Have you ever considered heading to Genoa for a vacation?
There are a lot of reasons why I think you should. Historic buildings. Gorgeous weather. Sunshine. Awesome public transport. And of course the sensational food at one of the best vegan eateries in Europe.
Read more below.

Jaa Nù is a compact cafe tucked away on one of Genova’s countless laneways in the historic centre. The vegan food offering changes daily and is presented in a glass deli case.
It’s simple. Order what you want and pay by weight.
Everything I ate at Jaa Nù was simply incredible. It’s plant-based and nutritious takes on traditional Italian cuisine. I honestly can’t remember the last time food tasted this good.




The food line up features lasagne, spinach tarts, cooked vegetables, salad, rice, and tiramisu. There is also limited supplies of fresh focaccia each day, including gluten free options.
The deli counter also features a selection of take home vegan cheeses and meats.
I know I can be very excitable, but trust me when I say that this eatery is a must-try. There is a good chance I’ll be visiting Genoa again with the sole purpose of eating here again.
