For lunch on our first day we had two hours near the Trevi Fountain to explore and get food. Definitely the best crepes I’ve ever had!Īfter leaving Paris we set out for Rome. I had a goat cheese, honey, and walnut galette and a dark chocolate crepe. We received hard cider, a galette (savory crepe made with buckwheat), and a crepe (dessert) for less than 10 euro. A small group of us went to a creperie with the Seal on their door and had the most wonderful experience. Our tour director taught us how to find authentic crepes and galettes by looking for the Seal of Brittany on restaurant menus. We spent our second day in the Latin Quarter, which is home to dozens of small French bistros serving fondue, macaroons, coq au vin, and more. Of course, you can’t visit Paris without eating a crepe. Super yummy! If you are vegan or do not like something in particular, be sure to let your tour director know early so restaurants can prepare something else for you ahead of time. Most of my meals in Europe included cheese with vegetables, like eggplant or zucchini. Eggplant is extremely popular in Europe and a common dish for vegetarians. I had roasted eggplant with cheese and marinara sauce. Based on their reviews, my dish was equally delicious. The main dish for everyone was Duck Confit (vegetarians excluded, of course). Our first night in Paris, we had an included dinner at a restaurant near Notre Dame Cathedral. They could! It was great for a cold, wintery night. They had a vegetarian option, but I was more excited about their spicy option, so I asked the waitress if she could make the spicy option vegetarian. A small group of us decided to go to an authentic ramen restaurant. It was full of fresh veggies, tofu, and nuts.ĭuring our last night in London, dinner was on our own. There were dozens of food stands, and almost all of them had vegetarian options. Lunch was on our own, so I decided on vegetarian pad thai from one of the stands. Borough Market is one of the largest and oldest markets in London. On day two in London, our group visited Borough Market for lunch. It had a nice kick to it that complemented the fish well. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new-I loved tartar sauce with this dish. It’s hard to find overseas, so don’t expect to find it at European restaurants. The only thing missing was ketchup for the “chips.” I always seem to forget this when I’m traveling, but ketchup is an American condiment. The fish was delicious! Light, crispy, and juicy. Normally, I don’t eat fish, but this is London’s signature dish, so I decided to give it a try. The first dinner we had in London was an included meal: fish and chips. Here is a glimpse of my food diary from London, Paris, and Rome. If your meal isn’t sufficient or you aren’t happy with it, ask your tour director or the waitstaff for other options. Write it down and keep the note in your wallet for reference so that you can show it to your waiters at restaurants. Look up how to say vegetarian (or your dietary need) if you’re traveling to a non-English speaking country.Know what the local cuisine is and what your food options are going to be. I like to bring protein packed snacks like peanut butter, nuts, and granola bars when I travel. ![]() While it’s easy to find vegetarian and vegan food abroad, it is sometimes difficult to get all of the nutrients and protein you need. But, before I share them with you, I wanted to go over three travel tips I’ve picked up as someone with a special diet: I just returned from a culinary program to London, Paris, and Rome, and I was very happy with my meals. However, EF Study Abroad does an excellent job making sure travelers with dietary restrictions are taken care of, and there are also plenty of opportunities to get lunch or dinner on your own. When traveling, I have less control over those factors. I’m used to cooking for myself, and I know how to maintain a balanced diet. As a vegetarian, I get nervous about traveling when meals are included as part of the package.
