Budapest: some (okay me) say it’s where the East meets the West and the North meets the South. European wise anyway. Although it’s a country that’s in a long-term polyamorous relationship with both pork and sour-cream, Budapest is shockingly great for vegans and vegetarians. There are over 23 pure vegan restaurants, there’s plenty of vegan options in the supermarkets and they even have a whole vegan garden. And, it has the added bonus of being a rather cheap holiday destination – if you’re coming from the West at least anyway. Add to that gorgeous architecture and hot thermal baths and you can maybe see why I love Budapest. With over 23 vegan restaurants to choose from, you might feel a little overwhelmed with the choice. Don’t worry, I am semi-based in Budapest, I have a lot of Hungarian vegan friends and I’m pretty confident that I know the places that you’re going to love. When it comes to finding the best Budapest vegan restaurants , it does depend a bit on what you’re looking for.

It is my plan and hope to ensure the right medicines are procured in the right quality, right quantity and delivered to the right place at the right time during my term in office.” “In doing so Mr. Speaker, my first priority in the short term is

With more than 10pc of Audis sold in Ireland last year being electric, it’s clear that Volkswagen’s premium brand is playing its part in the push by the group towards an all-electric future, writes Brian Byrne. Nearly half of those sales were of the Q4 e-tron, the newest and smaller of the three Audi EVs available. My review car is newer still, as the Sportback version of the Q4 e-tron, and I was quite taken with the softer rear roofline compared to the full SUV version’s. It has the style of a coupe liftback, but without sacrificing any of the passenger space, and only mildly diminishing boot capacity. In size it not surprisingly is close to the VW ID.5 equivalent and a bit more compact than key competitor Hyundai’s Ioniq 5. I thought the car’s shape was very well displayed in the non-metallic grey — they call it Pebblestone — of the review car.  The Q4 e-tron stylists held on to the sense of a grille front end, which I still think gives an EV more presence than some of the flat front
