive. Overall both experiences were 5 stars! I will definitely be back again.

The food was superb and our server Paris was simply the best! We had the 4-course chef’s choice menu, which had great variety and each dish was delicious. A wonderful evening, we will definitely be back again soon. Thank you 💕

Came here for sous chef Vran and mind was blown. Not a big fan of vegan food but I’m a huge fan of vegan done right since adding more flavor to non-meat products is as hard as defusing a quantum bomb. Service is really “in your face” as in they really look the part, a band of brothers and sisters in arms, always feel really fun and lively here. Thank you Shannon, Vran and the team at Smith + Daughters.

What a great plant-based dining experience in such a beautiful, vibrant space! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. The food and drinks were absolutely incredible. The menu has something for everyone to enjoy together. It was a perfect dining experience all around. I’ll definitely be back soon!
