April Showers Bring May Flowers

Since Christmas was so hectic, Mrs WLV's work didn't have time to have a Christmas party. So on April 1st we got together with her coworkers for drinks and a meal. 

We went to Jimmy Spices for dinner and we were able to find a few things at the buffet that were vegan. We don't think we would go back there, as there are many other places we would choose to eat at before them. It was lovely that they did have a variety of food for us during the work meal though. Our favourite dish there was the Dosas

The Work Girls.

We learned that Bodega has a separate vegan menu, so we headed there with The Vegan Engineer to check it out.We had a pleasant meal and will be back. Hopefully for an event as they have a space for 70+ people to rent out.

We were quite thrilled with the selection.

The burrito was top notch! 

3 Three's coffee cafe opened its doors this month in Birmingham City Centre. We could not be more thrilled to have a new Vegetarian/Vegan cafe in town.

Huge selection of vegan sandwiches.

All of their sandwiches and baked goods are vegan.Unfortunately they serve dairy ice cream and cow's milk for coffee. They are so close to being the first vegan cafe in Birmingham.

'Chicken' Style wrap and a chocolate cookie.

They also carry  a wide range of GF cakes.

Islands near Gothenburg, Sweden.

We made our way to Gothenburg, Sweden with a couple of our friends for a few days. We had a fantastic adventure.

When we got back to Birmingham we had to start getting ready for our next trip ASAP. We still left some time to make our way to more restaurants to check out vegan menu items that were on offer!

The following weekend we went to All Bar One with The Vegan Engineer and 12yearsavegan. They have a super salad and miso rice bowl. These items are labelled vegan on their menu. The miso rice bowl was very yummy. It is nice to have a few options at a food chain such as All Bar One, as now if we end up in a city where we aren't sure where to find a vegan meal, we can go to All Bar One. (We have also seen them in airports)

Miso Rice Bowl.

We are enjoying having 3 Threes cafe right in city centre. We can't stop throwing our money at them!

Ham Panini and Soy Mocha

 We decided to go for dinner at The Warehouse Cafe with 12yearsavegan one evening. We hadn't been since sometime last summer as they are always quite busy and you usually need to have a reservation. We were lucky enough to sneak in and have a meal before the people who reserved our table came for their meal.

 Both dinners were quite good. We will have to make a reservation and go again sometime soon. The Warehouse Cafe is a vegetarian restaurant with a variety of vegan options. Including dessert! However, tonight we were still dreaming of 3 Three's Cafe and made our way there for dessert.

Try the brownie! Make sure you ask for it to be warmed up, it's amazing.

As the month was coming to an end, we had to spend more of our evenings getting ready for our next holiday. We embarked on a 9 night cruise and made our way to the Netherlands.
