Germany
______________________________________________________________________


Germany has a chain of natural food stores called "Reformhaus". This
chain is not recommended though because the food is expensive and not
"biological" (i.e. comes from 'normal' farmers), and there's always a
waste of packing material. A better chain would be "Bio-Laden", but
they too are expensive.

There is a pure vegetarian restaurant in both Hamburg and Berlin,
however I have no information whatsoever on them at the moment.
(i.e., not even the names.)

UK
______________________________________________________________________


Vegetarian guides are sold everywhere. ex: "Vegetarian Guide to the
Scottish Highlands and Islands", "Vegetarian London", etc.

There are several nationally-circulated vegetarian-oriented magazines
available in any big newsagents that have pages and pages of small
ads.

Wimpy, Burger King, and just about every restaurant chain in the UK
except for McDonalds serves a bean burger at its stores in the UK.
Also, most main-line railway stations have a "Casey Jones" burger
shop in them, selling "Mexican Bean Burgers", which are much the same
thing again.

London
------

Cranks Restaurants - a vegetarian restaurant chain

Diwana Bhel-Poori House, 2 locations:
  121-123 Drummond Street, London NW1         12 noon to 12 midnight
  50 Westbourne Grove, London W2              Restricted opening hours
- Vegetarian. The food is good and cheap. Mostly South Indian (Madras
  area) dishes but they also have Gujarati (north-west India) dishes.

Chutneys, 124 Drummond Street, London NW1
- Vegetarian. Food mostly from the Gujarat region of India.
  The lunchtime buffets are extremely good and cheap at #3.95 plus
  drinks (if required).  I think 'lunchtime' extends quite late into
  the afternoon and the buffet is 'Eat as much as you like'.

Diwana, Drummond Street, 2 minutes walk from Euston railway station.
- Vegetarian Indian restaurant.

Spices
- Excellent Vegetarian Indian restaurant. I ate vegan & I went with
  three flesh eaters who were all absolutely thrilled with the food.
  No frills, but the service is spectacular.

Country Life, 123 Regent Street, 01-434-2922
- Vegan. 7th Day Adventist restaurant.

Govinda's, 9-10 Soho Street, 01-437-3662
- Hare Krishna vegetarian restaurant.


Vegetarian Organizations:

International Jewish Vegetarian Society
Bet Teva, 853/855 Finchley Road, Golders Green, London NW11 8LX, England

Scotland


Edinburgh
---------

Henderson's, 94 Hanover Street
- Decades-old vegetarian salad restaurant, always reliable quality,
  always busy.

Kalpna, St. Patrick's Square
- Good vegetarian Indian (Gujerati) food. Cheap at lunchtime.

Seeds, 53 West Nicolson Street
- Wholefood vegetarian cafe, very small, lots of vegan food.


Most vegetarians can and do eat in most restaurants. Restaurants
which don't serve any vegetarian food are few and far between, and
don't prosper, as far as I can see.
