For the sweet tooth<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s really common to crave sweet foods and want a nice brownie or an ice-cream when summer approaches (or anytime). A great place to fulfill your desires without feeling guilty or bad is Bora-Bora. This lovely truck by the pier offers a wide variety of vegan desserts. My favourites are the waffles, but if you go you should also definitely try the pancakes, the coconut and strawberry ice creams and their homemade cakes. Make sure to enter their contests as well, as last time I won tickets for a vegan festival in London.<\/p>\n The classical<\/strong><\/p>\n The new discoveries<\/strong><\/p>\n Dirty Vegans is a new \u201cvegan fast food\u201d restaurant located in the centre of Boscombe. As the name implies, it\u2019s the place to go if you fancy something heavy and dirty that will satisfy your hunger. They offer big burgers full of flavour and every single ingredient is vegan, from the buns, to the patties, to the hot dogs and the loaded fries, with all sorts of condiments.<\/p>\n More options everywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n Hello there, my name is Alejandra. I\u2019m a postgraduate student from Colombia. Nowadays, it\u2019s common to be vegetarian, vegan or simply to look for healthier choices when eating out. I\u2019m personally interested in this topic and it is one of the reasons I\u2019m studying Nutrition and Behaviour. When it comes to food, I do try… Read more » about Looking for the \u201cVEG\u201d option?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3124,"featured_media":7949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,828,1663,12,704],"tags":[1694,190,1304,710,2103],"class_list":["post-14904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-accommodation","category-international-student-stories","category-postgraduate","category-student-blogs","category-student-life","tag-alejandra-toro","tag-colombia","tag-food-options","tag-international-students","tag-msc-nutrition-and-behaviour"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3124"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/postgraduate\/files\/2019\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-04-10-at-11.21.28-PM.jpeg\")
<\/a>When you are at BU, most of the main venues have vegan or vegetarian options. Firstly, there is Dylan\u2019s Caf\u00e9, where you can find pretty fulfilling and loaded dishes. If you are looking for a more balanced option, the restaurant in the Fusion Building is a great option, as they always have a vegetarian menu and their salad bar is really good. I usually don\u2019t like ordering salads when eating out because sometimes they can be boring. However, I like them at Fusion because they offer a wide variety of greens, roasted vegetables, potatoes, legumes, seeds and nuts, cheese, dressings and much more. There is also a reducetarian society at BU, where people share links about interesting events, restaurants, recipes and sometimes even cook together (last time it was hummus night).<\/p>\n<\/a>Mad Cucumber is a very well-known restaurant situated in the Triangle. What\u2019s different about this place? For starters, it has been in Bournemouth for a long time, not only because of their food but also because of the great ambience it has. You can choose from breakfast, lunch or dinner, and they have all sorts of savoury and sweet options. In general, the food is more homemade and balanced, including soups, wraps, main dishes, curry, stroganoff, beans, pasta, and special dishes. I pick this option when I\u2019m feeling like eating comfort food that\u2019s also going to be good for me.<\/p>\n<\/a>Bournemouth is a young city with new restaurants opening all the time. One of them is Caf\u00e9 Thrive, which is a combination of salads, sandwiches, burgers and amazing desserts.\u00a0 What I like the most about this restaurant is that their dishes are based on innovative ingredients like cashew cheese, meat-free sausages, seitan and jackfruit. The burgers are their speciality; they are big and tasty and include words like \u201cchicken\u201d and \u201cmeaty\u201d. Finally, for dessert lovers, you might have heard about Booja Booja ice creams, which are cashew-based, soya-free and sweetened with agave. Caf\u00e9 Thrive is the place to try these, or other vegan ice creams, waffles, brownies, smoothies and much more.<\/p>\n<\/a>Many restaurants have vegan and vegetarian options in their menus. Some examples are: Pizza Express, Chopatti, Caf\u00e9 Boscanova, Forno, Conto Lounge and Las Iguanas, but there are lots of ethnic restaurants. Remember to always ask for a vegetarian or vegan menu! Most places will have an exclusive menu hidden behind the counter. Most importantly, keep yourself updated about any new restaurants opening up, and go out and explore all that Bournemouth has to offer.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
