wonderful!

Great atmosphere, wide selection of vegan foods such as wraps, gyros, schnitzel, and a daily changing special. I was spoilt for choice but went for the vegan schnitzel and chips, whichever as wonderful. Absolutely massive portion sizes! Great value for money, a must-visit!

good burger!

The food was very good there, they serve a la carte in the evening (burgers, wraps, Schnitzel) and have a daily menu at lunch times. The dessert we tried was really good as well! The staff was a bit slow though.

Pros: all vegan, many options, good value for money

Cons: slow

Amazeballs!

I mean.. there is no pic attached because we devoured our seitan-burger and falafel-wrap in a few seconds! Such good food! Ambient is warm, staff is welcoming - we sat outside and enjoyed "people-watching" with our doggie and she got water from the waiter too! Lovely experience & we'll be back!

Pros: Great food, Lovely staff, Ok prices

Nice - good burger

I went to this café in the evening. There were many people sitting and talking. It took some time to get the food. The seitan burger was very good, chewy and tasty (better than mine :-$!). The price was ok.
The wrap my friend tried, was also good but she didn't like the cold salad used for part of the filling. It would have been good if it had had room temperature.
It was a bit difficult to talk because of the many people speaking around us but the atmosphere was good.

totally amazing and incredible value for money

I came here three (!!!) times while staying at Graz for less than a week. I had the gyros and falafel wrap and both were amazing. The staff is friendly and it's cozy both inside and outside.

Pros: all vegan amazing food, very good value for money

Cons: small (crowded)

Would have expected more

We saw all the reviews here and thought that this must be a great vegan place to eat. Far from it. This place is really nothing special if you have seen some other vegan places.... Unfortunately they don't offer any gluten-free options (except a salad and fries) and the taste of the other vegan dishes is not more than ok. We had a chili con soy and you tasted almost only cumin. Go there if you are very hungry but don't expect a very unique and delicious meal.

Happy to find this place on my travels

I arrived in the evening without a reservation. There were no tables available, but I found a seat at the counter. The place was very busy, but I was served quickly.

I had the seitan burger and salad from the à la carte menu. It was very tasty.

The music was understated and the atmosphere was animated with many conversations. It seemed like a nice place and it was very popular with the locals.

Pros: Tasty food, All vegan

Warming and loving food and atmosphere

Cafe Erde was a lovely surprise to stumble across in Graz. They serve one set meal per day, and my partner and I were lucky enough to arrive on a day where the meal was conveniently gluten-free also (I have a feeling the staff would be more than happy to accommodate to dietary restrictions if asked anyway). We were served by the most friendly, down-to-earth staff and felt welcomed into their space. The meal consisted of soup, salad and a beetroot curry which was delightful and warming. A place not to be missed.

Pros: Extremely friendly staff and atmosphere, gluten-free was available.

Cons: None

Vegan only, youthful restaurant!

Dish of the day is always tasty and the menu has some good choices ranging from vegan Schnitzel to Wraps! On sundays you can have a "Breakfast" with Baked Beans, Veggie Plate or Scrambled Tofu.

Pros: Youthful, Vegan only

Cons: Not enough seats

youthful, vegan, eat-and-drink

First off: Cafe Erde now has a second room upstairs. so there is no longer the problem of it being booked out.

Next to Ginko my favorite place for vegan food in Graz. For these reasons:
* Reasonable prices, particularly the daily special, which I almost always end up taking and usually love.
* Kind of cool (Have burgers and such, which my kids, and sometimes I myself favor).
* Lots of cool-and-conscientious young people (bike couriers, green activists, but also general public), both among the staff and the guests.
* Doubles as place to eat and a nice bar.
* Central location (Managed to turn a "dead corner" into a lively space).
* True the outdoor space ("Gastgarten") is next to a quite busy space, but in summer I found it surprisingly accomodating none the less. Just don't expect a lush green garden or the like.
* Good beer.

Pros: location, good food and drinks, prices

Cons: when do we get a second one elsewhere?

Lovely place, good menu!

We spent few days in Graz, and I had to eat something cooked. We tried this place, and it was a good choice. It's a small but lovely place, the food was perfect, and the waitress as well. I recommend it.

delicious food, wonderful place and staff

I just spent 5 days in Graz and ate at Café Erde twice, plus I had take out once. Everything is vegan!! I had a seitan wrap (incredible sauce!) and a tofu sandwich (with pesto - mmmh!) from the à la carte menu, and twice their daily menu: Polenta pizza, and Semmelknödel. You get a lot of food for a fair price. The soup that came with the menu was big and delicious. Service is very friendly and warm, and there is almost no waiting time. It's cozy inside but you can also sit outside.
I wish I could eat there everyday!

Die Erde wie sie sein sollte..

Short summary in english:
Excellent food for a reasonable price in the center of graz. You can choose between 2 menues at lunchtime, in the evening its à la carte. The place is 100% vegan and the owner cares about every little detail. Even the cleaning products are vegan.
Brunch on sunday.

**********************************************************

Zuerst das Wichtigste für ein Restaurant:
Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet und preislich top !
Selbst Nicht-Veganer sind jeden Mittag begeistert. Das sieht man daran, dass das Lokal gesteckt voll ist zwischen 12 und 13 Uhr.

Alle Gerichte sind zu 100% vegan. Es gibt jeden Tag ein Menü (bestehend aus Suppe, Hauptspeise) für insgesamt 8 Euro. Beides kann auch einzeln bestellt werden. Da das Hauptgericht eine anständige Portion ist, empfiehlt sich das Menü nur bei größerem Hunger.

Ab 18 Uhr gibt es dann einzelne Gerichte, die täglich serviert werden. Empfehlenswert: Seitan Burger.

In diesem Restaurant hat man sich dem veganen Gedanken zu 100% verschrieben. Der Besitzer und Koch macht sich sehr viele Gedanken darüber wie das Essverhalten unseren Planeten beeinflusst.

Die teilweise kuriosen schlechten Bewertungen - Kommunismus :) - kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Welche Unterhaltung sich die Leute in einem Restaurant erwarten, würde ich auch gerne wissen... Ein Clown auf einem Einrad ?

Besitzer und Bedienung ist sehr sympathisch und engagiert. Längere Wartezeiten im Mittags-Hauptgeschäft nehme ich aufgrund der leckeren Gerichte gerne in Kauf.

Falls wer mehr Infos haben möchte:
In meinem Profil gibt es einen Link zu meinem Blog. Dort gibt es einen Bericht mit Bildern zu diesem Lokal.

Enjoy !
Martina

Pros: super schmackhaftes Essen, 100 % vegan, preislich top

Awesome!

Had the daily menu, which featured a creamy soup with lots of greens, some of the best grain burgers I ever had, and vegan tsatsiki (!). No overwhelming soy taste in anything either (which may happen if they use lots of soya cream or yogurt). *Huge* servings, BTW. Considering not ordering the soup next time, even though it was awesome.
The staff was super friendly, and I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere after a day of moving.
Lots of great fruit juices, focussing on local products, and mineral water with real lemon juice. If you're interested in microbrewed beers, they have a nice selection of those too.

Pros: relaxing atmosphere, very good food, friendly staff

just rad!

first of all: 100% vegan - being for a few days in Graz, I had to try this!

well, apart from this initial quality, the place is super cozy, and the staff is young and extra friendly.

I had:

- an onion soup (daily one)
super tasty!

- a salad with grilled tofu
big, and so nice, with carrot petals, hummus, parsley pesto,
grilled mushrooms, apple, seeds and a delicious curry sauce.
tasty tofu, imagine that? and all that dressed with love

- a carrot-apple juice
bio, excellent

And to answer a critic: yes, I did wait a bit, but for a plate that was really dressed with love and care, every element being absolutely delicious - this does take time doesn't it?

In brief, just perfect for me! and really not expensive.

What could be even more incredibly fantastic would be to have on the menu some healthy dishes (lentil stew, seitan & veggies bowl, this kind of thing).

Pros: delicious, friendly, cozy

Cons: don't see any.

ich bedauere

dass ich nicht öfter dort sein kann, jetzt gibts sogar den wein vom knaus und bier mit unkraut drin, das unglaublich gut schmeckt (hermax mit schafgarbe), das mit hanf drin is nur was für leute, die den typischen hanfgeschmack mögen. alles an essen was ich so probiert hab (haussalat, tofuburger + pommes frites und ein tagesgericht dessen namen ich vergessen hab) war sehr sehr lecker. nur der falafelwrap war nicht wirklich falafel und auch nicht wirklich hummus. es hat sehr gut geschmeckt, allerdings würd ich eher sowas wie "nach art des hauses" oder so dazuschreiben. vielleicht bin ich auch zu pingelig, ich bin araberin, ich kenn das anders, sry :)
alles in allem: cafe erde, ich liebe dich.

Pros: sehr gutes essen, sehr nette menschen, alles pflanzlich

mediocre and hollow

well, the good thing is, it's 100% vegan. also not so expensive (portions are also not so rich)
when we ate there (we gave a try 2 times) it was rather dull taste, boring music, noone really communicating...
on the surface, it resembles a lively, young place.

Pros: good value

Cons: small portions, dull taste

Delicious

It's a pity I only spent two days in Graz and managed to eat at Cafe Erde only once. The carrot curry soup and muffin were delicious, the service friendly and fast. The menu seems to be small, but changes daily. Looking forward to the next visit!

Pros: delicious food, friendly and fast service, fully vegan!

Stylish atmosphere and delicious food!

Cafe Erde is a small, cozy Cafe in the inner city of Graz. They are serving a daily changing menu (7,9€) , including soup and salad but you can leave the soup (2,5€) away if you like. In the evenings you can choose your dishes from a menu card as well.
The food is very delicious and healthy too,the portions are good, the owner and the waiters are very friendly. Most of the time there is stylish lounge-music played in the Cafe which creates a cozy atmosphere. On fridays and weekends there are often served menus with seitan and soy (like schnitzel, soy-steaks or burgers), during the week it seem to be more vegetables on the plate. (for exaple, steamed vegetables with rice).
There are 1-2 delicious vegan cakes every day but they are not included in the menu. They are serving a lot of nice drinks and lemonades from regional producers.
You can sit outside the cafe if the weather is fine.
Opening Hours: Monday-Saturday 11:30-22:00, closed on Sundays.

Pros: good value, friendly staff, nice atmosphere
