Those looking for Asian vegan fusion fare in Melbourne's trendy suburb of Brunswick East, head to The Origin Tales. Situated in one of the city's great food precincts on Lygon Street, now a hub of multi-cultural restaurants, this rustic eatery blends worn brick and wooden tables with a punchy Asian menu. Embark on a culinary adventure with pan fried gyoza and sweet dipping sauce, or tofu-licious – fried tofu, bean sprouts, carrot and cucumber and housemade peanut sauce. Vegan diners may opt for a fresh and healthy poke bowl with cabbage, avocado, carrot, capsicum and tofu on brown rice; while curry lovers won't go past yellow noodles, vegetables, prawns and mutton, served in a piping hot bowl of flavourful broth. Finish sweetly with coconut seven layer vegan ice cream and sweet taro pie.
