Mad Benji - Berwick

This restaurant offers an impressive variety of vegan options, including burgers, shakes, smoothies, and more. The vegan Oreo shake stands out as especially delicious.

Great selection of options, including vegan-friendly fries.

Every vegan burger here is crafted with a unique patty, which sets this place apart. They don't offer the typical Beyond Meat-style burgers; instead, they emphasize distinct flavor profiles and combinations for each burger. This attention to detail really makes it clear that they care about their vegan offerings, rather than just checking a "vegan" box. I was initially skeptical because I typically enjoy my mock meat burgers and am not drawn to classic veggie patties. However, that changed quickly. I ordered the Double Fury Burger, which showcased two distinct patties: a cauliflower and broccoli patty alongside a chickpea and pumpkin patty. Honestly, the taste of this dish was incredible, bringing back memories of some of the best meat burgers I've had. It's fantastic to have a restaurant like this, with such impressive offerings, right here in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne, an area often overshadowed by the inner city.

Good range of options including vegan loaded fries.

Every vegan burger on the menu (and there are quite a few) features a distinct patty. Unlike many places, they don't offer any Beyond Meat-style burgers; instead, they concentrate on creating a unique flavor profile and combination for each option. This makes me feel like they genuinely care and put effort into their vegan offerings, rather than simply checking a box for 'vegan' items. Initially, I was skeptical because I prefer mock meat burgers and am not particularly drawn to traditional veggie patties. However, this experience was completely different. I ordered the Double Fury Burger, which includes two distinct patties: one made from cauliflower and broccoli, and the other from chickpeas and pumpkin. The flavor was so remarkable that it elevated my experience to the level of some of the best meat burgers I've ever had. It's fantastic to have a restaurant like this, with such creative options, in the South East Suburbs of Melbourne, an area typically dominated by inner-city dining.
