Plant-based restaurant Little Seed by Firefly opened last week.

WITH eateries popping up left, right and centre in Toowoomba - it's only understandable that some are becoming more food-conscious.

Here are seven must-try cheap vegan eats in Toowoomba.

1. Vegan quinoa fritters

Where: Raw Energy Toowoomba, 83 Bridge St

QUINOA, sweet potato and kale fritters, served with roma tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and topped with avocado salsa and warm napoli - it sounds like the perfect breakfast to start any day to us.

2. Sweet potato and daikon curry

Where: Little Seed by Firefly, Russell St

LITTLE Seed is the hottest dining option to open in Toowoomba.

The plant-based restaurant serves a menu that's completely vegan and gluten-free.

The sweet potato and daikon curry is served with fresh curry leaves, coriander and coconut milk with herb and chili-infused corn cous cous.

They're even serving after-hours takeaway options called "little seed boxes".

3. Design your own burger and salad

Where: Henry's Garden and Grill, High Street Shopping Centre

AFTER working at the USQ refectory, cook Henry Han decided the best way to make the best meal he could was to let the consumer pick.

"There would be 10 people (who were) gluten free or 10 people who didn't like tomato so I had this idea to offer them a list and they can pick what to eat," he said.

That's how he coined the idea of Henry's Garden and Grill.

So if you're after a trusted vegan meal, put together your own burger or salad at the Rangeville eatery.
