We were recently (review written in February 2020 but only just posted) travelling from the South of France back up to North Wales following a ski trip, and it was getting close to lunchtime, we were on the M6 and decided to have a look on The Happy Cow website to see if there were…
A freezing cold and windy day in February stood on the touchline watching football in Caernarfon is not my idea of a fun Saturday morning. However, it did mean that as a consolation we could head to Bangor for lunch. That’s Bangor in North Wales mind and not Bangor in Northern Ireland as I found…
hypha (with a small h) is a plant based restaurant that opened around 12 months ago in Chester. It’s tucked away “on the walls” so you have to know it’s there as you ain’t going to stumble across it! It describes itself as: small plates/ cocktails/fermentation. Three of us went there mid-week on a horrible,…
Herb is a vegetarian and vegan Kerala restaurant in the centre of Leicester providing a menu of fully vegetarian and vegan meals. Our family recently went there and this is our review of the food. Jonathan I have to say that our family love eating Indian and Pakistani food, and this particular restaurant was outstanding…
We were recently on a course in Manchester and decided to go out for a meal afterwards, particularly because the course was situated at a convenient location not that far from Greens. Greens Restaurant is one of the premier vegetarian restaurants in the North West, or at least likes to think it is. Furthermore, it…
The French do lots of things really, really well. Health services, roads, preserving landscapes and heritage… but two things they really don’t get are vegetarian food and toilets (not that the two are related!). Toilets? If you’ve never been to France then your first visit to a French service station toilet will be an experience…
A special occasion deserves a special meal and so with an armful of birthday presents we rocked up to 1847 in Manchester. We have been here a couple of times before and always had a gorgeous meal but we hadn’t been since it moved locations to new premises a few streets away. Would it be…
We have already been to this café twice before. Each time we have been so hungry that we’ve eaten half the food before realising we had forgotten to take photos! Third time lucky… Until recently, Chester (surprisingly given it’s size) has had a bit a dirth when it comes to catering for vegetarians/vegans. OK, so…
Fellinis is the sister restaurant to Zeffirellis (see previous review) with a similar colour scheme and feel: banquet seating, art work on the walls, pristine white tablecloths etc – you get the picture. This is vegetarian fine dining with a menu to match. All starters and desserts are priced at £6.95 and mains £13.95. There…
Green’s Café in Grasmere made a handy, halfway stop for lunch on a 7 mile walk from Rydal Water and back. Grasmere is one of the prettiest spots in the Lake District, a place untouched by time, busy but not heaving with tourists like Windermere or Ambleside. It also the place selling “Sarah Nelson’s World…
