Lots of people are now beginning to take notice of the high prices of food wherever you go and are setting up initiatives to provide affordable, healthy meals to locals and travelers. For example, you’ll find the Hare Krishna restaurant, Govindas, here in Dublin giving away large take away trays of their delicious vegetarian food for just €1 as it nears closing time.
I’ve mentioned before the Food not Bombs movement who are active worldwide in offering simple, free meals to the public every week. I once happily chowed down on one of their hot, tasty lentil curries in the freezing cold November streets of York in the UK.
The Real Junk Food project is another great organisation that run Pay As You Feel cafes all across Europe. I tried a few of them, also while in the UK last year, and was provided with decent food and friendly service.
The Groupon website can often turn up some bargain restaurant deals and, although I’ve never used it, I’ve read some great things about Food For All where you can buy restaurant’s leftovers at the end of the day for a fraction of the price.
