Are there any really fancy vegetarian restaurants in Brisbane?

I don’t live in the area (or state), but after watching the recent Please Like Me, I’d love to take my parents out to a nice dinner. I’ve been vegetarian for years, and the parents have recently ditched meat after my stepdad’s recent cancer diagnosis, so obviously most of the really nice places are out of the equation.

Anyway, just so you know. submitted by /u/jamescridland [link] [comments]
