Vrijmoed Purs Menu ★ 4.9
The Purs vegetarian tasting menu at two-Michelin-star Vrijmoed: seven courses built exclusively around single seasonal vegetables at the highest level.
Vegetarian dining has the longest tradition of any non-meat cuisine - the Hindu vegetarian heritage of India is at least 3,000 years old; Buddhist shojin ryori in Japan and zhai cai in China are 1,500-year traditions; the modern Western vegetarian movement dates to 19th-century health reformers. Today vegetarian cooking sits between the strict-vegan and full-omnivore positions: dairy and eggs are in, meat and fish are out.

The cities where vegetarian cooking goes deepest are India (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai - thali culture, dosa-uttapam traditions, Jain cuisine where even root vegetables are excluded), Israel (Tel Aviv runs a parallel Sabbath-friendly veg scene), London (Mildreds opened 1988, the Indian veg scene in Wembley and Tooting), Berlin and Portland (modern Western veg). For travelers: most cities have stronger vegetarian options than vegan, since lacto-ovo opens the door to most pasta, pizza, omelette, dosa, and dim-sum-style cooking.

How to eat vegetarian while travelling
Vegetarian vs vegan - the practical difference
Vegetarian includes dairy (cheese, milk, butter, cream) and eggs; vegan excludes both. This unlocks dramatically more cooking: classical Italian (parmesan, mozzarella), French (butter sauces, custard), Indian (paneer, ghee, yogurt), Middle Eastern (labneh, feta), all dim sum with egg, all Japanese with dashi. Most omnivore kitchens have stronger vegetarian than vegan menus because dairy and eggs are already in the pantry.
Cities with the deepest vegetarian dining
Indian cities lead globally - Ahmedabad (Jain and Gujarati thali), Bengaluru (South Indian dosa-uttapam, Andhra meals), Mumbai (Bombay vegetarian street food), Pune, Jaipur (Rajasthani thali). Outside India: London (Mildreds, the Indian veg corridor in Wembley/Tooting/East Ham), Tel Aviv (Sabich, falafel, shakshuka anchor the daytime scene), Berlin (Kopps, Daluma), Lyon (the bouchon tradition has strong vegetarian classics like quenelles). Bangkok's Indian community runs serious South Indian vegetarian. Tokyo has shojin ryori - Buddhist temple cuisine, the most refined Asian vegetarian tradition.
What to order at a strong vegetarian kitchen
At Indian vegetarian: thali (the multi-component combo plate), dosa, idli-vada, paneer dishes, dal makhani, biryani (vegetable version). At Italian: cacio e pepe, eggplant parmigiana, pasta with brown butter and sage, risotto. At Middle Eastern: sabich, shakshuka, mezze plates with hummus and baba ghanoush. At French: quenelles de brochet (if pescetarian) OR the omelette program at a serious bistro. At Japanese: shojin ryori tasting menus, vegetable tempura, tofu specialties at a tofu-ya.
Religious + cultural vegetarian traditions
Jain (excludes meat, eggs, AND root vegetables - onion, garlic, potato). Hindu (most observant Hindus are vegetarian; some include dairy as 'milk products of cows are sacred'). Buddhist (Mahayana tradition excludes meat and the 'five pungent' - garlic, onion, leek, chive, shallot). Seventh-day Adventist (Christian denomination with strong vegetarian and vegan traditions in the US). Each tradition has dishes the others don't - Jain Indian and Mahayana Buddhist cuisines are particularly distinct.
Frequently asked: vegetarian
What's pescetarian?
A vegetarian variant that includes fish and shellfish. Pescetarian and vegetarian menus overlap significantly; pescetarian-friendly menus also include sushi, oysters, ceviche, and most pasta with seafood.
Why is Indian vegetarian cooking so deep?
Hindu and Jain religious traditions plus 3,000 years of vegetarian recipe development. India is the country with the highest vegetarian population by absolute count (300+ million). Every major Indian region has a fully developed vegetarian cuisine, from Gujarati thali to South Indian dosa-uttapam to North Indian dal-paneer.
Can I eat vegetarian at most fine-dining tasting menus?
Yes - almost every modern fine-dining kitchen offers a parallel vegetarian tasting menu, usually as deep as the omnivore version. Flag dietary at booking. Examples: Eleven Madison Park (fully plant-based since 2021), Noma seasonal veg menu, Pujol, Quintonil, Sukiyabashi Jiro (vegetable-and-rice course on request).
Is paneer vegetarian?
Yes. Paneer is fresh Indian cheese, made by curdling milk with lemon juice or vinegar. It's lacto-vegetarian (contains dairy, no meat or rennet).
