The 13 best vegetarian restaurants in Hamburg
// 13 of 13 vetted Hamburg spots · updated September 2026
A grilled-vegetable plate bolted onto a steakhouse menu is not a vegetarian restaurant. These are the Hamburg kitchens where the meat-free cooking is the reason to go — Italian, Middle Eastern and Breakfast among them: 13 spots, 10 of them fully vegan, pulled from the 13 we have vetted in the city. Chosen the way locals choose, never through a marketing budget.
1
Italian
Anleger 1870
Vegan
Anleger 1870 occupies the historic casemates of the Mundsburger Brücke on Hartwicusstraße, a vaulted 1870 structure on the edge of the Außenalster in Uhlenhorst. The kitchen is Italian-Mediterranean and food-first, with a weekday lunch service and a summer terrace facing the water. Mains sit around 18 euro, vegetarians and vegans are looked after, and the setting does the work no interior designer could: brick arches, canal light, and a neighbourhood that stays local. Independent and local sources both name it. It is one address, not a group — the building itself is the concept.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Middle Eastern
Falafel Factory
Falafel Factory has stood on Barmbeker Markt for more than twenty-five years, cooking Middle Eastern food in a cosy dining room rather than over a counter. Falafel is in the name, but the card runs through the wider Levantine repertoire, and a Sunday brunch has become its own neighbourhood habit. Tables can be reserved, mains sit around 10 euro, and there is a terrace on the market square. Vegetarians eat well by default. Independent, local and national sources all mention it — the length of its run in one Barmbek address says more than any of them.

3Breakfast
Gretchens Villa
VeganGluten-free
Gretchens Villa has run on Marktstraße in the Karolinenviertel since 2010, doing breakfast properly: homemade dishes, cakes from its own bakery, coffee made with care. The identity is narrow on purpose — this is a breakfast and daytime kitchen, not a café with a menu that tries everything — and it has held that line for well over a decade. Guests sit inside on benches or outside on a large terrace, mains stay around 10 euro, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free eaters all find something made in-house. Hamburg's local blogs treat it as a Karolinenviertel fixture rather than a discovery.

Indian
authentikka
Vegan
authentikka cooks Indian food on Schäferkampsallee in the Schanze: thalis at lunch, a traditional evening card after that. The thali format is the tell — a composed plate rather than a list of curries — and it is the reason office workers and neighbourhood regulars keep the room busy through the day. Three addresses exist, all in Hamburg, all run on the same kitchen idea. Mains are around 16 euro, there is a terrace, and vegetarian and vegan dishes are part of the tradition here rather than a concession. Independent guides and local blogs both name it, and takeaway is available for those eating at home.

Ramen
MOMO Ramen
Vegan
MOMO Ramen on Margaretenstraße is a ramen kitchen with one subject: bowls of broth and noodles, plus dry preparations, worked with seasonal ingredients and house-made components. There is no outdoor seating and no long menu of unrelated Asian dishes — the focus is the point. Bowls sit around 10 euro, vegetarians and vegans have their own place on the card, and takeaway is possible for those who cannot get a seat. A second Hamburg site handles delivery, but the Schanzenviertel restaurant is the original room. Independent local blogs have carried it for years, which is how a ramen shop earns its queue in this city.
Reservations: Book online — the restaurant takes reservations through its website.

Regional
Laufauf
Gluten-free
Laufauf sits on Kattrepel in the Altstadt and cooks the regional food Hamburg actually eats — Labskaus among it — at prices the city centre has mostly given up on. The daily Mittagstisch runs two dishes at roughly 9.90 to 11.90 euro, which is why it fills with people who work nearby rather than with visitors passing the Rathaus. It is a single address with a terrace, and the kitchen keeps vegetarian and gluten-free options on the card. Independent and local blogs both name it. For anyone who wants northern German cooking without ceremony, this is the straightforward version.

Greek
Parea
Vegan
Parea, on Luruper Weg in Eimsbüttel, cooks Greek-Mediterranean food built around mezedes: many small plates, meant to be shared across a table. The name says it — parea is the company you keep — and the kitchen makes its dishes in-house rather than pulling from a standard taverna repertoire. It is a single, owner-run address, open in the evenings only, with a terrace for the summer months and mains around 16 euro. Vegetarians and vegans are given real options rather than a side salad. Several Hamburg food blogs list it among the Greek kitchens worth crossing the city for.

Middle Eastern
Azeitona
Vegan
Azeitona has cooked vegetarian Levantine food on Beckstraße in the Schanzenviertel since 2004, and the kitchen still leads with falafel, hummus and mezze. Everything on the card is vegetarian and most of it can be made vegan on request, which makes it an unusually easy address for mixed groups. Two decades in one building have given it the ease of a neighbourhood institution rather than a concept restaurant: plates are meant for sharing, the room fills with regulars, and mains stay near 18 euro. Local Hamburg blogs return to it regularly. Food is also available to take away, but the mezze table is what people come for.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Peruvian
Café Mama Silvia
VeganGluten-free
Café Mama Silvia on Winterhuder Weg puts Peruvian cooking into the German breakfast hour, and the combination works better than it sounds. Handmade sourdough bread, empanadas, cakes baked in-house and a proper Mittagstisch make it a place for a meal rather than a coffee stop. It is one address, run at a size where the kitchen can bake its own bread, with a terrace and mains around 10 euro. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free eaters all find dishes on the card. Two local sources point here, and the Peruvian-European register is not something Hamburg's brunch scene otherwise offers.

Mexican
La Casita Azul
VeganGluten-free
On Spritzenplatz in Ottensen, La Casita Azul cooks Mexican food the way a family kitchen does: tacos first, no shortcuts. The dining room is small and the kitchen keeps its focus narrow, which is why the tacos and the house drinks get the attention they do. Three to five independent Hamburg food blogs point people here rather than to the bigger Mexican addresses downtown, and vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free eaters all find real dishes rather than an afterthought. Mains land around 16 euro, so a full meal stays within neighbourhood price range. Takeaway is possible, but the point is a table, a plate of tacos and the room's easy hospitality.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.
11
Brazilian
Helo do Brasil
Vegan
Helo do Brasil on Colonnaden is a single Brazilian dining room in the Neustadt, built around national dishes rather than an all-you-can-eat grill format. Feijoada turns up regularly at weekends, live music fills some evenings, and the lunch card runs from about 9.50 to 13.90 euro — a rare price in this part of town. The kitchen keeps vegetarian and vegan dishes available alongside the grilled and stewed classics. Two local sources point to it, and it has held a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence since 2016. What it offers is straightforward: Brazilian home cooking, served by people who explain it.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Polish
Kuchnia
Vegan
Kuchnia on Talstraße is a Polish restaurant with a vodka bar attached, and it describes itself as a meeting place for family, friends and acquaintances — which is exactly how the room reads. The kitchen serves traditional Polish cooking alongside reinterpretations by Hamburg-based cooks working with Central and Eastern European ingredients, so pierogi share the card with dishes you will not find at home. It is a single address, open evenings, with a terrace and mains around 18 euro. Vegetarians and vegans are covered. Local food blogs treat it as the Polish kitchen in Hamburg worth booking rather than the one you stumble into.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.
13
Crêperie
Ti Breizh
Ti Breizh brings Brittany to Eppendorfer Weg: buckwheat galettes and sweet crêpes, made by a house that has been doing only this for years. It is one of three Ti Breizh addresses, all of them in Hamburg, all built on the same maritime-Breton idea rather than on expansion. A galette here is a meal, not a snack, and the kitchen keeps the card short enough to mean it. Mains sit around 10 euro, there is a terrace for warm days, and vegetarians are properly served. Local blogs and independent guides keep naming it, which in a city of five hundred restaurants is the honest kind of recommendation.
