restaurant review #300 (yes, 300!!! 🙂 ) – Rucolino is a vegan restaurant in Dudelange in Luxembourg, a bit south of the capital, Luxembourg city. We were here a couple of weeks ago, when we were in the area for the International Animal Rights Conference (I gave a presentation there about Animal Resistance and human saviourism, see here).
Restaurant Review #117 – The Loving Hut is an international chain of vegan restaurants. We have visited several Loving Huts over the years (in New York, Brighton, Maastricht and Louvain) and despite all holding the same name (and serving no alchol), the cuisine and setting of the respective restaurant varies enormously.

Not having to ask whether the fries are baked in vegetable oil, being able to order food without worrying about hidden ingredients! What a relief! And plenty of choice too! Vegan food catering at Ieperfest: This is what we ate at Ieperfest: For refreshments, there’s of course plenty of beer available, but it’s nice you can also drink organic apple or orange juice (2€).
