Tuesday was Mexican themed and I ate a plateful of Mexican vitamin salad, Mexican vegetables, green lentil sauce, cauliflower fajitas and salsa. You can also add items sold behind the counter; I went for a slice of pizza, lasagne with seitan which was more like a pasta bake and a potato skin filled with vegan cheese and mushroom. It was hearty, healthy, tasty food.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image1-e1564524983398.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image1-e1564524983398-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image1-e1564524983398-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image1-e1564524983398-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image1-e1564524983398-1080x1440.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There was no way that I was leaving without dessert; \u201care you going to eat both of those\u201d asked my friend in astonishment, and she knows that I can eat. \u201cYes, yes I am\u201d, I replied whilst asking the cashier to serve me the biggest slice of the cacao and banana pie; I think I momentarily forgot that the biggest slice would be accounted for in the price! I had a slice of the lemon and coconut cheesecake too. Both were delicious and you\u2019d be hard pushed to tell that they didn\u2019t contain chocolate or refined sugar. Sammy was right though, I was well and truly stuffed; the desserts are particularly filling as generous portions filled with nuts, seeds, dates. I didn\u2019t have the sort of the food hangover you get with your local Chinese buffet where you are undoing your trousers. I felt rather virtuously full, particularly as we then decided to forego the taxi and walk back to our hotel. I did almost have a heart attack when I paid my bill, for reasons I\u2019d not anticipated. Not only was it over half the price of what you\u2019d pay for the same in London but at around \u00a310 for a plateful of food and selection of desserts, it was the cheapest meal we\u2019d had in Montenegro!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image9.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"733\" height=\"938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image9.jpeg 733w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image9-234x300.jpeg 234w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We returned for an earlier dinner the following day, we wanted to make that they weren\u2019t running out of any of the dishes. There is a constant flow of customers, even past their closing time of 9pm. Wednesday was a Russian hot buffet, two fingers up to my sister who tells me that it is too difficult to veganise Russian food; by two fingers, I mean the V sign of course! I had baked potato with dill, mushroom sauce, cabbage stew, tartar sauce, draniki potato pancakes and spaghetti. Sammy and I shared bits from the cold counter; a seitan sausage roll, burger and pizza.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image4-e1564524966196.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image4-e1564524966196-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image4-e1564524966196-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image4-e1564524966196-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image4-e1564524966196-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image4-e1564524966196-1080x810.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image5-e1564524878829.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image5-e1564524878829-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image5-e1564524878829-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image5-e1564524878829-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image5-e1564524878829-1080x1440.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image3-e1564524949304.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image3-e1564524949304-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image3-e1564524949304-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image3-e1564524949304-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image3-e1564524949304-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image3-e1564524949304-1080x810.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I learnt my lesson from the night before and ordered smaller slices of dessert, granted I still had to have two, but smaller all the same.
