Yangon, Myanmar is an up-and-coming travel destination. It has a sensory overload of experience to offer, from the eye candy of its lush golden temples to the urban ex-pat nightlife. Yangon Yoga House and their co-joined vegan Nourish Café collectively form a sanctuary of sustainable escape in from the stress of the city. Its downtown location is tucked away down a quiet alley away from traffic-heavy of Alan Pya Pagoda…
The Butcher’s Daughter is a cozy, crisp concept with lots of fresh food, good music and a very friendly staff. There is an easy going vibe for people enjoying their good, fresh food. We were happy to see that a new location for The Butcher’s Daughter was added since the last time we were in NY. So there is one in Nolita and one in the West Village. On their…
Fasano is a village in the beautiful region of Puglia. Its close to sea, and there are olive groves everywhere. There are lots of places with good food in Italy (hey it’s Italy!), but if you want something besides a great pasta pomodoro or a pizza without cheese, please stop by Soleterra. You will be pleasantly surprised. Soleterra is a cosy health-shop with a restaurant. It’s organic but not completely…
I live on the east coast of Australia in a coastal town called Byron Bay. We have juice bars and salad bars and most places will be able to “veganise” a dish by leaving out a few ingredients. The pub down the road from me has vegetarian nachos. When I go there for dinner, I ask them for the vegan version, which means I get the corn chips, salsa, guacamole…
“A beauty-salon for you insides.

Avant Garden is a wonderful vegan restaurant in East Village, New York. When you walk through the door there is a very nice ambiance. We didn’t make any reservations but we were fortunate that we got seating at the bar, so we could see all the chefs work in the open kitchen. Is there anything better than watching people passionately create one wonderful plate after another? Avant Garden is truly…
If you’ve ever been to Alberobello, you know that this little white town looks like a fairytale with all the trulli houses. In the heart of Alberobello there is a special trulli house where you can have great organic, mostly vegan food. At Terra Madre they had a dream. A dream where man and land rediscovered their old friendship. The concept is simple: sowing, growing and harvesting by using the…
This week I have to make an exception and write a review about a truly wonderful vegan dinner from a non-vegan restaurant. Why? Because this dinner was of such high standards that I can confidently say that it was one of my best vegan dinners ever! This goes to show that is possible to have great vegan food in a non-vegan place. I contacted Kruisherenhotel ahead of time to ask…
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…
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 &…
