Any vegetarian or vegan in Berlin will find their way around the city&#8217;s menus with ease. Some of the country&#8217;s best vegetarian restaurants are in Berlin. There are over 30 vegan places to eat at in Berlin,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and veggie-friendly options at most restaurants. Upon visiting Berlin, it\u2019s hard to ignore the large Turkish influence, which luckily has also trickled into the city\u2019s food culture. Vegetarians will enjoy the variety of Turkish foods, such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dolma <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(stuffed vine leaves), eggplant salad, and vegetarian <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kofte <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(meatballs), just to name a few. Of course, no Berlin food tour is complete without sampling a warm pretzel, found in almost any bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5854\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5854 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/A-plate-of-delicious-stuffed-grape-leaves-with-parsley-garnish..jpg\" alt=\"A plate of delicious stuffed grape leaves with parsley garnish. vegetarian holiday\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"5854\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A plate of delicious stuffed Dolma with parsley garnish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>Go local in Cologne<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next stop on your vegetarian holiday, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/germany\/north-rhine-westphalia\/cologne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cologne<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is a city in the Bavarian region. Though Cologne is famous for its heavy meat dishes, there are many tasty animal-friendly options in this region as well. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obatzter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a Bavarian staple. It is a dip made of mixed soft and hard cheeses, beer, and spices. It can be eaten with baked goods as a light dinner, or shared between friends at a bar. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kn\u00f6del<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or boiled dumplings, are another regional dish worth trying. These delightfully fluffy dumplings are versatile, and can be served with a sauce, as a side, or in soups. Before leaving, be sure to try some <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartoffelpuffer!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Though it\u2019s a mouthful (literally), they might be familiar to some as they are similar to latkes or potato pancakes. Served either sweet or savory, they are often topped with apple sauce, powdered sugar, or with yogurt sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5859\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5859\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5859 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Homemade-potato-dumplings.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade potato dumplings Kn\u00f6del - vegetarian holiday\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"5859\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5859\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Homemade Kn\u00f6del<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>Savory Stuttgart<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stuttgart is a charming city with a lot to offer. After exploring the scenic center, wind down at a restaurant and sample the local cuisine. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartoffelsalat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or potato salad, is a traditional dish in the Swabian region of Germany. Unlike potato salad at your family barbecue, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartoffelsalat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is made with vinegar and typically served warm or at room temperature. It&#8217;s tangy, sweet, and topped with chives, dill, or parsley. Similar to ravioli, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maultaschen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a hearty dish of stuffed pasta filled with spinach, onions, herbs, and spices. The typical dish is also stuffed with meat, but vegetarian versions can also be found. They can be pan-fried, served in soup, or topped with butter and caramelized onions. Adopted from the French, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flammkuchen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another delicious option to sample on your vegetarian holiday. Similar to pizza, this square-shaped flat bread is baked in a wood-fire oven and topped with cheeses and vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5850\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5850 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/French-traditional-dish-tarte-flambee-Flammekueche-with-goat-cheese.jpg\" alt=\"German traditional dish Flammekueche with goat cheese - vegetarian holiday\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"5850\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">German traditional dish Flammkuchen with goat cheese<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>What to Munch in Munich<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The largest city in the state of Bavaria, Munich holds its own in the vegetarian food scene. You can\u2019t leave Germany without eating <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sp\u00e4tzle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/germany\/bavaria\/munich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Munich<\/strong><\/a> is the perfect spot to try it. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sp\u00e4tzle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a pasta dish made from egg noodles, and is best when ordered <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K\u00e4sesp\u00e4tzle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (covered in cheese). Similar to the beloved macaroni and cheese, this dish is often served in markets and festivals, and is loved by Germans across the country. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brotzeit<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which literally translates to \u201cbread time,\u201d is just that: a snack consisting of savory bread with a variety of accompaniments. These can be pretzels or bread with egg, vegetables, cheese spreads, and pickled condiments. Lastly, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schupfnudeln<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another noodle dish made from potatoes, similar to gnocchi though rolled longer in size. They are best served in a simple sauce topped with herbs, or eaten with sauerkraut.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5849\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5849 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Cheese-Spaetzle-traditional-german-food.jpg\" alt=\"Cheese Spaetzle, traditional german food - vegetarian holiday\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"5849\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cheese Sp\u00e4tzle, traditional German food<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>Veggie in Vienna<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your vegetarian holiday isn&#8217;t complete without every non-meat-eater&#8217;s favorite part of the meal: dessert. Eating vegetarian in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/austria\/vienna\/vienna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vienna<\/a> is similar to what you&#8217;d find in Germany. Like in Berlin, there are many vegan restaurants in Vienna. However, the city&#8217;s main culinary attraction is its delectable pastries. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaiserschmarrn<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a local dessert made of shredded fluffy pancakes with sweet toppings, like jams, fruits, cinnamon, or powdered sugar. If that\u2019s not enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, try <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sachertorte<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a decadent cake invented for a prince. Indeed royal in taste, this chocolate cake is topped with a layer of apricot jam, then coated in dark chocolate icing. Though there are variations, this is a classic Viennese delicacy and it&#8217;s best to stick to the original.
