The food was amazing. I had the oyster mushroom calamari which had so much flavour. The house made Kewpie mayo was delightful too. Next was the linguine carbonara. It was so creamy, silky and mouthwateringly delicious. For dessert I had the pistachio pannacotta with a raspberry coolie. It was so smooth, with just the right amount of wobble. The combination of the textures was a party in the mouth. The wait staff were all so friendly and very efficient. The meals came out swiftly, but with enough time in between before the next course. Just moved to Melbourne and trying out different vegan restaurants. This came up on Happy Cow. I think this will be a regular place for dinner. Thank you Green Man Arms!

The kitchen staff did an amazing job with the food and there were lots of GF options available. Waiter was excellent and very helpful. There was no push to get rid of us so we were able to sit around after our lunch chatting. Definitely heading back for another visit.
