Kitchen closes at 3 (at the latest) for lunch

I endured some heavy rain before finally finding this place. To my amazement, they told me they close at 3 PM, despite that not being indicated anywhere.. and it wasn't even 3 PM yet! Since I was about to embark on a 15-hour-long train journey, I begged, pleaded and implored, but was met with zero flexibility. To be fair, the waitress actually was apologetic, but the chef, who probably made the decision, was busy having a smoke outside, and throwing the [censored] on the ground. While common in Berlin, I would like to think we ought to hold vegan restaurants to a higher standard.. both in terms of empathy/flexibility and civility.

Großartig

Ganz toller Laden mit köstlichem Essen und super Service. Sehr herzliche Crew.
Wir haben eine Auswahl verschiedener Gerichte gewählt. Jedes für sich war ganz wunderbar. Der Wasserspinat (Morning glory) schmeckte wie im Urlaub.

The experience we needed in Berlin

At some point Berlin got too loud and crowded for me. Then we accidentally find the butterfly lovers. Amazing kitchen, extremely polite staff and ambient music. Food is delicious, I can't recommend the Mango Lassi enough 🥭✨

Spicy and pricey

Decent quality, lots of options, not enough duck dishes imo. A bit expensive. Indoor and outdoor seating

Absolutely delicious!

We had the Szechuan Tofu Pot and the Szechuan Noodles from the daily menu - both were great and the portions were well-sized.

Go for the Sichuan-style chicken!!

One of my favorite Sichuan dishes is the classic spicy chicken dish, and I've chased vegan versions of it around the globe. This is my favorite rendition so far - delightfully chewy and flavorful in an authentic way. We also got the mapo tofu, which was great, and a string bean dish, which was not the typical Chinese string bean dish I was expecting and not my favorite. A bit expensive but seems like many dishes are probably worth it.

Wow!

Alles an diesem Restaurant hat uns komplett überzeugt. Die Location ist richtig schön gestaltet und man sitzt bei Vogelzwitschern gefühlt mitten in der Natur, das Personal hat uns zudem freundlich begrüßt. Von dem Essen waren wir dann komplett geflasht! Es war alles soo unglaublich lecker. Egal ob Vorspeise, Hauptgang oder Dessert, es war so perfekt abgestimmt. Die Aubergine mit Wasserkastanien waren einfach ein absoluter Traum. Außerdem wurde das Essen schnell geliefert.

So good!

We ordered the cucumber salad, mapo tofu, and fried duck and everything was delicious! The tofu had a good level of spice (which can be hard to find in Berlin) and the cucumbers were tasty and refreshing. The duck was truly incredible, I would definitely recommend this dish in particular. The menu has a wide variety of options and of course I love that it’s all vegan. Definitely worth a visit!

My favorite in Berlin

Of the ten or so vegan restaurants/cafes that I visited during my stay in Berlin, this was probably my favorite. For a starter I had the Dan Dan Mian and as main dish I had Mapo Tofu. They were both super delicious — quite hot and spicy, yet still full of flavor!

Wiederholungsbedarf! 🤩

Alles 100% Vegan, sowohl die Gerichte als auch die Getränke.
Eine riesige Auswahl an asiatischen Vorspeisen, Hauptgängen, Desserts und Mocktails.
Super liebe Bedienung, scharfes und gesundes Essen.
Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist 1a.
Saubere Toiletten und angenehme Atmosphäre.

Wir hatten die 105 (Tofu, dazu kam eine Portion Reis) und die 167 (Süßkartoffelstärkenudeln mit Chilisauce und Gemüse).
Der vegane Mango Lassi hat 1 zu 1 wie ein "normaler" geschmeckt und die dekorativen getrockneten Orangenscheiben sind essbar und süß-lecker!

Auf der Webseite findet man die Speisekarte mit den Preisen😄

Pros: Preis-Leistung, Geschmack , Auswahl

Tasty Chinese food

Food is tasty and service is friendly. Good to have other types of vegan cuisine available😄The name makes it looks like it is a couples restaurant, but guests not romantically involved are also welcome.

Großartig gewürzt

Schöner Laden am Weinbergpark mit veganem chinesischem Essen. Die Süßkartoffelnudeln haben eine etwas gewöhnungsbedürftige Konsistenz, sind mit Soße und frischem Gemüse aber echt lecker. Auch die Gerichte mit Aubergine sind empfehlenswert.

Great Chinese food in Mitte

Unfortunately didn’t take any photos but thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the butterfly lovers.
Went on a Tuesday night which ended up being a busy night for them.
All the food was great but a prewarning the mapo tofu is fantastic but spicy.
Value for money and decent portion sizes.

We sat outside, during a time when not many tables were booked. So I can’t say anything about rush hours.
Outside is well kept and a really nice area.
Both bathrooms were partially out of order, might be an issue when crowded.

Food is very well presented and tastes great.

Staff is nice.

Will be back.

Fabulous mock duck

Lovely venue with cute garden, we had won tons and spring rolls, both pretty standard. We had the summer special teriyaki pork belly and mock duck, both lovely but the duck was very delicate with a dipping sauce not an overwhelming sauce like a regular Chinese rest. I like noodles but most dishes come with rice, which made me a touch sad but would def go back.

Pros: Yum food, Nice garden

Cons: Only one spicey noodle dish

Delicious Vegan Szechuan Cuisine

The Butterfly Lovers offer a fully vegan approach to the much hyped Szechuan Cuisine. Dishes are flavorful and plenty and the level of spiciness is not only stated on the menue but also customizable. So do not fear the famous Szechuan Pepper! I highly recommend the cold cucumber salad, the Mapo Tufu and the Sweet Potato flat noodles. Absolutely delicious.
