Sometimes, when I tell my friends about the next trip I\u2019m planning as a vegetarian, they say, \u201cWhat are you going to eat?\u201d Well, I\u2019m going to devour the many tasty veg dishes I stumble across. Although\u00a0there are a lot of countries that revolve around meat and fish, some countries are vegetarian powerhouses that seem made for the vegetarian traveler.<\/span><\/p>\n

These countries ensure\u00a0that your vegetarian diet doesn’t have to be a challenge or an obstacle to a good trip. So long as you know a little about the local food scene and culinary culture\u00a0of where you\u2019re visiting, you’ll feel\u00a0right at home. How to feel that way? Check out this\u00a0list of seven countries we recommend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

India<\/h2>\n

What other country could top this list? While it\u2019s commonly known that Hindus don\u2019t eat beef, around 400 million Indians maintain a vegetarian diet, which means there\u2019s A LOT of options. In fact, some veg-dominated menus in India<\/strong><\/a> have a \u2018non-veg\u2019 section, rather than a veg section like in meat-heavy countries. Many of these spicy, legume-based, vegetarian dishes have been perfected over hundreds and thousands of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"TajAn astounding variety of vegetarian curries stretch from coast to coast, tip to tip in India. Each region has famed dishes. India isn\u2019t all about curries either: there are biriyanis, dosas, stuffed paratha, and sambar. And the foods that fit perfectly in your hands: samosas, pakoras, kati rolls, aloo tikki, onion bhaji, vada, pani puri, and all sorts of different chaats, all exploding with flavor. If there\u2019s thing that comes to mind when I think of Indian cuisine, it\u2019s diversity. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An easy way to sample a variety of dishes at the same time is to order a \u2018thali\u2019, a set lunch. Some thalis have a few different items, while some will have 20! Expect rice, naan (or a similar bread), curd (to take off some of the heat), daal (the lentil staple), two or three or more veg masalas (curry-like dishes), pickle, and a dessert (such as the gulab jamon, a syrupy dough ball).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dosa

Dosa, aka an Indian pancake<\/p><\/div>\n

Tip: Much of India\u2019s best food is found on the street. I often ate street food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and for all the snacks in between. Take precautions when eating street food, but don\u2019t miss it because it\u2019s life-changing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: Explore markets, try cooking classes and more on this trip dedicated to Indian food<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vietnam<\/h2>\n

Unless you\u2019re in rural areas, it\u2019s no sweat finding traditional, vegetarian food in Vietnam<\/strong><\/a>. Ubiquitous, mind-bogglingly tasty, the Vietnamese are doing it really, really right. Due to religious principles and dietary restrictions, mainly for Buddhists, there are a ton of vegetarian joints found throughout the country. The word \u2018chay\u2019 means vegetarian, so keep a look out for it on menus and signs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"vietnam_roadside-snacks\"The quintessential dish to try in Vietnam is pho. It\u2019s typically made with meat, but you shouldn\u2019t have a problem finding a vegetarian one. That\u2019s <\/span>pho<\/span><\/i> sure. However, you may want to inquire about the broth, because sometimes that\u2019s not considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap your lips around as many bahn mi as you can get. The French baguette, filled with egg (or tofu), cheese, cilantro, chili, cucumber and pickled carrot is the bomb. If you like tofu, you\u2019re in luck. If you don\u2019t, you probably will after spending time in Vietnam. The most tofu, and the best tofu, I\u2019ve eaten was here. Tofu soups, sandwiches, chili tofu, fried tofu, tofu any way you want it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hoi

Spices in Hoi An<\/p><\/div>\n

Tip: Go to an all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet. I found them throughout Vietnam, and I always left full, happy, and licking my lips. Expect a variety of tofu dishes, morning glory, soup, rice, and an assortment of vegetable dishes. Also: use hot sauce. All the time. Each restaurant will likely have their own chili paste, as well as bottles of chili sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: Enjoy one of the world’s freshest cuisines on this 12-day food tour of Vietnam<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel<\/h2>\n

Being a vegetarian in Israel<\/a><\/strong> is a breeze, especially if you love dips, spreads, and salads. Israeli cuisine is influenced by Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Levantine ingredients and flavors, among others, which has created a rich and diverse food culture. Some foodies claim Tel Aviv to be the best city in the world for vegetarians. Israel produces a significant percentage of its own food, which means there\u2019s an abundance of fresh, local fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jerusalem

Jerusalem<\/p><\/div>\n

A great place to start: hummus. This delicious anytime-anywhere dip is ubiquitous throughout the country, accompanying many dishes, or served along with other similarly appetizing spreads. Don\u2019t overlook other popular dips, such as eggplant-based baba ganoush. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then there’s falafel, probably the other most widely-known Israeli dish. Ground-up chick peas and spices, made into bite-sized balls and fried. Put them in a wrap with some other goodies, and you\u2019ll never look back.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hummus

Hummus<\/p><\/div>\n

Tip: Start your day on a good note by having shakshuka. This dish of poached eggs in a tomato sauce with onions, peppers, chili and a variety of spices is a national favorite. Late sleeper? No worries, this dish is perfect for lunch or dinner, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: Discover the delicious dishes of Israel and the Palestinian Territories on this 10-day trip.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italy<\/h2>\n

Pizzas, pasta, lasagne, soups, salads, antipasti, risottos (the list could go on and on), Italy<\/strong><\/a> is known worldwide for its cuisine, much of which is vegetarian. Every region has its own distinct, traditional dishes which have been crafted over millennia. Many of these dishes aren\u2019t great for vegans, but if you love cheese and eggs, you\u2019re in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tuscany

Tuscany<\/p><\/div>\n

There\u2019s no easy way to navigate Italy\u2019s vast, heavenly food culture, but the good thing is you can basically start anywhere and continue on forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider starting off with the timeless classic, caprese salad \u2013\u00a0tomato, real mozzarella, basil, salt, olive oil. So simple, yet so unimaginably delectable. Next, seek out an authentic Italian pizza, not what you\u2019re used to having at 3 am on \u2018pizza corner\u2019. If you\u2019re having trouble, just have a look around to see what locals are eating and remember, \u201cWhen in Rome, do as the Romans do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PizzaTip: Head to Turin. In 2016, Turin\u2019s mayor announced plans to turn the city into Italy\u2019s first vegetarian city. Rejoice!<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: Indulge in the tasty cuisine of South Italy on this 7-day food tour<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ethiopia<\/h2>\n

For two days each week, Wednesday and Friday, all Christians and Muslims in Ethiopia<\/strong><\/a> stick to a vegetarian diet, which they refer to as fasting. It\u2019s still easy to find vegetarian fare outside of those days, however.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Addis

Church in Addis Ababa<\/p><\/div>\n

The best place and pretty much only place to start your vegetarian food journey is with \u2018injera\u2019. The national dish, injera is a unique, spongy, sour-tasting flatbread made from teff flour, which most meals are served atop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethiopian vegetarian cuisine mostly consists of stews made from lentils, or vegetables and spices. One of the most popular dishes is shiro – pureed chickpeas in berbere spice. Berbere is a distinct, spicy, bright red blend of spices. Cabbage, carrots, greens, and lentils are often used to create other curry-like stews and salads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Injera

Injera<\/p><\/div>\n

Tip: The best way choosing a meal, especially if you\u2019re not sure what you want or if you want a bit of everything, is to order the bayenetu, a vegan platter. Served atop of teff, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: Explore the mountains, rivers, castles and islands of Ethiopia on this 13-day trip<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka<\/h2>\n

Similar to India, Sri Lanka<\/strong><\/a> has a rich food history that caters to vegetarianism. I ate like a king, every meal, every day in Sri Lanka. The main feature of Sri Lankan cuisine is \u2018rice and curry\u2019 \u2013\u00a0yes, just as it sounds. Some of the \u2018curries\u2019 are more like salads. Every restaurant differs in how many curries are offered, which are served with a heaping pile of rice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SriDishes are usually accompanied by sambol, a spicy chili-based paste, as well as pol sambol, a shredded coconut, lime and chili dish – pure brilliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kottu is another Sri Lankan staple. Kottu is chopped up pieces of roti, mixed with vegetables, eggs, and cheese which creates a spicy, starchy stir fry. You can hear the Kottu vendors chopping up the roti from blocks away, which adds to the experience. <\/span>And don\u2019t miss out on the numerous fresh juices from the abundant\u00a0local fruit. Sri Lankan food is spicy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kottu

Kottu<\/p><\/div>\n

Tip: \u2018Short eats\u2019 do not come up short. These street-side snacks, known as short eats, are great when you\u2019re on the go. Similar to samosas, shorts eats are often vegetable-filled pastries, or roti filled with spicy vegetables. And cheap!<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: Indulge in dreamy curries, deserts and more on this 12-day food tour of Sri Lanka<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romania<\/h2>\n

This is one country that probably doesn\u2019t come to mind when you\u2019re thinking of the best destinations for vegetarians. I thought that before I went, but I was wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bucharest

Bucharest, the capital<\/p><\/div>\n

While it wasn\u2019t always easy, and some restaurants had few options, I was mostly surprised at the wide variety of veg options in Romania<\/strong><\/a>. In my opinion, it\u2019s definitely the best choice for vegetarian food out of all the Balkan countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

SUBSCRIBE TO INTREPID’S NEWSLETTER FOR COMPETITIONS, GIVEAWAYS, TRAVEL INSPO & MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mamaliga is a Romanian polenta-like dish made from yellow maize flour and served with sour cream and\/or cheese. It\u2019s a staple and often served as a side. I love, love, love it. Varieties of bean soups are found throughout the country. Similarly, I had the best bean dip, spread atop toast, in Sibiu. Ciorba is a Romanian sour soup \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s often made with meat, but it\u2019s not uncommon to find a vegetarian version.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Costinesti

Bagels on the streets of Costinesti<\/p><\/div>\n

Lentil soups and blended spinach soups are also common. Make sure you try zacusa, which is a roasted eggplant and pepper dip. I was lucky to find some cafeteria-like restaurants. They had lots of veg options, such as different soups, polenta, bean dishes, stuffed zucchini and bell peppers, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tip: Travel during Lent and you\u2019ll have no problem finding tasty Romanian veg fare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trip recommendation: See the sights of Romania (Transylvania included) on this 10-day trip<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
