Cooking without meat has become an art form in Berlin, and on all levels. From the down-to-earth lunch table to the starred menu, there is plant-based and vegetarian cuisine here that even convinced meat eaters rave about. Cookies Cream in Mitte was the first vegetarian restaurant with a Michelin star in 2018 and still attracts international guests today. At Lucky Leek in Prenzlauer Berg, head chef Josita Hartanto prepares purely vegan dishes at a high level, and Blumental on Engeldamm in Kreuzberg proves how creatively a collective of cooks can work with vegetables. Whether a fine dinner or a hearty breakfast, no wish is left unfulfilled here. Which address will you reserve first?

For me, good vegetarian food has to be more than a side dish without meat, it needs its own signature. While testing, I paid attention to the creativity of the kitchen, to the quality of the produce and to whether a dish leaves you full and satisfied even without animal ingredients. Just as important to me was the overall experience, from the service to the atmosphere at the table.
Blumental at Engeldamm in Kreuzberg is one of the best addresses for vegan-vegetarian food. In a historic brick building, a collective of passionate chefs and restaurateurs serves plant-based cuisine so creative that you truly won't miss the meat.
