Amazing!

It is a self-service restaurant with a lot of options to choose from (many salads and other main dishes). All are very delicius. Deserts are all vegan and yummy, not to sweet which is a major plus for us! There are always a lot of different cakes. There's a water that you can refill anytime, very trendy and clean place, friendly staff. Please visit this restaurant if you are in Graz, it never disappoints! I really really recommend it.

Pros: A lot of options to choose from, Clean, trendy place

best vegan/vegetarian food in town 🌞

Amazing buffet-style restaurant offering a huge variety of high quality vegan & vegetarian food like salads, curries, traditional international & Austrian dishes. Price is determined by the weight of the plate so it can get expensive if its really loaded. Their cake section is on the more expensive side, but tastes amazing! 🍰

Excellent food

Ginko is Graz' most traditional and first vegetarian restaurant, open since decades and very popular. You serve yourself from the buffet (salads, soup, main dishes) and pay per weight at the cash desk. Salads offer a great variety including regional Styrian pumpkinseed oil and there are one or two soups to choose. Several of the main dishes are Indian like curry or pakora, others traditional European, also casseroles, stews and pasta. Food is generally superb there and the variety is ample. Most of it is vegan, there are some vegetarian dishes too, so be sure to check the labels (pots are labeled gluten free, dairy free or vegan).
Food is rather expensive. For water, you pay 50 cents for the glass and can refill for free (pure water or decently flavored by cut fruit).

Pros: Excellent taste, Cozy atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

A vegetarian restaurant that is almost completely vegan.

The food is very good and you pay it per weight. Hence, it may be a little bit expensive.

You have to try the cake! They are awesome!

Pros: Vegan Cakes!

I come here regularly for vegan food

A large choice of different vegan (and some vegetarian) food, that changes continously, but remains always on a high level! Leans somewhat toward Indian style, but also has mediteranean and "local" style food in vegan version. Plus always a substantial salad section. Really always more choices than I can select on a given day. Since going vegan I have somewhat lost my sweet tooth, but when I go for it, I also like the vegan desserts a lot. While it is listed here as medium price I think for the quality of the food, and if you choose right, it is actually possible to eat vegan on a budget here. While it attracts quite a number of customers at peak times, I have never had trouble to find a table, neither on my own or in a group of four.

Pros: large selection of vegan (and some vegetarian) foo, high quality, tasty, fair price

Cons: there aren't really any, except perhaps: not so easy for a large group

Great Buffet and Salad - lot's of vegan stuff!

Might be my favourite go-to restaurant. It has lot's of vegan options including cake and pie. It's often crowded during lunch hour so you might want to go a little bit later if you like a more relaxed atmosphere.

Pros: Salad, Lot's of vegan options

Cons: Often crowded

Wer Buffets mag wird es hier lieben

Short summary in english:
This place offers vegetarian and vegan food in form of a buffet. There are different dishes to choose from. A lot of vegan desserts are also waiting for you. Graz oldest vegetarian restaurant with constant quality.

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

Das Konzept ist schnell erklärt: Schnapp dir einen Teller, bewege dich rund um das Buffet und nimm was das Herz / der Magen begehrt. Der Preis ergibt sich aus dem Gewicht des Tellers. Sich täglich ändernde Gerichte lassen keine Langeweile aufkommen.

Die Qualität der Speisen ist beeindruckend konstant. Es gibt veganes, vegetarisches und etwas zwischendrin. Alle Gerichte sind markiert zB als vegan, mit Laktose, mit Soja etc. Ideal für alle Menschen mit Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeiten.

Wer das Buffet hinter sich hat, kommt nun zum schwierigsten Teil: die Kuchentheke. Auch hier lächeln einem veganen Köstlichkeiten an. Zum Abschluß noch einen Getreidekaffee und man verabschiedet sich mit einem breiten Grinsen im Gesicht.

Empfehlenswert: täglich wechselnde indische Gerichte

Habe schon oft dort gespeist und bin noch nie enttäuscht worden.

Wer gerne noch weitere Infos zum Ginko hätte, wird auf meiner Website (siehe Profil) fündig. Einen Bericht mit Bildern gibt es dort.

Enjoy !
Martina

Pros: große Auswahl an Gerichten, preislich fair, leckere vegane Mehlspeisen

Cons: mittags ziemliches Gedränge

Delicious nutritious food

Absolutely worth eating there! :) My sister and I had a wonderful lunch there :) Big choice of everything a vegan heart desires! The price depends on the weight of the food but it's absolutely fair.

I've nothing bad to say :)

Pros: fair prices, big choice, great taste

A+++++

My absolute favorite vegetarian restaurant in the world. I never leave without being terribly stuffed, because I just have to try EVERY VEGAN THING from the buffet. Also, try the grain coffee with soymilk (and pumpkin spice syrup)! yum. :)

Pros: lots of variety, good labeling, excellent desserts

Cons: a bit crowded around lunch time, literally no other cons., really.

My favouritest restaurant ever

Yes, it's a buffet, but the food is gourmet and the most delicious I have ever tasted. There are so many vegan dishes that, if I only take a tablespoon of each, I end up with a full plate (and I always want to try everything that is vegan). Very few of the dishes aren't vegan and they're labelled as such. Every day there are a few Indian options, many Austrian and some Mediterranean dishes. I especially love their mushroom dishes. The cakes are delicious, but quite expensive. Drinks are expensive as well (which goes for the whole Austria), but a glass of water costs €0.20 with free refills (water is flavoured with apple, cucumber, carrot, and orange slices, mint leaves etc.).

Pros: delicious, hearty, comfort food, delicious cakes, friendly staff

Cons: quite pricey, especially the cakes

It's a nice vegetarian/vegan Place there. It's a Self-Service menue and it's very low-priced. Nothing special but a nice place for a quick meal.

Great place

A buffet format where you select from a wide range of hot and cold foods and pay by weight. The food quality at Ginko is very good indeed. Most items were vegan and very clearly marked. Great selection of desserts - the vegan tiramisu was one of the nicest luxury cream cakes I have ever had. Clean and reasonably spacious premises a quick and safe walk from the centre. So good we ate here on two of our nights rather than exploring the surprisingly wide choice of vegan alternatives in this lovely city.

Pros: Food quality, Vegan cream cakes
