The Ruhr Region Vegan Restaurant Guide
Get green!
Vegan is a new and vibrant cuisine with flavors that will zap your taste buds.
Honestly? There may be some of you who have already fully embraced the vegan trend that has recently hit NRW, but there are likely a few of you questioning me on why on earth you would want to read about all the vegan restaurants around the Ruhr Region.
Truth? Whether you’re on board with this urban trend or not, eating vegan is a great way to slim down, gain energy, support animals, save the planet and simply just feel great.
So, if you’re excited about this new Ruhr Region Restaurant Guide, the pleasure was all mine. If you’re still questioning this new vegan trend, well… may I suggest you give it a try?
Vegan food isn’t the same as it once was - like plain couscous on a bowl of dry lettuce - it’s a new and vibrant cuisine with flavors that will zap your taste buds.
Guten Appetit!
