Did you know that Berlin, Germany is home to over 100 vegan restaurants? It’s one of the most plant-based cities in the world, and narrowing it down to just the best is no easy task. From vegan fine dining to incredible döner kebabs, Berlin truly has it all.
Whether you’re a long-time vegan or just plant-curious, Berlin has something special waiting for you. Here’s my guide to the best vegan and plant-based restaurants in the city, tried, tested, and loved.
Best Vegan Restaurants in Berlin
1. Cookies Cream — Europe’s Most Celebrated Plant-Based Fine Dining
Cookies Cream is one of Europe’s most celebrated vegan fine dining restaurants, and finding it is half the adventure — you enter through a car park off Glinkastraße and make your way through the service entrance of a grand hotel before arriving in a dramatically lit, intimate dining room that feels unlike anywhere else. The cuisine is seasonal, creative, and stunningly plated, with tasting menus that change regularly to reflect what’s best from local producers. Think truffle risotto, smoked beetroot with horseradish cream, and desserts that are genuinely exceptional. This is Berlin at its most surprisingly sophisticated — book well in advance, as it is consistently one of the hardest tables to get in the city.

2. Chay Long — Prenzlauer Berg’s Plant-Based Vietnamese Classic
Chay Long is a Berlin institution for plant-based Vietnamese food, tucked into the vibrant Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood on Schönhauser Allee. The menu is entirely vegan and draws on traditional Vietnamese recipes — fragrant pho brimming with herbs and tofu, fresh and crispy spring rolls, rich coconut curries, and beautifully layered bánh mì sandwiches. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality on offer, and the portions are generous. It’s a relaxed, no-frills kind of place that’s become a regular haunt for Berlin’s vegan community — go for lunch and you’ll find yourself lingering well into the afternoon.

3. Försters — Traditional German Cooking, Reinvented
Försters tackles one of the great challenges of vegan travel in Germany — traditional German cuisine — and it does so with remarkable confidence and skill. Located on Brunnenstraße in Mitte, this 100% plant-based kitchen reimagines classic German dishes like schnitzel, sausages, and sauerbraten using clever meat-free techniques and locally sourced ingredients. The vegan schnitzel with roasted potatoes and sauerkraut is a particular triumph, managing to capture all the hearty satisfaction of the original. The cosy, wood-panelled interior adds to the authenticity, making Försters feel genuinely rooted in Berlin’s culinary traditions — just without any animals involved.

4. Feel Seoul Good — 100% Plant-Based Korean in Kreuzberg
Feel Seoul Good brings 100% plant-based Korean cooking to Kreuzberg, and it’s one of the most exciting things to happen to Berlin’s vegan scene in recent years. The bibimbap bowls are a must — packed with seasoned vegetables, perfectly cooked rice, and fiery gochujang sauce, they’re deeply satisfying and enormous value for money. The Korean-style pancakes (pajeon) are crispy and addictive, and the kimchi — entirely vegan and fermented in-house — is some of the best you’ll taste outside of Seoul. The space is small and the vibe is casual and friendly, making it perfect for a quick, hearty lunch or an early dinner before a night out in Kreuzberg.

5. doen doen — Berlin’s Best Plant-Based Döner
Visiting Berlin without eating a döner kebab feels almost sacrilegious — and thanks to doen doen, vegans no longer have to miss out. This Neukölln plant-based döner spot on Kottbusser Damm has perfected the art of the vegan döner: a warm, soft flatbread stuffed with spiced seitan shavings, crisp salad, pickled cabbage, and a generous drizzle of creamy herb sauce and fiery chilli. It tastes exactly as it should — satisfying, messy, and completely addictive. It’s the kind of food you’ll be thinking about long after you’ve left Berlin, and the reason you’ll find yourself walking back for seconds before you even reach the end of the street.

6. IRO Izakaya — Atmospheric Plant-Based Japanese in Friedrichshain
IRO Izakaya on Simon-Dach-Straße in Friedrichshain is Berlin’s go-to for atmospheric plant-based Japanese dining. Styled like a traditional Japanese izakaya — low lighting, wooden screens, sake bottles lining the shelves — the menu is entirely vegan and covers all the izakaya classics: karaage tofu, crispy edamame, gyoza dumplings packed with vegetables and ginger, and elegant small plates designed for sharing over drinks. The sake and shochu selection is excellent, and the late-night buzz makes it one of the most fun places to eat in the neighbourhood. Order everything in the middle of the table and let the evening unfold.

7. Lucky Leek — A Berlin Institution for Creative Tasting Menus
Lucky Leek is a true Berlin institution — one of the city’s original vegan fine dining restaurants, and still one of its very best. Nestled in the residential calm of Prenzlauer Berg on Kollwitzstraße, this intimate little restaurant has been quietly wowing guests for over a decade with its creative, seasonal tasting menus. Each dish is thoughtfully constructed and beautifully presented, drawing on classical European technique and the finest seasonal produce. The four-course menu is the sweet spot for most diners — enough courses to tell a full story without feeling overwhelming. Warm, attentive service and an outstanding natural wine list round out an experience that is simply not to be missed.

8. La Stella Nera — Sourdough Plant-Based Pizza in Mitte
La Stella Nera on Torstraße is Berlin’s favourite 100% vegan pizzeria, and once you try it, you’ll understand exactly why. The pizzas are made with a slow-fermented sourdough base that blisters beautifully in the oven, and the toppings — from house-made vegan mozzarella to wild mushroom and truffle oil — are applied with a proper Italian hand: restrained, quality-focused, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is lively and the room fills up quickly on weekend evenings, so book ahead or prepare to wait at the bar with an Aperol Spritz. Either way, it’s worth it.

9. Easy Peasy — 100% Plant-Based & Gluten-Free Brunch in Mitte
Easy Peasy on Ackerstraße in Mitte is the kind of neighbourhood café that makes everyday life feel better — and it happens to be entirely vegan and gluten-free. The brunch menu is the main draw: think fluffy pancakes with seasonal fruit and maple syrup, creamy avocado toast on house-baked sourdough, warming grain bowls, and outstanding coffee. The space is bright and inviting, with exposed brick walls, trailing plants, and a relaxed energy that makes it an ideal spot to sit and watch the world go by. A brilliant choice for a gentle start to a day of exploring Berlin, and popular enough that a short wait at weekends is entirely normal.
