Typhoon

There isn't even a restaurant in Highett, which is known for being a peaceful beachside neighborhood. However, as the inner city continues to grow, the bayside location's milk bars and bargain shops have been replaced by eateries and coffee shops that are well worth the 30-minute train ride. And on Melbourne's suburban bayside, Typhoon- the best vegetarian pho was discovered. With bar stools arranged around the open kitchen, bamboo walls, and modern South East Asian art, the original Art Deco establishment has been given a Hanoi-chic interior makeover. The eatery gives vegetarians and vegans much more than a meager veggie stir fry and serves North Vietnamese street food that is based on family recipes.

Start with the traditional cold tofu and vermicelli rice paper rolls or the chewy mushroom and veggie deep-fried spring rolls, both of which come with fish-sauce-free dipping sauce. Visitors are prepared to give up the potato version after tasting these twice-fried cornflour-battered morsels with a super-crunchy outside and velvety interior. They also come with a big serving of spicy lime aioli (vegan options are also available). But in reality, this place is all about the enormous bowls of pho. Hanoi-born head chef Thai Nguyen prepares his special family-recipe broths daily for the pho and vegetarian pho, and he will be the first to admit that his meat-free soup is an unqualified hit.
