IN PITTA
The vegan’s best friend – falafel
– is a stalwart of the Tel Aviv
lunchtime scene. Old favourites,
such as
Falafel Hakossem
(
1
Shlomo Hamelech, Tel Aviv
) make
up for a lack of modern style with
heaps of steaming fritters and
aubergine. Oh, and handouts of
free grub to those queuing up.
WITH A TWIST
If you’re one of those who talks
about ‘tasteless’ tofu, you’ll be
proved very wrong at
Naga Tofu
Bar
(
2 Abingdon Road, London W8,
nagarestaurants.co.uk
). Opened
over the summer, it cooks the
adaptable bean curd every which
way, including tofu chips and even
in the Tofu Twist cocktail.
FOR BREAKFAST
Once a small B&B, by popular
demand the
Gentle Gourmet
(24 Boulevard de la Bastille, Paris,
gentlegourmetcafe.com)
is now
open for lunch, dinner and, most
importantly, breakfast. You’ll
find vegans queuing up for
dairy-free bread, jam and even
‘butter’ to go with their coffee.
MEAT-LIKE
One for those who want the taste
of meat with none of the guilt,
Kopps Bar & Restaurant
(94
Linienstrasse, Berlin, kopps-berlin.
de)
brings wurst to the plates of
local vegans. Try the incredible
meat-free sausage with a glass of
homemade elderflower lemonade.
FINE DINING
A major draw for guests at the
Country House Montali
(
Via
Montali, 23 Tavernelle di Panicale,
montalionline.com
) near Perugia
(fly to Pisa), this all-vegetarian,
vegan-optional restaurant is
home to award-winning chef Maria
Lucia Simoes da Cunha and her
husband, Alberto, who conjure
up miracles with veggies and nuts,
such as the plate
above
. Meatless
has never tasted this exquisite.

CELEBRATE WORLD VEGAN MONTH
OK, so veganism isn’t everyone’s cup of milkless
tea, but it’s also not all sprouts and mung beans
either. Here are our favourite vegan hotspots

BE ONE IN A MILLION
Despite opening in June, the human-science
museum MuCEM (Museum of European and
Mediterranean Civilisations) in Marseille has
already welcomed over a million visitors. As
the city’s year as Capital of Culture comes to
a close, is this its most important legacy?
