Cafe Sabroson, Salzburg Austria

Location: Linzer Gasse 27, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


Our last day in Salzburg we needed someplace to eat dinner at. A lot of places were closed for winter break and so we decided to try out Cafe Sabroson for some pasta. We just got the spaghetti with a garlic, hot pepper, olive oil seasoning. It was good, but just like I make at home, or really mine might be better and not spicy at all. It was just alright, but there wasn't much else to choose from so it worked.

Overall - Cafe Sabroson was not the best. The pasta was alright, but I can make it myself at home for less.

Spicy Spices, Salzburg Austria

Location: Wolf-Dietrich-Straße 1, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


Whole walking around Salzburg we came across Spicy Spices and decided to check it out. We ordered a plate of the day with soup and a veggie patty plate. The soup was lentil with carrots and a slight Indian spiced, though it didn't have a lot of flavor. It was alright, not bad but not amazing either.



The plate of the day was a tofu curry (on the left) which was just alright. Kind of watery and not a lot of flavor. It was served with lentils which were seasoned much better and were quite tasty and a little spicy, tons of rice, and a potato dish which was a lot like scalloped potatoes - delicious and slightly sweet.



The veggie patties were also served with the tofu curry, lentils and potatoes. The patties themselves were delicious - lots of veggies (carrots, peas, potatoes) and nicely spiced.

Overall - We would stop by again next time we are in Salzburg. Some of the dishes were just okay, but some were really tasty so...it is not a must go place, but it was good.

My Indigo, Salzburg Austria

Location: Rudolfskai 8, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


After walking around all day we were quite hungry when we stopped by My Indigo for some dinner. I was excited to try the food since their website states how fresh and healthy it is. Everything is pre-made and just put in a bowl when you order. We tried the tofu and seitan curry. This was...not good. It just tasted like mushroom gravy, but not good mushroom gravy. The seitan was spongy and I didn't like it. Not good. Also there is a ton of rice in the bowl and barely any curry, so you end up eating a bowl of rice with a little bit of flavoring.



We also tried the sweet potato and bamboo curry. This one was much better than the first, but still not great. It was sweeter and had more flavor, but again was almost all rice. Also disappointing.

Overall - Skip My Indigo if you are in Salzburg. I wouldn't go back again as the food was just not good.

Nagano, Salzburg Austria

Location: Getreidegasse 24, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


We had a late breakfast in Salzburg one day, but after walking around for a bit were slightly hungry but it was too early for dinner. We walked by Nagano and decided to stop for a small meal to hold us over until dinner time. We got some edamame which I always love. This was tasty as always. I don't think you can make it not good. All you have to do is steam it, add some salt or other seasonings and yum!



We also tried the tofu steak with rice. Soft tofu with a soy sauce glaze and steamed cabbage, carrots, zucchini and cauliflower. This was really tasty as well, very light and healthy feeling which is nice. Sometimes when we travel we eat a lot of junk so a nice healthy snack is always nice.

Overall - Definitely check out Nagano if you are in Salzburg. They have some tasty healthy vegan options.

Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant, Salzburg Austria

Location: Bayerhamerstraße 13, 5020 Salzburg, Austria



Our first night in Salzburg we decided to try Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant. We started with the vegetable samosas - peas, potatoes, seeds served with three dips - a creamy one that is not vegan, a mango one that I am allergic to so I didn't try it, and a tamarind sauce which was delicious. The samosas was spiced well, though different from any that I had had before. Super tasty.



Next we tried the Sabzee Jhaldrezi - zucchini, peppers, onion, and tomatoes with North Indian spices. This was spiced well and a little hot, the vegetables were cooked well and it was a giant plate of food. Very good.



And finally we tried the chana masala - chickpeas with tomatoes and curry sauce. This was also giant plate of food. It was spiced well and a little cinnamony and just really really good. So much food, but so good.

Overall - I really enjoyed Taj Mahal. The servings were huge, the spices were not the usual flavors, but very tasty. I definitely would go back again.

Coco's Asian, Vienna Austria

Location: Europaplatz 2, 1150 Vienna, Austria


We had a mid-day train out of Vienna on our last visit so we decided to grab some lunch at the Westbahnhoff to make sure we had enough time to eat and get on the train. When looking at the options we found Coco's Asian with two items listed as vegan. The first was a peanut vegetables served with white rice. I was kind of iffy when I saw it as it looked...well just not that good. It was however delicious! Kind of sweet which I liked, though Raymond did not, and very creamy. I would definitely go back for this again.



The second dish was tofu champaion - tofu and veggies in a soy sauce of some type. This was also tasty, but not as good as the peanut sauce. The tofu was kind of spongy and soaked up the soy sauce and it made it really salty - too salty for me, though Raymond enjoyed it.

Overall - If you are taking the train out of Vienna and need some food check out Coco's Asian. The food is pretty tasty with vegan options clearly marked.

Der Eisbarliner, Berlin Germany

Location: Gärtnerstraße 11, 10245 Berlin, Germany

Whenever we go near Der Eisbarliner we stop in to see what the flavors are. They had Stracciatella which we had never heard of before so we had to try it. The lady said it was like whipped cream with chocolate pieces. Kind of like chocolate chip, but the chocolate is lighter and flakier. Pretty tasty, though not like whipped cream. I think Raymond really enjoyed it.

Overall - Der Eisbarliner is amazing. Definitely some of the best ice cream in Berlin. If you are in the area definitely stop by.
