Hi guys, For those who are not fans of vegetarian food, Au Lac restaurant will not be a right choice I have to admit unfortunately. But for those who love vegetables, Au Lac is the best one in Canberra. I keep coming back here every week for my vegetarian meal and I am happy with every dish I have every... More

Was really good, not a lot more to say. All dishes were really nice, and others around looked like they were enjoying; busy but friendly ambience and service; didn't have to wait too long.

How lovely is it for a vegetarian to be able to choose ANYTHING on the menu? The food is so tasty and the servings very generous.

I decided to do something a bit different for my birthday. My daughter is a vegetarian and my son despises vegetarian food, which doesn't make life too easy. We really enjoyed the food. The "chicken" and "beef" rendang were excellent as were all the dim sims and vegetable dishes. I didn't personally think the mongolian "lamb" worked so well. The... More

We have been there a few times and are always amazed by the excellent food. The staff were friendly enough to describe in detail how they make the soybean products from scratch. All meals are home made and all vegetables bought by the owner himself every morning from the market. These are probably the main reasons (plus a talented cook... More

My fiancé and I decided to try lunch here on the weekend after we walked past and became intrigued by their menu. Walking in, the decor was somewhat uninspiring but the atmosphere was relaxing with instrumental classics playing softly in the background and seats up next to the window for people-watching in busy Dickson. The staff were extremely polite and... More

Amazing array of dishes and not all "mock" meats. Local hangout, friendly, relaxed and enjoyable meal. Would return.
