nudel bar ii, melbourne cbd

Nudel Bar is a regular haunt for me at the moment, because it's one of the places A and I can go together, that does both gluten-free meals and vegan meals in the CBD and isn't LotF. If anyone has a recommendation, please feel free to offer it! The food doesn't have to be vegan AND gluten-free, there just have to be vegan stuff and gluten-free stuff.

Usually at the Nudel Bar I'll order their CKT, because it's good and I'm too Malaysian for words, but this week I felt like a change. So I took a chance and ordered the potato curry with rice noodles.

It was good. A mildly spicy curry, it went well with the roti the waitperson insisted I also order (though did make the meal a tad too large for me, leaving me sated until dinner time). The potatoes were cooked just right, which I love, and the coconut was really subtle, it was just mostly curry flavour. Ohhh yeeaaaah.

And then we went and had our photos taken.

I really like Nudel Bar.

Oh I really need to go to nudel bar one day. Everyone has been raving about it being very vegan friendly...etc.

I go there when I'm eating with someone for the first time and I don't know their what kind of stuff they eat - it's a something for everyone place. I don't LOVE it, but I like it - I always get the mushroom and flat noodles dish.

Wagamama is about the same price point and they accommodate GF and Vegan - it's at the top end of Flinders Lane. But generally the city is a vegan wasteland!

@toby yes go! it's good!

@lisa - yes, it's a reliable kind of place, which is good. and it does have something for everyone - even people who don't like noodles (we discovered macaroni cheese on the menu! not vegan). i avoid wagamama because the one in perth is pretty crap - is the one here ok?

@rachel - do you have enough food recs? if you're near nudel bar you're pretty close to fitzroy, lots of exciting stuff up there!

The one here is average, I reckon it's on a par with Nudel Bar service-wise and the food is at least made fresh. Chocolate Buddha in Fed Square is a similar price point and the same kind of food as well.

I really need to check this place out. I just wanted to say that I love your blog. I'm a brunswick girl and am gluten intollerant/border line cealic. As of this month I am also a vegan. I am always looking for new places to coffee and snack :)
