Lentil As Anything |
Lentil as Anything is a not-for-profit organisation that operates vegetarian restaurants in Melbourne with the pay-as-you-feel model while also being involved in several education programs and other social projects.
At our core are the pay as you feel restaurants where customers give what they feel the food is worth and have the opportunity to contribute towards a world where respect generosity trust equality freedom and kindness rule.
Our philosophy has been working successfully for over 13 years now with three long-standing restaurants in Abbotsford Convent St Kilda and Footscray and now also in Preston and Sydney with a growing involvement in education and ongoing community projects.

Reflect on your feeling and decide how much you want and can contribute to this unique experience and put some money in one of our magic boxes in the restaurant (EFTPOS also available at all our restaurants).
Be part of a unique financial model that is centred on the values of trust generosity and respect that gives people the opportunity to eat out and be social regardless of their financial situation.
Why do we do this? Because Everyone has a right to feel valued and respected money should help bring people together not divide us.
