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

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.

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)

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

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.

This is one super busy month. I have never been to Sweden nor Birmingham for that matter but both sounds really tempting. The food does look amazing! sounds like you had great fun
ReplyDeleteThanks. We love keeping busy, that's for sure.
DeleteThat cafe sounds great for people who eat vegan or who have special dietary needs. That cruise sounds like a lovely time as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great cafe. The cruise was fun.
DeleteJimmy Spices looks like a great place to go for dinner. I am always looking for places that have a good selection of Vegan dishes.
ReplyDeleteAwesome
DeleteWow it seems like you have been perpetually on the go. It's good to see that you are out and about all those places. Sweden does look lovely in the photo. I really should make a stop by there sometime.
ReplyDeleteSweden is great.
DeleteI can't wait to read all about living aboard a cruise ship! So amazing! I am also super jealous about the Netherlands, I have always wanted to go there!
ReplyDeleteThanks and I hope you go there soon.
DeleteThis was a good foodie post. I am drooling over your Warehouse Cafe spread yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes it was fantastic.
DeleteIt looks like you are having the best time! All the food looks so good!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
DeleteI wish we had more vegetarian places around here. We don't, though. It looks like y'all are having a great time altogether.
ReplyDeleteJust check the Happy Cow website to see what is close to you. You're from Minnesota, right? Minneapolis has the Herbivorous Butcher which we can't recommend enough.
DeleteIt's brilliant that Birmingham now has more vegan options. I like the diversity of the city food choices.
ReplyDeleteBirmingham has lots of vegan options. It's fantasitc.
Deletethe pizza looks delicious and i'm not even really a pizza type of girl.
