Between trendy neighborhoods and winding alleyways, a vibrant scene has emerged - one that unites flavor, sustainability, and diversity, all with plenty of delicious surprises.

 

Whether for a quick lunch, a cozy dinner with friends, or a culinary highlight during a city break: Hamburg thrills with a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian restaurants, cafés, and bistros.

Authentic, Diverse, Nordic – A City, Many Tastes

Over in the Schanze, the charming Katers Köök invites you in with vegan brunch, playful cat café flair, and wonderfully fluffy pancakes. If you want to start your morning right, HappenPappen has colorful bowls or a slice of vegan cake, all in a cozy living room atmosphere filled with laughter. And let’s not forget the scent of freshly baked bread and homemade pizza at Vistro, Hamburg’s first vegan pizzeria, where creativity knows no limits when it comes to toppings.

 

When you’re craving street food, Vincent Vegan is the place to go: crispy burgers, spicy loaded fries, and creamy milkshakes - completely plant-based, totally satisfying.

 

If you’re after something social and exotic, you’ll find it at Bodhi Vegan Living, where Asian-inspired sharing plates - bao buns, pho, and more - are served with a relaxed, homey vibe. And in the heart of the city, the hidden gem Cham Vegan greets you with aromas of fresh herbs, toasted sesame, and exotic spices. Here, Far Eastern flair meets northern comfort, with dishes like fragrant curries packed with crisp vegetables, homemade summer rolls, creamy coconut soups, and inventive desserts.
