Eating vegan in Wroclaw: Where to get a good feed in Poland's hipster paradise
Wroclaw's charms grew on me slowly: I didn't expect to enjoy this dinky, hipster little city as much as I did. We spent a couple of days in the city in between visiting Krakow, and I wished I'd got to stay longer than I did.
As I have rhapsodised on many occasions, I love dumplings in all their forms, and since arriving in Poland, I'd been seeking my fill of pierogi. You can imagine how excited I was when I walked past a place called Pierogi Vegan. Sadly, I have to report that not all the pierogi at Pierogi Vegan are, as you might reasonably expect, vegan. Happilu, along with a lot of dairy-cheesy ones, there are a quite few vegan options, including traditional, Greek, Russian, and Oriental inspired, as well as dessert pierogis. They might not look like the most attractive little parcels, but they're filled with all sort of delights. It's an ideal stop to get your dumpling on in the pierogi's home country.
Baszta is a wee bit outside of the normal tourist area, but definitely worth the journey. It's an all-vegan Thai place, spread over several floors. There are a couple of outside tables for enjoying the evening sun too, which is always welcome. There were a few choices of main meal - think Thai curries in all the prettiest colours of the rainbow - alongside some starters and sides. We ploughed right into a red and yellow curry and loved them both. They were both huge and flavoursome, spicy without a lot of accompanying heat.

Oh how I envy thee, I haven't been overseas in years for a holiday :( And with BREXIT looming, travelling in EU nations will get harder. Good to see that there is a good offering of food, and you ate well indeed.
