This popular vegetarian restaurant on the edge of St Kilda Beach boasts spectacular views across Port Philip Bay. The feel is young and hip, with Buddha statues lending an Asian touch. Soul Mama’s food is international, though, with vegetable-topped pizzas and Turkish-style dips alongside curries and stir-fries. The menu also changes frequently to make use of fresh seasonal produce. Food is sold according to plate size, with the choice of up to five selections from the buffet per plate. But if the generous serves of veggies make you feel overly virtuous, indulge in one of Soul Mama’s rich chocolate desserts. -Jo-Anne Woodward
