Street Food Guide Germany 2024: The Best Vegetarian and Vegan Street Food in Cologne
Perhaps the best noodle soup store in Cologne, not least because of the delicious vegan cakes, which are served alongside various dishes with homemade udon noodles, tempura (on rice with sauce!), kimchi, pickled tofu and vegetables - all 100 percent plant-based.
Even after 14 years, owner Thu Khuê Pham never tires of delighting her guests with new and exciting creations. What makes it special: everything here is organic, vegan and without any flavour enhancers. You have to try the vegan duck and the "Vrikadellen".
Friendly, purely vegan pizza and comfort food restaurant on the first floor of the historic 4711 building in Ehrenfeld. Not only the dough, but also the plant-based cheeses are homemade and the ingredients are sourced – wherever possible - from local producers and suppliers.
Cologne's first purely vegan pizzeria has been making waves since its launch. There's never a dull moment here, especially when it comes to toppings; the carbonara is topped with bacon substitute, plant-based parmesan and vegan egg - tasty!
In Vietnamese, Tô means "bowl". It's best to come with friends, as there are many small and large plates, bowls and trays filled with a wide variety of vegan dishes - salads, fried food, creative dishes, sushi - ready for you to feast on.
Anyone who has ever heard of Straight Edge knows that punk rock and vegan food have long gone hand in hand. This is also the case in this trendy Kalk pub. Cream schnitzel, currywurst, gyros and burgers are served here in a purely plant-based version.
For owner Hakan Albayrak, a sushi enthusiast with Turkish roots, vegan makis and rolls are not only a healthy alternative, but also a philosophy of life. Instead of salmon, sweet potato is used, instead of tuna, baked beetroot is draped on rice and nori leaves and rolled up.
Hip dining experience with plenty of fried food on the menu. The 100% vegan dishes match the style of the trendy interior: the "Beastie Shawarma" comes in a pink bun, the "Kalamariz Ringz" with pink sauce, the fries shine in rainbow-coloured decor.
"Plants only" is the motto of Cologne's oldest vegan fast food restaurant. Instead of classic meatballs, there are hand-made patties based on pulses and vegetables - served with organic vegetables, fresh herbs and homemade sauces between crispy bakery rolls.
Can vegan fast food save the world? At least for lunch! On the menu of the fast food chain, which originated in Berlin, are chicken burgers without chicken, kitschy fries without (cow's milk) cheese and kebab wraps without meat.
