Vegetarian restaurants in Germany

  1. A

    Hiller

    Germany's oldest vegetarian restaurant is such an institution it even has its logo - a carrot - carefully embroidered onto every linen napkin. Despite the modern interior, with swirly green painting and mustard-coloured walls, the atmosphere is quite hushed and the food a tad old-fashioned. That said, come with an appetite if ordering a set menu.

    Cookies Cream

    Combining coolness with substance, this great hidden eatery is reached via the service alley of the Westin Grand Hotel. Upstairs awaits an elegantly industrial space where flesh-free but flavour-packed dishes are brought to linen-draped tables. It's all so good and gorgeous, even diehard meatheads should have no complaints.

    Kao Kao

    A tantalising aroma of lemongrass, curry and coconut will perk up even the most jaded proboscis at this top Thai parlour with zero kitsch factor. The menu hopscotches from classic pad thai to red shrimp curry with lychees and Barbary duck in whisky sauce, usually with palate-pleasing results.

    Café Koppel

    Set back from busy Lange Reihe, with a garden in summer, this largely vegie cafe is a refined oasis, where you can hear the tinkling of spoons in coffee cups midmorning on the mezzanine floor. The menu includes great breakfasts, lots of salads, stews, jacket potatoes, curries and pasta.

    BrennNessel

    Housed in Dresden's half-timbered Environmental Centre, this superb vegetarian place with a woodsy interior and leafy cobbled courtyard beer garden is possibly the city's best. It's a favourite hang-out for off-duty Semperoper musicians, whom you can often hear practising nearby.

    Seerose

    Vegetarians in the know flock to this little café which tempts tastebuds with fresh, creative and animal-free pastas, casseroles, soups, salads and other creations. Order at the buffet-style counter, then start salivating at a pavement table or inside in the cosy café.

    Zodiac

    People sharing laughs over dinner are a common sight at this jungly sanctuary where meat is a no-no and organic produce standard. Dishes are inspired by the world's cuisines and the pizzas are named for the signs of the zodiac. All can be calibrated to vegan needs.

  8. Restaurant Pars

    A favourite with locals who live and work nearby, this place serves delicious and reasonably priced Persian dishes, including lots of vegetarian options, to the accompaniment of mellow Persian music. It's situated across the Dreisam from the Altstadt.

    Altes Bräuhaus

    Comfort food in this traditional dark timber dining room includes pork schnitzel and Wammerl (smoked pork belly with bacon and sauerkraut), but there are also a handful of vegetarian dishes like mushroom soup with bread dumplings.

    Samâdhi

    Meat is a no-no at this central restaurant run by former Vietnamese refugees. Exotic dishes leap off the menu, including such unusual concoctions as bitter melon curry and how mok - a vegetable custard served in a banana leaf.

    Yellow Sunshine

    Healthy fast food is not an oxymoron at this certified organic meat-free diner. Their vegie burgers are slobberingly yummy and the seitan steak and tofu Currywurst might even get hard-core carnivores salivating.

    Buxs

    One of Munich's few outposts of vegie culture, this light-filled self-service place serves 40-plus varieties of soups, salads and antipasti - there are also recipe books on sale so you can enjoy them at home.

  14. Aran

    This organic café has a terrace facing Augustinerplatz that's perfect for chilling. Locals pile in for fresh juices, chunky soups and sandwiches like tuna-artichoke and cashew-chilli.

    Stadtmarkt

    Cheap eats abound on Bahnhofstrasse, and the local Stadtmarkt is a picnicker's feast. The usual sausage-pizza- Brezel culprits cluster around the Hauptbahnhof.
