great foodchoice

Thrown back to those days one had to choose from lots of opportunities it was really hard to make a decision so after getting full of delicious food we ordered the dessert as take away. It was yummi as well.

Pros: all vegan, lots of options, nice outside sitting

Other options are much better

Well, if you cook at home vegan or vegetarian way, the food here will be in any point special. Is only one waiter-a kind girl- for everybody, clearly not enought. Not very creative food, not special, desorder, some kind of litle pankakes were burned. i miss the "love" in the food and in the place. I was in the breakfast buffet, place was dirty, desorder, they need more waiters. I had the feeling that this place in the past was a really good place but now they lost the hope. Better go to other places in Berlin

Pros: Kind waiter - girl

Cons: Food, they need more waiters and love in the food

Great food in a homey, typically German atmosphere.

Decided to go for a spontaneous dinner here on a Thursday night. Tried the cordon bleu dish which was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend it! The tiramisu and mango lassi (which actually tasted of mango, unlike in some other places) also trumped our expectations. Prices are fine and the waitress was friendly and welcoming. Heard brunch is well sought out - will definitely be reserving to try it out soon!

Pros: Awesome food & drinks, Cozy atmosphere, Friendly staff

Cons: Cordon bleu was approx. 15€

That brunch is life!

I tell you the brunch they offer Saturdays and Sundays, is just epic!

Everything is delicious - especially all the salads are just very flavorful and rich.

If you want to make a reservation, which you should, ask to sit downstairs. It is very cosy and more private there.

They also except credit cards, but are currently expanding that to international cards as well. Therefore currently it might happen that only local cards are excepted. I asked the owner, as it is stated that they only except cash on HappyCow. Him, and all the other waiters were very nice and polite as well btw.

I will return for sure:)

Lovely Dinner

We came here for dinner without a reservation (mid week) and received a warm welcome. The menu was small (3 starters, 9 mains, 2 desserts) but we found something we each liked. The faux meat was amazing in the caesar salad, but a bit too realistic in the roulade, very beefy, almost like fatty meat. But the service was friendly and everything tasted amazing. Note, cash payments only.

Really tasty food!

I had the vegan carbonara penne with soy meat and it was seriously one of the best thing ever!!! The starters were also really delicious.

Note that they really don’t like fur there (even fake ones) as I had my jacket with some fake fur on it and they asked me to hide the fur part...

Oh also - the tiramisu is delicious as well!

Cosy place, great food and brunch

We visited the Viasko for their brunch. Our experience was that the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere at the restaurant is nice and comfortable. The food was delicious. They have a good variety of different warm, cold and sweet and salty dishes.
There is just one thing that you should know: The owner wishes no fur or fake fur in the restaurant. A woman next to us had fake fur at the hood of her jacket, the staff explained her friendly that they wish even no fake fur. She curled her hood that the fake fur wasn't visible anymore and it was no problem. For us is this no point to critzise the restaurant. It's their special wish at their guest and in exchange they serve absolutely great vegan food.

Pros: Very good brunch, lovely place

best brunch EVER!

The first stop of our Berlin trip was the weekend brunch at Viasko. I read lots of good reviews but also some bad but I really could NOT see/taste/feel anything bad. The two waiters were so nice and the food. OMG the food!!! Still dreaming about this whole perfectly arranged buffet. Everyone can find something there. I wish we had something similar in Austria because I've never seen/tasted anything like this before. Also the hot chocolate (not included) with the vanilla milk foam was the best I've ever had. If you have any doubts because of a not-so-good review... FORGET them. Trust me. You'll see what I mean when you have the first sight of the brunch buffet there :)

Pros: best brunch ever, lots of different, very tasty food, they refill the buffet

Could've been great.

I want to love this place but I've been there 3 times over the last couple of years now and I keep realizing that I'm leaving unsatisfied.
I have been there for the Sunday brunch and they do have a big selection of dishes, both cold salads and hot food. They do feel a bit random though, maybe they want to offer something for everyone but I would appreciate fewer but well put together dishes over a great selection of mediocre ones.
In general the food has been quite tasteless and I've catched myself thinking I could make it better at home. It's not crazy expensive but the brunch plus a drink ends up not feeling worth it for me.
Again, it has some potential but it's almost frustrating that it doesn't really make it all the way. There are better brunch/breakfast options in the area.

Pros: Nice space

Cons: Bland food , Not great value for money, All over the place selection

BUFFET

Get the buffet at Viasko. It will change your life. I actually ate way too much food, but it was so worth it. Definitely one of my eating highlights of Berlin.

Pros: TONS of buffet options, Delicious food, The buffet

Cons: Too much food to try it all

Great Food

Attention: This is a cash-only place.

I had the cauliflower-almond rice with cashew pepper.
It was delicious!

The atmosphere was good; inside it has a pub feeling, but without the noise. :)

The staff was polite, could be a bit friendlier; but it's alright.

I would certainly like to go back next time in Berlin.

Pros: tasty, good value

Cons: none

Hat sogar Omni-Familie überzeugt

Ich war mit meinen Eltern und Großeltern hier und es hat allen sehr gut gefallen. Die Atmosphäre ist etwas rustikal, aber authentisch und das Personal freundlich. Es gibt eine große Auswahl, so dass jeder etwas gefunden hat und wie mit Vor-, Haupt- und Nachspeise versorgt waren.
Kann dieses Restaurant sehr empfehlen, würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Insbesondere für Familien Besuch toll! Reservierung empfohlen

Pros: Atmosphäre, Große Auswahl, Typ Hausmannskost

Nett, lecker, wunderschöne Umgebung

Wir probierten mehrere tolle Gerichte und alles schmeckte erstaunlich "un-vegan" aber unverschämt lecker. Das Personal ist super nett und hilfsbereit. 100% zu empfehlen!

Best food in Berlin as for creativity and taste, loved the atmosphere. Sort-of- punk staff. Activist stickers. Prices could be cheaper.

Pros: quality

Cons: a bit costly

looks like a pub for sailors, tastes like a restaurant for foodies

Try the avocado starter! Inside it looks a bit like in a pub - I'm not saying that's a bad thing, can be romantic as well, but if it's nice try the outside and relax in the garden - both is nice. :) Menu offers things that aren't served anywhere else, finally a change from the many asian options there are in the city. Try the cheese spaetzle and in any case the avocado starter! The chef is very talented and skilled, eventhough he said he isn't vegan himself he does an outstanding job.

Pros: chef, variation to many other restaurants in the city

Cons: no WiFi

Best brunch ever

Seriously the best vegan brunch in Berlin. By far. Sie haben viele, viele, verschiedene Gerichte und Alles schmeckt richtig lecker. Especially loved the tempeh, mushrooms, artichoke salad, and the potato salad. Would defintely recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Leckerleckerlecker, Guter Preis, Super Auswahl

Cons: Limited seating, but still lots of space

broad variety at the brunch

They really offer a lot for brunch! The self made seitan was amazing! Some salads were super good, some ok, guess that is personal taste. Unfortunately they haven't had that many cakes or sweets for brunch and what they had wasn't good for my taste.
The interior is like a typical German pub thus I didn't feel very comfortable. But again that is personal taste

Pros: great variety for brunch

welcoming and cosy vegan pub

The leafy beer garden at the front of Viasko is a fabulous place to while away a summer evening enjoying the delicious food. The entry's and the mains were really generous serves, great quality and variety of creatively veganised favourites. The berries and mousse desert was exquisite.
The service was also very friendly.

incredible brunch!!

we all had an AMAZING time at Viasko when we came here for brunch a while ago. it was sunny and nice and i'm glad we booked a table in advance and sat outside!

the buffet was huge! different cereals, dips, marmelade, yoghurt, fruits, salads, veggies, bread. there are several different marinated tofus and seitan (my personal highlight). some hot and some cold dishes.
tried to try everything and all i had was incredibly delicious. everything but the sushi. the sushi wasn't either good nor original. it actually didn't fit the place. i'd say get rid of it and do more of what you do best!

it's true, it's not the cheapest and i kinda disliked that there are no drinks included at all (one hot drink would be nice). it's a great place though and i totally recommend it!

the place is lovely and the service was attentive and quick!

Pros: lovely location, brunch buffet had a lot of choices, taste!!!!!

Cons: sushi, no drinks with the brunch buffet, bit pricey

Variety of breakfast and lunch foods

Book a table unless you're planning to be the first in the queue. I've only been here for brunch and it's always packed. It's totally worth it. Don't try to bite more than you can chew - try to sample all the dishes because there are so many and they are almost all delicious.
Once you've been here twice you notice that the dishes are almost always the same every Sunday. But I'll pass that detail as there's just so many dishes that you can't really get bored of it.
Brunch starts at 13 euros last time I checked. Drinks not included.
Fur and fake fur not allowed in this place! :)

Pros: Lots os different dishes, Freshly made juices, smoothies, coffees, Different milks available (oat, almond, soy...)

Cons: You must book a table

Unbelievable brunch

I am not the hugest fan of the German style brunches - preferring a good order of French toast or pancakes myself - but if I could visit Viasko every week, I might come around. I can't add much to the reviews below - they are all true. Not visiting Viasko for brunch when in Berlin would be idiotic. Everything I tried was delicious, and there were tons of options. I could not recommend more highly. Along with Lucky Leek, Leckereinfabrik and Cafe Tuong, one of my favourites in Berlin.

Pros: Good value
