Mamma Chen's

Mamma Chen's sits on Albert Street in Footscray, one of Melbourne's most diverse and characterful inner-west suburbs. A much-loved restaurant and live-music spot, it's earned an outstanding reputation — combining quality, flavour-packed plant-based Asian cooking with a great drinks offering and a fun, characterful atmosphere that often features live music, the kind of lively, in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality, satisfying vegan and plant-based Asian food, a good drinks offering and a vibrant, characterful setting with live music, ideal for a meal with friends, a date, drinks and a feed or a sociable night out. Quality plant-based cooking with great flavour and a fun atmosphere is a genuine draw, and the outstanding feedback speaks to a spot that's delighting its diners.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 160 reviews, it's clearly a real favourite. Menus, drinks lists, the live-music program, opening hours and pricing vary, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a specific gig — though for tasty plant-based Asian food and a great atmosphere, it's well worth dropping in at Mamma Chen's in Footscray.
