hello all,
returned from my adventures. was worried about finding veg food in the land of schnitzel, but there turned out to be veg restuarants all over the place! and really awesome ones too. the best part was that most of the ones i went to were very vegan friendly but also had lacto-ovo options and one even had fish, which was good since my dad was able to find food to his liking. my fave was a place called the bio bar, they had this awesome dish (probably the most yummy thing i've ever eaten in my life) which was beer battered tofu served with this vegetable curry-ish concoction - seemed like a spinach and lentil thing with these itty bitty potatoes in it. soooooo gooooood. i've got to try to make that. one thing though is that when the chef is different, the same thing ordered on the menu comes out almost completely different; different vegetables and everything. that's kinda weird, but good for variety if you're a regular, i guess. they also had some awesome desserts. still have a chunk of their nougat sitting in my fridge - you can only eat a tiny bit of that stuff at a time, it's so good. another good place was inkal, it had really delish bruschetta, and i tried a vegan schnitzel there (which was tasty, but all that wheat gluten & side fries didn't sit well with me!) the most posh place we went to was called wrenkh, good food, great presentation. a really nice atmosphere. they had these really good non-deep-fried springrolls in a rice wrapper. and a yummy tofukebab. the only other place i really went to was a veg-friendly chinese place, this huge 2-storey place that had neat decorating, i think it was called go wok. their menu had a good legend on it for what was vegetarian. pretty tasty food too. anyhow, i found all but the last of these restaurants on the happy cow website (there are many more out there, but i didn't wind up finding them). here's the link: http://www.happycow.net/index.html |

Maybe I'm just used to uniformity, but when I order things from a restaurant I want it to look and taste the same every time I order it. If I want something different, I'll order something different. -Rubystars |
