Rick Steves' Must-Know Advice For Vegetarians Before Dining In Europe - Tasting Table
"Some European-bound vacationers may struggle with the ability to express their dietary restrictions or preferences, specifically vegetarians, as well as having those preferences be understood by the server or restaurant. It's imperative to be very clear that you want absolutely no meat products in any of your food whatsoever. Steves offers key phrases on his blog post in a few popular European languages to learn so you can clearly communicate your dietary restrictions."
"Steves recommends starting the day off in a big way with a hearty, filling breakfast. Many restaurants or hotels will offer a plethora of options appropriate for vegetarians, like eggs, pastries, yogurt, oats, veggies, and cheese, so load up on protein and some carbohydrates to fuel you for the day ahead. Bringing snacks with you is also a great way to stave off starvation while you seek out something appropriate for you to eat."
Learn and use key phrases in local languages to state clearly that no meat products are acceptable. Many European countries, including Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Austria, are familiar with vegetarianism and other dietary restrictions. Strictly vegetarian entrees may be limited, but starters, salads, and side dishes often lack meat or can have meat omitted. Begin the day with a hearty breakfast featuring eggs, pastries, yogurt, oats, vegetables, and cheese to provide protein and carbohydrates. Carry compact protein snacks like bars or nuts to avoid hunger between meals. Picnics provide a flexible way to control ingredients and ensure vegetarian meals when weather permits.
