Soulmama is a breath of fresh air.....
Upon entry a feeling of peace sweeps over you as classic Thonet furnishings offer their comforts. The spectacular view over Port Phillip Bay and St Kilda Beach is truly serene, yet so casual that you feel compelled to plonk down and soak up the atmosphere.
Located in the heart of the historical St Kilda Sea Baths building, Soulmama takes modern style and fine vegetarian dining to a new level.
Head Chef Cathy Maguire works her magic in the completely vegetarian kitchen with her fleet of chefs, as she entices your senses with her praised global vegetarian food. A dining experience which enhances a compassionate and harmonious approach to eating and living.
Soulmama also houses a lounge with a welcoming open gas fireplace and bed-like couches; immaculately untarnished bathrooms; and outdoor balconies.
Adjoining the restaurant is Soulbar - a private function room for up to 80 guests. It is the perfect location for post work or pre-dinner drinks, or simply for soaking up the sunset, watching the western storms roll in or making peace when the Bay is at its calmest.

Gratitude Water
The human body comprises 70% water and the quality of the water that a person drinks is one of the most important decisions that a person can make. Dr. Masaru Emoto found that the quality and nature of water changes to reflect the environment that it is subjected to. Water bottles placed in pristine forests, meditative environments or even where positive words were displayed like peace and love and gratitude near the water, all produced amazingly beautiful water crystals in the water when frozen. By comparison regular tap water and even bottled water produced very dull and bland formations in the water.
Gratitude water is produced in a positive environment to achieve a great harmony in the water you drink which will reflect in your greater sense of well being.
