Piadina Salentina

è una piadineria classica take away, ma la pasta delle piadine è tutta vegan a base di olio d'oliva. fatte sul momento, ottime. si possono farcire con seitan e verdure o prendere il vegan kebab così e come proposto. non ci sono posti a sedere,solo una panca all'esterno,ma questo street food è comodo anche da mangiare passeggiando per il centro di lecce.

Piadina Salentina is located in the city centre and it is very easy to find. You can either try the vegan kebab or have a piadina with seitan and choose the other fillings. Unfortunately, when I got there the place was very busy and I didn't have much time to decide what to have and to ask for the vegan fillings available on that day and therefore I went for the vegan kebab, which was very good. It is a take-away and there is only a bench outside the shop if you went to sit down.

How wonderful to see the word vegan. It's not a word I see on most menus throughout Italy. And what a treat to eat something other than pasta and salad. I thought the vegan kabob was quite delicious. I added avocado sauce as the girl working there recommend it. Give it a try.

We came to Lecce last year in October and found Piadina Salentina by coincidence visiting the ancient roman theatre. We got really surprised to know they offer a vegan kebab here, so we talked to the very friendly guy at the desk and he told us, how he produces the kebab by an own homemade receipe made of organic seitan and organic soy-sauce. We ordered two of them with avocada-creme and it was delicious! They also serve a local brewn organic beer and you can sit outside enjoying the view to the main square. If you are in the region don't miss it and support the owner who dreams of opening a 100% vegetarian restaurant one day, which would be the first in Puglia by the way...
