Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 A Raw Vegan around the world in 120 days! This little article is just to give anyone going to the same countries as I did some idea as to how I THRIVED on my diet. Though generally speaking, I stayed at my internet friends' homes or hotels or on trains or a plane. This is about the Veggie hotels and eating places that I can recommend GUEST HOUSES CANADA. The only two veggie guest houses I stayed in were both in Canada and run by FRENCH MEN! The first was Chez Philippe 2457 rue Sainte Catherine East, MONTREAL, Quebec, H2K 2J9 phn <phn www.chezphilippe.info <http://www.chezphilippe.info/> ; I stayed here just the one night; the owner was Philippe, who provide me with a lovely all fruit breakfast, just what I wanted! Highly recommended. The second place I stayed was also Veggie Le Amis – Vegetarian Bed & Breakfast. 31 Granby Street, Toronto, M5B 1H8 les-amis <les-amis http://www.bbtoronto.com <http://www.bbtoronto.com/> Right bang in the centre of Toronto, in old building surrounded by NEW TALL buildings! I stayed here for three nights, on the top (3rd) floor. LOVELY breakfasts each morning, always fresh fruit, but he made me some cooked vegan breakfasts as well, including vegan waffles! Never had waffles before! Anyone vegetarian or Vegan will do well to stay here. Highly recommended. RESTAURANTS CANADA. Montreal. I was taken to a Vegetarian Thai restaurant where they specialise in Soya (vegan) meat like foods. Sorry have not got the address. Toronto. There were LOADS of veggie places here. But I only tried the two nearest where I was staying. I recommend BOTH HIGHLY. Vegetarian Haven, 17 Baldwin Street. info <info www.vegetarianhaven.com <http://www.vegetarianhaven.com/> Everything was in fact VEGAN! Large restaurant always seemed very busy with mainly young people. Good range of foods. Highly recommended Commensal Fine vegetarian cuisine. www.commensal.ca <http://www.commensal.ca/> ; info <info Another fine place to eat. Instead of waitress service there was a buffet style pick your own food (all clearly labelled vegan and allergy free foods). You paid by the weight of food on your plate, both main course & desert. Lovely VEGAN chocolate cake. Yummy! Both of these places were not small, and were well patronised. USA Bay City, Michigan. Coffee House Express. Not exclusively veggie, BUT served vegan food, and top quality. Willing to make things fit your taste & diet. 916 North Water Street, Downtown, Bay City. (617 893 8898). WONDERFUL little place. FORT WORTH Texas SPIRAL DINER. 1314 West Magnolia Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76104 www.spiraldiner.com <http://www.spiraldiner.com/> This was unbelievable. This must be one of the VERY BEST VEGGIE RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD. Yes in the heart of TEXAS. Huge variety. Large and always busy. Fresh vegetable juices made on the spot. Vegan and veggie and various such diets catered for on request. I cannot fail to recommend this place as highly as possible. If you go to Dallas/Fort Worth you MUST GO HERE (CLOSED Mondays) California Stockton (near San Francisco) CoCo.ro, 2105 Pacific Avenue Ca95204 (209 941 6053) Not veggie, BUT they serve Vegans well if you ask. Japanese Bistro & Sushi bar. Los Angeles Casar de Souza Vegetarian Café, (sorry lost the details) but it is close to the main railway station, in a very Spanish area. I loved this little place. Lovely salads here. Argentina There were three vegetarian restaurants in Buenos Aires, but were closed on Sunday sadly New Zealand didn't actually go to any veggie restaurants. AUSTRALIA Sydney Lovely Gourmet salad place. Make salad sandwiches to your choice, Near to the Botanical gardens. Adelaide This was an impressive city, nice and clean and HOT! But they had a GOOD range of vegetarian and organic places and open markets. I only patronised two restaurants. THER WERE BOT EXCELLENT, Bliss Vegetarian/organic restaurant, (very close to market halls) Excellent food and owners. Always a vegan option, and always eager to serve what you want. VERY HIGHLY recommended. SPROUTS Gourmet Vegetarian restaurant 39 Hindmarsh Square, 8232 6977 Sprouts </Sprouts (AT) ace (DOT) net.au> Another first class veggie restaurant. What I say but praise. There are other veggie places in Adelaide, but only had time to try these two. ALICE SPRINGS There is a veggie restaurant there but I was not there at its opening times, but it was recommended by the man in charge of the Backpackers' hotel. PERTH ORGANICA shop 3B Shafto Lane 880 Hay Street Perth 08 9321 0345 NOT 100% vegetarian, but vegetarian & vegan friendly. They care about REAL GOOD GM AND organic foods. Several other vegetarian places to eat in Perth. Vegan (soya) ice cream available at Gelare`s. Philippines Only saw one actual veggie restaurant, but it had closed at the time we arrived. Seemed quite good. HONG KONG Life Organic wholefoods, 10 Shelley Street, Soho, Central, 852 2810 9777 info <info www.lifecafe.com.hk <http://www.lifecafe.com.hk/> Another highly recommended veggie restaurant, right in the centre of Hong Kong. First class foods & service. Loads of places in HK serve veggie food. One other place I went too Evergreen House, Flt B2 9/F, Kingston Building, 2 Kingston Street, Causway Bay. 2882 3723 Also most eating places at the Buddha sanctuary are vegetarian. SINGAPORE Didn't visit any specific veggie restaurants, but MOST places served veggie meals. A lot stressed that they did. It was difficult though in a restaurant in Singapore to get raw food. BUT raw fruit & veg were plentiful in the shops. In general I found it quite easy to get salads and fruit in most places so I certainly was able to eat healthily and things that I enjoyed. Happy Cow's Vegetarian guides on the internet are very useful. Most cities will have at least 3 or 4 veggie or veggie friendly places to eat in the lists. www.happycow.net <http://www.happycow.net/> This is by no means a FULL list of places, as I often ate my own raw food. I cooked one of my stir fries in 11 of my friends' homes. All vegan of course. The trains and planes all gave me passable or GOOD service as a vegan Love & Peace & *smiles* Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
