What’s not to love about Gatorta in Mexico City?
They give you delicious vegan versions of classic Mexican street food and serve it from a pop up stand featuring the cutest cartoon cat I’ve seen in a long while.
Check it out.

Only UK vegan pizzeria
Have you made an effort to visit the only 100% vegan pizza restaurant in the UK?
Photos are starting to flow out of Purezza in Brighton and they are making me feel kinda sad that I’m on the other side of the world. I wonder if they deliver to Mexico?
The restaurant offers a huge range of about 20 pizzas and the menu includes such delicacies as four cheese pizza and chocolate calzone.
Keep scrollin’, scrollin’, scrollin’ to see some of the good stuff.
Vegan bakery
Mexico City is intensely invested in vegan food. It is everywhere.
Street food vendors? Pizza shops? Ice cream parlours? Yes, yes and hell to the yes!
Mexico City has all of this and more. I would even boldly suggest the mega-city is up there with the untouchable plant-based locations of Portland, Austin, Berlin and Los Angeles.
Vegan food is such a serious concern here in Mexico City, you can even shop in a 100% vegan and gluten free bakery.
Check out these photos from my visit to Pan Gabriel in the leafy Condesa neighbourhood.
Best vegan food in Europe
Here it is, people.
It is time once again for one of my infamous FGV sweeping statements.
The following photos detail the best vegan food in Europe. Yes, that’s correct. The BEST vegan food in Europe.
Hold on tight.
Vegan food in Munich
If you ever visit the German city of Munich, you MUST make time to buy yourself one of these incredible vegan kebabs.
Josh and I found ourselves with a few hours to spare in Munich last month before heading to Passau to board a vegan river cruise on the Danube. A quick scan of the HappyCow app informed us that right next to the Munich hauptbahnhof was a kebab shop offering vegan kebabs called Royal Kebabhaus.
Although the shop served meat, the friendly server was quick to assure us which options were vegan. In fact, they were so proud of their vegan-friendliness it was plastered all over the exterior of the kebab shop.
We both ordered the vegan durum kebab which consisted of thinly-shredded seitan rolled up in flatbread with fresh salad and house-made sauces. I think the seitan was made by Wheaty but even if it wasn’t, it was the perfect combination of crispy and chewy with an incredible taste. Not being one to show restraint, I also ordered a vegan pide topped with seitan, served with a selection of fresh salads and sauces. So, so good!

Vegan restaurant NOT closed!
Remember when I told you Dou Dou in Camden was closed? You can see that original and hysterical post here.
The truth of the matter appears to be that the restaurant was closed temporarily for renovations.
Check out this update from Kellie:
As we came back home via London after the Vegan River Cruise, we happened by Camden and…whether to rub salt into my wounds or what…we decided to peak at the old Dou Dou…only to be very excited by the A-board out the front and the neon Open sign flashing!!
So apparently Dou Dou was closed for 3 weeks over Christmas for some renovations. Everything looked fairly similar / if not the same except perhaps for new tiles on the floor. There were some new faces and less staff than usual. It does make me wonder why they wouldn’t let people know (even if just by written sign on the door) that they were only temporarily closed?!
But…if renovations were in the works it perhaps suggests a more rosy picture than them struggling 🙂
Thanks for the good news, Kellie!
Vegan restaurants: 1. London soaring property prices: 0.
Get back into Dou Dou for greasy vegan food.
New vegan food in Hackney
I know what you are going to say.
East London doesn’t need more vegan food and people should spread the plant-based love to other parts of the city and the UK.
Well, you might be retracting your complaint when you read about how awesome the brand new Café SoVegan is and you’ll probably be thankful it exists, even if it is in Hackney.
On hearing about the impending launch of the cafe, I reached out to co-owner Davina Pascal-O’Mahoney to get the lowdown on this new food business and this is what she shared with me:
¡Taco taco taco!

I was super-excited to read on the LA Times website that Los Angeles is getting a brand-new taquería, opened by none other than actor Danny Trejo and it appears to be very vegan-friendly! The LA Times article quotes Danny saying;
“Here, we wanted to include everybody, so we have a great vegan menu and gluten-free menu.”
Other online articles speculated that Trejo’s Tacos was 100% vegan but it has since been established that it is just vegan-friendly as they posted a picture of a chicken taco on their Instagram feed. Either way, I can’t wait to find out more during my next trip to LA!
As a side-note, FGV and I visited our first vegan taquería here in Mexico City last night… review and pics coming soon!
You can follow Trejo’s Tacos on Twitter and Instagram, or like the Facebook page.
All vegan burger restaurant
During my recent cruise along the Danube, I was pleasantly surprised and sometimes shocked by how much vegan food is out there across Europe.
Take Linz, Austria for instance.
Linz is a city with a population floating around the 200,000 mark, so you might not expect to find much in the way of plant-based eating.
But Front Food is having none of my misconceptions.
This 100% vegan burger restaurant would not be out of place in NYC or LA, but a moderately sized city in the gorgeous Austrian countryside is the only place you’ll find it.
Check out the glorious decor and the mouthwatering cuisine.
Indian to your door
I am sitting in Mexico City as I type this blog post and I’m thinking maybe I left London a few days too early.
Check out this glorious vegan Indian food you can get delivered to your London home or office starting this week.
