hey - do you know the website happycow.net ? it shows you restaurants in the nearby area that are either entirely vegan, vegetarian or at least vegetarian-friendly.

i'm going to montenegro tomorrow for the first time for a week and am also veggie. wish me luck!

Thanks so much for the response - and that too from a fellow veggie - that's awesome! Yes, been using happycow since 2019 but here is the deal- I use it as a backup in towns where I don't have any concrete recommendations or the restaurant timings don't align with my schedule. The app is a bit hit-or-miss in some cities/countries. In Barcelona, this app really came through for me. In Casablanca, not so much from a culinary perspective. Admittedly, the app led to me a restaurant at the Hyatt in Casablance. I literally NEVER find myself at places like this as a backpacker and while the meal I had there was amazing, I literally had all of one veggie option on that menu - but the fab live entertainment that night at the restaurant compensated for my lack of options. I will absolutely use happycow as a fall-back if I hit a wall in terms of specific recommendations. Since you are leaving before I do, would you mind if I DMd you in a few days to get your input on veggie options once you are there? Thanks once again!

yes, i agree with you that it can be a bit hit and miss - i think it's mostly fuelled by user reviews. it was great for my last trip in Spain (Granada, Malaga), but in some countries there just aren't that many options sadly. yes, feel free to DM me! it's possible i won't be in the same places you're planning to go to, but i'll happily let you know how things are.

For Spain, happycow is brilliant. For Granada, I had my list of restaurants all lined up before I left (I was far better prepared for that trip than I am for this one!) so I didn't need it for that specific city. I will definitely DM you. Thanks so much!
