sattgrün theaterpassage in Essen

Healthy delicious vegan food.. I wish there where more places like this one

Everything tastes great here and the atmosphere is very cozy. I like being here.

Food was super tasty, you choose a plate of a certain size and you pay for it and then you fill that plate with whatever you think would be tasty. Don't be stupid like me. You shouldn't wait at a table until you are helped, you have to go get your own food 😉

Great food, nice ambience. Prices are OK. The toilets are a real no go! That was disgusting. Please make sure to change!

Your cakes taste really delicious 🥰

Simply delicious, great decor, friendly staff and prices are great

Delicious, fresh, great selection of vegan delicacies

Very tasty veggie buffet with a good selection!

Delicious food, large selection at quite a good price

Very nice atmosphere, cozy and quiet. Perfect for vegans, but also for everyone else. Tastes great and is easy to take with you. Highly recommended! 👍

Large selection at the buffet and incredibly tasty food - I'll definitely be back

Great operating concept. Nice service, relaxed location, central yet secluded.

Delicious vegetarian food. Friendly people, relaxed atmosphere

Unfortunately it's often very full...

Rich green, a now well-known gastro concept. At this location, however, it is super clean, the buffet is perfect and visually appealing! 3 employees at lunchtime, a bit thin, so the payment process takes longer, but with a little time and patience still acceptable at lunchtime. It's a shame, and therefore a point deduction: here too, they didn't take into account that there are still mothers who visit the lush green area with strollers; cramped tables and chairs and other unfavorable combinations make it difficult.

Unfortunately we didn't think it was that good. The warm dishes were all cold, a total no go for me. When hot food is cold, I find it pretty disgusting. I found the buffet impractical to get to, as spills can hardly be avoided. It's canteen style, but you pay a lot for it, and the dishes are all quite similar. We just somehow had higher expectations based on the photos and presentations we had seen online. The tray tray wasn't emptied regularly and so you didn't know where to put your trays. Personally, we won't come back a second time.

We actually really enjoy coming to the café but today we were very disappointed. The young lady with the black braid this morning was very unfriendly and not at all hospitable. We paid with the card, the payment was authorized. Your comment that the payment hadn't gone through came like a shot, without even taking a look at the EC device. A very unpleasant experience. If it had been the first time today, it would have been our last visit.

Fantastic food, brilliantly nice service staff and very chill and rather calm atmosphere. Very positive vibe and apparently lots of kind people. I was positively shocked to find such a place.

Very tasty vegan buffet and cakes. However, it would be nice to have some variety in the offerings, so I would come more often. Service very nice. If the weather is good you can also sit outside.

Vegan and very tasty. Friendly. Inexpensive. Nothing to complain about.

The food was super tasty, there was a large selection of cold and warm dishes, and the chocolate cherry cake for dessert was also great. I would like to see more completely vegan restaurants.

Great self-service restaurant. Regarding the ambience, it should be mentioned that it quickly becomes loud when the store is full.

Very tasty, large selection, with the large portions there is always something left over for the next day and the most important thing is completely animal exploitation-free, so vegan ⚖️

The chili is half warm and unfortunately not spicy at all, the gyros and tofu are ice cold. We don't see ourselves visiting again, especially given the prices.

For us as “normal people” it was an absolutely positive surprise how delicious and diverse vegan cuisine can be! I've often taken skeptical friends with me and everyone has been pleasantly surprised! A little more expensive in price, but a clear conscience and something different. Highly recommended are the desserts (any cake, especially the chocolate cake) and the vegan gyros! Cool concept and highly recommended! We always enjoy coming by 👍

Everything was to our complete satisfaction. We will be back and can recommend this store.

For a weekend in Essen... after a lot of meat at Christmas, I opted for this vegetarian restaurant... wow... everything was delicious. Better than schnitzel or a steak...delicious food...recommended

Very good, but a bit overpriced!

Super delicious vegan menu. Definitely recommended. Employees also super friendly

The environment is nice, but cold, it wasn't hot and the restaurant is really big. Food and drink good

Best choice for a really good vegan 🌱 meal with friends or even alone! Large selection at the buffet, which you can put together yourself or also soups. With a friend we decided on soup (he: Indian lentil soup with coconut, me: Chili Con Soja) - the portions are large (you can fill them into bowls yourself) and round off with toppings of your choice (croutons, parsley, spring onions , sunflower seeds) - if you wish, you can also get a free slice of bread. Price performance is absolutely amazing and a big recommendation :)

One of our favorite restaurants. Lots of delicious vegan dishes.

Everything is so delicious and so cozy

I'm not normally vegan. But I was very positively surprised by the taste and appearance of the dishes on offer. Very tasty and very good value for money.

Super delicious food! I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I still enjoy eating here! Great taste and very relaxed atmosphere.

A few weeks ago I discovered “lush green” thanks to a tip. It is a vegan buffet-based restaurant with several branches (including in Düsseldorf). I'm not a vegan myself, just a vegetarian, but I'm certainly open to this experiment. Given the variety and tasty nature of the buffet, one could easily come up with the idea of ​​"switching". You choose one of three plate sizes or a bowl, the rest is self-service. The buffet offers cold and warm dishes (also to take away) and is very rich. The food is freshly prepared and empty bowls are promptly supplied from the kitchen. The dishes can then be rounded off individually with fresh herbs and a variety of herbs, seeds and grains. A soup dish with bread side dishes is also offered, but I haven't tried this yet. Drinks are served directly at the checkout or can be requested there, as can dessert and cake. In my opinion, the food tastes excellent. I particularly recommend the cooked pumpkin. The range of cakes on offer is also not to be sneezed at. The ambience in warm wooden tones is pleasant, although functionally furnished. I found the staff to be friendly and I think the prices are absolutely reasonable. In principle you can also reserve tables here. However, it is advisable to ask here. I would like to come here more often and try out the entire buffet.

The food was great, the service friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere and delicious vegan friendly dishes. Dishes can be prepared in buffet style for take away or dining in. Btw, the cappuccino gets a 9 out of 10!

This restaurant is a discovery. The food is delicious, the choice is enormous, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is extremely pleasant. Definitely worth it and we are already planning to try out the restaurants in Düsseldorf and Köln… or rather enjoy.

The buffet was very tasty, but the cake was unfortunately poor in taste and overly sugary

Nice, rather small restaurant. The food is very tasty. Self-service. I particularly enjoyed the soy stroganoff. The chocolate cherry cake is also sensational. We'd love to come back.

A nice vegan restaurant. Good food, nice service and pleasant atmosphere. I like to come there to eat with friends.

Always a good address if you are looking for delicious, vegan and, above all, varied food. After my last visit, I also consider it suitable for those with celiac disease, despite the buffet principle. The dishes are clearly marked as gluten-free. I don't know whether it was a happy coincidence or deliberate, I had the impression that the gluten-free dishes were in the "back row" or in a separate row. This reduces the risk of contamination enormously because no gluten-containing foods are loaded onto the gluten-free foods. Each container is also equipped with its own cutlery. The only downside is that there is currently no gluten-free cake option. If there were, it would have been 5 stars.

The best vegan place in Essen! Quick, super tasty and with great variety! A must visit!

The food is very tasty!!!! You put your own food together. Various bowls and bowls are available, graded according to size (and price). You have to be careful not to sit in a draft, but otherwise you sit comfortably. If you want to eat vegan, you will be very happy here 🤤

The idea is good but it wasn't delicious.

Great selection, nice service and super tasty 😋

No change over the years, just the price keeps rising. The paint is symbolically peeling off the benches.

Love it, finally a vegan buffet!

The food is delicious and the selection is plentiful. The latte with almond drink is a pleasure... Friendly staff included.

We have always enjoyed the food here so far. Even all the non-vegan people who brought along always had something to do here. The concept of the buffet is good, but the prices are high if you don't "fill up" your plate. It's nice to be able to help yourself to all the dishes at a buffet without having to ask about animal allergens first :) We have now been able to test a few cakes and we have always been very impressed with them. Unfortunately, the hot food is usually only lukewarm, which could be improved. I also find it disturbing that recently homeless people have often been harassing guests in restaurants. I can well understand that the employees don't want to put themselves in danger, but for me as a guest it is a reason for me as a guest to avoid the restaurant in the future if my stay there is influenced by outsiders (and especially their smells when eating are very unpleasant). I haven't experienced this at the other locations so far, perhaps a solution will be found here soon.

The employee takes something from the buffet in front of me and eats it. Where are we here? This is not something that can be taken for granted at all. The girl who did that shocked me. Otherwise the food is always good and of the same solid standard.

For fans of the plant-based lifestyle, eating lush greens is a little oasis of joy. In the summer, the outdoor terrace invites you to linger, but the inside is also very cozy. The young team is always friendly and well motivated. There is also a wide selection of delicious food and drinks. Conclusion: Sattgrün Essen is always worth a visit.

You can also eat it as a non-vegan 😜🤣

I like the food and I like that you don't have to pay attention to what is vegan because everything is vegan. 💚 Tip: Leave room for cake!

Very fresh, well-seasoned dishes that harmonized with each other on the buffet. The quality is much better than you would expect from a self-service restaurant. Nice service and you can sit outside in peace.

Nice staff. Enjoy your meal. Sit comfortably outside.

After an afternoon of bouldering, we went to Sattgrün. We had never heard of the concept of a vegan buffet restaurant (nothing like it in the Netherlands, as far as I know). How wonderful to have so much choice again! The taste of the food was delicious. We had a big plate and a medium plate, and nice and refreshing organic lemonades. Let's hope this (type of) restaurant also lands in the Netherlands!

Simply put: A cute really vegan buffet restaurant with a soup counter. There are different plate sizes to choose from, which you can fill up for a fixed price. The variants of the dishes are listed in the photo. The staff is incredibly accommodating, allergen-informed and friendly on every one of our visits. In addition, the lush green has - a play area - Toilets for guests - great drinks & A cute cake counter

Great selection of food. We were guests there as "meat eaters" and didn't miss anything. You also have to be open to new things. You can choose between small, medium and large plates, which you can then fill yourself from the buffet. The toilet is in the basement and can only be reached via stairs. You can also linger in the outdoor area and enjoy the day.

The staff was amazing! Super fun and diverse. I LOVED the black guy so much (I think his name was Stefano?). Definitely would recommend 😌!

The staff was very friendly and fast, I actually made a friend : Stefano, who spoke French and was so caring about us, thank you for that experience The food was good, but something in it (maybe the oil??) made me very sick right after finishing my plate

Always a very tasty selection of vegan food.

Always extremely tasty!!! :-) Also for those who don't normally eat vegan!

Great concept for anyone who wants to eat healthily. Always delicious and creative ideas. I'm thrilled and hope that Sattgrün can establish itself in other major cities in North Rhine-Westphalia.

I found it incredibly tasty (especially the savory dishes), I was absolutely positively surprised at how well everything harmonized, even though I had thrown it together quite wildly. You could sit very relaxed inside or outside and the service was great.

ABSOLUTELY amazing food, the crumble and the Mediterranean bowl were out of this world, thank you for this blessed food ✨☺️

Delicious food in Essen. Vegan and organic. Top quality 😋

Highly recommend! We chose three normal-sized dishes for 16.5€ each, and they were more than enough for each person! (Essen Stadtmitte >600m bis HBF)!

Really delicious, spicy food and a wide variety of both warm and cold at the buffet. The employees are always super nice and helpful. My parents, who are now almost 80 years old, love the lush green. It's nice to always find a mixed audience there, young and old 🙂 We always feel right at home.

Lots of choice and delicious food. Also great to take with you and eat on the go.

Delicious vegetarian food in a friendly atmosphere

This place is amazing. Buffet style with so much choice and all vegan! Price is perfect for the amount of food you can put in the bowls. And everything tasted just delicious. We weren't planning on it, but we came back for lunch the next day :)

Very tasty, great buffet, real prices. Perfect for flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans. And those who want to become one.

We had a very tasty and inexpensive vegan meal here. We would like to come again.

The food was very tasty and fresh 👍🏻. The medium plate size was 14.90 euros - see photo and the soup was 6.90 euros plus 2 slices of bread. The ambience outside is a bit shabby and could be repaired ;-) (a seat bar is missing, the guest cannot sit there). I gave three points for the service because it is a self-service restaurant.

Very tasty vegan food, soups and cakes.

Food is always freshly prepared and very tasty. Very diverse for every taste and very well priced.

Unfortunately I have to deduct two stars. The food is very good, unfortunately the prices are constantly increasing. The limit will soon be completely crossed.

Super lovely people and very tasty food with a huge selection! I took a small box to go and it was completely enough ☺️

Very nice atmosphere, have eaten there several times and it has always been tasty. A great selection of vegan dishes, a pleasant atmosphere to eat with friends or family. The toilets are in the basement and not easy to access with a wheelchair.

The food is ok, but far too expensive for the quality offered, because unfortunately it is often only lukewarm, often already soggy and overcooked and, above all, a lot of it seems greasy. There are much better addresses there. However, cake and coffee are very tasty and still provide a reason to go to Sattgrün.

Very good fast food in slow food quality

Just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Essen's city center, you can find delicious vegan food from the buffet in the Theaterpassage, which should have something for every taste. The restaurant is well maintained and clean, the service staff is friendly. One star deducted because the food could have been a little warmer. Otherwise everything was great, I'd love to come back.

Nice, exclusively vegan restaurant in downtown Essen. The concept of a hot buffet priced based on plate size is really good. The atmosphere is modern and inviting. The seating is not very comfortable, but it is enough for eating. The guest room is quite small for the number of guests and therefore it is often quite loud. The service is friendly. Since you're filling your own plate, the service is mainly limited to the payment process. Most of the dishes there are really tasty and creative. Unfortunately, the food is almost always lukewarm.

As a personal trainer, I always enjoy eating here. Healthy, tasty and very filling. Staff super friendly. Fully recommended

Good selection for occasional visits, varied salad bar due to the speed of the buffet, not all dishes are warm. Mostly still quite tasty. Something for almost everyone

Delicious vegan buffet restaurant. Good selection and decent quality at a reasonable price.

Cozy vegan restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. The chocolate cake with cherries is awesome! We met such nice people at the neighboring table that we forgot to take photos.

Best decision! Lots of vegan delicacy!! 🌱🌱🌱 Had the middle plate and left super full

Extremely delicious. Always my pleasure.

It was quite tasty but expensive

Fair prices and super delicious food! 🌱

I really enjoy eating here with my daughter. Very tasty, very friendly and not that big. A nice restaurant.

The food is very good. Even if you're not vegan, you'll still be full. However, the prices are steep.

Super delicious salad and hot food bar for self-service. The staff was super nice, everything was very hygienic ❤️ we would love to come here again

Was there for the first time. The staff were very nice and helpful. The location itself is also very nice and pleasant. Food great too! Gladly again :D

The food tastes simply amazing. Unfortunately it's usually very full.

Very great concept, very good food, not a single failure in the bowl, huge selection, friendly service, more than reasonable prices

Delicious, reasonably priced, super nice service. A nice restaurant 👍🏻👍🏻
