We made a stop at Fillmore’s on our way down south. I was excited to try a new vegan venue and grateful that Fillmore’s was on our way. To get to Fillmore’s you walk down a lane way with wall art that is engaging and beautiful. When you enter Fillmore’s you immediately feel welcomed, they had only just opened when we arrived so it wasn’t yet busy. There was interesting and beautiful art on the walls, some of it for sale which I LOVE. The venue felt like walking into a home you’ve never visited but are always welcome in. I ordered the tacos, they were fresh, tasty, had a walnut meat substitute and were just delicious, I also had a Gingerella ginger beer which is always tasty. I am really grateful for the vegan food, the safe welcoming venue and that a place like Fillmore’s exists. Visit if you can, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Took a weekend trip south of Sydney and this was a huge highlight. Dropped in on a Saturday night and the vibes were incredible, really beautiful space, live music, super friendly owners and BANGING vegan food. It was so good that I ended bringing back my entire group of friends the next day. It was a cold winter day so we just hung out for hours by the fire, played games, ate great food and chatted to the owners. There was a live three-piece band too. Perfect, unmatched vibes. An absolute gem and worth going out of your way to try.

I had the pleasure of meeting Morgan from Fillmores as well as a local grandmum. This place is not only incredible for its pizza but the atmosphere is electric. It brought me to place back home , a bar with similar aesthetic in South Africa. The music is INCREDIBLE!!! Hope to visit again soon!
