Wow! - Edit
Great, creative vegan gourmet kitchen. During my -so far - only visit I had a 4 course dinner. Really every single course was great, a phantastic combination of ingredients. I would not hesitate to take omnivores here as well in another subtle attempt to convince them to change they eating habits ;-) .
Read moreVery friendly service as well. When I called them up since I did not find the restaurant right away the guy on the phone figured I was close and came out to pick me up.
This place is already on my list for my next visit to Berlin... whenever that will be!
Pros: great food, creative kitchen, friendly service

Great traditional German (but vegan!) food! - Edit
Kopps is such a great value- creative, yummy food; awesome atmosphere; friendly service; and very moderate prices. It's an awesome way to get a taste of traditional German food without involving animals! I went with my vegetarian (skeptical of veganism) boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Would definitely be suitable for omnivores as well.
Read moreThe currywurst tasted like real hot dogs, and the rice pudding was to die for. I had to get the vegan cheese plate, which was a little pricey but very, very good.
Kopps is a must if you're visiting Berlin!
Pros: traditional German food, great food, great value
Cons: server's English not great

Tasty! - Edit
We didn't plan to go here, but after a photography exhibit we were quite hungry, so I used the happy cow app to see what was around. We arrived almost at the end of lunch, but the roulade was quite delicious, and for the price of about 8euros, the portion was just right. It included a small soup as well. I would definitely go back the next time in Berlin, as I can imagine it must be quite nice in the evening.
Read morePros: great sauces, perfectly cooked potatoes, price
Cons: I only had a chance to go once!

Nice restaurant - Edit
I've been here a few times and have had mixed experiences.
Read moreMy first couple of visits were on a Saturday night and we had a fantastic meal in a great atmosphere and although the prices were a little higher than the average prices for Berlin, it was worth it. Although 100% vegan, this isn't explicitly advertised. On both occasions was a vegan interpretation of traditional German dishes and would have pleased any die-hard meat-eaters who happened to drop in for a meal, unaware of the vegan menu.
We also went for brunch once, which we found a little dissapointing. It was mainly bread and spreads (nothing special) with a few salad items, some baked beans and scrambled 'eggs' and some pancakes.
The last time we went, we didn't enjoy the meal at all. I took my parents and the food was unimaginative and bland. We were rather embarrassed so we didn't say anything and perhaps didn't give the waiting staff, who were very friendly and attentive, a fair chance to deal with the situation. We felt that although the food was reasonable, it certainly wasn't worth the high prices that they were charging. We also noticed that, despite it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was noticeably quieter compared to when we had last been - perhaps a sign.
Pros: Great location, Vegan traditional German meals
Cons: Quite pricey

Great food & family-friendly - Edit
I went there for brunch on a Sunday. We arrived at 10.30am without reservation and it was no problem getting a table. However, an hour later the place was completely packed.
Read moreThe choice of vegan food was fantastic, the taste excellent. I absolutely loved the baked beans but liked everything else too. (I passed on the items which looked like meat though, which were few.)
The price for the brunch (€ 10,90 excluding beverages) seemed fair to me.
Update: I just went there again, this time for dinner. We were 8 people including 3 children who weren't very keen on trying something new. The waiter was incredibly nice and helpful to find something the children would like. The food was excellent.

Solid Berlin style food! - Edit
There is a german term called "Hausmannskost" and when I turned vegan that was the the thing that irked me the most. I simply loved to eat hearty food laden with bacon and brown sauces. Excuse me! Then I discoverd Kopps and I knew this is the place to go when I deed to emulate my moms German cooking! I had a typical Berlin dish: Bouletten and Schmorgurken - a type of hamburger patty with cooked cucumber in cream sauce with mashed potatoes and my world was okay. I have no wont for meat, it is all possible. The egg salad is especially delicious and last time I was there they had a cordon bleu (the German would say "zum niederknien") worth worshipping. The portions are huge, if you order a starter you might want to opt on sharing a main course. There is an ample alkohol selection as well a cocktails - what more could one want. A great place to take even meat eaters, they'll love it!
Read moreI'd like to sum it up by mentioning the well trained staff - something you don't always get in Berlin.
Pros: Regional products, 100% vegan, friendly staff
Cons: pricey

very good! - Edit
Nice atmosphere, posh place and cheerful waiters..and excellent food! I was really curious to try veganized german food and I liked it very much, despite the dishes are a bit too heavy for my tastes.. I struggled to finish everything!
Read moreWe started with the breadbasket with vegan egg salad, really tasty. Then we had two soups (delicious), the truffle potato-leek strudel and the cordon bleu, both excellent.. we could finish there but we wanted to try a dessert, the Stribli..very good but nothing compared with the other things we ate.. I surely recommend it!
Pros: tasty, nice staff, big portions

ok but a bit overrated - Edit
after all those reviews and actually owning the owners cookbook - i was actually a bit disappointed by kopps.
Read morewe went there for lunchtime and the staff seemed a bit reluctant to serve us - the choice of food was ok but when we got the dishes, it seemed like we could have cooked it ourselves at home - which is generally not a problem, but when it is actually quite pricey for the amount of food, it's not so great.

Great place to vegan versions of German food - Edit
We had dinner at Kopps on a Monday night. We booked ahead, as we heard the place is often busy, but found that it wasn't that full when we arrived.
Read moreWe were very keen to try as many german dishes as possible and had a bit of difficulty choosing between the different starters, and so opted to go for three mains between two us - sharing one of them as a starter. We went for the dumplings with mushrooms in a creamy sauce, stewed cucumber (with meatballs - called burgers and mashed potato), and the cordon bleu (chicken-style fake meat coated with bread crumbs and stuffed with peppers) with mash potatoes.
The dumpling dish was really delicious - and felt like an authentic german dish. The nature of the dish means it is quite hard for it to look beautiful on a plate, but there was a really pleasant mixture of flavours and textures. I think most vegans would enjoy this dish - including those who like fake-meat and those who don't.
The stewed cucumber dish looked very nice on the plate, and had a good mix of textures, and felt authentically german, but the flavours weren't to my liking (though think some may enjoy it). The sauce in which the cucumbers were cooked was quite sour. The meatballs (called burgers) contained a mix of what seemed to be smoked tofu and seitan pieces. The texture was very meaty - but I didn't enjoy them as much as many of the more common soya meats.
The Cordon Bleu dish was really tasty. The fake meat bit was really nice (tasted kind of like what I imagine a chicken schnitzel would taste like), the mash potatoes were really creamy, the gravy was delicious, and the other accompanying vegetables (carrot, shallots, spring onions) were cooked to perfection.
Staff were friendly and helpful, and guided us through the difficult decision of what to eat, though it sometimes took a little bit longer than we hoped to get served.
Overall, we were very happy with this experience, and think any veggie in Berlin wanting to get an authentic taste of German food should definitely give this place a try.
Pros: Nice Decor, Authentic German Style dishes, Good Value
Cons: Service can be a little slow

great! - Edit
Vegans, you'll love this place! Conveniently located around the corner from the apartment where we are staying and near Rosenthalen Platz, this restaurant has a chic atmosphere and good food. We were served a pepper soup complimentary and then had the dumplings with chantelles and fava beans and the cordon bleu. Both were tasty, good portions and animal free. Service was good. Wouldn't have minded some A/c after the warm day outside but can't complain considering. The herb tea and the brewed soda were refreshing too.

Great restaurant, tasy food, make sure you book! - Edit
Lovely restaurant in central Berlin with a good choice of food and alcohol and a nice ambience. My partner and I had spotted this on Happy Cow before our trip and made sure we visited, but we (stupidly) just showed up expecting to get a table on the evening - how wrong we were! The place was packed, and is obviously really popular with locals and tourists alike. However, the staff were very accommodating, and we were allowed to eat at one of the 'waiting area' tables, as we had looked so disappointed that they were fully booked! The food was delicious, and all the alcohol was also vegan. I would definitely recommend Kopp's to anyone visiting Berlin.

Good solid restaurant - Edit
Had dinner here on a Monday evening with my partner. I wasn't expecting a whole lot because it mainly serves German cuisine with a vegan twist and I've never been a big fan of German food to say the least. That our meal turned out quite good was a pleasant surprise.
Read moreUpon ordering, our waitress brought us some bread with an interesting dip that had the look and texture of egg salad. I was intrigued so I asked the staff. Turned out it was orzo pasta made with hummus. I thought it was creative although tasted bit bland. Then we had the steamed half artichoke heart topped with tomato-avocado salsa for starter. It was great but the salsa portion was a little scanty. We ordered two mains to share: the servietteknödel topped with chanterelle sauce and the cordon bleu. Both were tasty and came in a generous portion. To round off the evening we also had the mille feuille for dessert, which proved to be a disappointment. Wasn't quite what I had had in mind, it was basically two big globs of lemony whipped cream sandwiched between some kind of crackers. On the side there were some berries sitting on more globs of cream. That was it.
Both of us liked the setting and the decor, simple but detailed. Service was professional and cordial. We didn't have drinks and paid 42 Euro for our meal. Very reasonable.
P.S. We actually headed over to the ice cream shop next door after. They had a couple vegan flavors. I got the johannisbeere and really liked it. Check it out!
Pros: good value, nice decor, friendly service
Cons: weak dessert

Posh place with medium-food - Edit
My parents met the chef of this restaurant at some vegetarian expo and loved him, his food and his cookbook. Therefore they asked me to check out the restaurant when I visited Berlin this summer. Me, my partner, and a friend went there on a Tuesday night. We had made a reservation in advance (they have a neat online system for this) but the place wasn't too busy anyway. The location and atmosphere are definitely pretty posh, especially for a vegan restaurant. My partner order Serviettenknödel with chanterelle sauce, I order Maultaschen (a kind of giant German ravioli) with chanterelles, and our friend got some kind of vegetables on sculpted mashed potatoes (it had some fancy Italian name). My partner really liked her dish, and me and our friend agreed after trying it. My dish was medium: the Maultaschen didn't taste that great but they came with a very interesting side dish of greens. Our friend ended up with the worst meal: while the mashed potatoes were very tasty, the whole dish was just rather boring. In addition, all the portion sizes were on the small side. For dessert, we ordered coconut creme brulée with blueberries and tapioca to share which was excellent.
Read moreOverall I was a bit disappointed. Personally, I probably wouldn't go back there, as the money to value ratio just doesn't work for me. However, if you're looking for a vegan restaurant that is decidedly non-crunchy this is a good option.
Pros: nice atmosphere, good location
Cons: portion sizes small, pricier than the food justifies

Fancy - Edit
This was the most posh vegan place in my European vacation (the opposite of Yoyo Foodworld) and the food was quite good. I ended up going there twice in late May, once for lunch and once for late dinner. Both meals were good and the atmosphere was very nice. Waitstaff were friendly. My only complaint is that the selections are few, and, like many veg places in Germany at that time of year, prominently features at least one spargel-themed dish (I am not a fan of spargel, which is a kind of bland white asparagus).

This is the (still new) restaurant of the Berlin celebrity vegan chef Björn Moschinski.
Read moreThe Kopps offers gourmet quality good plain German cuisine (gutbürgliches [deutsches] Essen), 100% vegan, 100% delicious, at quite acceptable prices. Totally nice, totally uBerlin. Without any doubt, it can be stated that the Kopps is one of the veg(etari)an metropolis Berlin highlights.

I will go every time I'm in Berlin - Edit
Love this place. I have been there twice as I have only been to Berlin twice! Sunday brunch was amazing. Make sure you have reservations- we were given a table for a later time when we arrived without one.
Read moreThe buffet was great! Worth the wait to try veganized traditional German food. Very heavy fake meat/dairy though, which may turn some people off. I ate so much, it was fantastic.
Staff were rude, we never were asked about drinks or given water despite everyone else having it. Thankfully, the head chef sat us and he was a very happy man!
I went back again for a weekday lunch and had mushroom-walnut ravioli, my omni-partner had the daily special: a simple soup, salad, and pasta, and said it was the best meal he had in a long time. Service was much better this time.
Not cheap, but very affordable for the quality!
Pros: Delicious, Atmosphere, Traditional style German food
Cons: Staff can be rude

A fantastic night - great food and atmosphere - Edit
I went here last week with a large group, and the restaurant has a very modern feel about it. The tables were set very beautifully and it felt very classy.
Read moreThere were two menus to choose from: the "daily" menu or the "weekly" menu. Everything looked delicious and it was difficult to choose. The drinks menu was also extensive. I decided on a main and a dessert, and both were very good.
I had a vegan cordon-bleu, and this was the first time I've eaten a mock-meat kind of dish since becoming vegan. It was completely delicious but a little bit strange to me because it reminded me so much of eating chicken. The mashed potatoes and sides were delicious. I had the apple "pancakes" for dessert, which looked nothing like I expected but tasted devine. You can see pictures of both of my meals in the pictures for this restaurant.
My sister had a chocolate mousse and she loved it - it looks pretty good, don't you think? My sister is also a vegan and she loved this restaurant, claiming it to be her "favourite restaurant in the world". The food and atmosphere were great. I wish we had the chance to return for breakfast too! Next time I'm in Germany, perhaps! :)
Pros: excellent food, seasonal menu, helpful staff

Great place - Edit
Wow, Kopps is wonderful. As we were visiting Germany we didn't know about calling ahead for reservations. Luckily, they sat us. The decor of Kopps is very nice. It is very stylish and yet comfortable. The service was really good. Our server was very pleasant and helped us with translation of the menu. Kopps is on the higher end of restaurants but it is well worth it. We ended up coming back the next day for breakfast....it was that good! If you live in Berlin or visiting, I recommend Kopps.

Exellent brunch - Edit
We had a Vegan brunch at Kopp's and were very pleasantly surprised since we found the place just by scrolling the neighborhood.
Read moreThe food was excellent and there was a great variety to choose from. As they say on their web-pages there are many vegan versions of the German cousine as well as delicious fresh bread, soja yoghurt, muesli, fruit salad, pancakes etc. and various salads to choose from. The brunch cost around 10e per person.
We were very pleased so highly recommended. As the place is popular a reservation is a must; which can also be done online.
As someone noted this is not the place for raw food enthousiasts.
Pros: taste, variety, price
Cons: busy

Amazing plain fare with an elegant ambiance - Edit
I loved this place! I visited the new vegan restaurant in Berlin some weeks after they opened and I was thrilled. Like my non vegan friends who had this stupid prejudice that vegan food can't taste delicious. Visiting "Kopps" made them change their minds! I had a polish goulash which tasted very much like my childhood and grandma's food! The service is also good - just a bit too many people asking the same question. "Kopps" is not a cheap restaurant but quiet reasonable. The ambiance is elegant, something which you can't take for granted in vegan restaurants in Berlin!

The only kop I like - Edit
in 8 words:
Read morethe best vegan place I have ever eaten!
some more:
Although I have never eaten fish or meat, but at least I now know how it should taste. I had a amazing tuna salad followed by filled grilled tofu rolls with classic potatoes and red cabbage (with great sauce!), really strange desert: cold Forrest fruits (sorbet/sauce like) with marzipan eggs on top. And I even forgot to mention the "egg"salad witch better than the real thing.
kopps has a great interior design and a nice atmosphere, I could sit there all night long. Don't forget asking for the wine list.
Pros: good food, big portions, affordable
Cons: i don't live in Berlin

Different - Edit
My last review was removed for no know reason but I will post as similar a review as I can remember:
Read moreThe restaurant and staff were very nice, central easy to get to location, pretty good prices and large portion sizes.
However for a lifelong vegan the meal made me feel ill, It looked exactly like non vegan food, including scrambled egg and different types of meat. Supposedly the food tasted just like meat also. So if you are a new veggie/vegan and miss meat then this is most certainly the restaurant for you! However if the thought of non vegan foods is not pleasant to you then go somewhere else.
For me this was the worst meal of my life in a restaurant.
Pros: portions, restaurant, price
Cons: food like meat
