Easton in Bristol is home to this small vegetarian restaurant, offering excellent, unusual vegetarian dishes. On a recent visit pistachio and shallot wontons and cashew cakes were among dishes that make one smile for days after. Cafe Maitreya only opens for dinner and bookings are recommended. Go for the three course menu, you'll enjoy every last morsel!

It may sometimes be a struggle to find delicious, inventive vegetarian food in Eastern Europe, but the cool and extremely popular Lehka Hlava ("Clear Head") in Prague's Old Town is a great exception - lots of interesting dishes and healthy juices. The atmosphere is great but remember to reserve in advance or you'll struggle to get in for dinner.

A great choice for Chinese vegetarian food - you'll see large families here and even some Buddhist monks and nuns, enjoying vegetarian versions of Cantonese classics, beautifully cooked vegetables and tofu, as well as gluten and mock meat dishes. The decor may be very plain, but this restaurant deserves its popularity among the local Chinese population.

The Naam has been around for decades, and is still a trustworthy place to go to for delicious vegetarian food. It's located in Kitsilano, on Vancouver's hip West 4th Avenue, and opens 24 hours a day so you can even go here for that midnight fix (and avoid the usual lunch and dinnertime queues.) Particular favourites are the reuben burgers and "dragon bowls" - loaded with noodles and vegetables - and you can't leave without trying the sesame fries with miso gravy.
