The 6 best vegetarian restaurants in Munich
// 6 of 12 vetted Munich spots · updated September 2026
A grilled-vegetable plate bolted onto a steakhouse menu is not a vegetarian restaurant. These are the Munich kitchens where the meat-free cooking is the reason to go — Munich Wine Bar, Italian and French among them: 6 spots, 3 of them fully vegan, pulled from the 12 we have vetted in the city. Chosen the way locals choose, never through a marketing budget.
Zum Wohl is a Maxvorstadt wine bar on Theresienstrasse where German and Austrian bottles lead and the food is built to sit underneath them rather than compete. That means thin Alsatian-style tarts straight from the oven, seasonal cheese, and a short list that changes more often than a restaurant menu would. Vegetarian options are part of it rather than an addition. Plates come in at around EUR 20. It works as an evening room in a district full of students and university staff, the kind of place where a glass turns into a bottle without any particular decision being made.
A wood-fired pizzeria on Schellingstraße, in the student heart of Maxvorstadt. Lo Studente does one thing — Holzofenpizza — and does it at a price that has kept the university quarter coming back, with a full dining room, phone orders and click-and-collect for anyone taking a box home. There is no attempt at a broad Italian card here; the oven sets the menu. Vegetarian and vegan options are listed, service runs from late morning through the evening, and the room fills with the mix of students, staff and locals that Schellingstraße has fed for decades.
A French brasserie on Preysingstraße, tucked into a residential Haidhausen block rather than a restaurant strip. Chez Fritz keeps the format simple: à la carte brasserie cooking in the evening, one location, no group behind it, and a following built on local recommendation rather than guide listings. The dining room is small enough to feel like a neighbourhood address, and vegetarian dishes appear on the card. There is a terrace for the warm months. For anyone looking for French food in Munich without the ceremony of a fine-dining room, this is the everyday version.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.
Taiwanese specialities and dumplings, cooked in a small Maxvorstadt dining room on Schleißheimer Straße. Song's Kitchen is a two-address Munich operation — a proper sit-down restaurant here, a counter across town — and the food is the Taiwanese end of Chinese cooking rather than a generic Asian menu: dumplings, noodles, home-style plates. Three independent local sources point at it, which in a city this large usually means neighbours rather than visitors. Vegetarian dishes are on the card, there is seating outside, and mains land around the mid-teens in euros.

A Sichuan fusion kitchen on Albert-Roßhaupter-Straße in Sendling, well away from Munich's postcard centre. Yanyou cooks the chilli-and-peppercorn side of Chinese food for a residential quarter that eats here on ordinary evenings, and it turns up on Munich food blogs rather than in guidebooks. The room is small and the card stays close to Sichuan rather than sprawling into a pan-Asian list, with vegetarian and vegan dishes marked. Prices sit in the everyday range, there is a terrace for warm days, and the kitchen runs both lunch and dinner service at the weekend.

South Tyrolean dumplings, taken seriously, on Klenzestraße in the Isarvorstadt. Fink's Südtiroler Knödelküche builds its whole menu on the Knödel — the bread, spinach and cheese dumplings of the Alpine south — served as a plate of food rather than a side, and takes reservations for a single small Munich dining room. Two independent local sources recommend it, and the concept is unusual enough in the city that it draws people across neighbourhoods. Vegetarian and vegan versions are on the card, mains sit around the mid-teens in euros, and there is outdoor seating.
