Vegan restaurants and more
Tip 1: Share delicious tapas at 1900 Vegan Living
Vegan moments of pleasure - that is the restaurant's slogan. Here too, fresh ingredients of the highest quality take centre stage. Vietnam is known for its varied vegan cuisine and this is wonderfully realised at 1990 vegan Living. Enjoy delicious tapas creations, crispy salads and soya with wonderful dressings and nuts.

Tip 2: Kanaan - The best Hummus in town
"Make Hummus not war" is the motto of Kanaan in the Helmoltz neighbourhood in Prenzlauer Berg. The restaurant was created by the merger of Israeli Oz Ben David and Jalil Debit, a Palestinian with Arab roots. The two offer a selection of fresh salads, hummus dishes, falafel and homemade baked goods. The ever-changing menu is completely vegan-vegetarian. Completely vegan on request. This is where traditional Israeli-Palestinian home cooking meets modern cookery. The Kanaan offers refugees from the Middle East and Africa work and is a place of friendship, tolerance and solidarity.

Tip 3: Try original neapolitan Pizza at La Stella Nera
Italian cuisine also likes to be vegan. Try original Neapolitan pizza from the wood-fired oven, homemade antipasti and fresh salads. A typical Italian dessert crowns the meal.

Tip 4: Convince yourself of the Berlin classic in vegan at Vöner
The dispute over the invention of the doner kebab has still not been settled. It is not clear where it was first sold and by whom. But it is certain that the kebab came from Berlin. Developed ten years ago for a mobile vegan sales stand, it is enjoying ever greater popularity today. In the meantime, there is a permanent sales stand and a small vöner factory from which other cities are supplied with the vöner spit. Enjoy the mix of conscious, vegan lifestyle and Turkish street food. Fast food: healthy and ethically correct!
