Vegan cocktails, vegan tapas, even a vegan butcher can be found in Berlin. But that’s not all... Follow me on a tour of the vegan side of the German capital.
Eating and Drinking: Feasting without Remorse
Berlin’s restaurants are also increasingly catering to vegans. More than 340 restaurants offer food without animal products and 43 eschew milk, eggs, etc. entirely. Josita Hartanto, chef at Lucky Leek, has even earned a mention in the Michelin Guide with her vegan creations! Vegan menus include such things as Koodles (noodles made from carrots and zucchini) and dishes based on lentils, pasta, rice, or quinoa. I’ve fallen in love with these simply because they’re delicious! Also in trend: juices and smoothies from super foods, for example at Liquid Garden. They are healthy even for non-vegans! Yet for dessert, I need something sweet, maybe crêpes or doughnuts. And that’s no problem in Berlin, either. The wide range always surprises me!
