Oh dear - you know the old joke about vegetarians in Texas... :que

Like everywhere that isnt Hindu, all traditional foods contain meat or fish Anna, sadly it's a fact of life.

There is a vegetarian restaurant just off the Strip called the Eurasian (I think), head north from the Oura beach, until you get to the first crossroads, turn left and you should see Liberto's Disco; go to the left of Liberto's and the restaurant is just a few metres down on the left hand side.

well i'll definitely give that place a go. Just want to be staying away from burgers!
nb - pretty much all cultural delicacies will have a few veggie ones among them, even if they're not the best known or popular. Especially from a greek perspective, people are always surprised im a veggie, but actually 'village' food as i's often referred to contains very little meat, although some fish, simply because it never used to be affordable to the average cypriot. people are often surprised to be presented with an entirely veggie meze with ease!
but I do know it's not easy unless you know where to look! I think I will be scouring all the menus at every meal time

Hi Anna.
Just to start your meal off in an authentic fashion, try Caldo Verde for your first course. It's a traditional Portuguese soup made from green cabbage and potato. There you go, gal, - only two more courses to go !! ;)

"Although some fish" - that's what I meant Anna, even "some fish", is fish, and if you don't eat fish, you can't eat it... QED.

Sagres is right Caldo Verde, Tomato and vegetable soups are all widely available, and normally delicious.

I will stop "carping" on now... :duh

Eurasia is a nice vegetarian restaurant situated where algarveaddick says, its next door to the Arieas do Pao (Bakery) on Rua Almeida Garrat more or less facing Mustangs & Tom & Jerries Bars.
