Bath is one of my favourite cities for a weekend break in the south of England. Between the beautiful Georgian architecture, Roman history and cosy cafés tucked down hidden alleyways, it’s also a surprisingly good destination if you’re looking for vegan food in Bath. I’ve visited Bath several times over the years, but during our…
Before visiting, I had heard that Busan isn’t as vegan or vegetarian-friendly as Seoul and so I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t have high expectations. I had read that Korea is a challenging country to visit if you don’t eat meat and fish. Friends of mine who’d lived here years ago told me…
Finding vegetarian food in Seoul is challenging, but it’s not impossible. As someone who is vegetarian and lactose intolerant to most dairy, apart from cheese, I knew it wouldn’t be smooth sailing. Seoul, like many places across Asia, is a city that truly loves its meat, so I knew I’d need to do some serious…
When people talk about Seoul, they usually mention Korean skincare, K-pop or late-night barbecue. And while all of those are valid reasons to fall in love with the city, nobody does weird and quirky cafes quite like Seoul. I have never seen cafe culture quite like what I witnessed in Seoul. The city is known…
When I was booking my flights, I found myself wondering what vegetarian food in Shanghai would be like – especially since my last experience in the region wasn’t great. 16 years ago in Hong Kong, finding vegetarian food was a real struggle, but a lot of time has passed since then, so I was optimistic….

I had heard that travelling through the Balkans can be tough for vegetarians and vegans, but honestly speaking, I didn’t struggle too much.

Restaurants in Kaunas blew me away with their vegetarian offerings. Given that this is a small city in Lithuania, albeit the second largest, my expectations weren’t high. I spent 2 days in Kaunas and ended up on somewhat of a foodie adventure trying as much local cuisine as possible at some of the best places…

York has so many adorable little restaurants and snugs that are nestled all across the city and finding great vegan food here is a breeze.

Porto honestly blew me away with the vegan and vegetarian food on offer; not only is the food of high quality, but dining out in restaurants is very affordable too. Given the struggles I faced finding vegan food in the Philippines on our last trip, this time I researched the eateries I wanted to try…
Finding vegan food across the Philippines; the land of pork and seafood, was a real struggle – until I discovered Taste El Nido! This trip was reminiscent of my trip to Hong Kong 14 years ago, when it was virtually impossible to find any vegetarian dish that didn’t contain pork. I naively expected better in…
The Berlin food scene is on another level. Supposedly the cheapest capital city in the whole of Europe, it really does have it all.

The drive up to Ponsbourne Park Hotel and Ponsbourne Pods is simply breath-taking; particularly on a sunny day.

During our stay at Burnham Beeches Hotel earlier this week, we discovered that the Laura Ashley Tea Room are participating in the government ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ scheme.

My sister and I surprised our Mum with the Indian Jasmine Afternoon Tea at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate for her 60th birthday a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve been browsing the menus for all the restaurants at The Grove for years now, in the hope of visiting someday, however, I wanted to save it for a special occasion. I finally visited for the first time a few weeks ago when I decided to surprise Jass with a meal at The Glasshouse for…
I had such great feedback about my favourite vegan friendly restaurants in Dublin , that I thought I’d put together a similar post for the best vegan friendly restaurants in Belfast.
