...then the new vegetarian tasting menus are sure to delight
Organic is cool, seasonal is de rigueur, but vegetarian gourmands are still left with a raw deal when it comes to fine dining.
This is set to change as some of the world’s finest restaurants have finally introduced veggie tasting menus – the seven-course meals that, up to now, have been strictly for meat-lovers. The best include Fleur de Lys in San Francisco (+1 415 673 7779,

), Buerehiesel in Strasbourg (+33 (0) 38 845 5665,
buerehiesel.fr
), and the newly revamped Greenhouse in London’s Mayfair (+44 (0)20 7499 3331,

And it’s not just vegetarians who are being catered for. Vegans can indulge at Trotter’s in
Chicago
(+1 773 248 6228,

), and the hip new all-raw restaurant, Saf in London’s Shoreditch (+44 (0)20 7613 0007).
Even the Spanish, are becoming veggie friendly with Valencia’s new La Lluna (+34 963 922 146,
