Wondering what vegan Munich has in store for ya? Here’s my guide to the best vegan restaurants in Munich (updated September 2025).

There’s so much more to Munich than Oktoberfest and beer gardens. Sure, the Bavarian capital can be the scene of lederhosen-clad drunken Weisswürste fest. But open your eyes wide and you’ll discover an amazing health and vegan scene beyond all the animal products, fab vegan-friendly restaurants, gorgeous boutique hotels, and — what the hell — river surfing right in the heart of Munich. There’s definitely more than meets the eye in Munich and I set up to explore what lies beneath the Schweinsbraten and just how many vegan restaurants Munich had for me. Wunderbar.

The Best Vegan Restaurants in Munich (2025 Guide)

Munich’s vegan food scene has exploded with incredible new openings and menu updates. Whether you’re looking for plant-based Bavarian classics, vegan breakfast spots, or creative international cuisine, there’s so much vegan food Munich has waiting for you.

Vegan Munich: What to Expect

Munich might be famous for its meat-heavy Bavarian cuisine, but the city has become surprisingly vegan-friendly over the past few years. With dozens of fully vegan restaurants and cafés scattered across neighborhoods like Maxvorstadt, Glockenbach, and the city center, you’ll find everything from traditional German comfort food made plant-based, to innovative international dishes. Many restaurants are concentrated around the university district and near Viktualienmarkt, making it easy to hop between spots. The vegan community here is thriving, and locals are incredibly welcoming, whether you’re a longtime vegan or just curious about trying plant-based options.

Best Vegan Restaurants in Munich

Gratitude

A high-quality modern upscale eatery with decent prices and a beautiful interior. It’s best to make a reservation ahead at Gratitude. They are very popular, and with good reason. The short, changing menu includes things such as chickpeas and Hokkaido curry, paprika corn soup, ravioli with tempeh bolognese, grilled avocado, and deconstructed falafel with hummus. The vegan wine and beer selection is great. Artful and tasty. The perfect place for a date night.

Neighborhood: Maxvorstadt
Price range: €€-€€€

Türkenstraße 55

Max Pett das vegane restaurant

To get your fix on all the German specialties you thought you’d never taste as vegan options, Max Pett is a great spot. My top pick for a main dish is definitely the vegan schnitzel, which is gigantic and crispy and greasy and amazing. The Remouladensauce that comes with it is also yummy. Whatever you do, make sure you save some room for dessert. Whatever kind of seasonal sweet dumpling (Knödel) they have on is sure to be delicious too and served with vegan ice cream. Ah, man. Drool.

Neighborhood: Altstadt-Lehel (city center)
Price range: €€

Pettenkoferstraße 8

Doctor Drooly Vegan Pizzeria

100% vegan, fresh, drooly, yummy vegan pizzas fresh from the oven that is best devoured red hot and on the curb next door. I’m not joking when I say this is some of the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. Sourdough crust and great toppings — I opted for the Oh Maria, which combines vegan mozzarella, vegan prosciutto crudo, cream cheese (I’ll stop saying the word vegan now, you got the gist), arugula, salted granola, and aceto balsamico. Possibly one of my favorite places. You cannot visit Munich and not stop by Doctor Drooly, be warned! It’s right by the city center, so no excuse.

Secret Garden

One of Munich’s newer vegan spots! This fully plant-based sushi restaurant near Viktualienmarkt has been wowing diners since 2022 with creative sushi rolls that use red wild rice instead of traditional white rice. Think beet, asparagus, mushrooms, and sprouts as fillings, plus an array of dumplings, fusion bowls, and wok dishes. The interior is lush and green, like dining in an actual secret garden. The lunch menu is especially good value. If you’re craving innovative vegan sushi in Munich, this is your spot.

Siggi’s

Wonderful vegan healthy fresh food café in Munich. At Siggi’s vegan café, you will find things such as sandwiches, bowls (my pick, loved the sweet potatoes and toasted pumpkin seeds on top!), delicious soups, fresh salad, American style pancakes, generous sandwiches, and a great raw vegan dessert selection. The lovely and gorgeous owner is engaged in the community and wonderful to have a chat with. She may even be there with her cute rescued dogs if you’re lucky. They recently got vegan pastries, which I’m devastated I didn’t get to try.

Prinz Myshkin

One of the most upscale vegetarian restaurants with many good quality vegan dishes and a stunning minimalist interior. The open kitchen serves creative global dishes, including many Asian and European options. The staff is super friendly, and the service is fast. Prices are on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for on the vegetarian food front. In the evenings you should call ahead to make a reservation.

Soy Vegan München

Another fully Vietnamese vegan cuisine option. Large menu, friendly staff, nice ambiance, and good vibes all around. I recommend doing a selection of tapas to share between a few people to sample as much of the menu as possible. Good lunchtime deal as well. A great option with reasonable prices in the Maxvorstadt area!

Best Vegan Breakfast & Brunch in Munich

Emmi’s Kitchen

A wonderful outdoor garden welcomes you to a great breakfast at Emmi’s Kitchen, and a cozy if a little bit crowded interior is there to accommodate the colder months. Emmi’s Kitchen serves the fluffiest vegan pancakes I have had in some time, but please whatever you do, also save room for a cinnamon roll! Great coffee, great people, a smashing vegan burgers menu for the rest of the day. And of course all vegan. Best way to start the day!

Bodhi

Ahh, how I wish this was in Berlin! Bodhi is a great place where you can get the real Bavarian tavern experience, except all vegan! Icy cold draft beer, greasy pub snacks, fab crowd, and good music. Make sure you try the chili cheeze nuggets, onion rings, currywurst, and buffalo wings. Great traditional dishes made vegan. I’m hungry.

The cutest name for the cutest vegan cafe. An excellent selection of vegan cheese in what used to be a butcher shop, make sure to try their vegan grilled cheese sandwich (best thing ever!) and take a few vegan cheeses to go from their counter. Great pit stop for your taste buds in a relaxed atmosphere my favorite spot in the Sendlinger Tor area.
