Those on the edgy veg trail have a new café on the block, with the Mount Macedon Trading Post (MMTP) entering the awards for the first time with its buddha bowl.
Mount Macedon Trading Post owners Sarah and Damien Leatch, who bought the cafe a year ago, said they decided to enter the awards to do something a bit different.
“We have a lot of tourists that come up that are vegan and vegetarian and locals as well,” Mrs Leatch said.
“Previously we didn’t have a lot of those options available so it’s just about giving them something else to choose on the menu.”
The cafe’s buddha bowl features a colourful combination of roasted potatoes, pumpkin, quinoa, fresh spinach, creamy avocado, and a rich beetroot hummus
The Edgy Veg Awards are a month-long competition across the Macedon Ranges to shine a light on local businesses serving fresh, delicious and veggie filled dishes to the community.
Throughout April, Ranges residents can support local venues by tasting and scoring vegelicious dishes served up at 46 pubs, cafes and restaurants across 12 villages in the region. All dishes are made from 100 per cent plants.
Show your support by tasting and scoring dishes. Each score puts participants in the draw to win prizes. The more venues you visit and rate, the more chance you have of winning a prize.The highest scoring dish will earn the title of Most Vegelicious Dish!
