Vegetarian Travel: Czech Republic/ Vienna

I recently went on a trip that took in lots of the Czech Republic and Vienna and took photos of my meals for a travel blog. I stayed with lots of lovely hosts who showed me great places to eat and drink and even cooked me some lovely meals. So big thanks to Paty, Lenka, Sarah, Anna and Michal.

I had been eating little or no dairy before the trip, but thought that might be a little hard while travelling. So here are a few shots of the vegetarian & vegan meals I had along the way. I'm afraid I was a poor journalist and forgot to record the names of the places I ate, but hopefully my hosts might be able to help me amend this after reviewing the meals we shared!


Prague: 

Indian Restaurant near Old Town Square
 This was charged by weight and came to about 6 euro,
which is expensive for Prague, but it was quite the meal!


This dirty snack is available in lots of Czech pubs, good for hangovers!
Camembert Cheese pickled in oil with garlic & onion


Vegan City - a strange Asian/ faux meat restaurant
 Vegan Prawns & Mushroom Soup
Quite tasty! No idea what these vegan prawns are made of.

Tofu Wrapped in Seaweed
aka. Horrible Explosion of MSG


Thanks to Paty, one of my hosts in Prague, for making this delicious one:
Pastry with Spinach and Balkan Cheese


Brno: 

Vegalité
This two-course lunch cost me about 3 euro!
 Beetroot Soup Starter

 Fried Cheese and Potato with Salad


Vienna:

Thanks to my host, Sarah, for this delicious Austrian dish:
Marillenknodel,
Traditional Austrian Apricot Dumplings

Maschu Maschu
Fried Pastry filled with Feta Cheese & Spinach, served with tzatziki


I also made a wee film on my trip, which you can see here:
