Vegan Temple Bar is a sweet little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and it was busy even early on a Monday evening — once we sampled the food, it was clear why. In addition to wine and beer, we had vegan chicken Alfredo and the BBQ chicken burger with fries and mayo on the …
Fabel Friet serves Dutch fries (“not French fries or Flemish fries, its website makes clear) — these fries are made from “top-quality Agria potatoes grown on Dutch soil, specially developed for frying.” We totally respect that. And while this is not a vegan joint, the fries themselves are naturally vegan and well worth it, and …
We were thrilled to find the vegan cafe Origin in the middle of the gorgeous village of Strasbourg, which has several other vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants — but we were in the mood for pastries and sweets, and this all-vegan patisserie did not disappoint. Origin does have yummy-looking veggie sandwiches, as well as a lovely …
While on a fabulous Caribbean voyage with Vegan Travel, we discovered this amazing little all-vegan gem: ALOR Vegan Cafe (thanks to our new friends who explored St. Lucia with us and found this lovely place via Happy Cow). There were so many options, too many to choose from — and we did have lunch waiting …
We have fallen in love with Siete foods and snacks (especially the queso potato chips!), and because Siete’s flavors are all so wonderful, we were excited to try these new puffs. Made of lentils, these are more like chips than puffs, and they are delicious. They have the great queso flavor of other Siete snacks, …
Sometimes it’s nice to have something besides cheese to serve at parties. Pâté is a popular alternative so I was intrigued to try Alexian. I must caveat this brief review to emphasize that before I was a vegan I would have probably turned up my nose at pâté. The word itself is difficult – I …
We were delighted to find these Bhuja snacks at a couple of our local groceries — we first bought a bag of the classic nut mix for a road trip … then loved them so much we went back for more and discovered the cracker mix and the crunchy seasoned peas. (They also have something …
I’ve heard mixed reviews about unMEAT’s vegan tuna, and was excited to try it. Vegan fish is not an easy one … but I was very pleasantly surprised by this fish-free tuna in sunflower oil. The flakes are light and have a tuna consistency and flavor … and I found it good enough to eat …
We previously enjoyed and reviewed Siete’s nacho tortilla chips, and were delighted to find these cheesy vegan potato chips locally. They are, in a word, spectacular. We love these even more than the tortilla chips; they’re very cheesy, and have all the crispy glory of a wonderful kettle-cooked potato chip. This is by far our …
It’s always fun to discover a new snack, and Popchips, in sour cream & onion flavor, is one of our favorites yet. However, there is a strange mystery about these snacks, as the bag we got at the grocery store is vegan … and when we went to the website, we learned that this flavor …
We read about Grown As* mac-and-cheese in an issue of VegNews, and since it got good reviews, we were eager to try it. Especially since the truffle style seemed very enticing. We’ve had a lot of good mac-and-cheeses before, but often there’s a chemical tang to them (check out some of our reviews here). But …
Long ago, we reviewed Unreal‘s crispy vegan peanut butter cups, but we had not yet tried these: dark chocolate almond butter and dark chocolate peanut butter. Like the other ones, these come in adorable little packets with one cup each (we hate the extra wrapping, but it’s probably to avoid melting and ending up with …
How fun it was to find this Save Da Sea vegan tuna salad in the store, just in time for summer picnics! Save Da Sea (which also makes vegan smoked salmon) has done wonders with this product. With jackfruit as its primary ingredient, the tuna is ready to eat, complete with vegan mayo and seasonings. …
How fun to discover Real Food From the Ground Up cauliflower sour-cream-and-onion potato chips, as well as cheddar stalks, all which are absolutely spectacular. These delicious cauliflower “potato” chips don’t have quite the same crispy crunch as a potato chip might, but the flavor is absolutely wonderful — the most authentic vegan sour-cream-and-onion flavor we’ve …
As fans of all things Violife, it was fun to see this new product in the store. This French Onion “dip” is quite thick, like cream cheese, and the onion flavor is very subtle. (You might try the Kite Hill or Trader Joe’s versions as well. I mean, one can’t possibly get enough vegan French …
