Lentil as Anything
is a unique vegetarian restaurant that is run as a hot-for-profit community organisation
and largely staffed by volunteers.
Our philosophy is to allow the customer to decide
what they want to pay for thier food and drinks.
You decide the worth of the food, the
experience, and the philosophy then upon
leaving put an anonymous donation into the
box on the counter.
At Lentils, we aspire to provide a new model of community organisation. One that addr-
esses social isolation experienced by new migrants and socially isolated people.
We provide support and training for refugees, youth and other members of our commu-
nity who are struggling to find an opportunity in their new social environment. All four
locations also operate as training facilities for trainees to enter the hospitality industry.
Lentil as Anything started in 2000 and now has four locations, one at Blessington Street,
St. Kilda, another at the Abbotsford Convent in St. Heliers Street, Abbotsford and a new
local has opened at 233 Barkly Street, Footscray.
It also runs the canteen at the Colling-
wood College, the first ever school canteen to be run in this manner.
Lentilians believe Australia's strength is in its multiculturalism and social inclusion.
We want to develop and encourage ideals of trust, generosity and respect.
We provide food to countless people without drawing attention to their financial circum-
stances and encourage the interaction and involvement from people
from all walks of life.
Lentils seek to encourage interaction, cultural exchange and community growth.
It is also
developing programs in addition to its restaurants, using our unique community develop-
ment model to address the hardship of inequality that would normally be experienced by
the people who come to and work at Lentils. We provide Immigration Support via a soley
dedicated Imigration Consultunt and allocation of cultural exchange visas.
We also provide long term term emergency accomodation for our volunteers.
