The 7 Best Vegan Cheap Eats in Berlin

With more and more people opting for a more sustainable and healthy vegan diet, there are numerous vegetarian and vegan-only eateries popping up in all major global cities, and Berlin is no exception. With over 100 vegan-only offerings in the German capital, it can be difficult to choose where to get your fix from. However, another thing to bear in mind is the cost of some of these places, with some extortionate prices simply unaffordable for many travellers.

With that in mind, we’ve put together this list of the 7 best vegan cheap eats in Berlin.

Where Can I Find Affordable Vegan Food in Berlin?

1. Secret Garden

For lovers of Japanese food and seafood, a visit to Secret Garden is a must. Found in the heart of Berlin, Secret Garden serves up all of your Japanese favourites, but vegan!

This is a great place to visit, especially if you’ve recently adopted a vegan diet but miss some of your favourite sushi, or equally if you’ve always been vegan, but have never had the opportunity to try sushi.

Despite being in the centre of the German capital, the prices are astonishingly low, especially given that the produce is fresh, vegan and mostly organic. For example, sushi starts from just €4.20 for a range of different vegan sushi, including avocado nigiri, tempura radish, white rice wrapped in tofu and lots more.

An authentic, healthy and ethical way to enjoy sushi.

Address: Warschauer Street 33, 10243 Berlin

Opening Hours: 12:00–23:00 Monday–Saturday, 13:00–22:00 Sunday

2. 1990 Vegan Living

A fully vegan restaurant, open seven days a week, serving Vietnamese food with a vegan twist – we think we might just have found heaven.

Designed to be ‘just like Grandma’s kitchen’, 1990 Vegan Living is a Vietnamese vegan restaurant in the centre of Berlin. 

Aside from serving up some of the tastiest Vietnamese vegan food in the city, it also has a huge emphasis on sustainability and being green, even down to the filtered water that they use and re-use for cooking and food preparation, saving energy and helping our planet at the same time.

Run by the Cat Tuong Family, you can also expect authentic family recipes all the way from Vietnam, with the family having honed their craft and added their own vegan twist on it – we’re talking vegan pho, vegan Vietnamese tapas and even vegan banh mi.

And to top it all off, the prices are suitable for even the most budget-friendly traveller, with small bowls starting from just €6.50.

Address: Krossener Street 19, 10245 Berlin

Opening Hours: 12:00–22:00 Sunday–Thursday, 12:00–23:00 Friday–Saturday

3. Chay Long

Another Asian-inspired vegan place in Berlin, Chay Long, not only offers stunning vegan food, but also provides a calm and serene atmosphere, making it the perfect place to wind down with a delicious bowl of your favourite vegan meal.

Chay Long’s menu is Buddhist-inspired, so you can expect some Pan-Asian favourites, from soft and fluffy bao buns to spicy curries and delicious, fresh ramen. If you’re an Asian food lover, then you’ll love Chay Long.

Their lunchtime menu has some of the most affordable main vegan meals in Berlin, with the majority of meals costing around €10.50 – not bad considering its central location and the freshness of the ingredients used.

4. Yoyo Foodworld

If cheap vegan fast food is what you’re craving, then you’ve come to the right place. And with a name as fun-sounding as Yoyo Foodworld, why would you want to try anywhere else?!

Combining German favourites, with inspiration taken from the large Turkish community in Berlin, Yoyo Foodworld is the perfect spot to grab a quick something to eat while you’re out and about exploring the city.

And the best bit? The prices are so good that we guarantee you’ll be back time and time again during your visit to Berlin.

We’re talking the Berlin classic, currywurst: a spiced curry sauce on a traditional German bratwurst, served with crispy fries – easily one of the most famous German street foods, and for just €3.50, how could you possibly say no?

Or, if you want to try a classic vegan version of a German döner kebab – inspired by the German-Turkish community – then you can’t go wrong when they’re being sold for just €5.50 a piece.

Yoyo Foodworld also offer vegan burgers, schnitzel, salads, wraps and snacks, as well as a wide variety of dips, drinks and more, making it the perfect stop off for a late-night snack or simply something to grab while you’re on the go.

Address: Gärtnerstraße 27, 10245 Berlin

Opening Hours: 12:00–22:00 Monday–Sunday

5. Curry 61

As we mentioned above, currywurst is a German favourite. A well-seasoned and char-grilled German bratwurst, topped with a heavily spiced curry sauce and served on a warm, golden bed of crispy French fries – currywurst is as much a German institution as Mercedes-Benz, the Brandenburg Gate and Bayern Munich Football Club. 

However, Curry 61 is serving up some of the finest vegan versions of this German classic. But before you shake your head and argue that the classics can’t be imitated, you’d be wrong.

In fact, Curry 61’s vegan currywurst is easily one of the best currywurst in the city – and not just one of the best vegan ones, one of the best from vegan and non-vegan varieties.

If you’re on the hunt for authentic German food served in an environmentally-friendly, ethical way with no animal products involved, then you’ve simply got to pay a visit to Curry 61. While the menu might seem limited to some, when you do something as well as these guys do, why do anything else at all? Quality over quantity is definitely the philosophy at Curry 61.

Address: Oranienburger Street 6, 10178 Berlin

Opening Hours: 11:00–23:00 Monday–Thursday, 11:00–00:00 Friday–Saturday, 12:00–22:00 Sunday

6. Feel Seoul Good 

Over the last few years, Korean food has seen a huge spike in popularity in the Western world, particularly in the US and Europe, and Germany is no exception.

The Germans love their Korean food almost as much as the Koreans do, and with such a huge market for it, it’s no surprise that there are several vegetarian and vegan options popping up throughout Berlin, too.

However, few can rival Feel Seoul Good – its name might be a play on the South Korean capital city, but they’re certainly not playing around when it comes to their food.

Expect everything from vegan tteokbokki, Korean corn dogs, Korean-style ramen, bibimbap and more.

And with snacks starting at around the €6.50 mark and mains around €14, it’s the perfect place for a meal for vegan Korean food lovers.
