Oh, cool, I actually lived around Freo back then myself, it was just that I went to UWA and all my uni friends were more Perth based.
My Freo-based friends weren't vegetarian, but there used to be a couple of food courts near the Freo Markets which we went to pretty regularly as teens and in the 2000s, and the Markets themselves had a lot of little food places. Both had Indian stalls but I have no idea how vegetarian friendly they were.
I don't remember Dome taking off in Freo until a bit later, but I might be misremembering. There was definitely a big Miss Maud's facing the strip. In general, as I recall it was a little less pretentious than it is now, with more Italian places, though a far cry from the pre-gentrification Freo I vaguely remember from the 80s.
