If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you may sometimes worry about finding good food on vacation. Many restaurants focus on meat and fish dishes, as this is what many people want to eat when they’re on holiday. However, some destinations cater really well for vegetarians and vegans, check out three of the best European destinations for vegetarians.
Spain
Although Spanish cuisine may include a lot of meat and fish dishes, the Mediterranean climate also means that vegetables are put center stage in plenty of recipes. Whether you opt for a refreshing bowl of gazpacho soup, a tapas dish of chargrilled peppers or a vegetarian paella, you are sure to find vibrant and delicious vegetarian and vegan options wherever you are in Spain.
Germany
German cuisine also tends to focus on meat products, but across the country you will find many cafes and restaurants catering to vegetarians and vegans. Many younger Germans have enthusiastically adopted vegetarian and vegan diets, so there are also great ranges of meat and dairy free foods in supermarkets.
Greece
The warm, sunny climate of Greece means conditions are ideal to grow delicacies such as eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes, okra and salad leaves. Seek out comforting, traditional dishes such as Greek bean stews or feta and spinach filled pastry parcels, or enjoy browsing in local markets for some of the finest fruit and vegetable produce you will ever taste.
