Abwechslungsreiches Buffet - Edit
Sehr entspannter Laden, wo mensch sich am Buffet bedient und dann nach Gewicht zahlt (knapp 3 Euro pro 100g). Die Auswahl ist ganz gut mit verschiedenen warmen und kalten Speisen, was schnell dazu führt das der Teller sich enorm füllt 😉

Tolle Auswahl und super Qualität! - Edit
Nachdem ich eine Woche im Allgäu war und meist nur eine vegane Option zur Verfügung stand, war ich fast überfordert mit der Auswahl.
Read moreEs gibt viele tolle frische Salate und einige warme Gerichte. Zudem eine große Auswahl an veganen Kuchen und entkoffeinierten Kaffee. Alles war wirklich sehr lecker und frisch!
Pros: Große Auswahl, Sehr gute Qualität, Tolle Kuchenauswahl

Tolles Vegetarisch-veganes Buffet - Edit
Große Auswahl, die vegane Auswahl ist klar gekennzeichnet und alles war super lecker und gesund. Preislich auch sehr in Ordnung (30€ für 2 große Teller und ein 0,5L Wasser).

Good for Heidelberg - Edit
The buffet is mostly salads, but they're pretty good salads. There are also some curries in the buffet, and there is a pretty good selection of vegan cakes at the counter. Probably the best place I've visited in Heidelberg so far.
Read moreThe main downside is that the buffet format means that you don't know how much you're going to pay until you go to the counter, and it's pretty expensive. I ended up spending 14,09€ for a relatively small amount of food, and my friend ended up spending 17,00€.
Pros: Good food , Variety
Cons: You don't know how much you'll have to pay , Expensive

100% Veggie and organic - Edit
As a main course, you can either order the dish of the day or pick your favourite food from the buffet (charged by weight, currently 2.60 euros per 100g). Everything is organic, e.g., the tasty Lammsbräu beer is also available as a drink. The vegan dishes at the buffet and the cake counter are clearly labelled with the vegan flower.
Read moreSome things from the buffet were very tasty today, such as some of the salads and the potato balls. Some other salads, however, were very salty and the falafel very dry and hard. But if you have a mixture on your plate, it's totally fine. Today's drink of the day/summer drink was good (with apple, blackcurrant, acerola). I've had friendlier experiences paying/ordering elsewhere. All in all, it is a nice location at any time of day, but not necessarily worth a five ⭐️ review.

Lots of choice but can be pricey - Edit
This is a lovely place slightly out of the old town (ten minutes walk). There is a huge buffet with at least ten vegan dishes. You pay by weight, and at about 1 euro per 100g, this can become pricey if you try to sample a bit of everything (and it does all look good). We ended up paying 40 euro (that included a glass of wine). But the food is tasty and the staff are brilliant. There is a mix of German (cooked fennel, pumpkin slices, marinated warm onions) and world food such as Greek beans, felafel, cous cous) and lots of salads. The desserts however are mostly vegetarian.
Read morePros: Variety, Staff, Taste
Cons: Can be pricey if you treat it as a trad. buffet, A little way out of town, More vegan desserts would be great

Fresh but pricey - Edit
Went to the buffet twice, mostly vegan options (clearly labelled) and lots of variety (salads and hot options changing daily).
Read moreHave not tried the fixed menu offer (9,50€), but assembling a plate for a full lunch got pricey quickly.
Still, everything was fresh and tasty including dessert.
Home made drinks (fresh juices/ smoothies) and local beverages on offer.
Could easily go fully vegan, which seems to be missing in Heidelberg.
Pros: Fresh and seasonal, Variety, Friendly staff
Cons: Priced by weight at 2,60€ per 100g

Not a real buffet. - Edit
A good selection of vegan options. Nice and pleasant eating environment. To earn a five star they need to become a 100% plant-based restaurant. I do not like buffets that charge by weight...rip-off. You really can't enjoy your food. We would only visit again if in the area.
Read morePros: Vegan options clearly labeled., Some dishes were tasty

Great variety of food, quite pricey - Edit
In addition to a daily (?) dish, Red‘s main offer is its huge buffet with vegetarian/vegan options, the latter are clearly marked. You take a plate and start filling it. This concept allows you to try whatever you are in the mood for, and you pay by weight at the end. As for the dishes, for me, it’s mostly hit/miss: some are awesome, some a bit bland. The atmosphere is quite basic, but suits the concept - however, for me, it doesn’t fully fit to the prices which are more on the upper scale.

Im Buffet finden sich viele tolle Sachen. Im Gegensatz zu abgehobeneren Restaurants sind hier viele Dinge, wie ich sie mir selbst kochen würde, wenn ich mir was gönnen will - nur in einer Menge und Vielfalt, die ich für mich selbst nie zubereiten würde.

Ok but where are the vegan desserts? - Edit
There wasn’t a huge variety of warm vegan dishes and the the ones that were available weren’t especially exciting. There were plenty of salad options which seems bizarre to me when it is so cold. The vegan items were identified with the addition of a flower on the description of the item. I had all the vegan hot options I could. There was a rice ball that I found a bit dry and the other things were fine, just not amazing. I had a large orange juice which was ok.
Read moreI’m always up for a dessert so I glanced at the cakes. Pretty disappointed to see there was maybe 1 vegan option.
The place itself is quite nicely decorated.

Many vegan options at the buffet. Some were good, some were a bit boring. A bit overpriced in my opinion. I had a cake for dessert, which was incredibly tasty! The service was good.

Sehr leckere vegetarische Gerichte - Edit
Das Red ist eines unserer Lieblingsrestaurants in Heidelberg. Es gibt ausschließlich vegetarische oder vegane Gerichte. Man kann sich an einem Buffet bedienen, der Preis wird nach Gewicht berechnet. Außerdem hat man noch die Wahl ein Tagesgericht zu bestellen. Das Ambiente ist einfach aber gemütlich und es gibt Optionen draußen zu sitzen. Es gibt ebenfalls leckere Kuchen und Desserts.
