Even a person far from the "green" ideology will appreciate them because they amaze the imagination with a variety of tasty and healthy food, breaking all stereotypes about scarcity and uniformity of vegetarian food. Only in these cafes you can find a myriad of variations of salads, rolls, soups, main courses, pizza and baking without meat and fish.
