BrenNessel

The restaurant is authentic, popular among the local people and always very full. I recommend to make a reservation or just ask if you can share a table.
Food is good and portions are huge. Many vegetarian options available, ask for making the vegan. Try huge and tasty salads or the specialty of the place: spaghetti Napolitana. This vegetarian spaghetti is cheap (1,90€) and actually really good, tomatosauce is well made. So is the pancake filled with leek-sauce (2,90€). Ask to leave the cheese out, if you want vegan portion. Chicbean curry is also really tasty and it might be even vegan?

Always worth of visiting!

Since it is lsited here on HC I was expecting more. There were no choices on the menu so I asked the waitress.
"Vegan? Uhm. No. French Fries mabye?"
Luckily it was possible to omit the cheese on eggplant with potato and tomato sauce. (€9.80)
It was really good but greasy. Veery greasy.

Another big con is the big-portioned bolonaise they serve for € 1.80. I love the idea of the cheap student cafe and the place is really neat overall. But I can only imagine where this meat must be from...

ive been to brennessel a few times before and ate just a couple. since i remember, there are not many vegan options (i had hummus and potato wedges). but its a common student place - nice inexpensive and busy.
