Where the concierge points people first
- Kanaan Berlin — Hummus, shakshuka and plates of Middle Eastern salads in Prenzlauer Berg, started by an Israeli and a Palestinian as a joint venture. Good for a long lunch with a group. (52.5492, 13.4076)
- Vöner Vegan-Vegetarischer Imbiss — The meatless döner stand that proved Berlin's favorite street food works without the spit. Quick, cheap and late-night friendly. (52.5521, 13.4257)
- Vux — A vegan patisserie in Neukölln with cakes and tarts that non-vegans order without noticing. Go in the afternoon before the counter thins out. (52.4721, 13.4426)
- Dosaking Indian Restaurant — South Indian dosas, a cuisine that is largely vegetarian to begin with, so the menu needs no workarounds. (52.4617, 13.3231)
- EAT UP - The vegan Gyros — As the name says, a plant-based take on gyros. A fast option when the group wants something filling. (52.4887, 13.4234)

In Berlin, vegan is the default and vegetarian needs a question
Berlin menus mark vegan far more often than vegetarisch, and the gap catches people out. A dish labeled vegetarian in Germany can still contain cheese made with animal rennet, which most traditional hard cheeses use. If that matters to you, ask about Lab (rennet) or order from the vegan column, which in this city is usually longer anyway. A few listings here are cafés, shops or bistros rather than sit-down restaurants, so check opening hours before a special trip.
Questions people ask
How many vegetarian restaurants are there in Berlin?
Num's directory maps 50 vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Berlin. Many ordinary restaurants also carry a vegan section, so the real choice is much wider.
Is Berlin good for vegetarians?
Very. Vegan döner, vegan sushi and meat-free bakeries are ordinary here, and most menus mark vegan dishes clearly.
Is German cheese vegetarian?
Not always. Many traditional cheeses use animal rennet, so ask about Lab or choose a dish marked vegan if you avoid it.
