These are the 7 most vegetarian-friendly cities in Europe
Years ago, about 20 years ago, most restaurants didn’t have vegetarian options. As a vegetarian, you were lucky if you could order a green salad with some bread to start. Fortunately, times have changed, and nowadays we find vegetarian restaurants everywhere we go—or at least restaurants with an extensive vegetarian offering. Planning a European city trip and want to know which city has the largest selection of vegetarian restaurants? These are the 7 most vegetarian-friendly cities in Europe.
1. Berlin: 128 vegetarian restaurants
You might not expect it with all those currywurst stands on every street corner, but Berlin really does have the most vegetarian and vegan restaurants in all of Europe. No fewer than 128, putting this city comfortably at the top. Very trendy in this city: vegan fast food and farmers’ markets with organic products. Wie schön!
2. Paris: 60 vegetarian restaurants
We absolutely love French cuisine. But honestly, it isn’t exactly known for its rich vegetarian offering. Foie gras, entrecote, boeuf bourguignon… Fortunately, if you don’t want to indulge in all that French meat, you can breathe a sigh of relief in Paris. With 60 vegetarian restaurants, you’ll have enough options to eat wonderfully as a vegetarian.
3. Barcelona: 56 vegetarian restaurants
If you choose Spain as your destination, you don’t have to leave your vegetarian principles behind. Certainly not if you choose a holiday in Barcelona, because you’ll find no fewer than 56 vegetarian restaurants there. In the mood for vegetarian paella? Then visit Vegetalia (Gotico). For tapas, head to Veggie Garden.
4. Leicester: 54 vegetarian restaurants
It may not be the first city that comes to mind when planning a city trip, but Leicester has plenty to offer. Including when it comes to vegetarian restaurants: with 54 vegetarian spots, this English city earns a fine fourth place on this list. Surprising fact: the range of vegetarian restaurants in Leicester is larger than the selection in London.
5. Vienna: 53 vegetarian restaurants
Anyone in Vienna eats a wiener schnitzel—but obviously not if you’re vegetarian. Unless you can order a vegetarian wiener schnitzel, of course. In one of the 53 vegetarian restaurants this Austrian city has to offer, that should surely be possible.
6. Amsterdam: 49 vegetarian restaurants
Amsterdam is always a good choice. Even better: you don’t have to travel far to get there. Even better still: it’s a wonderfully suitable city for vegetarians and vegans. Not only does it have a 100% vegan supermarket (Vegan Fresco), but there’s also plenty of choice when it comes to vegetarian restaurants. No fewer than 49 options, spread throughout the city. We already knew it: Amsterdam never disappoints, and that applies here too.
7. Warsaw: 45 vegetarian restaurants
Like French cuisine, Polish cuisine isn’t particularly vegetarian-friendly. Still, as a vegetarian, you don’t have to worry about having to go hungry during a weekend in Warsaw: there are 45 vegetarian restaurants with extensive menus.
