Typical German and many vegan options

This is a typical German kitchen. Almost everything is fried. The first page of the menu is vegan. There are many vegan options. Starters, main courses and desserts are all vegan. The garlic bread is super tasty! Just like the fried breaded mushrooms with garlic cream. The German Schnitzels are made from soy pieces. They are large pieces. For that price I did not expect that. And it tastes good too. The staff is super friendly. We parked the car at Aldi süd where you can park for two hours for free. From there it is a 4 minute walk. At Aldi süd you can do your shopping right away because there are many vegan options.

Pros: Many vegan options, Typical German Schnitzel , Cheap

Absolutely amazing vegan menu

The vegan schnitzel comes with a delicious side salad, and a full serving of fries. Definitely get the mushroom cream sauce! They have a full vegan appetizer and entrée menu as well as ice cream or chocolate cake for dessert. Their wine list is quite nice as well. The owner will gladly talk to you through the menu and any seasonal offerings they have. We got lucky without a reservation, but I would strongly recommend calling before because our table for two was the only one not reserved. 

Pros: Full vegan menu, Kind and knowledgeable owner, Seasonal offerings

Outstanding

When I arrived without a reservation and they were full - they found a place for me to sit and eat. Reservations recommended! The food was sehr sehr gut! Ganz lecker! I had the tomato cream soup, a salad and schnitzel. For dessert- chocolate cake and ice cream. The chef was welcoming, warm and charming and the service was great. Don’t miss this 5 ⭐️ gem.

Pros: Vegan German food! , Very fresh salads , So many dessert options!

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at

VEGANS!!! This IS a 5 star restaurant, but the app won’t let me give 5, since it’s not 100% vegan. BUT THEY HAVE AN ENTIRE VEGAN MENU!!!

Get the vegan schnitzel with the cream sauce! It’s absolutely incredible! And honestly, I could eat about 10 of these salads too! The owner/chef is just the loveliest man, who even came to sit with me and show me all the vegan meals he makes for a vegan group that comes once a month. It’s worth driving if you’re not near, and if you are, get here now!!!

Pros: The owner, The salad, Vegan Schnitzel with cream sauce

Cons: Nothing.

Great food, knowledgeable staff

There is an entirely separate rotating vegan menu and the chef (maybe owner?) Came to talk to us about what they try to do with vegan options available. They even have vegan ice cream! It can be busy, so call ahead for a reservation.

Pros: Entire vegan menu, including dessert., Friendly staff

Cons: Tough to get a table

Überraschend gut

Überraschend lecker zubereitete vegane Gerichte. Wir hatten das panierte Bigsteak mit Pommes, Champignonsoße und Salat und die Panzerotti (gefüllte Teigtasche mit Spinat, Zwiebeln, Knoblauch und Vkäse). Als Dessert hatten wir das Schokotörtchen mit Vanilleeis und frischem Obst. Die Portion war genau richtig und das Essen durchweg lecker, nicht zu fettig oder überwürzt. Und das zu einem unschlagbaren Preis.
Sehr freundlicher Koch, der einem gerne über alle Zutaten Auskunft gibt und wirklich bemüht ist. Es gibt sogar einen veganen Stammtisch, für den er auch immer wieder neue Gerichte kreiert.
Also nicht von äußerlichem (sieht außen wie innen aus wie eine gutbürgerliche Gaststätte/Kneipe) abschrecken lassen, sondern unbedingt ausprobieren! Wir haben erst gezögert, ob wir es ausprobieren sollen (das ist nicht unsere bevorzugte vegane Küche), haben es aber definitiv nicht bereut!

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen. , preiswert, Parkplätze auch am Wochenende zu finden

Cons: Ambiente

Compliments to the Chef!

They offer an entire vegan menu with delicious German options. They have a very creative menu with several vegan options to include appetizers, main dishes and desserts. We had the vegan schnitzel and although it was quite large, we ate it all because it was so good. The mushroom appetizer was delicious. I didn't have enough room for dessert so I will be back to try everything on the vegan menu. The service and atmosphere was also very good and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend eating here.

Pros: An entire vegan menu, Appetizers and dessert, Creative German dishes

german dish veganized

Building appears inconspicious from the outside but offers a nice vegan menu including classical german dishes like schnitzel with chips and cream sauce. They also had tasty home-made vegan ice cream including chocolate and peanut-flavour!

Ein Muss für Veganer!

Das Essen hier ist einfach grandios! Es gibt eine vegane Standardkarte basierend aus verschieden Vor-, Haupt- und Nachspeisen. Zusätzliche variiert das Angebot regelmäßig und einzelne neue Gerichte kommen immer wieder hinzu. Man merkt, dass der Koch sich darum bemüht neue vegane Produkte auszuprobieren und leckere Speisen zu kreieren. Die Portionen sind sehr groß und trotzdem günstig. Absolute Empfehlung!

Pros: Abwechslungsreiche vegane Optionen, Kartenzahlung möglich , Günstig

Super lecker

Kann mich den anderen Bewertungen nur anschließen. Von außen und innen würde man traditionelle deutsche Kost erwarten aber sie zaubern wahnsinnig leckere vegane Gerichte und es gibt auch Nachtisch - das Vanilleeis war hausgemacht und super lecker.

Pros: Sehr freundlich, Sehr lecker , Extra vegane Karte

Love this place!

First, they have several options for vegans, and they’re not just sides of veggies. They have a vegan schnitzel, which is fantastic! Also, when we told our server how much we loved the food, she informed the chef, who came out to talk to us. Lovely people, lovely food, adorable atmosphere.

Pros: Plenty of options, Great staff, Nice atmosphere

DELICIOUS VEGAN OPTIONS

I have tasted the Tomato Cream Soup and the Panzerotti with spinach, onions and garlic vegan cheese.
It was really delicious!
The staff really nice. The waitress help me to choose what to eat and the cook interested on having my opinion about the dishes.
100% recommendable

Great option in Kaiserslautern

What a fantastic surprise to find such a vegan friendly option in the small town of Kaiserslautern! I had been avoiding German food restaurants thinking they would not be vegan friendly - here was the perfect spot to enjoy local fare & atmosphere in a plant based way. The bulgur patties were not the best I’ve had but the croquettes and sauce were fantastic. Affordability and unpretentious village vibes were a big plus too. Would go again anytime.

Solides Essen

Gut bürgerliches Restaurant dem man von außen und innen keine Vegane Karte zutraut. Das Essen war günstig und lecker. Gibt auch Veganes Eis. Würde hier wieder essen.

Vegan menu

It was nice to find a restaurant that has a full vegan menu, the staff was nice, spoke english, the food needed little more seasoning but nothing that salt and pepper won't fix it.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Excellent vegan menu

We live in Kaiserslautern and visit the restaurant regularily. It's excellent, and the staff is very friendly. They have a seperate vegan menu which is updated once a month.

This is clearly the best dining option for vegans in and around Kaiserslautern. It's not fine dining though, rather an affordable, cosy neighbourhood restaurant.

I'd rive 5 stars, but happy cow doesn't allow that for places serving meat.

Pros: seperate vegan menu, veganized german dishes + pizza/panzerotti, you won't leave hungry!

Cons: serves meat. but you won't find a vegan place here

Vegan German cuisine!

This cafe-like restaurant is charming because it felt so German to us. There was a seperate vegan menu with all kinds of dishes and the chef even came out to explain some of them. They are clearly "veganized" versions of regular dishes, using mock-steak and vegan cheese. Very tasty, however some dishes were quite salty. Maybe that's just German cuisine? They also keep refreshing the menu with new options. We enjoyed our dinner enough to come back a second time!

Pros: Veganized versions of classic dishes, Lovely staff and personal approach, Cheap

Cons: Sometimes a bit too salty for us

Wonderful place

Great! We had dinner there a week ago and given the location (Kaiserslautern!), I was more than surprised to find an excellent separate vegan menu. This is not your run-of-the-mill curry/Thai etc place: they do have unique vegan creations. The panzerotti was great. I've never had something like it before. The tofu in a sour white sauce was also great and unusual, and the bulgur/roast veg meal another friend had was also great, only the risotto was nothing special. The vibe is "provincial neighbourhood pub from the 1950s". Brilliant place. Should have five stars, but because they also serve meat, Happy Cow will only allow a maximum of four. Almost worth a visit to Kaiserslautern.
