THE place for vegan indulgence - Edit
Trash chic is not a posh restaurant, but an authentic German Eckkneipe and on top of that visibly liberal and left-oriented, which I love. They serve locally brewed beers and interesting sodas and all kinds of veganized fast food dishes. Our waiters were very polite and nice and let us order a combination of chili cheese and manioc fries, which was not the healthiest dish, but definetely very delicious and enjoyable. On recommendation of staff we also had the gyros and fries plate and the gyros wrap. We both ended up carying our left-overs home in a paper box, after all, the gyros was just too good to be wasted. The prices for these amounts are definitely reasonable. Would love to come back here and try out all the other veganized dishes!

Very dirty and delicious junk food - Edit
This place is the best at 10pm after few drinks. Fried anything (especially lovely schnitzel) with a hardcore vibe, french fries with melted cheese and sweet sour sauce on top.

Best soul food within a million miles - Edit
If you crave comfort food, a comfy atmosphere, nice service and a relaxed and alternative surrounding, look no further and do not skip this place. The dish sizes are enormous, the taste is grease for the soul and the prices are great.
Read morePros: Comfort food, Good price range, Usually not too crowded
Cons: Service operates in Rhineland speed ;)

Guilty pleasure in vegan - Edit
Haben bisher nirgends so gutes veganes Gyros gegessen! Klar, ist natürlich nicht super gesund die Geschichte, aber trotzdem (oder gerade deswegen?) richtig gut. Portionen waren ordentlich und die Bedienung sehr nett. Mag von außen nicht mega einladend wirken, aber von innen ist der Laden umso cooler. Wird das nächste Mal in Köln nochmal angesteuert!

Vegane Kneipe - Edit
Man geht nicht ins Trash Chic für gesundes Essen, man geht ins Trash Chic, weil man urige Kneipenatmosphäre, kühles Bier und dazu fertiges Essen will.

Vegan heaven - Edit
Not exactly fine cuisine, but oh boy the food served here is awesome! Burgers, gyros, meatballs, schnitzels, fries with vegan mayonaise... All the good, greasy stuff at reasonable prices, a good selection of beer, and everything vegan and so so tasty. Also a nice place just to hang-out and have a few drinks. But who would want to miss out on the gluttony?! The world needs more places like this.

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.

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.
