Absolutely fantastic from the moment I walked in the door. Greeted by wonderful staff, super cosy without being cramped, cool tunes at just the right volume, fabulous drinks & omg the food....superb! (We opted for the banquet) Will definitely be back.

The banquet menu was delicious! We were very full after the 7 shared courses. Lorenzo is clearly passionate about this place and promoting plant-based dining and answered any questions we asked about how he replicated certain meat- foods.

It was a very enjoyable and delicious vegan meal ! Will definitely be back

7 course banquet was ok but not amazing for $45pp

Best food I’ve ever had! The bolognese I was dreaming about for days, the calamari was 11/10 and the arancini was amazing. Cannot fault

absolutely amazing experience. Delicious food and even better service, Thank you!

We have vegan friends and it was great for them to be able to eat everything on the menu instead of a few boring options at other standard restaurants. And the fact it was Italian is an extra bonus. Very cosy, delicious food, great atmosphere with exceptionally friendly service. Highly recommended!!

The food is exceptional and the value for money, especially these days, is wonderful. The service is warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating. The drinks are great. The only complaint I have is that they aren't open all the time or closer to my home!!!

The food is always amazing, the best of the best. Lorenzo is the most amazing host, warm and welcoming and so great at remembering his customers.

Vegan and vegetarian options Italian influenced restaurant Location nice and clean in Newtown Kind and quick service

Loved the food, so nice to go anywhere with everything tasting great and where I can have the whole menu.

Incredible food and service, very friendly staff, and all plant based.

We had the 7 Course tasting menu. We didn't really have the courses explained to us for had to keep looking at the blackboard to check what we were eating. I think, skip one of the savoury courses and have something sweet at the end would be better than 7 savoury courses. Lovely atmosphere.

Great food and great customer service. A A A A+

I am an absolute mash potato fiend, and the mash that comes with the vegan ragu is delectable. The ragu was really yummy too. Such a relaxed and friendly team!

The team were so lovely and accommodating! We ordered two pastas and they were so good! Looking forward to going back!

Fantastic food and service! Each course was delicious but the meatballs, konjamari and carbonara were extra delicious! Highly recommend. You should open one in Melbourne!

Absolutely amazing! Food was incredible and the service was top notch. The owner came out walked us through the menu and really looked after us 10/10

Great all vegan menu, friendly helpful staff and a cozy quirky ambiance

Delicious vegan meal and even better service! The owner was super friendly and very attentive

Very friendly service, the carbonara was a total stand out and I loved the konjamari too

Great ambience, prompt and friendly service, and every dish was fresh and delicious. In fact, we ordered the parmigiana focaccia and we all agreed it was the best focaccia we’d ever had!

Great food, atmosphere and staff! The chocolate mousse was incredible!!!

Was very excited to visit and try vegan Italian. Enjoyed the buffet for 3. Was filling but satisfying - good way to sample a variety of dishes.

Great food, even my carnist dining companions loved it. The banquet is great value and such a good option for trying everything, although be warned: bring a hefty appetite to get through it all!

Friendly owner and delicious set menu! Recommend for coming in a group and everything was vego-friendly!

Food was super delicious, wish they do byo cake or offer some cake options for dessert

Good overall experience for a vegan place. Some dishes were not what we expected but worth a try for sure

So good! And convenient to get to Carriageworks for a show! Great food, fantastic ethos! Friendly service! Will definitely be back!

Great food, great service! Loved the banquet. The whole group was so delighted by each dish! Recommend the Ragu!

Fantastic vegan venue. Service is 10/10. Loved the set menu, and left full. The Chianti was lovely.

I love the food, would go again and recommend to friends and family

Below average experience, the female server was silent the whole night. Very noisy with the street level noise and music.

Best vegan restaurant in Sydney! You will not be disappointed

A very cosy and intimate Italian restaurant located on the quieter end of King Street, amazing food and service was friendly. The zucchini fritti and carbonara were standouts and a must-try. Would definitely come back.

Lovely host, good food, nice environment. Great vegan choices with different menu

We had a wonderful Sunday brunch at Don Fred's. Great atmosphere, great food and great service!

Loved this place, a new favourite- we will be back!

Fantastic tasty food and friendly service ! I recommend it

I understand that the restaurant would like to serve their food as authentic as possible but they should keep chilli oil/hot sauce available for any patrons who would like to add into their food. They should cater to all preferences as much as possible. The food was unfortunately too bland for my taste.

Had the banquet - good food. Very friendly service. Great music and ambience.

Food was delicious and service was prompt. Recommended for dates

Every meal we have at Don Fred is sensational and it’s become our favourite dining experience as a family and individually. Don Fred cannot be beaten for amazing Italian food and more, we absolutely love to eat and enjoy the atmosphere at Don Fred! 100/100

The owner was lovely and the food was perfect! We had the banquet and loved it :)

The staff are friendly and attentive. The food selection is fantastic. Our meals were delicious! Highly recommend, we will be coming back to try more of the menu 🙂

Amazing vegan food, was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to come back

I was very impressed with the vegetarian options that were present. Quite unique and flavorful with good value for money for the banquet option.

The food was amazing and the staff was really lovely!

Love the food and choices available including other dietary requirements like GF. Returning customer who is more than happy to return.

Food was amazing! So delicious and can’t wait to go back
