VeganMoFo 2017: La Lanterna, Verona

After a few nights in Milan (one of my least favourite cities), we hopped on a train to Verona (one of my favourites).  I absolutely love Verona.  I’d previously taken a couple of day trips there, so it was nice … Continue reading

VeganMoFo2017: Radicetonda, Milan

Time for our last stop in Milan!  I don’t know why, but this all-vegan place left me a bit cold. Radicetonda was a last minute addition to our itinerary because it was tolerably close to the central station, but the … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: La Passerella, Varenna

I’ve already mentioned how much I love Varenna, and that love was cemented by this vegan-friendly gelateria.  They had a “vegan gelato” sign at the door and their vegan flavours were clearly marked in the display case.  I finally got … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: Caffe Varenna, Varenna

Last week I mentioned spending two months working in Milan and hating every second.  After that, I spent ten months working in nearby Lecco, a little town on Lake Como, and this time I loved it!  My non-Italian friends and … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: Flower Burger, Milan

We had a slightly strange culinary experience in Milan, in the sense that we ate sushi and burgers, and the only Italian food we ate was gelato.  I don’t remember being particularly dazzled by the vegan options on Happy Cow, … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: Amorino, Milan

More gelato!  Amorino is actually an international chain and we even have it in Prague – but everything’s more exciting when you’re on holiday!  This branch is in Brera, which is a nice but very touristy area of Milan.  (Later … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: Zushi, Milan

UPDATE: this restaurant has closed After our 24 hour stay in the Cinque Terre, we made our way back up to Milan for a couple of days.  Milan is not my favourite city, largely due to a terrible job I … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: Lunch Box, Vernazza

Usually I choose my holiday destinations based on vegan options, so it seems strange that I even went to the Cinque Terre, nevermind that I enjoyed it so much!  But it’s true: I’m already dreaming of going back one day … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2017: Vegan Gelato in the Cinque Terre

I feel like it’s the law that you have to have an ice cream when you’re by the sea. And maybe generally when you’re on a summer holiday?  While in Italy, Dr HH and I decided to treat ourselves to … Continue reading
