If you care about the world, you’ll care about what you eat.
We’re vegetarian travellers eating everything from Taiwanese street food to Costa Rican rice and beans. We want to know where our food comes from and always try to eat ethically sourced and local produce. We often chow down on vegan food.
The vegetarian and vegan food scene in Cape Town is blossoming with tasty, exciting and exceptional food available all over the city. As you might expect from a cultured capital city, there’s no shortage of vegetarian and vegan options in the city’s restaurants, despite the traditionally meaty focus of Afrikaner culture.
San Sebastian’s Old Town is a mythical destination for foodies, spoken of in hushed, reverent tones. On every cobblestone street, there’s a welcoming bar with small plates of “pinchos” already piled high to the delight of customers.
Eating out in Ecuador can either be dirt cheap or surprisingly expensive, as restaurants seem either to be holes-in-the-wall or high-end. Our favourite local dishes were quinoa soup and llapingacho (a potato, cheese and egg concoction), as well as arepas often prepared in hole-in-the-wall joints owned and run by the Venezuelan community.

Eating out is a huge part of the culture in Barcelona. The city is full of plazas and squares where friends meet for wine and tapas, and talk until the midnight hour. Most locals don’t even consider actually eating dinner until 9pm or later. Instead, Catalonians go bar-hopping in the evening and eat a different tapa at each stop.
For us early-eating Brits, a late dinner time can come as quite a shock. But it feels good to take your time, meet up for a drink, snack on tapas and unwind at the end of the day. After a while, Luke and I came to love it.

Portland has been on our must-visit list since forever. We heard it was a hipster mecca with an exploding vegetarian and vegan scene way back and its green credentials and continued commitment to sustainability made us even more excited to get to see the city for ourselves.
Being vegetarian in Mexico City was a breeze. Mexico City is one of the most vegetarian-friendly cities in Mexico. We found travelling vegan in Mexico quite challenging, but Mexico City was a breath of fresh air when it came to finding good vegan and vegetarian food options.
The thing we did struggle with in Mexico City was finding ‘local’ and ‘authentic’ style Mexican food. The local cuisine is notoriously meaty, which made it difficult when hunting for vegetarian-friendly options more generally. What with Mexico City being metropolitan, most of the food that was vegetarian in Mexico City was also foreign cuisine.
What is great about Mexico City is the burgeoning vegan food scene and the amount of vegetarian options already available in the city. The best thing to do as a vegetarian in Mexico City is to get out there, explore and eat some more!
