Soul Greens

Soul Greens is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant on Highett Road with footpath seating that welcomes dogs. It is a plant-based option in a strip better known for cafes, handy if you want a sit-down meal with the dog rather than just a coffee.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables on the footpath directly in front of the venue; indoors is not permitted under Victorian food rules. A water bowl is sometimes out, but bring your own to be sure. The footpath location means it suits dogs that are settled around passing foot traffic.

Good to know. The menu is wholesome plant-based fare, with hearty bowls, salads, curries and dishes like moussaka and sticky date pudding drawing praise. It rates very highly locally. Unlike the nearby breakfast cafes, it runs lunch and dinner services, roughly 11am to 3pm and again from 5pm, Monday to Saturday, so confirm times before an evening visit.

Getting there. It is a short walk from Highett Railway Station on the Sandringham line. Street parking runs along Highett Road; check current signage before you leave the car.

Nearby with the dogs. Combine a meal with an off-leash run at Turner Road Reserve a short drive away, or a coffee at Third Wheel further along the strip.

When to go. The footpath tables are quieter earlier in a service; peak lunch and dinner sittings are busier. Good for a relaxed plant-based meal with a settled dog at your feet.
