Vegan wohlfühlen - Edit
Wir haben und im Place to V sehr wohlgefühlt. Sowohl auf der Terrasse zum Kuchen essen als auch in dem Restaurant war die Stimmung immer sehr angenehm. Von dem leckeren Essen ganz zu schweigen. Besonders zu empfehlen sind die "Käse" Platte als Nachspeise und das Gericht mit Austernpilzen.

The place to be for dinner - Edit
The quality of the food is very high, everything looks great and tastes great. I was only a little disappointed with the burger at lunch. The dinner dishes were without exception first class, creative and delicious (we ate there for almost a week). I was always full with two courses and especially enjoyed the different salads for appetisers. In addition to the standard menu, there is often a dish of the day. In the afternoon, there are about 6 cakes to choose from.

Good, but expensive - Edit
Our dinner at Place to V was good - they clearly make an effort to come up innovative vegan cuisine. Portion sizes were fairly small, and considering that one of our meals cost 25 EUR (mushrooms in a batter deep-fried), and that in addition a salad cost almost 10 EUR, a dessert also in that region, ... well. The food was good. Clearly worth a journey. But the prices ...
Read morePros: Good food, great location
Cons: quite expensive

Köstliche vegane Speisen - Edit
Die Gerichte waren unglaublich lecker, frisch und vielseitig. Die Köche haben wirklich ein tolles veganes Geschmackserlebnis kreiert. Wir haben unter anderem Trüffelpasta, Steinpilzlasta, Tiramisu und Salat gegessen - alles hervorragend. Auch der Service war klasse. Wäre gerne noch mehr Abende im Hotel geblieben, um noch weitere Gerichte zu probieren😄

Extremely disappointing - Edit
As a vegan I am happy about every vegan offer, and it hurts me to say this but, this restaurant is just terribly bad. I want to give one star only but can’t in this app (one star is given extra automatically for vegan places).
Read moreWe were guests in the hotel and on the first evening guests in the restaurant, we were very disappointed and then thought we’d give it another try on the third evening (for lack of vegan alternatives in the area) and went to eat there again.
The menu is written well and everything sounds delicious but the dishes are so so bad!! I ordered "spinach dumplings with lemon mushrooms and grilled tomato". What I got were two deep-fried (!) and grease-dripping "dumplings" with mushroom cream sauce and raw cherry tomatoes. My friend had gnocchi with pesto - Extremely small portions, little was homemade but a lot of convenience stuff, everything fried tastes like old frying fat, when you leave the restaurant you smell like frying fat.. The soup we had on our second visit was more like porridge and half cold. The "wild herb salad" was simply a leaf salad with some cress. And everything was so incredibly expensive, especially im repation to the inferior quality. Even the cake we had in the afternoon was bad because it was still half frozen...
It is such a shame and I just hope that the many "non-vegans" who are guests here are not put off by this food and think all vegan food is bad. I can only advise against the visit that goes beyond having a coffee or a beer..
Pros: Everything is vegan
Cons: Expensive, Very bad food, Long waiting times

Hi SolPet,
Read moreThanks so much for your feedback! We totally understand your experience – when we opened in 2021, we were honestly overwhelmed from day one and didn’t expect such a rush.
Since then, we’ve learned a lot, expanded our team, and are now much better organized. We’d love for you to visit us again sometime – hopefully we can fully win you over next time!
Best regards,

Room for improvement - Edit
We had very high expectations because of the good reviews, but were a little disppointed. We had cake in the afternoon, apple cake and some other fruit cake with a cream, which was ok, but not really good. Furthermore the service was very slow and we had to ask for them to come outside, take the order and then wait again quite long for cake.
Read moreThe dinner again didn't meet our expectations. The portions were not huge and didn't really fulfill what the menu said. For example the "Geschnetzeltes" was not as expected some chunky saitan pieces in a sauce but some very thin crispy slices on top of a sliced dumpling with little sauce. My partner was even still hungry afterwards (it was16€). My curry lentils tasted boring, again average. Furthermore unfortunately we had to wait over an hour, so we got our food after 9 pm, although we had a reservation for 8 pm.
The breakfast buffet had a good choice but for a vegan place I would have expected even more homemade spreads instead of convenient sausage and cheese slices. Maybe they serve this because a lot of people seem to come there without knowing that this place is vegan and maybe do not even notice :-)
Overall the breakfast was the best experience and the reason why we might come back and I rate 4 stars instead of 3.
Pros: All vegan, Breakfast buffet
Cons: Service, Portions and prices

Der Name ist Programm - absolut empfehlenswert! - Edit
Wir sind aktuell Gäste im ahead Burghotel und haben das Place to V nun bereits mehrfach besucht. Biovegane Restaurants sind noch immer rar gesät und es ist eine große Freude, nicht nur eine gute, wohlüberlegte Karte vorzufinden, sondern auch eine kreative und ambitionierte, pflanzenbasierte Küche. Hier steht genuss- und geschmackvolles Essen im Vordergrund, das nicht versucht tierische Produkte zu imitieren, sonderen durch geradlinige Konzepte und feine Nuancen bei gleichzeitig hochqualitativer Produktauswahl zu überzeugen.
Read moreVollmundige Saucen, die in ihrer Textur wie samtig aufmontiert schmecken, fein dressierte Speisen, die das Auge freuen und großartige Weine machen jeden Besuch zu einem Erlebnis. Hinzu kommt ein exzellenter, freundlicher und höchst aufmerksamer Service, der die ohnehin entspannte Atmosphäre des Burggartens unterstützt.
Wir freuen uns auf viele weitere Besuche im Place to V.
Pros: 100% vegan, Überwiegend Bio-Produkte, Hohe Kreativität und großartiger Service
