As always, I’ve been spoiled for good food in 2025! Across Switzerland, Tokyo, Kyoto, London, and Berlin, I’ve enjoyed some sensational dishes. And the Prague scene is pulling its weight too with delicious options. So here are this year’s greatest hits, in no particular order.

Bakery Bakery, Zürich, Basel, Bern

The cheese tarts at various branches of Bakery Bakery are truly the stuff of dreams. They fuelled us on our week of football in Switzerland, along with numerous other delicious items from this all vegan bakery. Read more here.

Eaternia, Prague

This casual canteen has become one of our favourite spots in Prague, with it’s incredible selection of cakes and exciting specials. A special mention goes to their ambitious St Martin’s Day goose. Read the full review here.

Gives a Fork, Geneva

Our favourite restaurant in Geneva was this vegetarian spot with exciting vegan options. The dishes were creative and flavoursome – a bright light in an otherwise somewhat underwhelming vegan scene. More here.

Vegan Sushi Tokyo, Tokyo

My time in Tokyo usually focuses on ramen, but it’s always fun to try something different and the sushi plate at this new-ish restaurant was quite the treat. Each piece is different, and the tuna was particularly good. Read the full report here.

Gauthier Soho, London

We like to splurge on a trip to Gauthier Soho whenever we visit London for some all-vegan fine dining. As always, the food was amazing this time. Some of the highlights were the brioche with whipped feta, potato dauphinois with a savoury sauce, blue cheese tartlet, and cherry and beetroot dessert. What a treat!

Brammibals, Berlin

The best vegan donuts in the world? Quite possibly! From the regular menu to the monthly specials, everything looks and tastes fantastic, and the dough is pillowy soft. Read more here.

The Tavern, Prague

My usual Friday night takeaway is burger and chips from the best spot in Prague, The Tavern. It’s not fully vegan, but has really great vegan options, including the magic mushroom truffle and Swiss burger which is my absolute favourite. The fries are nicely seasoned too, and they recently added a vegan cake to the menu.

Vegan and Gluten Free Osaka, Osaka

This spot didn’t get its own post in 2025 as we’d already visited in 2024 (mentioned here) – but we were fonder of it this year than last and it earned a spot on this list. It serves veganised traditional Japanese dishes including okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and kushikatsu. Everything was delicious and really special.

Vegan Ramen Uzu Kyoto, Kyoto

I wasn’t going to include this place because it would be two years in a row in the top ten – but fair is fair. I love the art, but it’s not just style over substance – the dishes are delicious as well. Read the full report here.

Okja, London

It’s been an exciting year for pastries! This fully vegan bakery in London was an absolute delight, and the hot chocolate was not too shabby either. Full review here.

I’m excited to discover what awaits in 2026! Thanks for reading along!
