Great food and beer!

I've lived in Cologne for a couple of years now and this has been one of my regular places to go for a couple of beers and some good vegan food. Granted, the menu is vegetarian and not fully vegan but you can get everything with vegan cheese. We typically get chips with 'cheese' and a big burger - they're amazing! The staff are really friendly and it's got a great 'small pub' atmosphere. They have a brilliant selection of beers and the prices throughout are pretty cheap in comparison to most places.

Pros: great food, lots of beer, friendly staff

Cons: sometimes there aren't enough seats

A fun pub

OK, I didn't actually eat any of the food here, as it was much too full to sit down when we turned up - it sounded good from the menu though. Furthermore, Trash Chic is an excellent pub with cheap beer and a friendly clientele, and they put up with a group of rowdy British types until five in the morning, so I couldn't resist rating it anyway and encouraging you to go there. I'll give it four, but it's only missing that last star because I never actually tasted any food, which seems like the primary point of a food website ;)

Vegan desserts too!

Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of vegan options, including a cake. Good value burgers, pomme frites etc, they also had some other, healthier options like falafel salad plates.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, good service, good value

great, friendly!

the first time Sadly i was there late and I only had a beer. Nice place. BUT i did make some great friends in koln and they say its the best vegan food in koln and open late. I suggest to try it. Fast food.. I think hot chips are 2 euro.. thats all i remember.
But when I was here in 11.09 I had a burger, it was nice and with chips. Very tasty! good prices, especially for köln! The chef actually was very friendly and talked with me and my friend for 30 minutes

Pros: a selection, good beer and music, friendly service

Cons: doesnt say wahts vegan on menu, ask the staff

Tasty German-style pub grub

Went for an evening meal while visiting Cologne. When I asked which dishes were vegan, they said that the dishes could be made vegan or vegetarian. We had the Tofisch with creamed potatoes and spinach and the Currywurst with chips which were both very tasty. Tasty, warm pub food, also good value.

It was very dark and smoky inside which I personally found a little intimidating from the outside, but once we went in the staff were friendly and it all seemed very relaxed, it would probably be a great place to visit as a regular hangout.

Pros: good value, friendly, nice food

Cons: dark and smoky

Hamburger, fries and kicker!!

Now this is really a place I'd recommend to all vegans! Don't eat for a whole day, go there and try everything on the menu! Trash Chic is not a fancy place (what's in a name, right!?), but a place where most young people would feel comfortable. We arrived and it was still a bit early in the evening. Not a lot of people inside and it was actually quite dark inside... We only saw a day menu and we weren't really impressed. It's out of the city centre so we decided to have a drink and see what the evening would bring. And that's when we saw the menu... holy sh*t! Hamburgers, schnitzels, fries, tapas... and so many vegan options it took us forever to choose. My girlfriend and I both don't drink alcohol and the they had some very good alcohol free beers. Perfect combination with the hamburgers!
The staff is awesome. Young punk kids, relaxed and friendly.

Like I said, it's not the cleanest place ever, the food is not the healthiest, but it's good and tasty. If you want a salad bar, this is not your place. If you wanna live a little, go to Trash Chic!

PS: you can play kicker/ tablefootball there! yay!

Pros: sweet punk kids-staff!, delicious food, good atmosphere

Cons: a little dark...

What a fun place with great food!

I was so happy we went to Trash Chic. We spoke to several vegans in town who all recommended it. Its a short Uban ride across the river and a block from the station, super easy to get to. Everyone there was so friendly, from the guys behind the bar to the patrons having drinks. The chef was extremely nice and cooked me up an oil free Gnocchi, which was amazing and well beyond the caliber of bar food. We downed many organic Pinkus beers and had wonderful conversation to go along with the great food an drink. You can't miss this fun place while you are in Cologne! I only wish we could have stayed long!

Pros: FRIENDLY, great chef, good music

My Kind of Place

A little out of the way from Cologne city centre (U-Bahn from Neumarkt, get off at Kalk Kapelle; only a couple of minutes walk from here). The place is amazing and is run by a super friendly English speaking German guy who makes you feel extremely welcome. It's more of a local thing here, everyone in the neighbourhood probably pops in at some point during the week. They serve a lovely type of Kolsch and the range of food is great specialising in various types of burgers - the Tofisch burger is superb! (lots of vegan choice plus dairy free condiments such as mayo and tartare sauce). Vegan desserts are also served. Essentially, this is just great simple bar food with a special touch.

There is a strong music theme throughout, a table football game and numerous board games. Food is a bonus but not an essential here. The place opens at 4pm, starts to fill around 8pm and closes when the last person leaves which could be right until 6am. Truly amazing.

Pros: atmposphere, food, beer

Cons: smokey
