• Vegan wine restaurant!

I love this place – for being unpretentious, for bringing back “traditional German” atmosphere into my vegan life. “Gutenberger” is an all-vegan wine restaurant. The old part of Mainz is full of wine restaurants, this means rather rustic places where the focus lies on enjoying the wine with your friends, accompanied by local food. In a normal wine restaurant there aren’t any vegan options. When you’re lucky you can eat a pretzel and some salad… At Gutenberger all wines are vegan, and they have all sorts of vegan “Tapas”, some of them vegan versions of the food you usually get at normal wine restaurants (like ground pork or cream cheese) but also raw vegetable dishes. Then they always have salads, and a starter, two mains and one desert that change every week. I only give 4 HappyCows because not everything I ate there was to my taste. Sometimes the waiting times are long, as everything is cooked fresh. Prices are rather high. But I’m going to go there again (and again and again) and recommend this place. Especially in summer, when you can sit outside in a quiet corner of the old town with its cobblestone alleys, in front of one of the most beautiful churches of Mainz!
