Tulla - Veggie food par excellence

Walking the Camino as a vegetarian (now that's a real one and not a fish eater!) -Yes here I go again!! - makes eating well quite difficult.

IN Santiago Jane and I found a restaurant with a full veggie menu four years ago, but because of the slightly strange hours it keeps we only got to eat there this year. Unluckily we usually arrived on one of it's closed days. This year we were in Santiago on A Saturday and I was going to make the most of it- lunch and dinner!!

The restaurant in called 'Tulla' and serves both a vegetarian menu a swell as one for carnivores/omnivores & pescivores. IT is a family run place and the 'staff' are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and speak English. Tulla is hidden slightly out of the way down a passage between two of the main thoroughfares, adn I must say it is so worth searching out.

Tulla - Entrerrúas, 1, 15703 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Spain

It is open every lunchtime (usually when we are running round doing pilgrim-like things, but closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. 

 

For lunch we had a variety of dishes between us including the filling and tasty lentil soup, the (tuna free) mixed salad and the pasta with vegetables, which was full of flavour.

For dinner we tried some of the other items on the menu, including the carrot soup, chick pea salad, deep fried (battered) brocolli, and the meat(less)balls. All of them were excellent, and polished off with gusto. I even got the recipe for the strawberry mousse from the waitress (who incidentally was very patient with a group of English 'gentlemen' who I would have soon found irritating, and did actually).

IT seems that I am definitely not the only veggie walking the Caminos and there is now a book out which lists the veggie options for the various stages along the Camino Frances.
