Great buffet with lots of vegan dishes

Definitely try fhe buffet. Everything is labeled and the diversity is large. The kilogram price is ok compared to other sit-in restaurants

Great place for a quick healthy lunch.

The food was fresh, inexpensive, … a salad bar with an impressive range of fried and raw vegetables. The soup (Indian lentil soup) was delicious.

Pros: Quick , Fresh and healthy, Wide choice

Cons: The interior

Variedad en los platos

Es un vegetariano con bastantes opciones de comida diferente en el que pagas en función de lo que pesa tu plato. A tener en cuenta que el precio de los 100g varia según la hora. Vimos como bajaba 10 min después de haber pagado. El agua del grifo y las bebidas se pagan aparte.

Pros: Es vegetariano, Buen ambiente, Bien situado

Cons: Un poco caro en hora punta, El agua del grifo se paga

Excellent salad bar

They have a lot to choose from, and the everything looked fresh and clean.
The salad bar was very large for German standards, and the individual salads were creative and very well seasoned.
Most of the food is vegan, but there are enogh vegetarian options to please non-vegans.
A pro and a con at the same time is that you are charged by the weight of what you choose. Since it is buffet style, it is hard to guage how much you will end up paying until you get to the register.
The salad I had was 15 €.

Pros: Excellent salad bar

Cons: A bit pricey

Gesund Essen in Bonn

Sehr tolle Salatauswahl. Preislich gut (6€ kleine Portion, 11€ komplette Mahlzeit). Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre.

Ich war öfters hier alleine oder mit Freunden, und man findet eigentlich immer eine ruhige Ecke. Persönlich mag ich die 2. Etage, um dort in Ruhe zu essen und zu lernen. Die Tische sind groß.

Die Essensauswahl ist zwar immer ähnlich, aber es schmeckt immer gut. Man hat so viel Salatauswahl und so viele Geschmäcke in einer Bowl, das es spannend bleibt.

Pros: A lot of variety when it comes to salads , Quiet place with large tables, no one bothers you

Mehr als enttäuschend …

Also ich verstehe den Hype nicht so ganz entweder habe ich eine falsche Uhrzeit erwischt oder etwas falsches gegessen aber das hat alles nach ,,am Vortag waren wir grillen und es ist etwas übrig geblieben ,was 10 std in der Sonne stand’’ geschmeckt … sehr fad und matschig … bin echt enttäuscht ! Sogar wenn ich krank bin schmecke ich mehr !
Direkt eine Stunde nach dem Essen grüßte ich öfter die Toilette.
Also sorry aber das geht einfach garnicht.. ich hoffe ich hab da was falsches erwischt aber meiner Begleitung ging es ebenfalls so!
Habe auch nur die veganen Optionen gegessen!
Am liebsten würde ich 0 Sterne geben aber die App lässt das nicht zu.

Hallo Avatar Mischelka,
Cassius Garten ist schon seit 20 Jahren in Bonn. Wenn das Essen nicht gut wäre, wäre das kaum möglich. Dennoch gibt es schon mal matschiges Essen, wenn es zu lange warm gestellt war...

Delicious fresh veg meal

Lives up to the reputation. We dropped in around 4m on Saturday had salads warm dishes drinks vegan cake coffee - wonderful satvik food. Must be the quality ( despite the buffet) that makes everything healthy and tasty. Reasonable prices.

Pros: Taste, Choices, Service, good seating

Cons: Location is walking or mass transit only.

Classic veg-place since decades

Cassius Garten is classic in Bonn for vegetarians since more than 2 decades. The salad bar is fresh with interesting dressings, so are the warm dishes. It serves breakfast as well. Food is not organic. You pay by weight; plates go on a scale.

One of the #1 veggie addresses in Bonn

They have a large self-service buffet and you pay per weight. It can get expensive if you put very much on your plate, but their food is delicious, fresh, to a large extent organic, completely veggie with clearly marked vegan dishes and declared ingredients. In the last half hour or so before closing time, you can get away quite cheap, because they have a special offer on the "leftovers". They also offer catering.

Huge buffet with great seating

Great vegan selection and seating options. Pay by weight. The vegan options include salad, sweets, soups and selected hot food. One star removed because the lasagne wasn't vegan. I love lasagne and it is so easy to make vegan!

Pros: Lots of options , Great seating , Convenient location

Cons: Not all vegan

variety of vegan food

They offer a great variety of vegan food which is paid by weight, so you can mix it all (be careful: can become very expensive!). All vegan dishes (the majority) are clearly marked. What convinced me the most was the ice cream in the associated cafe. Everything was vegan and a lot of cream ice cream like walnut caramel, poppy seeds, nougat or chocolate. There have also many vegan cakes.

Pros: a lot of vegan options, vegan options are clearly marked, all organic

Cons: can become very expensive

Great Buffet & Café

Cassius Garten is located very central in the city centre of Bonn and has a buffet with a lot of vegan options. It offers many different vegan salads and a changing selection of warm dishes and soups. So it's great to go there for lunch.
Also it has a nice café-area with a great selection of vegan cake and ice-cream. They have vegan breakfast options, too. It's also great that the restaurant is very big. So there is enough room to sit even at a more busy time.
The only contra for me is, that it can be really expensive, if your plate gets too heavy :)

Pros: Big variety of vegan dishes, Nice Café, Central location

Cons: pricy

healthy, vegan labled, fresh food

i always enjoy cassius garten because of the big buffet option (when you have money) or the student-option during the week after 3pm where you can get a good plate for 5€ with the menu of the day. it's enough for lunch and budget friendly.

Pros: big selection which is very tasty, healthy and vegetarian, you have options for spending less money

Healthy food choices at the eco cantine.

The place is conveniently located right across the central station, so it is easy to just pass by and grab a bite or a full meal.

It has a self-service buffet style which makes it possible to choose just what you need or would like to taste. The payment per weight comes with the advantage that you can choose just as much as you need and can choose different components instead of getting one large meal. The downside is that you only know what you pay once the food gets weighed at the register.- Easily becomes a little surprise at the register. So just be aware.

There are fresh, healthy and tasty foods to choose from. Foods are labelled, but with some it was a bit confusing. A + for the salad bar!

What I don´t like about this place is the strong eco-cantine feeling that is mainly due to the buffet style and the interior. Functional, but not my style. Not creating a nice eating experience, which affect my rating. Good for a lunch or quick healthy bite on the way - no ambience for dining or staying longer.

-Passed by for the ice cream another time and was not disappointed.

Too expensive for what it is

I only eat here once and can't recommend it. It is quite expensive for what it is and vegan food is not clearly labeld. There are far better places in Bonn

Amazing for Vegan and Veggies

Great variety of different foodstyles with an amazing taste. There is also a Café with vegan cakes, icecream and more. For a vegan coffee they offer soy and oat milk. I can recommend it 100%.

Not bad at all

This is a buffet. There are vegan options, and they are clearly marked. It is healthy. The only problem for me personally is that it gets too expensive (you fill your plate and then they determine the price by weighting it).

There is also a cafe part, where you can buy vegan ice cream and some cakes.

great buffet

you can choose from a huge buffet and pay the weight of your plate. it is quite expensive in my opinion, but worth it. the atmosphere in the restaurant part upstairs is very nice.
I'm not sure wether the products are organic and/or fair trade.

Pros: huge buffet

Cons: quite expensive

Best vegan ice cream in Bonn

Cassius Garten definitely has the best vegan ice cream in Bonn. Since 2015 (or 2014?) all of the ice cream flavors and waffles in the café are vegan. Apart from the obvious fruit sorbets (coconut is the best in my opinion), you can also get flavors such as (soy) yoghurt, coffee, chocolate, noissette, licorice and others (subject to availability). I’ve also eaten several times in the restaurant and am a big fan of their salads (approx. 2/3 of the salads are vegan and clearly marked with a green dot). The only thing I do not like about Cassius Garten is that the price for food in the restaurant is determined by weight, so it can get quite expensive. I’d also recommend this place for people with food allergies/intolerances as all common allergens are clearly indicated. Staff is also very friendly and will gladly help you if you have any questions about the food.

Terrific vegetarian restaurant

I was in Bonn on business and made this great discovery--Cassius Garten. Entirely buffet, CG has both hot and cold dishes--including grains, fresh vegetables, vegie burgers, etc. etc.. It's a big space and was full for Saturday lunch the day I was there. I suspect there were many non-vegetarians; the restaurant seems to be popular. Well-located next to the central train station. Great food and an oasis for vegetarians in Bonn. Includes a bakery with delicious desserts, espresso.

Große Auswahl- guter Geschmack

Prima finde ich die klare Kennzeichnung der Speisen nach vegetarisch, vegan, laktosefrei usw. So findet jeder schnell das Gewünschte. Die Kantinen- / Bahnhofatmosphäre gefällt mir persönlich nicht so gut. Geschmacklich ist das Essen gut, man schmeckt die frischen Zutaten.
