Eating out as a vegetarian often means one risotto and a side salad. At Martini + Co Werribee the meat-free dishes run through the whole menu, from breakfast to pizza, pasta and mains, so a mixed table can order without anyone settling. This guide lists the meat-free dishes on the current menu with prices, plus what to know about gluten-free and vegan requests.
Breakfast (Served Until 12pm)
The Veggie Patch ($22.90) is the one built for vegetarians: pumpkin, mushroom, halloumi, spinach and cherry tomato with poached eggs, pesto and dukkah on sourdough. The Mushroom Bruschetta ($21.90) pairs sautéed wild mushrooms and goat cheese with poached eggs, and the Citrus Avocado Smash ($22.90) comes with chilli and feta and a beetroot dip.
On the sweet side there are Belgian choc chip pikelets ($19.90) and the Belgian Sweet Escape waffles ($21.90).

Good to Know
Several of these dishes are finished with parmesan or grana padano, which strict vegetarians may prefer to avoid, so ask for it to be left off. The kitchen handles meat, seafood and allergens, and the menu asks guests with allergies or dietary requirements to tell their waiter before ordering.
