REVIEW

Truly a pizza that any vegan has to try in London.

The restaurant is one of those hidden gems. It is not right on the street, it is quite small, a couple of tall tables and a bar. For that reason, they highly encourage booking in advance. However, their pizza is a delight! We received a full presentation on their cooking methods and their pizza bases: spirulina, burnt wheat, hemp, multi-grain,

We received a full presentation on their cooking methods and their pizza bases: spirulina, burnt wheat, hemp, multi-grain, kamut and turmeric. They only use the highest wholemeal flour, which makes the pizza very rich and nutritious. The vegan cheeses are Violife and other homemade versions that make it melty and stringy.

We tried their award winning "Vegan Temptations" and we weren't disappointed. Their "Take It Vegan Cheesy" also rose up to a vegan's expectations of a good old cheese. This place receives my 5 stars!

Elmira, an oasis for Viennese vegans

ClaudiaHJune 12, 2017July 16, 2017Leave a comment

It’s Monday morning and my amazing weekend in Vienna is about to be over. I woke up with this feeling that, before I left, I needed to give my #1 favorite European city a similar chance to prove me veganism is omnipresent. A couple of days ago I posted this picture with a small salad in front of me, while my friends were having huge pork ribs. But hold your breath…

Just 15 mins away from my hotel, I found a gem. Healthy, plant-based eating is easily doable in Vienna. It’s called Elmira.

The Elmira Cafe, Vienna, Austria

I was welcomed by lots of smiles and while they were prepping my acai bowl, I took the liberty to look around. Their store is quite big and airy, which is basically a breeze compared to the ones in London.

They have a nice dried nuts, seeds and beans rack of drawers. They produce and source everything themselves and some of the trail mixes are also made in-house. They also said they source to bigger stores, even in UK, like Organic Planet. You can also find some of their products in stores like https://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk. Among some of their most popular products were the exotic fruits like Incan berries, dried mangos, and jackfruits.

And… they even have their own products, own brand, to sell in-store.

The food

I had this huge acai bowl with goji berries. It was one one of the best things I’ve had for breakfast in a while. They tried different recipes for this smoothie bowl and they think they are going to stick with this one. I have to say that the coconut syrup they put on top of your bananas was heavenly.

They also had all these kinds of cold-brewed coffees and amazing truffles covered with Peruvian chocolate.

And to top it all up, they were offering a 10% discount to all of their prices.

Eventually, I couldn’t just walk away empty-handed and I scooped some of their trail mixes. My enthusiasm did not remain unnoticed and Josef, their sales manager along with Elmira, their managing director, took real great care of me. I walked away with their most recommended products:

Last…

If you ever visit Vienna, don’t assume it’s all sausage and pretzels! This city has so much to offer in terms of culinary options. And if you can have a plant-based dish with a touch of Viennese culture, why not give it a go? You might be surprised!

Good day and until next time!
