Both guidebooks and friends have warned me that there’s not much for vegetarians in Norway. The menus feature fish, fish, and more fish.
Looking on the bright side, at least I won’t be spending as much on food this trip (I’m envisioning cheese sandwiches from the bakery rather than a sit-down dinner). Usually I look forward […]

I just feel like giving a shout out to Fodor’s guidebooks for finding me some excellent vegetarian eats recently. Especially in Rome! Reviews coming up soon.
Do you have a favorite guidebook for traveling while vegetarian?

I’d been wanting to try Blue Nile, an Ethiopian restaurant here in Munich, for a while now. This weekend I finally got a chance to go, and it was definitely worth the trip. I’ve been a fan of Ethiopian food for a while now, partially because there’s always some fabulous vegetarian items on the menu. […]

I spent a lot of time in Italy drooling over gorgeous displays of fresh fruits and veggies at the many green markets we encountered. Even though I can find pretty good produce at home in Germany, it’s nothing compared to the sumptuous offerings at even the most modest of Italian farm stands. The tomatoes, artichokes, […]

I just got back from a week of eating my way through Italy. Details coming soon, including reviews of a couple new vegetarian restaurants I got to try. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
Photo: Pici (thick Tuscan noodles) with mushrooms. So yummy.

Berlin is one of my favorite cities in the world, but food is not one of the city’s strong points (especially when you’re dining with non-vegetarians who want to sample the local delicacies). Still, every once in a while I manage to stumble across a blog-worthy meal there.
I had a great meal at Samadhi on […]

Thanks to a recent comment from Nat, I was inspired to try out the vegan restaurant Saf im Zerwirk today. Saf is in the middle of downtown Munich, just steps away from the Hofbräuhaus.
I coaxed a new friend to go try Saf for lunch. The restaurant had a very clean, modern interior, and the waiters […]

Who knew Munich was such a vegetarian-friendly city? For Valentine’s Day (thus the rose petals on the table) my husband surprised me with reservations at Cafe Ignaz, a vegetarian restaurant we hadn’t tried yet.
The menu was extensive, with both vegetarian and vegan items well-represented. Specialties included pastas, pizzas, gratins, gnocchi, crepes, and stir-fry. I ordered […]

Even though food has pretty much completely disappeared from US domestic flights, there are still plenty of airline meals being served on long-haul flights around the world. Luckily, pretty much every airline will serve you a vegetarian meal these days, although the quality of these meals can vary greatly. Make sure you put in your […]

I admit it, I love Whole Foods. I so rarely get to visit one, though, since they haven’t yet started to colonize Germany (at least not to my knowledge). I had the chance to browse through a Whole Foods market in Boston last week, and loved every minute of it (grocery store tourism is fun!). […]
