Vegan Dining in Munich: 6 Great Restaurants

Even though Munich does not quite reach the level of vegan hotspots like Berlin, it still offers a diverse selection of cafés and restaurants with various interpretations of vegan cuisine.

The Lost Weekend is located around the corner from the university and is especially popular with students. However, for all vegans, this modern, hip café with its strikingly high ceilings is a hidden gem.

Here you can order your matcha latte, chai latte, or cappuccino with a wide variety of vegan milk alternatives like soy, oat, almond, or coconut milk.

Additionally, there are vegan snacks and cake variants for a quick bite and free Wi-Fi.

Lost Weekend | Address: Schellingstraße 3, 80779 Munich | Hours: Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM, Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM

Many automatically think of vegan food as being very light and mostly consisting of vegetables, aimed at keeping the waistline trim. However, Bodhi in the Westend proves that vegan can also be deliciously hearty, making you crave a digestif afterwards.

Everything is vegan here and partly inspired by Bavarian home cooking. Dishes include vegan versions of Kässpatzn, Kaiserschmarrn, or Schnitzel, and the much-hyped 'Beyond Meat Burger', gyros, and various salads are also on offer.

Bodhi | Address: Ligsalzstraße 23, 80339 Munich | Hours: Monday to Sunday from 5 PM to midnight

If you love unusual combinations, healthy foods, and lots of vegetables, Gratitude on Türkenstrasse is the place for you. Starters might include Shiitake, broccoli, or green asparagus tempura, and main courses could feature braised kohlrabi, celery purée, and oyster mushrooms with arugula pumpernickel.

In any case, you can enjoy a deluxe vegan dinner in a cozy atmosphere!

As the name suggests, the Tushita Teahouse places great emphasis on high-quality tea and its preparation. It also offers a balanced and healthy breakfast, such as roasted granola with fresh berries and yogurt.

Alternatively, you can enjoy cooked millet with sliced coconut, hemp seeds, black sesame, cranberries, and Californian almonds. Additionally, there are homemade vegan cakes and desserts.

You'll find classic Vietnamese dishes in Hippie Chay prepared entirely vegan. This includes a delicious Bao Burger with the Beyond Meat patty or dumplings with oyster mushroom filling, as well as a traditional curry with tofu and sweet potatoes.

Also cool: Hippie Chay does not use plastic straws, and paper towels are replaced with sustainable alternatives. It truly lives up to its name!

Hippie Chay | Address: Martin-Luther-Straße 8, 81539 Munich | Hours: Monday from 5 PM to 10:30 PM, Tuesday to Friday from 12 PM to 2:30 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM, Saturday from 5 PM to 11 PM, Sunday from 12 PM to 10 PM

Named after Prof. Dr. Max von Pettenkofer, who helped make Munich one of the cleanest cities in Europe, the vegan restaurant Max Pett adheres to his philosophy and does not serve alcohol.

But that's no problem because you can indulge in vegan dishes instead. The lunch menu changes regularly, and the menu features dishes like gnocchi in Lax soy cream with walnut parmesan and salad ('Lax' is the vegan version of salmon!).

There are also Bavarian dishes like Brezenknödel and Obazda made entirely vegan, and the cakes and tarts come highly recommended.

Max Pett | Address: Pettenkoferstraße 8, 80336 Munich | Hours: Monday to Friday from 11:30 AM to 11 PM, Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 11 PM
