French artist, Space Invader, or someone close to him, has posted pictures giving Flickr users an inside look of his ‘invasion’ of Vienna throughout June 2006. Creating a mixup of art installation and social exploration game, the artist created tile-based pixel art recreating characters from the classic video games Pac-Man and Space Invaders, then pasted them to buildings around Vienna, Austria. Space Invader is currently at residence in Vienna’s Museumsquartier.

Those who don’t know us personally, wouldn’t know that we’re green-living, hippie vegans. So now you know. Naturally, it makes sense that we love food, so we’re starting this weekly series on vegetarian and vegan restaurants around the world. We’ll start off our weekly post series here in our own backyard of Vienna, Austria. Watch weekly for us to hype up a vegetarian / vegan restaurant somewhere in the world, maybe on your street, who knows. If you have a veg restaurant, deli or cafe in your town that you want us to feature, then let us know [Email address: veg #AT# bunchofnerds.com - replace #AT# with @ ]. But remember, none of this half-assed, 2 vegetarian options on the menu deals. These have to be full-on, 100% vegetarian (with at least *some* vegan options) menus!

This week’s restaurant is possibly Vienna’s premier veg spot. Vegetasia’s menu is naturally 100% vegetarian and almost every dish can be prepared vegan if it’s not already. Featuring a huge variety of mock meats (’chicken’, ‘pork’, ‘beef’, and ’seafood’ made from soy, wheat gluten and seitan), a small selection of dim-sum and all the veggies and tofu you could ask for, it’s a spot that has to be on any traveling veg’s to-visit list. Oh, did we mention there’s also an all you can eat lunch buffet 7 days a week? Featuring over 10 dishes, plus soups, sides and desserts for one super low price, all you’ll need to do is loosen that belt and dig in.
