Berlin is
a wonderful city for many reasons, the history, the architecture and
the people, but as a vegan, it is a paradise – full of vegan choices
at every turn.
Here are
some of the highlights:
All over
the city there are kebab shops, but unlike the UK versions, all of
these serve delicious falafel in pitta with salad. A great
vegan-friendly option if you need something fast!
There are
a few chains of organic shops and health food stores, such as Viv
Stores and LPG,
which have a wide variety of vegan products and an entirely vegan
chain of food shops called Veganz
– these are filled with mock meats, cheeses, store cupboard
essentials, sweets and drinks including the American brands such as
Tofurky, Gardein and Daiya. There is also a coffee shop attached to
Veganz – Goodies
which sells amazing cakes, paninis, brownies and more. Nearby there
are other vegan boutiques selling shoes and clothes such as Avesu
and DearGoods.
Nearly every shop sells vegan-friendly Fritz Cola if you fancy a soft
drink and we found almond and soy options as well as at least one
vegan cake at most coffee shops.
Dr.
Pogo is an independent vegan shop selling a
wide range of chocolates, sweets, mock meats, cheeses, ready meals,
drinks, whole foods, skincare and cleaning products.
You have
to try the following restaurants/eateries too:
Sfizy
Pizza – An all-vegan pizzeria with over a
hundred different pizza options on the menu!
Voner
– An all-vegan doner kebab shop!
Asia
Gourmet – Choose your noodles, veg, tofu and
sauce. Eat in or take away.
Vego
Cafe – An all-vegan fast food cafe – think
hot dogs, burgers, chips, bratwurst etc.
Delores
– A Mexican burrito place with two vegan options.
Cupcake
Cafe – Lots of vegan cupcakes, cakes and
cookies.
Mio
Matto – A gourmet veggie/vegan restaurant.
Goura
Pakora – An all-vegetarian eatery with many
vegan options.
There are
so many more all over Berlin, you would need a month to try them all!
Go and
visit because Berlin is a perfect weekend break destination for
vegans. Have you been to Berlin? Is there somewhere else we should try or have missed out of this brief guide? Let me know in the comments below.
