Ignaz

Das Essen ist gut, allerdings sind die Portionen riesig, so dass man sich unbedingt eine Dose für die Reste mitnehmen sollte. Die Location könnte schöner sein..

We came here for dinner on a Sunday afternoon, just as a big thunderstorm hit Munich. We sat outside under the awning, watching the rain, and stuffing ourselves with food! We had the dinner of the day, where you selected salad or soup to start, and then your main from a really huge choice. We both had asparagus soup (delicious, thick, and tasty) and for mains, pasta with sweet potato and mushroom, and gnocchi with broccoli and asparagus. The portions were HUGE, I could barely move when I was finished. The chap who worked there said we could select any cake for dessert, and either eat it there or take it away. He told us which cakes were vegan vs. veggie. I had a delicious vegan 'cream' pie with apples and apricots in it, and my partner had a cinnamon nut sponge cake. We obviously took them to go, and several hours later, when we started to get a bit peckish, we really enjoyed them! Felt like a lovely little neighbourhood joint, with so many options, it was difficult to chose. Food was good - not the best thing I've ever had, but tasty, filling, inexpensive, and all served with a smile. Even in the rain!

I love Café Ignaz. It is one of my favorite places the food is quite cheap for Munich and every portion is more then enough. Normally I am not that kind of person who does not eat everything but I always need to take some of the leftovers home..

I can also recommend the bakery in this restaurant. The cakes and breads are super tasty.

Last time I had a taste which tasted like nothing. I guess they forgot to season it..

I've been there a few times, even with omnivore friends. The service is friendly, the dishes are of good quantity and quality. The best of it: for every meal you can take away a piece of cake!

We tried just some cakes, which were OK, but not delicious.

It is really small and popular.for weekend you need to make reservation if you want to sit inside!

When deciding to try this place I did make a reservation following reviews that I had read that it's very small. Good thing I did! Even though we arrived 45 minutes earlier than reserved the staff was able to accommodate us and we were able to do the Saturday brunch - which was very good! Only negative point - the vegan options on the buffet are not marked but the wait staff was extremely helpful and nice and pointed out all vegan options and even arranged for some additional veg pie that was not a standard option at the buffet. Food was varied and great...salads,hummus,breads, fruits and cakes. I found all the food very delicious but I can say that the place does exude a bit of a crowded feeling and it's not so easy to have a nice quiet conversation.

Unfortunately the service is really bad, they left you waiting forever, even when was almost empty. Food was bad, gnocchi with seitan and tomato was not what I expected. The gnocchi were uncooked a shame. Vegan Cake that come with the menu are passable, but not great

This place is a solid vegetarian restaurant, with good but not exceptional food. I would cast the style of food as international but with a distinctively German twist. Features include gnocchi, some curry dishes, and risotto.

The menu is very large, but on quick inspection you find that there are only about ten or so dishes with many small variations. The food is tasty, but tends to be on the heavy/fatty side. The portions are large -- the daily specials come with an appetizer and all dishes come with a dessert from the bakery.

The menu has a page for vegans which is marked, although I did not try any of the dishes. They looked like they might not have sufficient sources of protein. Many of the vegetarian dishes rely on cream or cheese.

The restaurant itself is small and is busy on most nights. I would recommend going early or getting a reservation. The decor is nice, but not fancy. It looks like they have street-side seating in the summer. You must enter through the bakery which is extremely cramped. Both times I went the staff was friendly and helpful and the waiters spoke English. I don't know if they have an English menu.

The worst vegetarian restaurant ever visited..... really disgusting..... service poor, food i have not eat ...... paid 30 euro without eating NOTHING. I say taht i m vegan and visited about 50 restaurant all over the world. Never eat so bad.......

They have a huuuuge menu and the meals and beverages are very yummy! All in all very good to eat there and have a cozy evening with friends. And; it is very good at the price!

I lived nearby for eight years and this was my favourite place to eat. Great food, big portions (you can order one for two and see if you are hungry afterwards) and great special price offers (for example in the afternoon).
Nice people there as well.
I miss it.

This is probably the biggest choices I have ever had ( Except the Green house in Manchester, sadly it does not exist any more) They have a book and you choose a page and the number of the dish!!!

Outrageously huge choices!!

Guess what I will be cautious to say it is tasty because there are just so many dishes but you can have the faith in them!

Location is brilliant, just a 5 minute walk from the university and you can eat here I guess everyday!

Strongly recommended, take me there as well!

Went here recently for a brunch on a Saturday morning. With brunch + coffee with soy milk, I paid 12,50€ which isn't too bad for all-you-can-eat brunch at a vegetarian restaurant.

Less than half of the prepared items on the brunch buffet were vegan, and they're not labeled - I had to ask the waiter. However, he knew which ones were vegan without having to ask the kitchen, so that was good. Also, 90% of the breads on the buffet were vegan, plus lots of fresh fruits. Overall, there was far more than I could eat, and the food was quite good.

It wasn't the best brunch I've ever had, but it was good, and I'd go back again.

hier gibts den besten kuchen in münchen. hab mich durch einige schon probiert und fast alle waren ausnamslos köstlich. zum essen war ich bisher nur einmal dort, aber das war auch lecker. das personal ist auch immer super freundlich und kompetent. preise sind auch ok.

A seriously good place with huge vegan choice such as pizza and gratin. The interior is very warm and welcoming. Initially I thought it was just a take out bakery and cake shop but if you walk in and go round to the right there are two fair sized dining rooms. Evening is the best time to visit when it's really cosy and inviting. Make sure you arrive by 21:00 as during the week it tends to get quiet after this time and they may turn you away. On the other hand, on our most recent visit on 31 Oct 2012 (the night before a national German holiday on 1 Nov) it was extemely busy and after coming back as advised at 21.30 we were told we had to rush our food and leave by 22.00. As it happened, we left at 22.20 and there were still people finishing off but the staff were very intent on clearing the place. Regardless of this I would still highly recommend this place for good service and great simple food. Along with Prinz Myshkin, Kaede and Vegelangelo this is an essential place to return to in Munich particularly for evening dining.

Great variety of delicious and healthy vegan dishes. The cafe also sells homemade vegan cookies. Yummy! Everybody who orders an entree can choose a free cookie as dessert. My meat-eating friend an me are avid fans of Cafe Ignaz. Highly recommended!

I've been to cafe iganz two days ago with my husband and a friend, due to my sister's recommodation. While reading the menu, I got excited because everything sounded soo good, with not-so-everyday ingredients etc. I tried the pomegranate lemonade recommended my the waiter and didn't really like it. I had wok glass noodles with dates, sea vegetables, brokkoli and carrots. The veggies were overcooked and the whole dish was just dissappointing. My husband had a starter salad, which was boring (shredded veggies that tasted like nothing, and a dressing alike, that was on the ground of the plate, not even poured over) and a potatoe stir fry, which was okay. My friend had a sweetpotatoe stir fry, which came along with A LOT of liquid, it looked like a soup. It smelled nice, but wasn't as good as I expect when I eat out. All the dishes were like "If I try this at home, it will be so much better"-waste-of-money-and-time, the whole evening was a huge dissappoinment. The waiter, too, was annoying. He tried to be funny und talked a lot, whereas I expect from a waiter to be more in the background, but ready when you need something or have a question. This waiter wanted to live out his extreme personality and interrupted our meal and conversation several times. When my friend asked for a spoon, he hurried away, and then forgot about it. Also, there're no desserts on the menu, just the cakes at the inside counter. I wish we had tried the vietnamese restaurant next door!
