Yummy! - Edit
I grew up in Spain as a child and have always had a love of Spanish tapas, I have not had croquetas for years and their home made ones here, although much bigger than I expected were absolutely incredible. One jalapeño and one cauliflower, yum yum yum

I take everyone here! - Edit
Love this place, and I take every Berlin visitor here! It's super popular, so you have to book a table a bit in advance, especially for weekends. Quirky and punk interior, I discover something new every time :)
Read moreIf you're here only once, you have to order:
- the patatas bravas
- the croquetas
- the salmon on toast
Also a good place to take vegan-curious people imo!
Pros: Patatas bravas, Fun interior
Cons: Slow (and slightly unfriendly) service sometimes

Schöne Idee, unfreundlichster Service - Edit
Unser Besuch in diesem gemütlichen Restaurant mit veganen Tapas begann vielversprechend. Die Auswahl an kreativen Gerichten machte neugierig, und besonders der Karottenlachs hat uns geschmacklich voll überzeugt. Leider konnten die Romanaherzen nicht mithalten und hinterließen uns eher enttäuscht. Dennoch schien es zunächst ein schöner Abend zu werden.
Read moreEin großes Manko stellte jedoch die Reservierungssituation dar. Wir hatten im Vorfeld einen Tisch reserviert und genossen unser Essen sowie ein Glas Wein. Doch nach etwa 1 Stunde und 40 Minuten wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass unser Tisch in 20 Minuten wieder vergeben sei. Dass Reservierungen zeitlich begrenzt sind, mag zwar üblich sein, doch wir wurden darüber nicht informiert. Dies führte zu einem äußerst unangenehmen Gefühl, denn kaum 18 Minuten später – mein Weinglas noch nicht leer – kam bereits die Rechnung. Wenige Minuten danach wurden wir mit bösen Blicken von der Bar zusätzlich unter Druck gesetzt.
Besonders irritierend war, dass während unserer überstürzten Verabschiedung weder unser Tisch abgeräumt wurde noch neue Gäste Platz nahmen. Gleichzeitig verließen andere Gäste das Restaurant ganz ohne offensichtlichen Zeitdruck. Ein benachbarter Tisch mit einer Gruppe, die vor uns gekommen war, blieb sogar noch sitzen. Dies verstärkte den Eindruck, dass wir willkürlich zum Gehen gedrängt wurden.
Ohne diese unangenehme Erfahrung hätten wir sicher noch eine weitere Stunde verbracht, Dessert und Kaffee bestellt und den Abend in schöner Atmosphäre ausklingen lassen. So aber blieb leider ein bitterer Nachgeschmack, der den positiven Eindruck des Essens überschattete.
Pros: Karottenlachs , Einrichtung , Musik
Cons: Service und Reservierungspolitik , Wein, Romanaherzen

Delicious Tapas in Berlin - Edit
This establishment is a gem. Tasty tapas, delicious drinks, lively atmosphere - and the entire menu is plant-based. Will say that you should book a reservation in advance, especially for larger parties.

Best Spanish vegan in Berlin - Edit
Oh my god, speechless. The cashew "foie gras" is out of this world. Also the Spanish omelette is a must try. Service could be a bit friendlier... But I will swallow my pride and go back, and then swallow the croquetas.

This place is just legit. The owner is warm and the food is great - a real tapas menu in the heart of Neukölln. Great wine list, jaw dropping garlic aioli, spicy salty perfect olives - it's lovely.

Very rude owner - Edit
The host who was present was very rude from the get go and seemed very upset, perhaps they weren't having a good day. Right before we left the host put on music on an absurd volume and disappeared behind the counter before we could thank her for her time.

Many different tasty plates available to share with friends 💙 - Edit
Went here with a couple of friends and we shared an obscene amount of small plates, everything was quite tasty and I especially loved the patatas bravas. They also had Shirley temples on the menu which I haven’t had in years and was very good! I think the strict time limit for seating means you don’t get the super relaxed vibe of sharing tapas for some hours, especially since getting the food can take quite a while when it’s busy. But I feel visiting here is worth it because there is a LOT of choice, everything is vegan, and tasty!

delicous food, prices were normal/expensive/reservation needed - Edit
The tapas were really good, I recommend the patatas! If you want to sit inside (or even outside): make a reservation! We were lucky to still get a seat outside but only because we arrived early in the evening! The prices are normal for a completely vegan/ hip bar/restaurant but still on the expensive side nonetheless.
Read morePortion size varied and some portions were too small for the price! Look at the pictures to get an idea what to order!
Pros: good food, service was kind/quick, nice ambience
Cons: a little expensive , reservation needed

Underwhelming - Edit
Highly underwhelming.
Read moreAnd to be fair, I will mention that the patatas bravas were good. For everything else, the following applies: good photos for Instagram are more important than taste.
The concept of the 2-hour time slots doesn't work if you're not served 3/4 hours before time is up, but you're thrown out VERY rude- and punctually. Thank god, there are plenty of vegan alternatives in Neukölln! Never again!

Delicious place - Edit
Everything was perfectly cooked and the ambiance is extraordinary. We had 4 tapas for 2 persons. Patatas bravas (so good and no idea how theymake the sauce so creamy!), geraücherter mandelricotta (perfect texture and the homade bred was extraordinary), verbrante aubergine (so melting), and a tomatoes salad. The place is beautifull and original, the service was good.

Cons: No reservation system, very hard to have a table.

100% Tasty Tapas - Edit
Alaska Bar is the best vegan restaurant we visited in Germany and it’s easy to understand why it was packed out! We enjoyed a range of tapas: patatas bravas, lox, feta with winter vegetables, croquettes and vegan foie gras. Every dish we sampled was a delicious taste sensation. Most were 100% prepared in their own kitchen. Great mocktail menu too and we loved the gingerinha. Be sure to reserve a table to avoid disappointment.
Read morePros: Delicious flavours, A majority of dishes unique and made from scratch., Fun kitschy setting
Cons: Reservations required

Delicious food, cocktails, atmosphere - Edit
Had a great time at Alaska. Slightly eccentric decor inside peppered with vegan messaging (and plenty of animal pics). Seating spaces are cosy so be prepared to sit pretty close to the neighbour behind you. This plus the Europop/disco music and excellent drinks list, as well as the popularity of the bar wit regulars, creates a great atmosphere. There are some outdoor seats where I waited for a space inside (the weather has just changed enough for it to be a bit too cold outside).
Read moreIt is a little difficult to pick the right number of options for a solo diner as you want to try most things but they're all more of a 'sharing' size so beware.
I had the best croquette I've ever had (cauliflower with coconut milk and curry powder) and the patatas bravas was also excellent. The chorizo sandwich was delicious but pretty heavy and I'd made the mistake of over ordering.
The food is good value if ordering in a group.
Pros: Incredible food, Great atmosphere with warm and friendly staff, Great wine and cocktail list
Cons: Tricky to get a seat inside!

This is some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. AND cocktails!! Reasonably priced and the flavours are to die for except no one had to. Recommend booking a table because this place is popular and rightfully so! Thank you!

About as authentic vegan tapas as you'll find - Edit
The only place in Berlin where you'll find authentic vegan Spanish tapas. Great atmosphere, mainly because it's rather small and very popular, so it's almost always pretty packed inside. Making reservations is a good idea.

Berlin-Bar - Edit
If you fancy an alternative Berlin-bar-feeling Alaska bar could be something for you. They offer many cocktails and interesting vegan tapas like foie gras.
Read moreUnfortunately we were too stuffed from dinner to try them!
Ambience is fun - a very small place stuffed with all kinds of partly cheesy and also animal rights decoration.
Staff wasn’t too friendly - Berlin ;-)
All in all alright for a drink and snack.
