Anyway after some more strolling I ended up in Brera, a beautiful part of the city, lots of boutiques and restaurants, lovely streets with yellow buildings etc. I decided that I wasn't in any rush so I just carried on walking, ending up at Lima and Loretto, there was another Market so I had a look but of course there wasn't anything different for sale! I started to get hungry so I decided to get back on the tube and come home but stop off at Wagner on the way back because I remembered one of my students telling me about a vegan restaurant that she goes to and I'm always intrigued by different food and how people substitute types of food if they follow a certain diet etc.
I found Al Grande Cerchio pretty easily, they did look at me a bit strange when I asked for a table for one, but I'm pretty used to that now!! There was such a wide variety on the menu I was amazed, Breads, salads, pizzas and pasta and a good range of sweets too! (I didn't have a sweet, next time I will!)
I ordered a Margherita Pizza (because I'm in Italy of course) and they gave me a cup of jasmine tea, complimentary, Yum! It was absolutely delicious. Of course you can tell the different between vegan cheese and dairy cheese and the pizza base was a bit more stodgy but thin so it was really lovely. I ate the whole thing!!
When I went inside to pay I noticed that there was a lot of information about the vegan lifestyle and a book full of recipes! i'll definitely be going back and next time i'll have something sweet too. I was really surprised about the cost, it was the same price as you would pay for non vegan food in a restaurant and this to me is brilliant!!
