Stepping into Nevedya feels like being transported into another world, an Amazon oasis in Melbourne. Divine food (the banana buckwheat pancakes are one of my favourites), beautiful architecture, great vibes, soulful music that makes somebody who cannot cry cry, and doesn't dance want to dance. I've walked in there before to find them having like an ecstatic dance party! They are also an incredibly caring community and have helped disadvantaged groups out by giving them free food. They have been so kind to me as I go through the worst time of my life with homelessness etc. They gave me a free cacao and curry, which meant a lot as I'm not able to cook, and a listening ear. They are also neurodivergent. It's one of the closest places I feel to home. I'm so lucky to have this at my doorstep. I feel uplifted when I go there. I hope they stay open forever. It's said the best way to create change is not to tear down the establishment but build/offer a new one and Nevedya is a fine example of that.

Nevedya is my favourite restaurant! I bring all my friends who visit to this restaurant so they can experience the incredible ambience of the garden dining area and meticulously prepared delicious food and drinks. There's a great selection of foods which change with the seasons and the quality of the cacao drinks is unmatched by anywhere else I've been. There's lots of regular events at Nevedya and they care a lot about their community. I have everything good to say about this place! 💗💗💗

Always such a beautiful visit to Nevedya. Such a tranquil, gentle, kind space to eat such delicious clean food. The food is always exceptional, with service to match. The team always goes above to accomodate.
My favourite is the nook outside, especially with my dog. Thanks guys.. always a treat!

Absolutely amazing dining experience. We were recommended by a local of many years who’s an experienced naturopath for the quality of the food, outstanding range of vegan and gluten-free options and relaxed, cultural atmosphere. It went even beyond our expectations.
A beautiful courtyard setting, we had a lovely little nook table, we enjoyed a beautiful lunch of savoury and sweet dishes, tried their house sangria and even finished off with an alcohol alcoholic lion’s mane Cacau as a treat while on holidays.
Beautiful staff, beautiful atmosphere, beautiful food, fair prices. We will be back for sure when we are in the mountains again.

Hands down best restaurant in Victoria. You can actually dine here and be rest assured that the food you are getting is prepared with the highest quality of ingredients and not seed oil slop that most places serve. You walk out feeling truly nourished, satisfied and already looking forward to your next meal there. My family, friends and I travel over an hour for our visits to dine here and would do it every time!
The service is always warm and friendly and atmosphere is chill and relaxed. Also have to give them massive points for being one of the kid friendliest restaurants we’ve been to, not to mention you can order off the menu knowing your babies are getting real good food!
