Försters - Das Vegane Restaurant in Berlin

Outstanding and really good. Good bourgeois, like we've never experienced in vegan before. Excellent food, service and wine selection. Feel-good atmosphere. A must for every vegan, we will come back next time we are in Berlin.

I would have liked vegan dishes that didn't look like a schnitzel.

There were four of us with a vegan meal. It was Schnitzel Monday. First of all I would like to say: We three non-vegans found the food very tasty and recommended. Even as a heavy meat eater, I didn't miss anything. But I would like to mention one point: We went to this restaurant because the menu says that every schnitzel can also be ordered as a chicken schnitzel. With an additional charge of €5.50 If you have children with you who are not used to eating vegan, this is quite an alternative. Since I've already been to a few vegan restaurants, I assumed that if it said "chicken schnitzel" on the menu, that's what I'd get. Vegan restaurant or not. After the meal it was explained to me that it wasn't meat but that the chicken schnitzel was simply from another vegan manufacturer. My son (8 years old) didn't notice. So, as described above, it was probably very good. But I still think that's a deception, because on the menu the "chicken schnitzel" isn't marked with an asterisk or in any other way as a vegan alternative. If I had known that, I would have saved myself the extra charge of €5.50 or wouldn't have gone to the restaurant at all

I wish I liked it, but I simply didn’t. I loved the concept of the restaurant however both the food and the sauces just weren’t good. Bland tastes and questionable pairing of sauces with the dishes. We had high expectations but were sadly disappointed.

Delicious food that everyone should try and very friendly service

Very tasty dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. We came spontaneously and without a reservation and the staff still organized a table for us with good will. The vegan German dishes were super tasty....nobody missed the dead animal 😉. 10/10 recommendation!

Very, very tasty food and the staff were very nice :)

Exceptional food, lots of vegan options. We had the schnitzel and dürum donner, both were great.

Made a reservation to have a good vegan dinner before Moby’s gig at the Velodrome. We shared a cucumber soup and some chantarelle bruschettas. The soup was tasty and bruschettas had character. As main we both ate the sojaschnitzel. The schnitzel was crispy and tasty and the plate had good sides - potato and cucumber salads, so it wasn’t too heavy. Proper restaurant. Peaceful neighbourhood, easy to reach.

Very good restaurant, it has a different menu from most other vegan places and veganizes known German dishes. I just don’t understand why there was tiramisu on the desert menu (it didn’t taste or look much like a tiramisu). The schnitzel was the best! Also the side dishes are very good and huge portions.

Definitely a 10/10! The food was delicious, the service was also super friendly and accommodating. Gladly again!!

I can recommend very good vegan food to anyone who is in Berlin

That was my first visit to Försters, but not my last! I had a three course meal with wine pairing and the food was brought to the table very quickly. It was really very tasty and the service was very accommodating and friendly. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Berlin!

The food was good. I particularly enjoyed the side dishes and the sauce. The service was great. Very friendly and very fast. For me the ambience is rather cool/simple. It's definitely worth a visit.

The waitress brought the glasses with her fingers inside the glasses. The service wasn’t very friendly. The appetizer (cheese wedges) were okay but the portion was very small and overpriced. The Pfefferling main with Knödel was very heavy and underwhelming; the mushroom part was just mushroom cream and salt. Some of the Knödel pieces were black on one side (multiple people on the table). The price does not reflect the quality of the food unfortunately.

Vegan, feel-good home cooking and really great wines. We go to Försters regularly and have never been disappointed.

An excellently put together vegan menu. Paired with the right wines. Here too, the right accompaniment. A very tasty chanterelle/seitan dish. Everything just tasted great. The service staff answered our questions patiently. It was very nice and friendly. You felt “lifted”. We'll be back.

Birthday meal in Berlin, free glass of prosecco for me and my partner and very impressed with the food. Crispy vegan schnitzel with great service.🌱

Food was very good, service felt like it was a bad day. Even when there were hardly any guests left, it always took a long time until she was back at our table.

Very tasty and really good sized portions. Can only be warmly recommended. Especially the strawberry tiramisu.

Very nice place, with a completely vegan and very varied menu. Very tasty dishes (perhaps the "pork" one too much) and plentiful. The fifth star is missing due to the very high bill. An appetizer, a first course and a dessert each, with a coke and a water, 46 euros each

We had a very good time and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Good food, we were happy to be able to try some typical German food, veganised.

Loved that they had a special chanterelle menu, but I did not see a creamy chanterelle soup as an option. (Maybe the creamy chanterelles with dumplings was their version of it.) I started with the beautiful soup of the day: a cold cucumber soup that was 50% dill and garnished with well-marinated king oyster mushrooms. The nonalcoholic Riesling was a bit sweeter than I expected but still hit the spot. The grilled chicken breast (possibly seitan-based) with sautéed chanterelles and truffled mashed potatoes was delightful. But the strawberry tiramisu, although nicely presented and came with four very different fresh fruits, was not a tiramisu in the traditional sense. It’s more accurately a cream cake with strawberry sauce on top. My fault for ordering a tiramisu at a German restaurant. The staff were kind and accommodated my request for tap water and refilling it: maybe they knew I was thirsty after a hot day of museum-going. I’d love to come back for their schnitzel (regular menu) and döner (Thursday special). FYI, the Tuesday special was a club sandwich with fries.

A delightful place, serving lovely traditional German food, without cruelty to animals. Very welcoming staff, especially for our wedding anniversary. Thank you :)

The concept of rustic vegan cuisine really appealed to me personally. The selection of starters and main courses on the menu was clear. There was also a seasonal chanterelle menu and a summery Friday menu with or without wine accompaniment. The dishes were mostly seitan or tofu based. I chose one of the most expensive main courses, the slice of truffle and potato puree with chanterelles. Excellently prepared, although the flavor of the slice was a bit weak and the quantity was kept rather small for dessert. My companion's soy schnitzel looked extremely thin, was crispy and had the appearance of the Viennese original, even when combined with the fresh cucumber and potato salad. There was also a delicious beer that was previously unknown to me. As I said, the dessert mentioned was necessary. It was intended as a strawberry tiramisu, but was more like a small, beautifully presented cake with strawberry sauce and a fruit side dish. A pleasant end to the evening for two people. At around 80 euros for two people, it's not exactly cheap, but as a fan of everyday plant-based cuisine, I found the not-too-hipster concept very good, even if there are always discussions about meat substitutes and their naming in this context at the table. It doesn't bother me at all because most people of this time grew up with schnitzel, steak, cheese, cream and butter and habits are difficult to change. At this point we should also mention the well-known eggplant-based Vering dish, which was the cheapest dish on the menu at 17 euros. Will try this on the next visit...

Great cuisine! The team is very friendly, but we could have asked for drinks more often. The kitchen is really great, we enjoyed it very, very much! And this sensational sustainability, especially since no animal had to be tortured or killed for it! We'll be back!

High level vegan food, nice place and young guys serving. A little expensive, but worth it.

It's a very nice place. The food is literally amazing

An impressive experience if you're a vegan looking for well executed "meat" dishes. I especially liked the cold cucumber soup with scallops! We also got the vegan steak and pork. These were also good, but not as exceptional flavor and texture wise as the soup. Friendly staff.

Had the BEST evening! The service was kind, welcoming and great from entering to leaving. The "chicken" schnitzel with ligonberries and side of potato and cucumber salad was amazing - I could eat it everyday. Definately coming back next time I am in Berlin! The desert was delicious too. It was not busy on a Monday evening and we did not feel rushed in the slightest. Also, the food came really quick 🥳

Das Restaurant ist rustikal eingerichtet. Das gefällt mir. Das Personal ist nett, waren aber unterbesetzt. Ich hatte das vegane Hähnchenschnitzel. Das war schlicht nicht gut. Wenn die Panade 3 x dicker ist, als der Inhalt, der höchsten 2mm maß, kann das nichts werden, auch bei einem echten Hähnchen nicht. Kurzum: das Schnitzel war knochentrocken und steinhart. Der Gurken- und Kartoffelsalat waren gut. Dafür 21,-€ - das geht nicht!! Meine Tochter hatte den Matjes. Das Essen war wunderbar und mit 17,-€ völlig OK.

Incredible food! I had the vegan chicken schnitzel and it tasted incredibly good and authentic. 10/10 would eat again

Everything went well, gladly again ;)

This restaurant lives up to its reputation! Every dish is well thought out and tastes sophisticated! Everything is reasonably priced and the portions are more than sufficient! The recommendation for vegan food in Berlin.

Normally I'm never completely satisfied with the typical German dishes that I know from home, because they usually taste different from my mother's. But here I was really extremely excited! The cucumber salad, the fried potatoes, the meat dishes - it really tasted exactly how it should taste! And then 100% vegan! Really hearty and tasty. A good selection of dishes, as well as a changing seasonal menu. There was a greeting from the kitchen at the beginning, the staff is very friendly. The portions of the main courses were so large and filling that we unfortunately couldn't manage any more dessert. It's a little more expensive, but worth every penny as everything is very fresh, the dishes are very unusual and apparently the vegan meat is also handmade. The only negative point is that it is unfortunately not very comfortably furnished. But still: Försters is my new favorite restaurant for German dishes!

The Försters even impressed my 81-year-old father, he is generally very open to vegan food and the three of us enjoyed everything very much. Schnitzel, chanterelles, cheese wedges, wine and beer. Thanks to the service.

It was fantastic, super friendly staff, best food and definitely something special. It wasn't the first time I was here and definitely not the last time.

Soy and "chicken" schnitzels both very tasty. Service was quick and friendly.

Amazing place for unique vegan food

The food at this place was simply fantastic. If you want to try an authentic vegan Wiener schnitzel, this is the place. From starters to desserts, this place knows how to deliver high-quality vegan food! I would definitely recommend the strawberry tiramisu, which was as delicious as it sounds. The atmosphere was a bit of a let-down, to be honest. Many other reviews mention that making a reservation is the smart thing to do, but when we arrived at around 18:00 there was almost no-one there. This made for a bit of a quiet experience in the restaurant. While the service was quick and friendly, it almost felt a bit rushed. We had not even finished the starters yet before the next round came. Overall, we had a great experience but there were some things that could have been a little better.

Service unfreundlich, Essen lieblos angerichtet, Schnitzel trocken und überwürzt. Schade, wir waren schon oft hier und der Service ist in letzter Zeit total unfreundlich geworden und nicht aufmerksam. 3 Servicekräfte stehen hinter der Theke und unterhalten sich anstatt sich um die wenigen Kunden zu kümmern. Ohne Reservierung wird man abgewiesen, obwohl das Restaurant leer war. Wir haben dem Restaurant dann noch eine 2. Chance einige Monate später gegeben, wieder abgewiesen. Weil gerade ein Gewitter kam, durften wir uns draußen hinsetzen. Nach 5 Minuten im Regen durften wir dann komischerweise drinnen sitzen, obwohl ja alles reserviert sei. Nach einer Stunde haben wir das Restaurant verlassen und es waren immer noch maximal 5 Tische belegt, Rest war leer. Da sieht man, dass die 3 Servicekräfte einfach keine Lust auf Arbeit haben! Sehr schade, war früher wirklich ganz anders!!!

It couldn't be better: very, very tasty and great service! Very good non-alcoholic white wine!

My husband said the chicken schnitzel tastes exactly like the real deal.

Surprisingly tasty dishes with good matching wines and a nice atmosphere. In short: highly recommended.

Food Starters Vegan Cheese Wedges with Salad. My non vegan said it was very nice, and tasted like real cheese! They said I needed to order my own if I wanted any! Soup of the day (cauliflower) was tasty. Main I had the vegan roast beef, it was to die for! Definitely one of the best vegan meals I’ve eaten. The roast beef was so different to any vegan meat I’ve ever eaten, full of flavour, an interesting and delightful texture. My dad had the vegan chicken snitzel, which I tried too, I didn’t personally like it as much. I wasn’t as keen on the flavours of the cucumber salad and potato salad, but that’s just a personal preference. Many I’m sure would enjoy the flavours. The snitzel was ok, fairly standard. But I had already been blown away by the vegan roast beef! Desserts Tried two, both great. Don’t miss dessert either. This is one of those places I’d say go for three courses, especially if you are a tourist like us. Vibe Soft lighting inside, outside seating under the verandah on cobbled floor. Chilled background music I’m only in the city for a few days, and usually I would be quite strict and not be tempted to go to the same place twice - to see as much as possible. But I want to make an exception for this place and have already picked out what dishes I want to order myself next time before we leave Berlin. The restaurant is more in suburbia, a little away from the main tourist places. But I thoroughly recommend, do make the trip!

One of the best Vegan places, great atmosphere, menu, presentation and quality of the food.

The food with meaty names was good. Maybe there was a ceiling light missing in the corner, but otherwise it was ok. The service was nice. All in all I was satisfied.

I had dinner at this restaurant and appreciated the kind and efficient service, as well as the fully vegan menu and the use of seasonal products. For a starter, I had the vitello tonnato. The texture of the vegan meat was quite chewy and reminiscent of wet bread, which I didn't particularly enjoy, but I did like the flavor of the sauce. For the main course, I ordered vegan chicken with chanterelles and truffle potato purée. The chanterelles were nice but could have been more seasoned, in my opinion. I was also disappointed that the purée had no truffle flavor, especially since the dish costs €27. The vegan chicken was relatively bland, but I liked its texture and mixed it with the chanterelles for more flavor. I didn't have dessert since the main portion was very satisfying. The room is a bit dark and felt somewhat empty, so you might prefer sitting outside.

Very tasty vegan home cooking. Absolutely recommended 😊👍🌱

Had the schnitzel with "fried egg", potato salad and cucumber salad. Everything was absolutely delicious. In addition, the atmosphere is lovely and the personnel is friendly and nice. Loved it and definitely recommend to drop by.

Everything was great. Just know that cash payments are not possible. The food was very tasty and the service knew an answer to every question or went to someone and asked. Great

Absolute favorite place when it comes to great vegan food and friendly service.

Everything vegan, something very healthy for my taste, few vegetables.

The food was delicious. The service was friendly and took care of us. Price was reasonable. The facilities and atmosphere were nice.

The vegan "chicken" schnitzel with potato salad, pickles and lingonberry jam was absolutely delicious. I wish I could magically transfer Fösters to my home town so I could try every dish on the menu.

We had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews. Whilst the staff were very pleasant, sadly the food didn't meet expectations. Portions were far too big to need more than one course. Caesar salad was served with hot chicken slices and chewy croutons that you were unable to get a fork through. The aubergine "herring" was basically raw and served with a creamy sauce that made for a quite unpleasant texture and eating experience. The bruschetta was tasty as was the schnitzel but again too large to enjoy as an overall experience. Maybe we were unlucky with our meal choices from reading other reviews but wouldn't recommend based on our experience.

Excellent German food with great customer service.

recommended for everyone who wants to taste delicious traditional German cuisine in a vegan version

Whoever likes it! Everything was freshly prepared, but it took a very long time. There was very little going on.

I used to really enjoy going to Försters because they had delicious and vegan dishes. Unfortunately, the quality has declined significantly in the last two years. This was probably my last time there and unfortunately I was very disappointed. I was particularly shocked by the prices. 20€ for 4 sticks of asparagus, a few potatoes and a bit of tasteless hollandaise is really excessive and in my opinion no longer justified. The price-performance ratio is absolutely not right here. When it comes to taste, you can't go wrong with asparagus and potatoes, but there wasn't even a side salad on the plate for the price. The hollandaise tasted like absolutely nothing. I was a long-time customer, but I probably won't come back.

Very creative vegan menu. Service was excellent. Atmosphere low key and friendly. Avoid the vegan schnitzel if you don't like fried foods

Without a doubt, the best restaurant I had the chance to discover during my stay in Berlin. You will discover regional specialties in their vegetable version and the menu changes with the seasons, always favoring local fruit and vegetable harvests. The evening we went there with my friend, we were able to discover cheese spaetzle and roast beef von der färse. I opted for the piece of meat and it was simply astonishing. It’s been 10 years since I’ve had this kind of feeling again! It was delicious and the rhubarb crumble that I had for dessert was also very, very good. In short, an address where I will not fail to return.

Good food, very attentive and friendly service

Unusual and good. Very good food with high quality ingredients. Converting German cuisine to vegan is a very good idea, and it deserves encouragement. A good selection of wines to go with it. The service is very friendly and accommodating. Prices a little higher. Invites you to visit again.

Nach einer Stunde stellte das Personal fest, dass sie die Bestellung vergessen hatten, dann war der Spargel ungeschält, der Lax schmeckte.... sehr undefiniert. Wenigstens wurden die Getränke von der Rechnung genommen, dennoch: never again!

Once again Försters delivers. Thanks to some public transport issues we were very late, we phoned ahead and they held the table for us, and went out of their way to relax us when we got there late and flustered. The asparagus soup was incredible, and reason enough to visit. We tried two different kind of Schnitzels, one soy, one vegan chicken. Both accompanied with their potato salad (which has pickles, capers and apple in it), cucumber salad and lingonberry preserve. As always the service is a delight, it's very well priced for the quality of the food, with a neat little beer selection and it's just downright delicious vegan food.

Truly a must-visit for vegans in Berlin. Good vibes, great interior and the food is fantastic.

In many restaurants it is difficult as a vegan to find anything to eat...at Försters the difficulty lies in having to choose one of the many delicious dishes. Great service and delicious food across the board.

We always enjoy going to Försters. Varied and delicious dishes, fair prices and the friendly, relaxed approach of the service always makes us feel welcome. Our number 1 place in Berlin.

The food is good but way too expensive!

Small menu, fresh preparation, high quality food. For the vegan palate who wants some good “German” food, Försters is the perfect place. The restaurant itself appears upscale and elegant. The dishes are reasonably priced but not for those on a budget. All in all worth a visit!

The best vegan schnitzel I've ever eaten. The beer takes some getting used to, but it's definitely a matter of taste. Gladly again :)

We had a great evening and enjoyed a very delicious meal

The vegan schnitzel here was so amazing! It came with potato salad and cucumber salad, and it honestly blew my mind how good it was. Service was super fast and friendly as well.

If you like schnitzel you will cry. You will cry for happyness! I have never eatin - probably also before to become vegan - a so much delicous cordon bleu, as that I ate tonight. Perfectly fried and with a kind of ham and cheese inside, that cross beyond the perfect flavour of the perfect food. Staff very friendly, beer (von fass) very good and the right price for the quality and quantity of food. Try it: you will thank me for this suggestion.

Can only recommend. Very good food, with veganized German classics, not many choices of dishes, but this is actually good because this way the kitchen can focus on a selection of dishes and guarantee their quality. Service was ok, but not exceptional, but we also came in 1 hour before closing, so this is somewhat understandable.

Great food, with attention from the kitchen, great service, super large and extremely tasty desserts

First-class ambience, friendly service and excellent food

It was now my fifth visit and every time the food was great! Service is sometimes a bit sloppy, but in a charming way. Berlin. Absolutely recommended.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was excellent!

Nice employees and the best vegan schnitzel I've eaten in the last 6 years. Also fair prices for great portions. Highly Recommended!

Wonderful schnitzel with delicious drinks and an incredibly warm, cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. Just the right place for vegan German food and one of the best places in Prenzlauer Berg and probably all of Berlin. Friends Not Food <3

***WARNING. HAIR IN FOOD*** I get here and it immediately smells like sewage. Horrible smell. But I was too tired to go anywhere else after being jet lagged and a day of travel. I get the marinated vegan beef as a starter. I find A BLONDE HAIR in it. The waitress with short hair apologizes and brings out a new one. At the end of the dinner they still charged me for it. Where I’m from, in America, they don’t charge you if you find hair or anything disgusting in your food. I asked them why I had to pay when they found hair in it. They didn’t really give me an answer. Where I’m from that’s rude to still make the person pay when you FIND HAIR IN THE FOOD. This place is super nasty and the food is cold and disgusting. The woman with the short brown hair is rude. What a disgrace.

The service was nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the store is very cold and uncomfortable. The walls are bare and full of stains and scratches. The vegan meat alternatives were creative. Unfortunately the food was seasoned a bit boring. The side dishes were too few and relatively listless. Way too many onions on both plates and not enough other vegetables. The price also seems too high for the food in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant.

Best vegan restaurant I know. German cuisine in vegan 💚

It was a great evening and excellent vegan food!

Very attentive and friendly staff and the food was great! I'd be happy to come back at the next opportunity!

Wonderful vegan schnitzel. Also with live music - pretty cool ; )

We like the restaurant very much and always enjoy coming back!

Highly Recommended! We will come back several times to probably try the whole menu :)

Very nicely decorated restaurant with delicious German home cooking! If you still need to convince people that vegan cuisine can also be hearty and hearty, you're in the right place with the schnitzels and the like at Försters!

Just fine! The menu mainly includes German “classics” in a vegan version. We had four different dishes and everything was delicious, and the service was also very friendly. The prices are a little higher, but I still think they are reasonable.

The vegan meat dishes were extremely tasty, and the bedside tables were also very delicious. The service was very attentive and friendly. We would love to come back.

The trilogy ice cream is amazing 😍

Delicious vegan home cooking that I would happily recommend. I think the selection of non-alcoholic wine is particularly cool. The atmosphere could be more comfortable but the staff is even friendlier. Overall a recommended experience.

Below expectations - the schnitzel is definitely tastier in the supermarket. Price performance is also not particularly good with main courses around 20 EUR.

Food was good, especially the schnitzel. Not mindblowingly good though and €21 is definitely a bit steep for the quality. Service wasn’t great either.

Really nice veganized traditional German food. The desserts were delicious. That vegan white chocolate mousse was something I wasn't expecting to be that great but it was really delicious. The creme brulee was also really delicious. Overall, I recommend anyone to go have a nice meal there. Please book before hand as it is always full.

Great vegan restaurant with very good “traditional German” dishes.

Toilets could be cleaner. Food was wonderful :)
