When we were in Lisbon in 2015 we had dinner at Terra Restaurante Natural for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. Great food, kind people and lots of positive reviews and clippings on the wall. Even from Moby (long time vegan). So when planning our trip this year we knew we wanted to come back here. Terra (meaning Earth in Portuguese) is a vegetarian (and mostly vegan) restaurant, considered…
As promised, we went back to Miss Saigon. What can I say…it is one of my favorites spots in Lisbon. We had a reservation for a first lunch in Lisbon, almost straight from the airport. This time I didn’t go for the combination-platter. I needed room for the desserts… The first day I had lovely Jewish pastries… mmm…really good! And I had a very nice pear cake as dessert, while my…
A veggie gem in historic Mitte! Just the other day I read the following sentence: Kudos if you can locate this chic herbivore haven right away. I couldn’t agree more…it was not easy, and it turned out to be a real quest to find it. We came across strange corridors, blacks doors and even a restaurant-kitchen that turned out not to be Cookies Cream. But when we finally saw a…
November of last year we were in beautiful Paris….enjoying the good life and great food! One of my favorites was Gentle Gourmet, a beautiful 100% vegan restaurant with a great menu. We ate there twice and on both occasions I chose “The Famous”, a truly wonderful Portobello Hamburger. I know I should have tried something else but this Portobello Hamburger was too good to skip a second time! Located a few…
A few years ago I came across an article in a magazine about a vegetarian hotel in Berlin. Of course I was curious so I looked in to it and found The Almodovar Hotel listed on HappyCow! We knew that whenever we would go to Berlin we had to stay at The Almodovar Hotel. It is situated in the heart of the Berlin Scene District of Friedrichshain. A very hip…
We were in Amsterdam on a sunny afternoon early spring. I read about SLA, an organic salad bar, and was curious after reading so many good reviews. Jop & Nina & Ida opened the first SLA in 2013. The aim of this family company is to let as many people as possible taste great organic food. Most of it is plant-based and organic. They believe that ‘you are what you…
In the hustle and bustle of Friedrichshain, a neighbourhood in former East-Berlin where everything is hip & happening, you will find a little gem called Velicious. It’s a cute, tiny, all vegan (and gluten-free), café with a very nice ambiance. The owner is a lovely young woman called Steffi and it’s been a dream of hers to create a vegan and gluten-free café where you can have breakfast, lunch and…
House of Wonders is a wonderful combination of a gallery, a café with a great rooftop terrace and a very good vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options. It is situated in a lovely village named Cascais. Cascais is a beautiful little town by the sea, easy to access by train from Lisbon. It is a wondereful ride by train along the coastline. And once you arrive in Cascais, you have…
When we were planning a trip to Berlin everybody told us; ‘That is such a great city!’ ‘It is hip & happening in Berlin!’ This, of course, made us even more curious. And I have to admit, Berlin is hip & happening in all kinds of ways. There is a vibe in Berlin that says; ‘We can make change. We are looking for a new, greener, healthier lifestyle!’ And they…
When we went to Lisbon two years ago we did not know what to expect. Of course we did our ‘homework’ and copied a list from the HappyCow site with all kinds of vegan options. Miss Saigon was one of them. It took us a while before we found the place but it was worth searching for! Miss Saigon is a squeaky clean white minimalistic restaurant that serves multicultural dishes.…
