Average restaurant - Edit
Pfannenzauber is one of the few vegan restaurants in Aachen and I think this lack of competition reflects on the restaurant. The food is okay, but not more than that. It definitely lacks details (Hard burger buns, mushy potato wedges or missing side orders). And I don‘t think that the dogs of friends of the staff should be allowed inside the kitchen.

Nette Atmosphäre - Edit
Das Ambiente im Lokal ist gemütlich, der Service sehr freundlich, wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Das Essen hat uns nicht so überzeugt, wohl eher was für politisch/ethisch Ambitionierte. Die Burgerbrötchen (glutenfrei?) waren pappig, der Burger insgesamt eher fade. Auch der Begeisterung über die Kartoffelspalten kann ich mich nicht anschließen. Der orientalische Vorspeisenteller war dagegen lecker (besonders der Champignondip) und die Mousse au Chocolat auch, wenn man mal davon absieht, dass 2 ganze Kirschen für 2 Personen ein wenig knauserig sind, wenn sie als Beilage in der Karte ausgewiesen sind. Dafür sind die Preise aber auch sehr moderat.
Read morePros: rein vegan, günstig, Veranstaltungen, Informationen
Cons: Essen könnte besser sein.

Super friendly staff - Edit
A great place with a relaxing atmosphere. The menu has enough options. We chose the 2 course menu. A soup and spaghetti. The food was very tasty! The best part was the great service. Our waiter was really friendly and attentive. We will eat there again and highly recommend others to do so as well.

Best Vegan Place Around! - Edit
Genuenly nice, local atmosphere. Genius, monthly changing menu with fresh, seasonal and regional veggies. All Vegan and supportive of smaller, healthy brands (drinks etc. No CocaCola and stuff). The staff is great and some of the events are very interesting. The food is always fresh and very affordable, even as a student! You need to have eaten at this place when you are around.

The place to be - Edit
It looks like a very interesting place in Aachen. Things were happening there. Fresh ingredients, tasty food, but portions a bit small. Interesting people around. The people in this restaurant are also organizing some other cultural activities.

Lovely! - Edit
Visited a few weeks ago and had the oriental plate to start, a small size shared between two (delicious and fairly priced) and had the beet burger for a main (also delicious). The burger looked a little small when it arrived but half way through we were already stuffed (and we are used to eating a lot), wedges were good and so was the salad. Coffee and hot chocolate to finish were also good, although I think the hot chocolate could have been a little more cocoa-y. Staff was friendly (only one person working the lunch) and chatty and explained options to us when we were unsure, and spoke to us in English.

Pros: Appetiser, Burger, Staff
Cons: Small menu, Strange restaurant layout

Food is ok - Edit
Nice atmosphere. The menu changes monthly but isn't very exciting. I had a burger with what seemed to be a homemade bun, which was nice. The burger was tiny though and the taste was mediocre.
Read moreOverall an ok restaurant but I wouldn't go there to convince non-vegans of vegan food.

ok place but not inexpensive - Edit
Staff speak english. Menu isn't exciting and most dishes contain only a small amount of protein. Listed as inexpensive but I would say it's moderate for Aachen.

Good food for a good price - Edit
We ordered different dishes and both had a wonderful meal. I had a burger with fries and my friend had a pasta made from vegetables. Both were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful and because we came in very late we were allowed to stay there after closing time. I would definitely go there again when I'm around.

Cozy Place, Friendly Owner, Good Burgers - Edit
Pfannenzauber reopened in 2017 under a new concept. Still vegan, but now there's some kind of event (live music, lectures etc.) on some evenings. We found it to be a cozy retreat from the cold weather, and were offered some delicious burgers by a sympathetic owner. They also have a variety of great lemonades. The dessert was ridiculously tiny for the price though, that needs to change! All in all, I definitely recommend this place and would surely go there again myself.
Read moreUpdate: I've been there again, and I tried a green curry. It had no flavours, was a small portion, and definitely too expensive for what I got. This needs some work, please.
Updated from previous review on 2017-04-25
Pros: Friendly, Comfy, Delicious (burgers)
Cons: Dessert overprized (or undersized)!

Great (again) after owner changed - Edit
Visiting the Pfannenzauber for years on a regular base, I got kind of weary of the same old dishes. So when the owner changed at the end of 2016, I gave it some months and came back again in April 2017.
Read moreThe place has changed completely. It has become brighter, more comfy and has still the same warmth as before, without the countless decorations and stuff everywhere. I ordered a large starter, a burger and a soft drink and payed around 22€ which is, compared to the portion size and the tastyness more than fair.
The staff was friendly as usual and I like the new dishes and atmosphere very much, as well as the food-sharing concept. Will be back soon!
Pros: Tasty food, Fair prices, Friendly staff

Die Portionen sind riesig aber es ist alles sehr fettig. Die Räumlichkeiten sind mit massig Deko vollgebombt und es ist ungemütlich.

Great! - Edit
Just before Christmas we decided to take a little detour to Aachen, on our way back home from Phantasialand.
Read moreVia HappyCow we found this 100% vegan restaurant.
It was a very good experience! We found out that the restaurant was opened for only one week. Because of that there were a couple of minor glitches in the service. For instance: with my soup I got normal bread, instead of something gluten-free, which I specified I must have while ordering our food. But to make up for it I received a tea, free of charge. That was nice!
But the most important thing was: the food was great! We enjoyed it very much. The cauliflower soup with cocos was very tasteful.As was my curry. And the dessert... oh my...!
We are not close by Aachen. But if we would be in the neighborhood, looking for a place to eat, we will definitely visit again!
Updated from previous review on 2017-01-03
Pros: Very tasteful food, Owner is very friendly, 100% vegan
Cons: Minor glitches in service (will improve I'm sure)

Could you easily find something gluten-free to eat there...?
Read moreThanks in advance!
Luapske82
Hi Eva,
Read moreIt was easy yes.
But I have to add: I don't have a Coeliac disease.
I needed to test a gluten intolerance, but by now I know I don't have that as well.
So I can't say for 100% sure it was completely gluten free.
What I was certain about is that none of the ingredients on my plate contained any gluten.

I love ordering anything on the card because its 100% vegan and I don't have to think about it.

Occasionally I've had problems with everything on the plate being warm/hot but this rarely occurs.
I always found the food delicious and I am happy to go back again and again!

Good and 100% Vegan - Edit
Arrived 7/4/16 without a reservation and had good service and an enjoyable meal overall.
Read moreThere is a different menu every day which I gather they normally put on their Facebook page every day. You choose one of 4 main courses and then have the option to add a starter and a dessert (or both) if you wish.
The food was mostly good but not fantastic (one of our group said their food was bland). Overall it was a good experience but some of their dishes could be tastier.
The only main criticism is that the menu was only in German.
Pros: Everything is 100% Vegan, Plenty of choice
Cons: Menu only in German

This super cute restaurant is easy to find and an absolute GO GO when visiting Aachen! The restaurant has some beautiful artsy pictures as decoration (who are also for sale).
Read moreThe menu changes every day and it shows you what products are in the drinks the serve. My visit was on an Thursday so me and my boyfriend both choose the 'Pfannenzauber Burger', it was served with potato wedges, ketchup and vegan mayo.
It was DELICIOUS!! If I could, I would go back every day to choose something from their menu.
Pros: Menu, Atmosphere, Location
