I recalled the logo from a Loving Hut I came acquainted with in Camden, London. Apparently a chain…read moreof Loving Huts are sprinkled all over the planet, advocating be-kind-to-nature eating and living. This is the only Loving Hut in Victoria. So the menu is all Vegan and heavily influenced by Asian cuisines. I ordered the Tom Yaam Noodle Soup. It was packed with straw mushrooms and plenty of other veggies. Delicious and very filling. Totally worth the $12. Better than my soup however, was the entree; "Lucky Rainbow Pockets". Sweet tofu bags stuffed with string veggies as well as a secret ingredient...corn flakes! An interesting mix of sweet, sour and *crunch*, they were very more-ish. Green dining means no smoking or alcohol so you wont find any booze here, nor can you expect to BYO. What else? The service is sweet and efficient. The decor is basic yet welcoming. The Loving Hut is also somewhere you could quite comfortably come for a quiet, solo dine-in.

Great concept but poor execution. The enticing idea of organic raw food drew me in to this cafe,…read morehowever I was very disappointed by the food. I ordered a mocha, which had no coffee and was extremely bitter. After about ten minutes, the mocha thickened and all of the liquid was stuck at the bottom of the glass. At that stage it was impossible to drink! I also ordered the noodles, which were extremely bitter and slimy. The noodles were drowned in some sort of flavouring powder, which was extremely sour and it overpowered the dish. I was also irritated by the lack of noodles. The dish mainly consisted of shredded carrots. The pancakes were also a massive disappointment, they were extremely mushy and off-putting. The presentation of the food was nice, but the taste was beyond terrible.

Goal buy all the Australian things making them cheaper with my USD money. Of course I had to stop and get food first. I've been staying near the market for 3 weeks and knew i had to come here. First, service was amazing. The nicest mxn found me a seat in the middle of the super busy restaurant. Then, 4 minutes later a young Womxn took my order. About 10 min later, this amazing food showed up. I ordered the fired eggs on the side to go with my hotcakes. This was the prefect balance of sweet and savory. I was a little nervous i would still be hungry because the hotcakes looked tiny. I was not disappointed at all. After a yummy oat milk coffee, i left feeling cozy, warm, and full. I sat outside which had some foot traffic but everyone was respectful and the wall heaters helped with the cool wet weather. Long story short, I would totally come back and try something new. The market vibes make it a wonderful weekend adventure and if you're looking for a sit down moment to appreciate Melbourne. Stop here.

(Also: How positively Melbournian!) Upon arrival at this tiny shop on the outside of South Melbourne Market, I was immediately beguiled by the recherché menu. Gems from it include a shroom latte (medicinal mushroom powder, chicory root, dandelion, stevia, almond milk) and an 'I Love Oprah' smoothie featuring monga waratah, a shrub endemic to Australia that's purported to help one find inner strength. After a long peruse I ordered the Mexicano Cacao (raw cacao, cacao butter, chilli, black pepper extract, cayenne, coconut milk) for myself and a cup of the bone broth to share with my mates. The Mexicano Cacao was rich and nicely spicy. But the real winner was the wonderfully toothsome bone broth. I could easily drink a cup a day of this savory stuff. Happy Place isn't set up for hanging out, as there are no seats inside but it's a solid spot to grab a smoothie, hot drink or a light lunch (I loved the look of the seared ahi slices on offer in the salad case!).

If you're feeling a bit bloated I highly recommend grabbing a cup of their $6 broth for lunch. You won't regret it. But Happy Place, owned by nutritionist Lola Berry and Salvatore of St Ali fame, is much more than just a good broth. Here you will find smoothies with Aboriginal leaves that can instil various feelings within you (think strength, wisdom, kindness), salads and proteins galore and lattes of all colours of the rainbow. I went for a turmeric latte, which warmed me up on a freezing June day, while my pals went for the Mexican Cacao, which was truly a standout (obviously I took a sip and then hogged it). It tasted a lot like a spicy hot chocolate. Absolute perfection in winter. While I didn't indulge, there were a variety of salads available for you to grab and go. Because Happy Place are good to Vegan folk, you add your protein separately - there are little cups of chicken, salmon and tofu available to add. While this is pretty much a takeaway place only (there are only a few built in bench seats available), it shouldn't stop you from popping by and grabbing a footpath bench to nosh down on your healthful goodies before you head into the market.
