Plant-Based Dining: 11 Vegan Restaurants in Munich Where Enjoyment Meets Quality

Vegan doesn’t mean we have to go without Bavarian specialties. At Bodhi, you can treat yourself to a delicious schnitzel, a hearty wild mushroom ragout, or tasty dumplings —all in a purely plant-based form. Here, traditional, hearty cuisine meets vegan indulgence. And the dessert highlight: fluffy Kaiserschmarrn, made entirely without animal ingredients.

Next up are some hearty treats: At Doctor Drooly, the best vegan pizza in town awaits you! Prepared with fresh and mostly organic ingredients, you can dig in here with a clear conscience. All pizzas are vegan and feature plant-based cheese and meat alternatives. The sourdough is fermented for 54 hours to achieve a crispy, fluffy crust. If you’d rather have just a slice to go instead of a whole pizza, stop by the Slice Shop on Adlzreiterstraße.

Sushi fans, take note: At Secret Garden, you can enjoy your favorite rice rolls without any fish or meat , because they serve exclusively vegan sushi here! Inspired by Japanese cuisine, the sushi is made with red wild rice, which offers more nutrients than conventional rice and has a nutty flavor. You can also look forward to a wide selection of dumplings, fusion bowls, soups, and wok dishes. The restaurant is just a few steps away from the Viktualienmarkt and offers a pleasant atmosphere thanks to its stylish decor.

Padme Hum in Isarvorstadt keeps things Asian. Here you’ll find vegan Asian fusion dishes like curry, sushi, or pho. The menu features not only tofu dishes but also plant-based versions of “chicken” and “shrimp.” The vegan duck is especially recommended—it’s every bit as good as the original. Padme Hum also stands out for its creative cocktails, which you can enjoy in the outdoor seating area when the weather is nice.

Since opening in 2016, Emmi’s Kitchen has carved out a solid niche in the vegan dining scene. Here you can enjoy delicious dishes like burgers, salads, breakfast classics such as pancakes and granola, as well as homemade cakes and cinnamon rolls. Freshness and quality are top priorities here! You’ll find this vegan hotspot at two locations in Munich—in the Glockenbachviertel and in Schwabing—and now also in Augsburg.

Sustainability and quality are at the heart of Green Beetle’s concept. This exclusive vegetarian-vegan restaurant in Munich, part of the Käfer Group, holds a Michelin star.

Max Pett offers a varied selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that can be enjoyed on the restaurant’s terrace (cozy blankets are available for cooler days). A Bavarian breakfast without animal products? No problem! With Greenforce white sausage, pretzels, sweet mustard, and Alsan “butter,” nothing stands in the way of a hearty meal. The deliciousness continues at lunch: treat yourself to the Viennese-style soy schnitzel, a burger with a Beyond Meat patty, and many other delicious options. Round it all off with a tempting vegan cheesecake.

At Soy Vegan in Munich, you can enjoy Vietnamese cuisine in a purely plant-based form. The diverse menu includes, among other things, coconut milk soup with tender tofu and vegetables, crispy fried dumplings, creamy crème brûlée, and much more. Tofu is used predominantly in the preparation of the dishes—but don’t worry, bland tofu is unheard of here. Soy Vegan uses a wide range of spices to perfectly round out every dish.

The Lost Weekend is probably familiar to anyone who hangs out in the university district from time to time. Its offshoot in the Bahnhofsviertel, however, is known to very few. At A Little Lost, you’ll literally be back in the classroom, since the furniture comes straight from a classroom and gives the place a hipster vibe. They serve a vegan breakfast featuring paninis or oatmeal, sweet cakes, and, of course, great coffee. And if you can’t find a seat at this café, no problem: With A Little West, you’ll find another sister location of The Lost Weekend in the Westend—also completely vegan.

If you’d rather pet animals than eat them when dining out, you should stop by the Katzentempel. The menu is completely vegan and ranges from snacks and cakes to burgers and salads as main courses, all the way to seasonal delicacies. You’ll always be surrounded by the cute temple cats, which you can pet and play with. And if you’re looking for something truly unique, you should check out cat yoga in Freiham, where a vegan brunch awaits you afterward.

The name sounds very German, but in fact, Kartoffelkönig serves Turkish cuisine —and it’s completely meat-free. The seitan döner is fully vegan and a must-try for all kebab lovers among you. But other delicious dishes await you as well, such as lahmacun, cigköfte, or moussaka. And for those looking for the potato that gives the restaurant its name: At Kartoffelkönig, you’ll find kumpir with various vegan toppings, such as corn, olives, or falafel.
