Health shopping in Europe

  1. A

    Blueberry

    Health gets haute at this uberhip wholefoods shop, complete with tiny tea bar and trendy buys like soya candles, biodegradable yoga mats and designer paternity bags (as worn by Brad Pitt). With healthy hunks on your mind, grab yourself a fresh Love smoothie (chocolate, cardamom and pear) and prêt-à-manger lunch pack from the health bar out the back.

    Magic Mushroom Gallery

    Magic ’shrooms may be outlawed, but this shop has an excellent choice of truffles, pipes and bongs. Feel free to wobble the garden swing while you nurse a smart drink, or check out the trippy mood lighting while you wait for the herbal ecstasy to kick in.

    When Nature Calls

    Despite its curious name, this smart shop dispenses serious, informative, helpful and no-nonsense advice about its wares, which include the usual offerings – magic truffles, herbal ecstasy, energisers, cannabis seeds and sex stimulants.
