The new year is traditionally started with (good) resolutions. Since 2014, a New Year's resolution has been proclaimed worldwide and it is: Veganuary - Try vegan! Do without animal products completely for one month! In Berlin, this is easy. Numerous Berlin restaurants, cafés and ice cream parlours have been spoiling us with wonderful vegan dishes for a long time. And of course you can also find vegan fashion and cosmetics in the capital. We've put together a few tips for you here. Try it for - just one month. It's not that hard!

Tip 3: 1900 Vegan Living
Vegan moments of pleasure - that is the restaurant's slogan. Here, too, the focus is on fresh ingredients of the highest quality.

Tip 5: 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!
