Be sure to make a reservation if you want to be guaranteed a spot, as it’s popular for a reason.
#3 Deli
This tiny place serves high quality vegan fast food. The menu consists of customizable burgers, sandwiches, salads and a few other changing dishes such as noodles or soups. It is perfect for a quick but filling bite. They often have locally made cakes, so make sure to leave some room for dessert too! During summer months, they have extra seating outside. However, if it’s busy and you may have to order take away. This shouldn’t be a problem as there are several nice parks to sit nearby.

#6 Die Vleischerei
Both vegetarians and meat-eaters described the Vöner (vegan Döner) as succulent, well-seasoned – just delicious Vöner!

Die Vleischerei, is a play with German word “Fleischerei” (meaning butcher’s shop), the “V” at the beginning stands for vegan.
