#479 Great breakfast, very basic accomodation, Hotel Nicolay, Zeltingen GER

restaurant review #479 – Vegan Hotel at the Moselle in Germany! We were here for a couple of nights in the Fall of 2023. Breakfast buffet was lovely. Lots of things to choose from, cereals, fruits, jam, slices, pate, spread, …No tofu scramble or other hot dishes, or Danish pastry, which would make it complete! Breakfast is in 2 shifts, and you have to notify the day before if you want the early shift or the later one. A bit of a pity, one of the pleasant things of being on holiday is just waking up when you want to, no alarm clock. Apparently some rooms in the hotel have been recently renovated, but our room clearly wasn’t. Judging by the bathroom and furniture, I think it stems from the late 1970’s? Which also means poor insulation, and you can hear traffic from the road as if the window is open. The room was very basic, with some furniture wore down. Fridge dirty and not working (was mentioned and apologised for by the owner, but …

restaurant review #410 – Hummus with a view đŸ€©đŸ€©It’s a bit of a climb to get to the restaurant, but well worth it! Amazing location with a view at the Moselle, and several vegan options on the menu (clearly labelled).

#126 In Flanders Fields: Water en Vuur, Diksmuide (2)

Restaurant review #126 – Water & Vuur in Diksmuide is a restaurant at the foot of the IJzertoren (Flemish peace monument) in Diksmuide (48km from Bruges). The restaurant is situated in a renovated cargo boat, on the banks of the IJzer (Yser). During World War I, the front was mainly situated along the banks of the Yser. 2km from the restaurant, you can visit the ‘Dodengang‘ (Trenches of Death), with galleries and trenches in which soldiers fought during WWI. Water & Vuur is 23km from Ypres. We’ve been to Water & Vuur several times over the years, and there’s already a previous review on our blog here. This review is from a recent visit in Spring of 2017. Water en Vuur literally translates as ‘Water and Fire’. It is not a vegan restaurant, but standardly has some vegan options, like seitan stew. The fries are baked in plant based oil. We know from previous visits that portions are rather big, so we didn’t order an appetizer. We were served this amuse gueule with our drinks, which was nice: The food was great. Always nicely presented, with …
