Sattgrün Köln Kolumba Viertel in Köln

I thought it was perfect. Friendly service and delicious food. 💚😊

Satgrün in Cologne impresses as a modern and consistent restaurant concept dedicated entirely to vegan cuisine. Its central location near the train station makes it easily accessible for Cologne residents visiting the city center for events or city breaks. The "pay-by-weight" concept, featuring an extensive buffet—from a wide selection of salads to a variety of hot dishes—allows for flexible and transparent pricing based on individual plate sizes. The menu is not only diverse but also boasts excellent flavor balance. The dishes are very well-seasoned and impressively demonstrate that a purely plant-based diet can be sophisticated and varied, far removed from simple or limited alternatives. The only area for improvement lies in the organization: As a self-service restaurant, guests are largely responsible for keeping their tables clean. As a result, the seating is occasionally left in a state that slightly detracts from the otherwise very positive overall experience. Conclusion: Satgrün comes highly recommended for anyone who values ​​healthy, flavorful, and innovative plant-based cuisine.

Delicious and varied food! The music is pleasant and not too loud, so you can easily have a conversation 😊

Absolutely overpriced. I'd rather spend that money on a decent steak in 2025.

Everything is vegan, fresh and delicious.

A nice little buffet-style restaurant. Simply choose your plate from three different sizes, fill it at the buffet, and pay at the end...that's it! All vegetarian. I tried four of the approximately ten hot dishes on offer. Two were good, two were very good. You could also have chosen a variety of salads. The service was friendly and the atmosphere pleasant, with music at a pleasant volume, making it easy to chat. The dishes change every three months according to the seasons. I enjoyed the autumn version. The medium plate with a drink cost €20. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Best vegetarian food I've had in a long time! Highly recommended!

Great selection & really tasty 🙌

Filled up a big plate with excellent vegan food.

What a delicious treat. A truly great selection at fair prices. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Delicious fresh vegan food with a wide variety of options! We came back there several time during our stay in Cologne and I highly recommend it!!

Super delicious food! I can recommend it to everyone, and I really hope that more shops will open across Germany.

Rich flavors and delicious taste!

Delicious food, nice people, good service, good value for money. On rainy days, it gets a bit cramped inside... which unfortunately detracts from the ambiance... Better space would be very helpful...

I'm torn between three and four stars. The selection is great, especially for vegan food. Finally, there's plenty of protein. But the food was mostly dry, lukewarm, too fatty, and the vegetables were overcooked. But you get full, which is really rare for vegan food in a restaurant. Maybe I was just having a bad day? Three stars because of the flavored water, which I couldn't identify.

Delicious food and huge slices of cake. Make sure you load up your plate to get the best value for money - but every bite is delicious!

Very varied vegan buffet here. 👍

Super delicious and large selection of food and the staff were more than friendly🌞

A vegan Buffett!? Lets gooo. The roasted veggies and potatoes where so good i forgot where i was. They better do catering or something because i need this place at my wedding.

A great option for vegan dining in Cologne! A sustainable concept and a diverse yet healthy menu, perfect for enjoying your lunch break or stopping by for a coffee in the afternoon. Caution: The line is very long at lunchtime during the week, so it's best to allow some time.

Where's the air conditioning? I feel sorry for the staff. It's so hot in here. But the service is very nice! :)

The food is very tasty and the selection is very varied.

Great experience with delicious food, large selection of dishes and friendly service. We sat outside at one of the many tables. It looked cozy inside but was a bit stuffy with closed windows. Expect to wait a bit in line, as everyone plates their own food at their own pace. The first part is the salad bar, the second part contains the warm dishes. Tried everything and especially liked the tofu and grilled Greek soy chunks. The jackfruit was a bit dry for my taste. Highly recommend and will come again 👍

Good variety and high-quality food. The price is reasonable.

It was very nice, tasty and even inexpensive if you do it right

A large selection of delicious vegan dishes and cakes; I think the buffet idea is great. The staff member was incredibly friendly, and you could really tell she enjoyed her work. I'd love to come back!

A truly great restaurant. I love going there whenever I'm in Cologne. A large selection, and the dishes are clearly labeled.

Very tasty and great drinks. Beer from Neumarkter Lammsbräu.

Very tasty food with a good concept. Great service and friendly staff.

Very tasty buffet. Lots of choice.

simply unbelievably delicious 😋

Awesome selection of vegan food and drink options. You have the option to eat healthy, warm and cold food. It’s a traditional buffet - get a plate, fill it and pay per plate. The outside area is really lovely to eat in on cool evenings and the staff speak both German and English.

They recently upped their prices significantly, and on top took super bowl out of the menu completely. This choice of target audience says something about their idea of veganism to me, truly sad about it as I loved their food and was somehwhat a regular and now I hardly go there as it is pretty overpriced for what it is.

In addition to the delicious food, I would especially like to highlight the service. A huge thank you to Saskia from Sattgrün! She is not only super friendly, but also very attentive and professional. You can immediately tell that her guests are important to her. We would definitely be happy to come back.

You will actually get FULL with delicious GREEN

Amazing all vegan buffet. You pay the price of the plate and then pick your own food. I suggest not loading too much on the cold buffet which mainly consists of raw veggies. Hot buffet has loads of different options with roasted potatoes, fried vegetables, curry, stroganoff mushrooms, beans, pasta, rice etc. You cannot taste everything but it all looks great!

Very suitable for vegans and vegetarians. A nice selection of salads and hot dishes. Unfortunately, the hot dishes, for example, were completely dried out by the heat lamps. Some things were difficult to identify despite the descriptions, and the fried vegetables tasted strongly of old grease. It's a shame! It's also worth mentioning that it's a self-service restaurant. I'd also like to mention the super friendly staff, who were very helpful and patient in explaining everything to us. All in all, not bad; you should give it a try!

Very beautiful experience, you can find so many varieties of food!!!

We had a lovely time here. The food is on the expensive side, especially since it's self-service, but it's of good quality. What would be a super cool would be a note about the approximate amount of protein per 100gram on the itmes.. The person at the till was very friendly. Thank you. See you next time in Koln

Vegans, this restaurant is not to be missed

Delicious food, friendly service, plenty of seating. All vegan <3

Delicious, healthy and fairly priced.

Sattgrün Cologne offers a varied vegan buffet with a wide selection and great flavors. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff make a visit a pleasant one. Just pick what you like – uncomplicated and delicious! 🌱

Very good vegan buffet. A bit cramped. Great alternative to the many chip shops in the old town.

Today, Sattgrün in Cologne was the place to go for food on our city trip. Quite unassuming from the outside and with plenty of seating outside, a small, manageable dining room awaited us inside, inviting us to stay. When ordering drinks, I asked about Sattgrün's concept. The answer is simple and straightforward: you choose one of three plate sizes (small, medium, or large), help yourself to the buffet, which offered plenty of variety, and pay directly at the cash register next to it. The selection included all sorts of delicacies with soy "meat" or jackfruit, plenty of fresh chickpea dishes, sweet potatoes, and fresh vegetables, salads, rice and noodle dishes, as well as sauces, stews, crispy fried tofu, and fresh toppings to sprinkle on. Soups are also offered, but I didn't try them. My choice wasn't difficult: everything! The food looked plentiful and healthy. I think that best describes the Sattgrün concept. Lots of protein and vitamins, yet I wouldn't have to miss the taste. I'm writing this review about twelve hours later, and even though I enjoy two hot meals a day, I still don't feel hungry. The drinks menu is as healthy as it is vegan. Juice spritzers, a homemade lemonade made from kiwi and yuzu, and the occasional alcoholic beverage are on the menu. We each had a refresher – one with rhubarb and one with passion fruit flavor. The prices are quite reasonable for the location. I paid €17.50 (instead of the regular €18.80) and was able to fill my large plate with all the delicacies from the buffet. Sattgrün is definitely already on our list for our next visit to Cologne! The reviews didn't disappoint.

Very nice restaurant with a super delicious selection of vegan food. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The outdoor area is nice and spacious.

I can no longer recommend Sattgrün. The buffet is okay, but it no longer justifies the increased prices. The soups were a good deal, also because of the very good bread (two pieces). Now, a piece of bread, significantly smaller than a hand roll at Merzenich, costs one euro. That's confusing pricing. The staff is typically very friendly, but due to the high turnover, with a few exceptions, they are also slow and inexperienced.

Excellent food. You can fill your plates from the buffet using the modular principle. You pay by the size of the plate, not by the amount you fill. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and there's a large outdoor area. The restaurant is clean, and the food is entirely vegan. The restroom is a bit cramped. The location is very quiet.

I'm not vegan, but I really enjoy vegan food. It was my first time at Sattgrün and I don't regret it one bit. I really enjoyed the food. I like being able to choose what and how much I eat. I also found the atmosphere pleasant. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Low prices adapted to the container and not to the quantity of food, you can make a pyramid on your plate, it's ok as long as it fits in the container, the price remains the same hahaha, so super affordable, good food, warm welcome and the phrase "Until every cage is empty" on one of the walls ❤️💙💚

Excellent, very delicious food, it’s like it was everything made to my taste! Highly recommended!

The cashier was very nice and polite. The food was delicious, and I really appreciated it, as there aren't a single vegan restaurant in the area where we live, and it was nice not to have to cook for a change. The value for money is also great, and the outdoor area is a great place to sit and enjoy. I'd definitely recommend it!

Very highly recommend! Great value for money. You pay for small, medium or large plate and fill with as much of whatever you’d like. Fully vegetarian, very tasty food

A top-notch location. The buffet is well-balanced and delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I would happily dine here again, if my travels didn't take me further north.

Very fair prices for a good vegan buffet. The portions are very generous, so you'll definitely be satisfied.

I was there for the first time today and thought the food was quite good. However, some dishes were overcooked for my liking, a bit burnt. Otherwise, I found the buffet to be very varied.

Despite the pouring rain on our first day in Cologne and the crowdedness in the city due to Pride, we had such good lunch here! I love the buffet style and that everything is vegan 😍. You pick a plate size (small, medium or large), put and whatever food you like on your place and pay at the register. I especially recommend: - roasted cauliflower - roasted pepper - corn - salted baked potatoes(!) If we stayed longer than a few days in Cologne, we would’ve definitely come back here 🌱

Excellent vegan food! If you're new to vegan food or are skeptical, come here! Innovative buffet concept. Great location. Hot and cold buffet (soups are also available). Very, very good cakes, especially lemon cake!

At Sattgrüm, the food is always delicious, with friendly service that fulfills every wish. It's cozy, prices are fair, and everything is cruelty-free. Sensationally good.

The food was truly delicious, so it was worth it. Since it's mostly self-service, it's difficult to speak of service. The ambiance is very nice, but unfortunately, it's quite cramped, and sitting inside isn't so great when you're surrounded by people the whole time. Therefore, in nice weather, the outdoor area is more recommended.

An incredible choice, a warm atmosphere, nothing to complain about, I recommend everything was perfect.

Great shop, delicious and protects the animals.

One of my most favorite restaurants, so many options, and everything is hearty, fresh, filling and absolutely delicious. The cakes are phenomenal, moist and fragrant, a great place to eat healthy and well.

In one meal we doubled our vegetable consumption over a full week in Germany. Also it was delicious and we will be back.

At Sattgrün you can put together your own plate. You can choose from many vegan delicacies - crisp salads, antipasti, hot soups, exotic vegetable curries, delicious pasta dishes, hearty vegetable stews and roasted vegetables. And for dessert, you can choose from cakes and puddings. Everything is vegan and freshly prepared. The plates are graded in size and you pay for that size. I went for small and my husband went for medium. Turns out you can get quite a lot on a plate! Everything there is freshly prepared each day and it's all delicious. Another reviewer mentioned that the food was very salty but I didn't find that at all. It was so nice to go somewhere for proper vegan food, not just the odd dish squeezed in as an afterthought at the end of a 'normal' menu. We went most evenings once we'd discovered it - such delicious food and too good to miss.

Awesome food and a lot of it. Great service and good music

Very tasty and varied vegan buffet.

A very centrally located vegan restaurant that I would always enjoy visiting. The restaurant offers a rich buffet where you can help yourself once for a set price. When we were there, it was very crowded, and we had to wait a long time because the potatoes were gone and the line was stuck. It's quite cramped inside, but in the summer, you can also make use of the outdoor area. The price is a bit higher, but I think it's justified for healthy and fresh food.

I came here three times while visiting the city for a week. The vegan salad/hot bar was amazing. The price point was a little higher but it’s worth it.

We visited Sattgrün for the first time yesterday and enjoyed the great food and the lovely terrace. Everything was delicious and a reason to come back.

The food is incredibly flavorful and offers an excellent variety. The only point for improvement would be the size of the plates: being somewhat small, they don't allow you to try everything you'd like.

Very tasty. Great atmosphere. Self-service.

A nice spot with buffet-style, freshly made food. There are several tasty options to choose from, and you pay depending on the plate size you pick. Great if you’re looking for a flexible and casual meal.

Delicious, but not exactly cheap.

High prices, avoid the restrooms. Otherwise, quite okay.

Quiet, good, varied food. Self-service, but perfectly fine.

This is a really good vegan restaurant, everything is tasty, there is a lot of choice, self-service (you choose between 3 sizes for your plate, that will give you the price of the dish). Right up to dessert it's good and the staff is very pleasant which adds to the pleasure of eating. Go there :)

Great for outdoor dining. Self-service vegan buffet with lovely vegan/bio wines.

We came with allergies and they checked all our food. The girls were charming, attentive, and very kind.

Super delicious. Easily accessible and centrally located in Cologne.

Sattgrün can only be warmly recommended, great ambience, friendly staff and mega delicious food⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely choice of food, all vegan which was great for our group of mixed eaters. Great deal at €8.90 for a large bowl of salads (filling your own) and bread. The bread was quite stale/hard which was a shame but rest of the food was delicious.

Always happy to come back!! A very dear friend from Berlin visited, and she was also thrilled. The cakes are also highly recommended. The food is always perfectly prepared and delicious. The coffee specialties are also worth a visit. Thanks to the team!!

Super delicious and fresh vegan food & very friendly staff. The restaurant is also centrally located in the city center, but on a very quiet street :)

The food itself is very tasty and the prices per portion are fair, but the whole thing comes with a bitter aftertaste, as this restaurant unfortunately seems to have a problem with vermin.

Incredibly delicious! Here you can fill yourself up for less with super-high-quality food. From savory to sweet, everything is delicious. 🌿🌿🌿

A vegan haven in Cologne. Self-service. Great range.

I can eat here without long waits; there's a hot and cold buffet. I particularly like the salad selection, and there's plenty to choose from if, like me, you enjoy classic vegan cuisine without a lot of substitutes. The food is colorful and delicious, the staff is friendly, and the ambiance inside and outside is simple and straightforward, yet pleasant. The prices have increased, but the value for money is justified ✔️ I'd be happy to go back 🙂🍀🍴

Very good vegan cuisine, relaxed self-service.

Ate a vegan “buffet” for the first time (otherwise neither vegans nor vegetarians). Very tasty, just missing a little salt here and there, but you can take that.

Very nice place, modern style with both internal and external seats. Wide choice of refined vegan dishes at the buffet, including hot soups. Young, dynamic and smiling staff. Affordable and relatively cheap prices. I also recommend it to those who avoid vegan cuisine a priori: the choice is truly varied.

I really like the concept! We've been to SATTGRÜN several times and everything, really everything, tastes so good! Very tasty, great selection, everyone should find what they are looking for. Also for non-vegans/vegetarians. We like to get take away every now and then and make fresh rice with it. You can get full twice as much in a large box. The dishes are not spicy but seasoned for a broad taste. But there is chili :) The staff is very friendly.

Super delicious! There's something for everyone, except meat 👍🏽

A fabulous vegan buffet. We had brilliant weather on our trip so we sat outside. The staff were kind and explained the system to us. You grab a plate, bowl, or box from the end and fill up with whatever you fancy. Always chuffed when all options are vegan and everything also tasted great.

Amazing vegan buffet and homemade lemonade. Pleasant outdoor seating area. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Even as a non-vegan, I eat here regularly when I'm in Cologne. Everything super fresh and very tasty!

Super tasty food! Everything was tasty and freshly prepared. A very nice concept. Highly recommended. We will definitely come back (whether in Düsseldorf or Essen, we have the app!!) 😀

Very good food, central location

KFC fans are rethinking their meat consumption! As a meat lover, I picked up a salad from Sattgrün today via ToGoodToGo. There was fried tofu in peanut sauce, vegan gyros and other things. Honestly: I hate things like Brussels sprouts or coleslaw, I have no idea what they did with them, but it was delicious. And these warm things are just amazing! I have never enjoyed vegetables and plant-based dishes so much in my entire life. If I knew how to do this myself, I would live a healthier life. At least I now know that you definitely don't need meat to have a taste orgasm - thank you!
