Vegan surprise

by

Berlin is so incredibly vegan-friendly, I am still discovering vegan options long after I departed.

What the heck am I talking about?

I was flicking through food photos from my Berlin trip (food reminiscing is one of my favourite hobbies) when a picture of a Mexican-themed restaurant caught my attention. I remember taking the photo but only because I liked the look of it and the logo was a wrestling mask. It wasn’t a vegan or vegetarian restaurant as far as I could tell.

But I looked a bit more closely today and the chalk board out the front shows options for vegan burgers!

Has anyone eaten at this place? Was the food tasty?

I’ll be gone

Businesses come and go quickly and sadly vegan businesses can be the swiftest departures of them all. It is extremely difficult to stay afloat at the best of times and even harder when you are part of a ‘niche’ market.

I am sad to hear of the closure of a gorgeous vegan cafe in Barcelona called Vegan Bakery. I had only just visited a few months ago and now it appears to be no more. I’m not on the ground in that town to do my usual snooping, but I have seen whispers on the Internet that the close is temporary until a new location is found.

I would love to hear from anyone involved in the cafe or anyone with information on their future. It won’t be too long before I’m heading back that way and I would really love to support their endeavours.

Until then, take a sneak peak of what I enjoyed during my recent visit to Vegan Bakery.

Gopal vegan deli in Barcelona

If you want to go to vegan food heaven, get your backside to Barcelona and walk straight into a fantastic vegan deli known as Gopal. I proclaim this to be the finest vegan food in the entire city and I might even be bold enough to declare it in my top 5 restaurants in the world.

This post is very thin on words because I want the photos to do the talking. It was also important to me to get this up in the same week that Gopal announced their expansion. Madrid is very shortly and very fortunately going to be exposed to the Gopal goodness.

But enough from me and my FGV mouth. Let’s head on inside the deli to drool over some of the food I’ve consumed during my stay in Barcelona.
