Gopals - Best restaurant in this trip ! healthiest and best value!


 This is the last restaurant in Melbourne and like the most! 

Thanks to Sharon, who lives in Melbourne and has been vegetarian for eight years recommend this restaurant. Her most favourite vegetarian is ” Young green food ” on Brunswick st but I simply didn’t have time to go that far. I will go next time I am in Melbourne. 

Gopals- seves Hare Krishna meals  NO ONION, GARLIC !!!

Even though it is in the middle of CBD, it has peaceful atmosphere. 

Love the ” green view” 

Indian paintings…

Hare Krishna meal doesn’t mean it is all Indian. You can have vegetarian lasagna!

there are a few ” meal deal ”  

  • $8.5- Kofta ball, rice and salad
  • $9.9- Lasagna and green salad
  • $10.9- 2 kind of veggie dish, salad, rice or nan, juice and desert
  • $11.9- soup, 2 kind of veggie dish, salad, rice or nan, juice and desert


6 veggie dishes to choose from 

4 kinds of salads 

I choose  ” full course”  the $11.9 one !

It is serious amount of food! 

start from sweet corn soup 

Broccoli, carrot, pea, red capsicum, snow pea, cabbage and of course, sweet corn

Varieties of veggies!  YUM 

main veggie dishes 

Kofta ball 

Balls are made from shredded veggies - zucchini, carrot and cabbage and fry with chickpea flour and made ball with self raising flour. Lovely! 

Satay curry 

potato, carrot, cauliflower, pea cooked with peanuts sauce 

Green salad and beetroot salad with kofta ball with tahini dressing.

Juices to choose from 

lemon and mint sounds good and also I love lassi but it contains dairy so….

I choose ” apple and wheatgrass juice” , sounds healthy, isn’t it? 

sago

Sago with coconuts milk, soy milk, dates, apple and walnuts. Most ingredients are naturally sweet so I bet small amount of refined sugar is used, I think 

When I go to vegetarian restaurant, I can’t get plenty of vegetable. more noodles or rice but here, I seriously think that I ate a lots of veggies and they are fresh! 

No processed food like fake meat but all fresh veggies! I had totally vegan without garlic and onion. It was healthy and yummy! Generous serving as well. How can’t I love this place?

 Original burgers without onion

Original burgers normally comes with  LOTF patty, cheese, pickles,  onion, lettuce, Belcian mayo, mustard, ketchup 


with wholemeal bun,  vegan cheese !

with  Vietnamese spicy chilii mayo for flies.

 

 I normally don’t choose juice but it say ” organic” and ” squeezed daily” 

I couldn’t help choosing one. 


 Also found out that oranges are actually from Victoria!  Very local focused shop. Potato, bun, juices are from local area! Isn’t it fantastic? 


I must say mini burger is really really mini. I was actually very surprised how small it is. but actually it is perfect since ” sample fries” are actually quite generous portion 

see the photo from 

http://www.eatshowandtell.com/2009/06/02/lord-of-the-fries-melbourne/

This photo was taken in 2009. I am sure the mini burger become bit bigger now. 


I bet many non –vegetarian people are eating veggie burgers without knowing!

what a fabulous shop even though I wouldn’t say it is healthy meal choice….I would LOVE to go back next time I go to Melbourne!
