San Francisco

We had high hopes for food in San Francisco and weren't dissapointed!

We were lucky to have prebooked a table at Millenium restaurant at the Hotel California.
The menu was amazing, with a huge choice of vegan food. We really were spoilt for choice!
Even my boyfriend's omni brother really enjoyed his meal, despite being somewhat confused by the menu! Unfortunately  we've heard on the grapevine that the restaurant might be closing due to new management taking over the hotel. However they are looking to relocate, as it would be a tragedy to lose such a gem!

The Plant Cafe was a lucky find one morning while we were strolling along the piers of San Fransisco. Although not a 100% veggie place, the choice for vegans was brilliant. They also did some amazing juices.
We enjoyed our scrambled pest tofu breakfast so much that we returned the next day for a vegan wasabi burger for lunch.

Unfortunately we didn't get chance to try Gracias Madre, a vegan mexican restaurant, as we ran out of days, but it's on our list for next time!!!

Maui - Hawaii

I really should remember to update this page more often!

We had a fantastic holiday in Maui, followed by a weekend in Sanfrancisco, and managed to find some great places to eat!



Whilst in Maui, we visited Lahaina.We were actually looking for Maui Tacos as we'd heard that it had good vegan options. However when we eventually found it, we dscovered that it was more of a fast food type place, and not somewhere we'd choose to eat an evening meal.

We decided to have a look in Mick Fleetwoods, where a very helpful server took us through the menu and explained what was already vegan and what could be veganised.
We settled for the butternut squash with Quinoa, which was very tasty. There was also a vegan curry on option.
This is a lovely restaurant with great service and a lovely ambience. You can even order a Harley with your food!!!

Fleetwoods

Our next find on Maui was Choice. This is a health bar with plenty of fresh juices and raw foods. More of a daytime cafe than an evening restaurant, and a bit off the beaten track, but well worth a visit.
Our raw vegan pizza was delicious!

Choice

If you visit Whalers Village, then Leilanis is well worth a visit. It's a beachside grill with very friendly waiters.
We really enjoyed our Superfood vegan burger and salad, washed down with a few Mai Tais!!!
