The result? "A deliciously lively eatery that provides the ideal setting for coming together and taking part in the simple act of enjoying good food that is kind to the planet" (TimeOut). Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining. Think of dishes like Brazilian steafood stew Moqueca, roasted padron & manchego croquetas, or pastor mushrooms grilled over charcoals on Josper with corn puree, fermented pineapple & chilli.

We booked a table for the afl final and had the absolute best time. The pizza was delicious, the staff were soooo friendly and when there was a delay on the food, the staff were so apologetic and really looked after us. This is hands down our spot for summer we love it here! We’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints 💜😄 Special thank you to Sheree, the barman who recently had an ear ache and the guy with a spider web tattoo I’m sorry I dont know your names!
