Just got back from a two week trip to Austria. We went to Vienna, Villach, Innsbrook, and Zel am Zee. Austrian food is not big on the vegetables but they do have some unique vegetarian specialties so you will have fun trying them out. Did I mention the bier? My favorite was the Weisbier (medium […]

I just came back from a trip to Toulouse, France for work. Toulouse is a beautiful city, full of energy, students, street life, night life, and 16th medieval century architecture. But it is a fusion of old and new in that Toulouse is the capital of the aerospace industry in France so it is also […]

I am originally from the UK and have visited far too many places to recount each city at this point. I will attempt to do so at some point. But there are some simple tips for finding vegetarian food in england. In every town in england you will find one or more Indian restaurants. You […]

Pasadena is a pretty historical town and has several good restaurants to choose from. But I have also found several bad ones, with the majority of those in Old Town, the most popular part of town. So all the good ones are just outside of Old town with a few exceptions. My favorite indian is […]

Portland is a vegetarian and vegan’s culinary paradise. There are an infinite number of vegan / vegertarians restaurants in this city and every other restaurant you might go to will have plenty of veg/vegan options. Portland is all about locally produced, locally made, and organic food. I could not possibly list all of the wonderful […]

Seattle is a great town and I have had the opportunity to go a few times for vacation and work related travel. There is a good emphasis on organic and locally grown food and several vegetarian eateries. Things to do: My favororite thing is Seattle is the Underground tour. This is a tour of the […]

Following my week in Dublin we headed out to Sligo and County Donegal for a “megalithic” road trip. We headed out on the motorway from Dublin and 4 hours later were in the countryside. We started out in Sligo Town, then over to Donegal Town, around the western coast to Carcheevan and Dunfanaghy. Then we […]

I have to come here for work and somehow always in the winter time, definitely not the time to be at the Beach in Holland. The local food is very bland and mainly meat based, which means you need to hit the few ethnic spots you can find. I did find one really good restaurant […]

I have an annual trip to Big Sky which naturally always involves snowboarding. I dislike the restaurant choices at the resort, super expensive and boring. But Big Sky has several neat restaurants in little shopping centers down the street from the resort, if you can get yourself out of the ski resort (you will need […]

Mountain view is the more affordable town right next to Palo Alto. I actually far prefer the restaurants here to Palo Alto and it is a bit less pretentious. The best part about the Mountain View restaurant scene is the ethnic diversity. All the restaurants have several veggie options, the prices are reasonable and the […]

Another place I frequent for work is College Station Texas. Fortunately I have found several good places to eat their as well. The best is definitely Excel Cafe. This is a quirky and mid-to-high-end (for College station) that does fresh ingrediants, great attention to detail, and well prefared food. They have several veggie choices in […]

I doubt that you will find yourself in Yuma Arizona, but I often do for work. Fortunately there is one really good place to eat, River City Grill. The restaurant is run by Oregon transplants and they have organic fare and several vegetarian choices. I reccomend the herb encrusted tofu. It is rather tasty. They […]

As part of my Dublin trip we went to Bru Na Boyne, which is near the town of Drogheda. You MUST go to passage Tombs of Newgrange and Knowth which is in Bru Na Boyne. This is literally one of th emost amazing neolithic sites on the planet. You can get a bus here (about […]

I traveled to Dublin for work and then vacation this past summer. It is a beautiful city filled with history, friendly people, and a modern day bustling city. It is like london but prettier and easier to get around. I found several excellent vegetarian and veg friendly restaurants. Cornucopia – Vegetarian restaurant in the center […]

For July 4th holiday break we went to Soufriere, St. Lucia, and flew into the airport at teh southern tip of the island. St. Lucia is a beautiful carribean island that is lush and tropical, with rain forest, beaches, and hiking. We stayed for 4 nights at the Fondoux Plantation cottages, which is a real […]

On our mexico holiday this Xmas we rented a car and after 4 days in Puerto Vallarta drove all the way to the city of Colima, which is in the state of Colima. The drive takes a long time (5 hours), but you go through ocean road, forest, mountains, little towns, and finally reach the […]
