Do you think that to eat vegetarian in Florence is almost impossible? You are wrong. Ok, Florence is famous all over the world for its recipes and products made with meat, but since several years it’s also possibile to find high quality vegetarian restaurants or to order vegetarian dishes in non-specialised restaurants.

First of all we have to say that Florence and Tuscany have a long and strong tradition in cooking meat-based dishes: the Florentine steak, the panino al lampredotto and the sandwiches stuffed with local cold cuts among the most beloved ones.

Even if two of the most famous traditional recipes in Florence are made with bread and vegetables: the panzanella and the ribollita, to find a place where to avoid eating meat could be difficult for a non-informed tourist. That’s why we have created a list of vegetarian restaurants:

– Il Sedano Allegro, via Luigi Carlo Farini, 1
– La Raccolta, via Giacomo Leopardi, 2
– Dolce Vegan, via S. Gallo, 92r
– Panino Vegano, via Maurizio Bufalini, 19r
– Libreria Caffè Brac, via dei Vagellai 18r

As you can see from the name, some of them are specifically designed for vegan people, but all of them basically offer dishes that can be good for vegans.
