Greens and Good Stuff

15/09/2026

Sometimes, traveling with 'dietary requirements' can feel overwhelming.. That's usually why we opt for a self catered accommodation and then we are able to pretty much control our meals (sounds extreme but if you know, you know!)

Thankfully, even the tiny city centre food shops had a HUGE plantbased range in Florence - so sorting breakfasts, tea in the evening was easy 🍽️

Some highlights from our adventures during the day included:

🍨 Cortese Café We did both locations on different days because we visited Santa Maria Novella and needed a pit stop.. Then later in our stay we popped for Gelato just over the river. They are fully gluten free-vegan so it's a must visit if you need allergy friendly treats!

🌯 Santo Falafel | Firenze We totally forgot how HUGE the portions are!! Most amazing falafel wrap (with chips, although we didn't need them!) REALLY fab spot and so lovely to see a fully vegan menu. Gutted we aren't staying longer because the list of specials looks sooo good.

🥪 The 'Secret Garden' bar just down from 'David's square' Serretorrigiani In Piazzetta - tucked in amongst the shops.. A lovely quiet spot with a bangin' houmous and roasted veg sandwich (totally massive - we shared this!)

🍕 Eataly Italia Although we felt like we were slightly betraying our favourite pizza place at home.. This was a fab spot for lunch. There's a few options on the menu (including a yummy sounding GFVG Roasted veg and Quinoa salad bowl).. But we opted for the marina (twice 😂) The staff were all really friendly and the produce in the retail section was good for 'cook for dinner' treats.

The vegan restaurant around the corner from where we are staying escaped us this time.. Il vegano bistro.. Although we are DEFINITELY going for a tiramisu next time!!

We already knew Florence was a good trip for us.. Seems it's got even more accessible in the 2 years since we last visited.

Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to delve into a cultural trip but slightly nervous about the food stuff x

Because it's been a little while since I was regularly offering a food/meal delivery service.. So I would really appreciate your feedback as we start to make plans for the offer through the Greens and Good Stuff Deli project..

The plan is to have a weekly offer for a collection service - something we can do on a Sunday as there's access around the back to drive and collect. What we offer though is kinda up to you.

In the past I have done everything from individual meal pots that were perfect for shift workers, people living alone, busy professionals and students through to older people who wanted an alternative to the slightly beige alternative meal service.. As well as full kit format recipe boxes with all elements to prepare the meals yourself.

My gut feeling is that fully prepped meals and meal elements in differing portion sizes is where the market is going.. Although I am happy to be wrong!

Would massively appreciate your input and support with this.

Looking to launch the new offer by the end of September 😉
