When I heard about a raw vegan cruise in Croatia, it almost sounded too good to be true! I looked further into it, and discovered that it was on a private yacht, NOT a cruise ship, and it included daily yoga classes as well as lectures about raw lifestyle. I immediately called my sister, as we both love to be on the water (we were raised sailing with our parents),…
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…
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 back in Lisbon in February of this year and what a wonderful place to go for a holiday. Beautiful surroundings, ever so kind people and lots and lots of great vegan food! We had a new address on our list (from HappyCow of course!) and we had lunch on Saturday afternoon at Espaço da Rosa. Very nice ambiance and a truly wonderful buffet. Espaço da Rosa is a vegetarian restaurant (lunch &…
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…
After using the HappyCow App to navigate our way through Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, and Poland we thought we’d share a tiny taste (pardon the pun) of our experiences to help others that may find themselves overseas looking for the perfect vegan day in Rome… Rome is an incredible city with more history than almost anywhere in the world. It’s a beautiful place with awe-inspiring sights around every corner. Luckily…
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…
Team HappyCow traveled to Colombia, checked out vegan restaurants and attended Veg Fest Colombia in Bogotá, Colombia on January 7-22, 2017. Ken interviewed Nadja Troeger, the founder and organizer of the 2 week event, and two local residents discussing highlights from the event and exclusive insider vegan tips. Veg Fest Colombia consisted of plant-based food and product booths, speeches, live music, hikes, city and fruit tours, and more! Below is…
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 I stepped into the diner the first thing I saw — and smelled — was a tray of freshly-baked vegan donuts. Right then, I knew I had found a winner. Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge was recommended to me by my couchsurfing host upon arrival in the city. Naturally, I carved out some time to pop in for a visit (two, actually). Known for their busy weekend brunches, I made…
