This food truck is our go to vegan truck (well basically tied with the vegan nom let's get real) and I absolutelyyyyy have loved everything we have gotten here. Their menu changes as well so it's great to be able to try different innovative vegan food from the same great chefs! We came on a Sunday at noon and got the sweet potatoe arepas with jalapeño jam. I don't even like sweet potatoes that much but my boyfriend convinced me he would eat it if I didn't like it - so we gave it a try. These were awesome and the jam was sooo heavenly!! Next we got the mac and cheese which seems to be a crowd favorite in the yelp reviews. I will say I was a little disappointed but that's more because I love cheese and not a fan of fake cheeses. The pasta was cooked super well and was crisped. It also had a great addition of paprika to give it a smokey flavor. read more

Their weekly French toast with changing flavors each week is a must! Make sure to get their tofu scramble on the side, as it truly is a unique experience with the way they fry up the tofu! This past weekend they had a strawberry rhubarb French toast and it was a seriously delicious flavor combo, especially with the agave they put on the side to drizzle on top. I also asked to try their homemade bbq sauce to dip my tofu in and I highly suggest getting some on the side if you're a bbq sauce fan! All around great experience with the friendliness and cool demeanor of the owner as well! I look forward to my next visit! I hope to try their dinner options next time! read more

I confess - the first time I went to this food park, it was to get tacos and I checked out Bistro Vonish's menu and was wishing I had not ordered tacos already! I have been back several times, and my friend who is a local sheriff is now a convert and even brings her trainees there. First off - that bbq sammich - ooh yeah! The kolaches - I could just eat 2 or 3 or 5 of those for my breakfast and lunch (that would be a 10 mile run day!). Everything I have tried there is so good and I am planning to make it there for dinner at least once or twice before I return home on Saturday this trip. Plus - the chef is such a nice guy - he's polite, passionate, has a great smile and I always enjoy chatting with him, albeit brief. Great food - go eat at Bistro Vonish, it's real food and really good! read more

Just wow! It is an easy place to miss as it's kind of tucked away but once you find it, it's amazing! I got a spicy tempeh kolache and the combination platter with French Toast and tofu scramble. It was amazing! There was a wait but it was well worth it. Cost of being a popular place. It being a trailer, there was outdoor seating. Great if you want to bring a dog. The cinnamon roll was legit too. A vegan cinnamon roll is hard to come by, or at least a good one. read more

Service is always beyond great. The Sunday brunch is always unexpected yet highly consistent! Come prepared to love your meal--vegan or not--and enjoy North Loop before it becomes even more densely populated. Highly recommend the French toast, the kolaches/donuts, the cornbread and greens (+seitan), and all agua frescas! read more

Bistro Vonish is something special. The food is upscale and fancy while the the price and location are very casual. Sitting outside in the open air under a canopy tent, the hubs and I enjoyed an awesome brunch -- french toast topped with a mango sauce and blackberries along with a side of hash potatoes. Best vegan french toast I've ever had. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Not soggy at all. The hash potatoes were a mix of white and sweet potatoes, onion and garlic, all sauteed up and extra crispy. You can tell that the chef/owner really puts a lot of love into the experience he's providing for his customers, from the way he displays food on a plate to the cooler of cucumber water available for self-serve. read more

Bistro Vonish is my go to vegan food truck in Austin!! There menu options are delish! I love the pizza, great flavor. My other favorites are the bbq sandwich, the sweet potatoes arepas and the yummy chocolate cake! It's located in north loop which is a cool vintage/artsy scene! read more

I had heard a lot about this place from my friends and from Facebook! So I decided to give it a try. Sidenote: you should park on Martin Avenue, because the trailer park itself has no parking. I ordered the mac and cheese and the bbq seitan sandwich with the arugula salad to-go ($16). The portions of Mac are very large, probably could have gone without the sandwich. Nonetheless, both were excellent. I'm guessing the macaroni was made in a pan because it was very crunchy. Only took 10-15 minutes to come out, and there was a nice fire going by the seating area so I kept warm. Craig, the owner, brought my food out to where I was sitting. He was very friendly. Definitely will be coming back soon! He said the menu changes periodically. read more

I have enjoyed all the things I have eaten here. Their tofu scramble is full of flavor (can be a little greasy but I don't mind). Their french toasts are tasty but sometimes I like a basic french toast and the flavor profiles here can veer toward zanier than I like. Their seitan hoagie is legit. A very delicious sandwich for sure served on Wheatsville baguettes (so I am a LITTLE biased). Their cinnamon rolls are tasty, too. Nice flavor and the right amount of sweet. When it's cooler they have a fire pit which adds a nice touch. In general, Bistro Vonish hits some of the same notes that Bouldin hits for breakfast and Wheatsville hits for sandwiches and doesn't do it better so I don't go as often. It is tasty though and worth a visit! read more

If I have a complaint, it is the issue of parking. That said, I had a great experience. The young man working was really helpful & kind. As this was my first time, I asked him to just take care of me, and he did. I had the salad and BBQ Sandwich. Loved it. The bread was awesome, sauce not overwhelming and the vegetables et al were tasty. I also got a Chocolate desert to die for. The whole meal was great and actually made two meals for me. I really liked the ambience and the staff. He was just a very nice person which is always a plus. read more

VEGAN OPTIONS: Yes. The entire menu is vegan. This food truck was a little out of the way, but totally worth the hunt. It's as fine dining as a food truck can get, and the food is delicious. I suggest that you arrive right at opening time, since this is a one man operation, and you'll have to wait a bit for your food. I ordered the gnocchi with cauliflower special, and it was absolutely spectacular! Better than many brick and mortar spots. The portions are small, but the taste is on point. Highly recommended for a date night, and/or those who love the whole "hidden gem" vibe. read more

I'm back from a hiatus, only because my list of eat-ables have gone down significantly now that I'm eating exclusively plant based. I guess it's a good thing to be able to narrow down the selection for yelp vegan eaters out there. -Mac and Cheese. Definitely try that. This is the best vegan mac and cheese I've had (besides the home-made one I had a long time ago). -Sweet Potato pizza. The pureed blend of sweet potato was an excellent replacement for the cheese and mozzarella that would have been on a classic pizza. -Turnip cake. This was a gourmet dish with a blend of sweet and savory flavors. They did well! Coming back here when I have a craving for creative gourmet vegan dishes! read more

This food truck was a little hard to find, but that's because I had no idea I was looking for a food truck. This little Vegan delight is a great find, even if it is a bit of a drive from home. I had the Tofu Scramble with Home fries. Yum! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of flavor in the scramble. I will definitely keep this place on my list. :) read more

I came here a couple nights ago and I loooove the atmosphere (cute little outdoor nook of Hyde Park with a couple other food trucks and some jazz music). The woman who took our order was also really warm and made you feel welcome. I ordered the barbecue seitan sandwich and upon trying the first bites of the I was wowed by the flavors but the texture was a little off for me. It was a bit to hard and chewy for my liking but I tend to be most picky about textures when it comes to food so others may fully love and enjoy the dish. Overall, I'm glad they're trying to be innovative with vegan food and loved everything else about the experience so I'd definitely come back to try something different on the menu. read more

I must come back here the next time I come back to Austin. I was looking for something relatively light for lunch, and was beyond satisfied when I left. Food - The Three sisters ragout with polenta is a seasonal item and may I say that it was prepared with a lot of care. The polenta was fried with perfection. I don't normally like beans but I couldn't help but eat literally everything on the plate. The orange hibiscus agua fresca was fresh!!! Seating - There was plenty of seating and there were fans which helped a great deal with any bugs or humidity in the air. read more

If you're in the mood for some fancy vegan fare, this is a place to get it! Bistro is so great and I love taking friends there to try it, especially their Mac and cheese! It's AMAZING! One of my favorite vegan macs I've ever had. I can also vouch for their soups and their brunch, both of which are incredible. Love going and will always return! read more

The absolute best vegan food I've ever had in my entire life. What a complete find! I had the mac n cheese and the arepas. Served in compostable containers which I loved, and definitely comfort food. read more

Also - don't be silly. Please get the sweet potato arepas and the black garlic bruschetta because I will live and die by both of those! Amazing as always read more

Really good! We tried the carrot pizza and sweet potato arepas. Both were delicious. The soy cream and spicy jelly on the arepas were drool worthy, and the crust on the carrot pizza was one of the best I've ever had. Next time, I will ask for extra spicy arepas, and some of that soy cream on the pizza. Overall, great vegan food worth a try. read more

I'm baaaack! Well, sorta kinda...just long enough to give this vegetarian food truck some well deserved kudos . My girlfriend & I are NOT vegetarian, but lean toward healthy eating . St Patrick's day is tough during sxsw when you're not into the crowd thing , just want something tasty, preferably outdoor, and you just bought a nice bottle of wine you can't open.. ( another friend "borrowed" my corkscrew..grr) . Sorry, I digress. So I call this place because it's close to home - AND it's byob. Perfect! I figure we'll have some weird vegan dessert ,enjoy our wine & chat .. (if I can figure out how to open said bottle ). I order the mousollini (sp?) chocolate pie & I lament my problem opening the bottle . VOILA the sweet man not only opens it but gives me two cups for our wine ! Already 5 star treatment! I'm in chocolate heaven, but my friend says it's too rich . (It is but , DUH, that's the whole point of chocolate pie, right?) I go back & order the black garlic bruschetta now seriously close to closing time but I'm told , "for you we'll stay open "- what the holy sweet grail of customer service is this !? Way too long story shortened: Only get the chocolate pie if you're into rich velvety goodness Only get the bruschetta if you think you've had it great before somewhere. You WILL change your mind. Oh my damn - it's incredible! Thanks Bistro Vonish dude! (I'll get your name next time) Probably tomorrow.. read more

neither vegan nor vegetarian and in fact gravitate toward carnivore/low-carb/seed oil minimalism but my mom's vegetarian so i took her here to try. everything we ordered was tasty! arepas, spicy mac n cheese, baguette sandwich, and the grilled mushrooms were all delicious. curious what is used to imitate fake cheese. bill was about $38 after taxes and tip. read more

I'm sitting here salivating at the thought of consuming a BBQ seitan sandwich, the star of this beautiful restaurant on wheels, when it occurs to me that I haven't written the review that needed to be written long ago. So here it goes: I stumbled upon this gem long before it moved RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM ME! Yassss. I was searching for something to bring my love for lunch on the job in an area I was unfamiliar with. Bistro Vonish was just there quaintly, with the sweet rhythms of the twenties calling my name. Everything sounded surprisingly fancy for a "food truck", despite the decent prices, so I bet safely with the sandwich. Keep in mind this was not for me, so when I say I was hooked after one bite, I am soooo not lying. The hubs was hooked, too. The sandwich: amaaaaazing French bread with perfectly prepared seitan and BBQ sauce, with pickles and a deliciously unique side salad (referring specifically to the dressing). You don't have to be vegan or even vegetarian to appreciate this sandwich. It has a meaty texture, and the flavor is so bold you won't know what you're missin'. Anyway, I've had a few other things since then. The sweet potato arepas are bomb as well, and the garlic and white bean kolaches are super savory. Oh, and the watermelon agua Fresca is quite refreshing and delish. What I love about this truck, just as much as the food itself, is the dedication of the owner. He is there almost every single time. It wasn't long ago that he finally got himself a well-deserved helping hand, and since then, he hasn't put forth any less effort than he has from the start. He clearly loves his work, and his presentation is flawless, even with to-go orders. So just do yourself a favor, and check this place out. read more

what a treat this place is! elevated vegan cuisine, outdoor austin vibes, friendly service. have been a repeat customer.

I came for the mac n cheese. I guess I should have read the reviews first because most people reviewing that said they couldn't even eat it. That was my experience. It was way too salty avd chewy. I had to throw it away. I spent $8 with tax. It left a bad taste in my mouth both literally and figuratively. Really disappointed. read more

Bistro Vonish is from far the best vegan place that I know. Everything that is on the menu is absolutely delicious, tasty and refined. The food that is served is original and the flavor always mind blowing! The prices are very reasonable and I am always full after eating there. The staff is extremely professional and although the owner and his staff cook very delicate cuisine, they are super humble and you can tell that they are working hard. I love this food truck so much! I would eat there every single day if I could!! read more

This vegan food truck was incredibly disappointing. We are longtime vegans and we were excited to try some vegan Kolaches and cinnamon rolls. When we approached the food truck the staff was rude to us and did not even say "hello." When we asked if they sold Kolaches and what flavors they had, the employee didn't even know the answer and had to ask another person working in the truck. We ordered a Kolche and a cinnamon roll and both were terrible. We actually threw them out. The cinnamon roll seemed like it had been frozen and it took them over 10 mins to serve it to us. And there wasn't even a line. If you're looking for awesome vegan Kolaches do not waste your money on this place. Capital City Bakery in east Austin has killer vegan Kolaches. Go there. I will not spend money at this place again; there are so many better vegan options in Austin. BTW walking into Zucchini Kill was super awkward. The people that worked there gave us a rude look when we walked in as though we shouldn't have been there. Everything in the case was in plastic and was a total turn off. What's up with the plastic? It all looked store bought. read more

Idk how they don't have perfect 5 stars. Everytime I go I really enjoy the food. Some of the staff don't have much customer service skills, but the food makes up for it and doesn't factor into if we come again! Hands down one of my favorites! read more

Honestly my favorite restaurant in all of Austin. Everything I've ever tried from here blows me away. I love the creativity and care that the chef puts into each dish. I think my two absolute favorite dishes I've ever had from here were a special he was making once that included homemade gnocchi with mushrooms, fresh tomato, kale, and an amazing sauce, and wild rice soup with a mushroom from heaven itself atop the soup (I don't know how he makes mushrooms taste so incredible). Also, I could eat an order of the sweet potato arepas every day. If I ever get married, I'm definitely going to try having Bistro cater my wedding! read more

Recently being diagnosed with numerous food sensitivities, my opportunities to eat totally delicious and allergy friendly food have been slim. Enter Bistro Vonish. The GF Vegan Mac and Cheese was warm and delicious, the hush puppies were crispy and tangy, every bite fantastic, the chocolate pie was the closest thing I had gotten to a fantastic dessert since my allergy rules kicked in. Rich and creamy- this hit all the high notes. I actually came back the next day for a french toast breakfast with my hard to please family. I don't have enough good things to say about this place.I will be back ( mulitple times) save that mac and cheese for me. read more

There's a knack to ordering vegan food that a lot of people lack. Some food isn't meant to be vegan, while some are exponentially better that way. But there are some that defy these laws, luckily for me. I came with a couple of friends for Sunday brunch (which I didn't know about) and was honestly put out by the menu. It said "French toast " and alarms went off in my head. I never eat French toast coz I don't like the way eggs taste, and honestly, vegan French toast was bound to be a disaster , right? They also informed me that they were out of the strawberry kolaches. Sigh. Luckily, there is an option of replacing that abomination of a culinary invention named tofu with other stuff like seitan (which I personally feel has a better texture and is much healthier than soy) , and tempeh. Yay me, huh? I ended up getting the French toast combo ($9) with a side of seitan , and the donache kolache (square donuts made with kolache dough with cinnamon sugar, 2 for $3) and my friends got the same stuff (with tofu scramble) and the savory kolache. (5 for $8) You obviously need to wait a bit for the food- there's one chef, and one cashier/ waitress, and it IS a truck after all. There is a shared trailer close by which apparently isn't open on Sunday. Seating is aplenty for a truck, with a make shift covered canopy, and two fire pits. (My hair smells funny now. ) if it's a sunny day like it was today, you're in luck. Food arrives on paper plates (living up to several hipster expectations), I take a bite of the French toast- IT WAS DELICIOUS. I kid you not. The picky vegetarian in me loved the texture and the honey, the savory kolache was absolutely delicious- the stuffing wasn't too spicy, but was packed with flavor, and the sweet donuts were just perfect. So, here is what I learned. Vegan food done the right way is spectacularly tasty. Some foods may not be the best bets (vegan pizza is a huge no no) , but as long as you pick the right thing to eat, chef Craig's creations will never cease to amaze. read more

The best vegan food I have ever had. Best gnocchi I have ever had. I love everything about this place, from the unique seasonal vegan menu to the location and seating area. The chef was so nice and helpful. I will always have to make a stop by Bistro Vonish on my trips to Austin. SUPERB. read more

Oh man...I've eaten here so much already, and usually my hands are too covered in deliciousness to write a review afterward. I'm just kidding, I don't eat with my hands, but I would literally dive face first into anything this talented guy cooked. I think a lot of times people think of vegan dishes as being very rabbity - lots of salads and raw veggies. One of my favorite things about this place, especially having eaten here so much during the winter months, is that the dishes were hearty and filling. They were substantial and warm and had delicious, savory flavors that really made you feel full and happy. Like comfort food, but without the gut heaviness and shame afterward. Another great bonus is that half of the menu (and dessert) is also gluten free, as well, so I have plenty of options. It's surprisingly hard to find food that is vegan and gluten free without running into the dreaded aforementioned rabbity fare. If there is a Suppli available, please get it. It's warm and delicious, and you can throw some of his amazing tempeh on for extra protein. Apparently this tempeh is made with chickpea, rather than the typical soybean, and the flavor is so much more refined and delicate. This grub is gourmet, for real. I cannot wait until he opens a brick-and-mortar, I will be there every day and twice on Sundays! read more

Such amazing vegan food! I love coming for brunch on the weekends and getting their french toast dish with tofu scramble. Their food is a lot more inventive and curated than you'd expect from a food truck. Yum! read more

This place is like a fancy restaurant but in food truck/trailer form. We ordered a dish and a soup to split and enjoyed free hot apple cider while we waited out in the cold. The butternut squash "suppli" dish was phenomenal. It was a crispy patty of rice and creamy butternut squash served over greens, sweet potatoes and cranberries. Loved it and inhaled it although I wasn't terribly hungry. The beet bisque was served lukewarm (not good!) and tasty. You could really taste the beets. Overall a good experience. This is a little high end for a food trailer; prices for dishes range from $8 to $12 or so. read more

I came here last night for the first time through a recommendation of a friend and was pleasantly surprised! I'm not vegan nor do I eat vegan food often, but from past experiences it's always lacked flavor. This food truck was the complete opposite. The outside atmosphere is a cute setting with picnic tables and flowers under string lights and a canopy, along with a fire pit to keep you warm. Craig was super knowledgeable when it came to specific items on his menu in helping decide what's best to eat and he even educated me with some history with one of the items in the kolaches (I can't remember what it's called). They were hosting a pumpkin carving party (with cider and snacks) which I thought was really neat. It was cute to see the kids and adults into the Fall and Halloween spirit. My most favorite item were the squash sliders. They were incredible. The watermelon aqua fresca was so fresh and satisfying too. This place is a hidden gem. I'd definitely go back here again and recommend it to anyone that is a foodie, vegan or not! The atmosphere is right and so is the price! There is also one port-o-potty in case nature calls! PS. After dining check out the little shop next to the trailer called, Native. All of their items are local to Austin. It's really cool and a great way to support our community. They also have fun artwork hanging too! Don't forget to say hi to the sweet dog! read more
