“Mezze for a crowd means lots and lots of small plates, and here’s where vegetarians can really dig in. Mezze, similar to the Tapas in Spanish cuisine, comprises small plates for community sharing, dipping a piece of bread into the variety of dips, and generally having fun with food. Variety of fresh salads, dips like hummus, moutabel and labneh, stuffed vine leaves (dolma), mixed pickled vegetables are some of the popular cold mezze.”
2) Netherlands

“…I decided to order a savoury Dutch pancake (Pannenkoken). They have lots of vegetarian options, both savoury and sweet. It is definitely a treat for the foodie since the pancakes made there are so delicious. It was perfection.”

“This might be a little unbelievable to some but, yes! Gyros can be made vegan. While at one of the many restaurants in Monastiraki square, I ordered a vegan gyro. The waiter looked at me a little funny but just order a grilled vegetable one without the sauce and lots of spices. It’s delish!”
4) Japan : The Golden Sesame Ramen

“I opted for the golden sesame ramen, which was divine. A combination of toasted sesame seeds, a hearty peanut and miso based broth, greens, faux soy meat crumbles, sautéed vegetables and perfectly cooked noodles – this had to have been one of my favourite meals of the whole trip.”

“#QuirkyItaly The sheer joy of getting lost and discovering something better while trying to find that little perfect place amid tiny streets in #Rome We landed at this #pizzeria that served amazing pizza but even more satisfying was this #dessert the #chocolate #calzone sprinkled with sugar and more chocolate. Chocolate oozed out of each bite full making it a messy but gratifying eat. At Dar Poeta in Trastevere #Rome “ ~ @foodalong

“I can’t even begin to describe how satisfying a hot pot meal is. While most people don’t want to go through the trouble of making your own meal I think it’s wonderful. A basic broth is given to you with every condiment and ingredient possible. You wait for it to boil, add in the ingredients … and eat while you cook! “
7) Turkey

“The traditional take on Turkish breakfast is quite interesting, and we were a bit flummoxed on the first day when we went to the dining room at the Ayasofya Hotel for breakfast. A selection of cold cuts, cheeses, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, breads, dry fruits and deep fried cheese pastries … All of this washed down with a deep dark cup of Turk Kahvesi – a coffee that’s brewed with the grounds still at the bottom.”So, no matter where you’re headed next, we’re sure that there will be delicious vegetarian dishes lying in wait, to surprise and cheer you up!
