Traditional dishes gone vegan - Edit
This place offers traditional German dishes like Schnitzel or dumplings, except everything is vegan. A really unique combo. The paprika Schnitzel that I had was super yummy.
Read moreThe place has a "trash chique" with lots of anarchist or communist paraphernalia.

Yea - Edit
I went to Trash Chic four times now and I really enjoy the vibe there.. good music playing in a ruth looking space, enjoying the funny stickers and getting some food.
Read moreSo far I've tried the Gyros, Rahmschnitzel, Wiener Schnitzel, BBQ Burger and the Vorspeisenteller.
I know it's very simple.. but I really enjoy the Vorspeisenteller!!
The Gyros and Rahmschnitzel were very good, too, but the fries that come with it are not so good (also not a fan of the Tomatenreis). The burger was good, but also not very special.
In general it's a very cool place though and the portions are huge. After sharing the Vorspeisenteller with two more friends I was already way too full to eat all of my main dish.
It's one of the restaurants in Cologne I'd recommend to my friends.

Punk Rock - Edit
Loved the looks of this place, very alternative, punk rock touch. You just sit together with strangers and having a beer together. Great athmosphere and very refreshing. Food is fastfood style, so basic and simple but in no means boring. We loved to get us some burgers, french fries and chili cheese fries after a long day in the city. Next time we’ll definitely come back here.

Punk bar meets burger restaurant - Edit
The Trash Chic is a really cool alternative bar but beside all kind of beverages they also serve springrolls, salat, Chili Cheese fries!, wraps, ice cream and of course burger. I was really happy to see that roughly 90% of the menu is vegan. The staff was very friendly, and we did not have to wait long after ordering. Both the Trash Chic & the BBQ-Burger were very tasty just like the Chili "Cheese" fries (although the chili was more a sweet chili sauce).
Read moreThe place might look a bit intimidating to some, but they actually have a lot of young families as regular customers. Another plus is that its really easy to get there, its like 5min from Kalk Kapelle.
Pros: outdoor seating, family friendly, lots of vegan options

Disappointing - Edit
This is not for you if you like a nice, light atmosphere. The whole place breathes the rebellious vegetarian/vegan scene. Walls are painted in every color and full of stickers and posters all over. It looks more like a punk bar than a restaurant.
Read moreNow the food.... I had a small vegan salad, which was okay quality, but tiny and RIDICULOUSLY overpriced.
My partner hat the BBQ burger. First of all, the patty was so dry fried, even the sauce didn't make it juicy. Secondly, it was stacked so high, there was no way anybody could have taken a whole bite. Seems like the thought was to just make it look impressive.
Then we had the chili cheese fries, which I didn't like at all. The chili sauce tasted like one you can buy at ALDI and there was also a lot of garlic in there, which it didn't say in the menu. They were also a little dry.
All in all, we were very disappointed by this visit. Sorry.
The staff was friendly.
Cons: inappropriate pricing, low-medium quality food, punk bar atmosphere

Great food, friendly staff, casual atmosphere - Edit
Some of the recent reviews on here had us worried, but my girlfriend and I decided to go here for dinner tonight, and we're very glad that we did! The staff were extremely friendly, spoke English very well, and had English menus available. Both my girlfriend and I are vegan. Many of the items are already vegan, and most can be made vegan. We ordered a small feast - 2 beers, a savory pastry whose name escapes me, fried spring rolls, fries with cheese and a sweet chili sauce, pumpkin lasagna, chocolate mousse, and a gyro wrap to-go. The pastry and the lasagna were specials, but the rest was from the regular menu. Everything was delicious, and we especially recommend the chili-cheese fries and the chocolate mousse. Also, contrary to what some other reviews have stated, we felt that the portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. We are already talking about returning here for dinner tomorrow night!

Good for a drink - Edit
Tried the Trash Chic for dinner and unfortunately I have to admit that I am a little bit disappointed. The atmosphere is really cool, you get a good vibe from the staff but the nicest thing I can say about the food is that it's ok. I had the vegan Gyros with chili cheese fries and for my taste it was way to bland and dry. Also tried a bite from the BBQ Burger which didn't taste any different. They had a special offer this evening, a vegan White Russian, one of my favorite cocktails, unfortunately it just tasted like a glass of soy milk. At least my side salad was pretty good!
Read moreAll in all this is a cool bar where you can hang out and enjoy yourself for a while but don't choose this place for eating out.

Netter Laden und Mitarbeiter, Essen na ja - Edit
Der Laden war mir echt sympathisch (schön linksorientiert) und die Mitarbeiterinnen waren auch superfreundlich. Wir haben uns zwei Burger bestellt und Pommes, aber ich muss ganz ehrlich sagen, dass ich entgegen der anderen Bewertungen enttäuscht wurde. Die Burger waren relativ teuer und im Vergleich zu dem, was man bekam, echt ganz schön teuer. Ziemlich klein und leider auch nicht wirklich was besonderes, auch wenn die Beschreibungen ziemlich cool klangen. Der Chicken Patty war extrem lecker, aber der Burger hat meinen Bruder null satt gemacht und insgesamt auch nicht so dolle geschmeckt, obwohl er alles frisst und mag. Mein Burger war in Ordnung, aber sauschwer zu essen, weil er so miniklein war, aber dafür hochgestapelt. Bun war verbrannt. Und halt viel zu teuer. Ich bezahl gerne mehr für Burger und weiß auch dass veganer Käse zB nicht billig ist, aber nicht mal ich bin satt geworden und ich bin nicht mit dem größten Hunger gekommen. Die Pommes waren in Ordnung, hätten noch n paar Minuten in der Fritteuse brutzeln können, aber immerhin war die Majo echt geil. Joa, ansonsten müsste man mal dringend die Toiletten sanieren (wenigstens die Scharniere ölen :D), es hat echt übel gerochen und laut meinem Bruder war das Männerklo auch unsauber.

wish I could go there everyday! - Edit
I went to Trash Chic with a friend before going to a concert and it kept us satisfied until we were back home afterwards. The staff is very friendly (they even packed our leftovers for the go), the atmosphere is relaxing and the food is so delicious. Best vegan Mayo I ever tasted and last but not least mouthwatering vegan Mousse au chocolat! Will come back again as soon as possible (takes about a one hour car ride).

unreal vegan burger + cool atmosphere - Edit
The atmosphere just hits you in the face as soon as you walk in. It's a bit trashy and hard rock, but that's part of its charm. The servers are all so nice and polite. The BBQ burger was so unreal, I had to reassure myself the whole time it was vegan. The other food we tried here like the chili cheese fries and pulled vork burger were also good but nothing topped the vegan BBQ burger.
Read morePros: fun atmosphere , great service , quality vegan food
Cons: a bit loud (the music)

Excellent Atmosphere! - Edit
I have spent many evenings in this bar, dinking beers and eating the delicious vegan burgers and homemade fries. There is always good music and good vibes at Trash Chick, very relaxed and casual. They also have vegan brunch on some weekends, but I have never managed to go there, I am sure its great though!

Good place, bad service - Edit
I used to go to this place and was quite happy. The food was fine (not the best, but far from bad), the place is very easy and alternative, so you can come and just be yourself. Until I had, after many times going there, to complain about a food that I found it was too spicy and they didn't state it on the menu.
Read moreTurned out they were accusing me to be mistaken, and as it was a curry dish, it was supposed to be spicy. Strangely enough, I have had indian curry for lunch the same day and it was much less spicy. Saying that since I've eaten almost all of it (which I had two spoonfuls to be sure it was not my tastebuds, clearly far from "everything") they could only provide me more rice or salad to keep eating the food I said "it was too spicy for me". Quite a frustrating solution.
Later on, I told the waiter about my dissatisfaction while paying and the answer was a dry "that's not up to me". And he left.
So, even though it's a nice place to go (don't eat the soja medallion if you are not a fan of hot spices, and the lasagna is over spiced too), I wouldn't recommend to anybody until they learn what means to take positive feedback from customers without trying to make them feel guilty for having a different opinion.

Real Fast Food - Edit
If you want burgers etc. that are really like burgers and not like healthy and stuff ;), then this is the place to go. Also the perfect atmosphere for food like that! Great music and table soccer included.
Read moreTrue, the food isn't very healthy and the Chili Cheese Fries could be less soggy. But just don't go there if you expect a real restaurant or gourmet food and you'll be happy with your Tofish-Burger and Chili "Cheese" Fries!
Pros: Great vegan fast food, Many vegan options, Good value
Cons: Not all vegan, Smokey when you arrive to late
