cenas comunitarias vegetarianas (8 euros)
There are plenty of vegetables, particularly the salad, but the main course the times I have been there was pasta with meat sauce. Any soup is likely to have a meat base. We had the hospitalero drag the cook from the kitchen for a round of applause!Refugio Pequeño Potala, serves dinners, including vegetarian options.
It will almost certainly be a meat broth except in an actual vegetarian place, so ask (if it is important to you). Spain is a pork-based country!a vegetarian soup (pumpkin, lentil, garlic)
SCL said:When ordering a pilgrim meal there are often several vegetarian options for the first course, but rarely for the second course. I usually ordered two first courses; a mixed salad without the tuna for my first course and either a vegetarian soup (pumpkin, lentil, garlic) or pasta with tomato sauce from the first course menu as my second course.

carriedavey said:Cedros restaurant in Santiago (which sadly we only found on our final evening!) is EXCELLENT and has plenty of vegetarian options. The cuisine is Thai and is tasty, wholesome and well cooked.
Ages, The first place you come to advertises a Veggie Menu. Any more info?
Maurice - Thanks for the list. And thanks to all contributors.Thank you all for the info. I've gone over all the comments and info and this is the list I came up with. I plan to start from SJPP on Sept 18. Indian, Middle Eastern and Asian Restaurants generally have decent Veggie options and University towns also. Please add to this list or correct it. I very much appreciate all the wonderful insights I have received on this forum. Also, I believe a few good phrases to know are: 'Tienes un menu vegetariano?' Do you have a vegetarian menu? 'No como carne, pollo, cerdo o mariscos'. I do not eat meat, chicken, pork or seafood. 'Tienes arroz y frijoles?' Do you have rice and beans? I'm practicing my vegetables (verduras) in Spanish.

Orisson, Veggie Options available.

Hey NoornanderVeen, thanks for the info.I will edit the above list to include the Ages info. I'll also look into the website. I'll try make note of any additional restaurants from that site. Getting excited and it's coming soon. Have been trying to book Orisson for the 18th but they done seem to answer their emails. I want to go slow and enjoy the Pyrenees. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to have this list available so people can add to and keep it updated and available to Peregrinos. Thank you to everyone for their input. Peace, Love and Buen CaminoI found this website: http://www.restaurantesvegetarianos.es/, which lists vegetarian restaurants in all of Spain. I found rest./bar Los Delirios del Quijote (http://www.restaurantesvegetarianos...sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=149&Itemid=194) on there which I am hereby adding to the list!
Hi yes I stayed in Las Herrerias, its veggie and lovely, youre spoiled for choice in that area as there is La Faba about 3km further on and the place in Ruitelan a few km beforeHi there!
I'm not a vegetarian nor vegan, but I volunteered to make a list of "good" menu del dia/menu peregrino/plato combinado/a la carte etc. And I wish to thank you all to contribute to this list althought you may not be aware of it at all. I'll put your reports in my list (will be on this forum of course!). Most of the suggestions are already there, but yesterday I saw in a thread that I can't find right now, that the only albergue in Herrerias (just before the ascent to O'Cebreiro) offers vegetarian cenas: http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es/refugio-en-herrerias. Hope that will help someone on the way right now
Buen provecho!

Past summer I walked from SJPP to Santiago. As a vegetarian, it wasn't always easy to find places where we could eat a nice vegetarian dish other than patatas or pasta with tomatosauce.
I did however notice there were a lot of nice vegetarian(friendly) albergues and restaurants, but we always heard of them after we had passed them.
So, for my next camino I'd like to know of these places beforehand! Can you help me out? This topic might be helpful for other vegetarians/vegans as well. I know of the following places, but I'm sure there are more:
- Albergue Orisson (between SJPP and Roncesvalles) serves vegetarian dishes
- In Burgos is restaurant Gaia, a superb vegan restaurant close to the cathedral
- In Murias de Rechivaldo (after Astorga) is a bar that has a vegetarian menu
- In Pieros (after Cacabelos) is a new vegetarian albergue
- The Brazilian albergue in Vega de la Valcarce serves lovely vega-meals
- In La Faba is a vegetarian albergue
Thanks for thinking along and buen camino to y'all!

Maurice - Thank you for making the list. My new guidebook tells me this about Agés:
"Albergue San Rafael, private, 10 beds, wifi, etc. Open all year, offers vegetarian and Celiac (gluten free) meals." The map shows that when entering the town, the albergue is immediately on your left hand side.
Loving all the input
I've thought about this and decided to bring protein powder with me for a morning or afternoon shake. I'm bringing a platypus for my water and then I'll carry around an empty water bottle and make shakes as I go - I'm only bringing enough for maybe 15-20 servings so it shouldn't be that heavy to carry but will come in handy when I feel low on protein optionsYou are right of course! I simetimes have a hard time getting enough proteins. At home I eat a lot of dairy, soya, beans, whey and quorn for example.
Does anyone know about the Via de la Plata? Kitchen facilities in the albergues too?
