Very good (whole)food for a good value of money
Posted on 06 / 10 / 2011Location
Prutt is located centrally nearby the main train station of Muenster. It is a more or less small cafe/restaurant with a nice interior in a reduced and functional design.
Due to limited capacities of seating it is recommended to make a reservation, especially for dinner.
Food and drinks
The menu offers different appetizers, soups, dishes, pizzas and deserts. There is also a daily changing lunch special available for a very fair pricing.
For vegans the situation is quite confusing: the menu states that vegan meals are marked as those. But a deeper look into the menu reveals that none of the meals is marked. Moreover the detailed description explains that only on request meals are available as a vegan option.
What Prutt makes special is the usage of fresh goods from suppliers with local production and that the meals are preferably offered as a wholefood variant. Moreover the menu contains a detailed descriptions section that explains the restaurant's philosophy and production methods and that lists the restaurant's suppliers.
During my few stays at the restaurant for dinner as well as for lunch the quality and the taste of the meals was always excellent.
Service
In general the service staff was friendly and helpful, but some members could be a little bit more attentive.
Price
The prices at Prutt are ok and compared to none-vegetarian restaurants in Muenster absolutely competitive - in total a good value for money.
Summary
I definitely recommend to go to Prutt to have lunch or dinner. I am already looking forward for my next visit to Muenster area.
Pros: excellent food, wholefood, good value
Hi Pete,
I totally agree with everything you have written about this Café. I live in Muenster and checked it several times during the years. First thing, the menu doesn't offer a big variety, it's more on snacks and pizzas (wholemeal only!). But they should be ashamed about what they offer for vegans. On their website ( http://www.pruett-cafe.de/ ), they write that the choices for vegans are "nicht so groß" (not so big), but in fact, there is not 1 single dish marked as vegan, although they have have this sign (v!) in the menu. They write that they could alter some dishes (e.g. omit the cream on the tomato soup; the feta cheese in the greek salad; the cheese on the pizza), but that's the point, you will always have to ask if the cook can do it and, from my experience, they are not really keen on that.
It's really a shame, the only vegetarian restaurant in Muenster, but, to be honest, not worth a visit, at least not for vegans. Veggies can try their luck, it's on the street right behind the railway station.
