Whether you’re a lifelong vegan or you’re journey is just starting, this city will meet you where you are and absolutely spoil you. With over 100 fully vegan restaurants and another 100+ vegetarian spots listed on HappyCow alone, Berlin has quietly become one of the top vegan travel destinations in the world, rivaling cities like London and New York.
This 3-day vegan Berlin itinerary is built around great food, iconic sights, and a realistic pace, because nobody wants to spend their vacation in a sprint. Each day has a neighborhood focus, a handful of restaurant recommendations that are currently open, and some cultural stops in between.
Day 1: Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg – History, Street Art, and Incredible Plant-Based Food
Start your trip in Mitte, Berlin’s central district and home to some of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. It’s a great base for your first day, and the vegan food options here are fantastic.
Morning: Breakfast at Försters in Prenzlauer Berg
Slight detour to start, but trust the process, lol. Hop on the U-Bahn and head to Prenzlauer Berg for breakfast at Försters (Dunckerstraße 2a). This fully vegan restaurant serves traditional German comfort food with a plant-based twist, and their breakfast spread is incredible. Fluffy pancakes, soy yogurt bowls, and seasonal specials made with ingredients sourced from local organic suppliers. It’s cozy, it’s affordable, and it sets the tone for the whole trip.
Midday: Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall Memorial
After breakfast, head back toward Mitte to hit a few of the big landmarks. The Brandenburg Gate is obviously a must, and the Berlin Wall Memorial up in Bernauer Strasse gives you a real sense of the city’s history. Both are free and walkable from each other if you plan your route right.
Lunch: Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro
For lunch, make your way to Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro (Schlesische Str. 31). This place is a big deal right now, and for good reason. As of early 2025, Bonvivant went fully vegan across its entire menu, making it the world’s sixth fully vegan Michelin-starred restaurant. Their seasonal brunch and lunch menus are a showcase of what plant-based fine dining can actually look like, playful, creative, and satisfying without being pretentious about it. Reservations are strongly recommended.
Afternoon: Museum Island and the Hackescher Markt
Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and right in the heart of Mitte. You don’t need to do all five museums, but the Pergamon Museum or Alte Nationalgalerie are both worth a couple of hours. Afterward, wander over to Hackescher Markt, which has a great mix of independent boutiques and street food stalls.
Dinner: The Sanctuary Berlin
End day one with something a little different. The Sanctuary Berlin is a fully vegan Italian pastry shop and cafe that also serves savory lunch and dinner items. Think incredible focaccia, pizza slices, and the kind of pastries that ruin all other pastries for you. Their chocolate cannoncino, a puff pastry cone filled with chocolate mousse, has a small but devoted fan base. Get there a bit early if you can, it tends to get busy and popular items sell out.
Day 2: Kreuzberg and Neukölln – Berlin’s Coolest Neighborhoods and Best Casual Eats
Day two is all about Kreuzberg and Neukölln. These two neighboring districts are where Berlin’s creative, multicultural energy really comes through. The food here leans more casual and global, and that works perfectly for a full day of exploring.
Morning: Brammibal’s Donuts
Before anything else, get yourself to Brammibal’s Donuts. This fully vegan donut bakery has become a Berlin institution, with daily-changing flavors, direct-trade coffee, and Oatly soft serve that you can get in or on a donut. Go early, the good ones go fast. There are multiple locations, so check which one is closest to your starting point.
Midday: East Side Gallery
Make your way to the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, now covered in murals by artists from around the world. It stretches about 1.3 kilometers along the Spree River and is one of those places that genuinely stops you in your tracks. Free to visit, and easy to spend an hour or two just walking and taking it in.
Lunch: Alaska Bar (Neukölln)
Head to Neukölln for lunch at Alaska Bar (Reuterstraße 85). This is a fully vegan tapas bar with a Spanish-inspired menu and a warm, living room-style vibe. The patatas bravas come with Sichuan spices, the carrot lox on toast is genuinely creative, and the almond ricotta with grissini is a crowd favorite. Plates run from about €4 to €13, so it’s very easy to share a few things with a travel partner or just order a little spread for yourself. Make a reservation on weekends.
Afternoon: Tempelhof Field and a Walk Through Kreuzberg
Tempelhofer Feld is a former airport turned massive public park, and it’s one of those only-in-Berlin experiences. People garden, cycle, skate, and fly kites on the old runways. It’s huge, it’s free, and it’s a great place to decompress mid-trip. From there, wander through Kreuzberg and poke around the independent shops along Bergmannstraße.
Dinner: HAPPA Restaurant
For dinner, head to HAPPA Restaurant in Kreuzberg. This certified organic, fully vegan spot does modern reinterpretations of Bavarian dishes using hyper-local, seasonal ingredients. The interior is colorful and inviting, with an open kitchen so you can watch the food come together. The sweet potato stew is a recurring highlight, and their house-made lemonades are a nice touch.
Day 3: Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain – Fine Dining, Asian Eats, and the Perfect Send-Off
Your last day pairs two of Berlin’s most livable neighborhoods. Prenzlauer Berg has a more relaxed, residential feel with excellent coffee and brunch spots, while Friedrichshain brings the energy with its street art, markets, and some of the best vegan Asian food in the city.
Morning: Coffee and Pastries in Prenzlauer Berg
Take the morning easy. Prenzlauer Berg is excellent for a slow start, grab a coffee and a pastry from a neighborhood cafe and just wander. The Kollwitzplatz area is lovely, especially on a Saturday when the market is running.
Brunch: Feel Seoul Good
Head to Feel Seoul Good (Husemannstraße 2, Prenzlauer Berg) for a late brunch. This fully vegan Korean restaurant opened in 2019 and has been a neighborhood staple ever since. The menu covers traditional Korean dishes done plant-based: soups, dumplings, bibimbap bowls, kimchi, and vegan sushi rolls. It’s flavorful, fresh, and reasonably priced. A really satisfying mid-morning meal before an afternoon of exploring.
Afternoon: Friedrichshain and the Street Art Scene
Cross into Friedrichshain and spend the afternoon exploring. The neighborhood is packed with street art, independent bars, and a generally creative energy. The RAW Gelände, a former railway yard turned arts and culture space, is worth a wander. And if you’re visiting on a weekend, check out the flea market at Boxhagener Platz.
Late Lunch: Li.ke Thai Vegan
When you’re ready for another bite, Li.ke Thai Vegan (Grünberger Str. 69, Friedrichshain) is a must. It’s the first fully vegan Thai restaurant in Germany, and the food backs up that distinction. Their customizable Tapas Bowls let you mix and match from over 20 small dishes, things like green papaya salad, yellow lemongrass curry, and Pad Thai. It’s great for anyone who can never decide what to order, because the answer here is just: a little bit of everything.
Dinner: Lucky Leek (Special Occasion Worthy)
Cap the whole trip with dinner at Lucky Leek (Kollwitzstraße 54, Prenzlauer Berg). This Michelin-recognized vegan fine dining restaurant has been a cornerstone of Berlin’s plant-based scene for years, and Chef Josita Hartanto’s seasonal tasting menus are consistently exceptional. You can choose between three, five, or seven courses, and wine pairings are available if that’s your thing. It’s a bit of a splurge, but as a send-off dinner, it absolutely earns it. Book well in advance, especially for weekends.
