I only give this restaurant a star because I cannot give them a 0/10, but if it was possible, I would.
This restaurant pretends to be all “vegan friendly” but on the occasion I went:
1. They didn’t have many of the dishes offered as vegan available at the time. This came off as kind of weird, but it can happen.
2. We ordered a pasta dish which was clearly stated on the menu as vegan, yet the first time they served it to us, it had cheese on it. So my question is: why label dishes as vegan if you’re not going to make them vegan?! Long story short, they remade it and we had to wait +30 mins. in total for a sad, small AF pasta dish.
3. The food in general (we ordered the pasta, the bruschetta and a tomato soup) tasted extremely oily. Especially the pasta dish, which was supposed to be already creamy enough thanks to the avocado cream in it. What is the point of having avocado in a dish if it’s be drenched in oil anyways? Again: tasteless food, too much oil. I haven’t tasted food as bad as this since I first went vegan more than 2 years ago.
4. When asked at the cashier how our experience was, we pointed out the inconsistency with labeling and the cheese incident. Their response? They just laughed it off, as if it was more than normal to add animal products to a vegan dish. Excuse me?!
TL,DR: mislabeling, awful taste, long waiting until they cook your vegan dish correctly, too expensive for what it is. We went to the Vapiano near the Central Station and let me tell you, if you have to choose between going to Vapiano and picking up some fruit and fresh nuts from the supermarket inside the Central Station, go for the supermarket. Or not, since there are a few nice vegan options around Luisenplatz (Ertan’s Germüse Kebap, Çigköftem etc.). So don’t even bother with Vapiano.
