Tonka Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

I went to Tonka yesterday with a friend. She had chosen it, which is why I hadn't read any reviews beforehand. My first impression of the ambiance was rather "so-so." But the food – a feast for the senses. All the individual components come across beautifully, but also in combination. I was truly pleasantly surprised. For me, this falls under the "star-level" category – including the presentation of the dishes. The menu is small, but changes every six weeks, as only regional products are used. And it's ALL vegan. 😍 The service was excellent and very attentive. Along with a welcome from the chef, bread was also served. So, I'll definitely be back! 👌🏼

A true highlight for special vegan food in Frankfurt. (Casual) fine dining but still a super relaxed, friendly atmosphere! The dishes are creative and delicious; you can tell the cooking is done with love. Felix and James, the two waiters (very sweet little guys), were attentive and professional, and we received excellent advice, especially on questions about the wines. We felt completely at home and would gladly return!

Best vegan brunch! Mega tasty!

Very nice restaurant. Quiet and pleasant ambiance, friendly service, and creative vegan food 😊

Tonka takes an exciting approach. Unfortunately, the dishes don't keep up. We've eaten at Tonka several times because we love the idea of ​​focusing on vegetables and mushrooms instead of meat, as they're often more digestible and can taste just as good. The challenges: aroma and texture. Tonka struggles with both. On all our visits, there was one course that was truly delicious. But the other dishes fell short in comparison. Either they try to coax flavor out of the vegetables with roasted aromas—but this tastes quite burnt (as if they've been left in the oven too long or quickly flamed afterward). Or they combine fruity with earthy flavors. This is particularly tricky and sometimes goes wrong. The textures are often sloppy. I remember a baked Romanesco that was simply drowned in a sauce. I felt so sorry for this beautiful (fractal) vegetable. Or a cauliflower drowned in a pink, starchy mush. It just doesn't look good. And it doesn't taste good either, because the flavors blend inharmoniously (and are often too acidic). The dishes generally look poor, and the plates are poorly arranged. The food is either haphazardly arranged on the plate (this was the case with a mushroom dish) or smeared together (often with sauces or mashed dishes). At least you can't tell how the food is supposed to be presented. At the very least, you shouldn't drown the main course in mush. We often found ourselves eating a course despite, not because of, its appearance. Unfortunately, the appearance often extends to the food: It's often just mush. Very good for people with declining bite ability. We feel underwhelmed by the textures. A few nuts don't add any crunch, but seem completely random. Why not try frying or baking something crispy? Vegetables, on the other hand, often have too many burnt or bitter roasted flavors. The service is friendly and makes up for one or two of the food's weaknesses. The ambiance shows its age. However, the intended vintage charm could have used a few updates. Some of the furniture is poorly designed (except for one small, cozy corner). And it smells bad. We gave Tonka several chances. But the negative impressions have become more entrenched over time. It's a shame, because the location and the idea are good.

A fantastic vegan restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious, fresh, and prepared with regional ingredients. Add to that the friendly service and beautiful ambiance – an all-around perfect experience. Highly recommended!

€10 for hummus. A product sale of less than €1. People, people.

Fine vegan cuisine. It's made with seasonal vegetables, beautifully presented, and tastes fantastic. Be sure to try the tonka bean mousse, it's a dream! Some non-alcoholic drinks are also homemade, and worth a try. A definite recommendation for special vegan food in Frankfurt.

Great food, great service with great explanations of the dishes and drinks. We had a great evening here.

Incredibly good food and super friendly and attentive service. We felt very comfortable and had a truly special meal. I'm looking forward to the next time!

Very, very tasty food, good service, and an authentic atmosphere! 100% recommendation 🙏🏼

Complicated vegan food. Creative recipes, fancy style to serve. Delicious! Deserves Micheline star.

The food here is simply amazing! From the first appetizers to the final dessert, each dish is truly delightful. Everything is prepared with a real love for gastronomy: subtle taste, harmonious combination of ingredients and perfect presentation. Appetizers pleasantly surprise with their originality, main courses - with richness and balanced aromas, and desserts - a real culmination of the meal, exquisite and memorable. This is not just a meal, but a real culinary journey in which you want to linger. The restaurant invites you to take your time - here you can fully enjoy the tastes, try something new and truly feel the texture and depth of each dish. The atmosphere in the establishment is conducive to a calm, thoughtful dinner: cozy, stylish and unobtrusive. The staff is polite and attentive, always ready to help with the choice. I definitely recommend it to everyone who appreciates high-quality cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere. This is a place where you want to come back again.

Delicious, innovative cuisine with friendly service in a cozy, pleasant side street (we sat outside) and a superb dessert 😍

The restaurant's menu is updated every two months, reflecting the seasonality of the products and the creative approach of the chef. For example, one of the recent menus featured dishes such as potato roll with mushrooms and white wine sauce, as well as baked polenta with crispy vegetables and aromatic sauce. The dessert made a special impression - airy tonka mousse with berry coulis and cocoa nibs, which became a real end to the evening.

Prices too high, service very nice

Best food in quite some time. The menu is small, but everything sounded great. And it tasted great.

An incredibly delicious dinner!! A unique cuisine at a very fair price. The menu was very unusual, creative, and incredibly delicious – a completely vegan menu, from the food to the drinks. It started with a welcome from the chef and homemade sourdough bread. The portions were also very generous (the price seems a bit high at first, but it's absolutely fair for what you get and the exceptional quality). And we didn't have to wait long. But not only was the food amazing, the staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming – they felt more like friends than service staff. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back. ☺️ Highly recommended for a special evening!

The staff is very friendly and the cafe looks really nice. I only ordered a dessert with coffee, but I was very satisfied. I ended up here by chance and will definitely come back.

Overall it was very tasty with unusual flavor ideas that were a treat for the taste buds. The wine selection is also very select and the wine recommendations suit your personal taste. Thanks to the good tips for other restaurants and cafés, our weekend in Frankfurt turned into an unforgettable culinary trip. Thank you for this lovely evening and the many great experiences!

We like to go here. Super friendly waitresses who not only take orders and serve food. There's also a little chat involved. A lot of effort is always put into the menu and a lot of ideas are included. However, small adjustments are also possible if desired. An extra side dish or a little more of a part for the part that was prepared with alcohol does not have; is possible. When it comes to drinks, there are interesting and excellent tasting non-alcoholic offerings. As a vegan who follows an alcohol-free diet, you are in very good hands here.

Great location, great food, outstanding & very warm service 🫶🏻

Good restaurant with nice service. The meals were of high quality. However, in some cases these are very small, even for the high prices.

Unfortunately now this. After the old owners were ousted, there was hope that it would remain down-to-earth. Well, now it's neither down-to-earth cuisine nor down-to-earth pub. It's a high-class restaurant that doesn't taste bad per se, but it's simply not needed in the area. Unfortunately, it has a bit of an aftertaste here

Visited Tonka many times, but this is the first time I got dissapointed. The spinach knudle I chose was too salty, the sause was bland, and the price was unreasonably high for a main dish made of leftovers. This dish should be dropped from the menu. Everything else was great.

Very nice welcome and generally friendly staff. The homemade lemonade was really tasty, even if it was expensively priced like Frankfurt. The food was partly very good (tonka sandwich) and partly mediocre (matcha pancakes), but that is of course subjective. Will definitely come back again and then the 5* will definitely be there.

Food, service and ambience were perfect. Rarely have we eaten something so beautifully thought out and regional and seasonal. It's a shame that there can't be such a great restaurant in every city. We'll be back! (Please keep the dessert on the menu ;-)

We went to Tonka to try something new. The map was small and compact and I really liked that. Everything sounded super tasty and new. Unfortunately, the food didn't perform so well. (The menu changes constantly so I'm only reviewing this meal.) The kitchen treat was mushroom broth and it was delicious and something new! Unfortunately the bread with butter was very dry and had to be chewed a lot and for a long time. The butter could be seasoned more, perhaps with salt? Starters were okay but everything tasted very bland… no taste explosions. The spinach dumpling was soooo dry! The red cabbage is totally unseasoned. The gravy hardly has any taste… Plus point for the arrangement of the plates and the nice waitresses! Minus point for the toilet. Conclusion: there are simply amazing vegan restaurants in Frankfurt and unfortunately Tonka can't keep up. Above all, the price was 25 euros for a main course…unfortunately that was nothing.

Nice service but very bland food

Today we went to Tonka for the first time! To start with: a definite must-go! Ambience refreshed from old pub times. Very attentive, friendly and competent service! A small but (!) nice card. So delicious! This was definitely not the last time, I'll be back, no question! Kind regards, Chris.

Unfortunately, the food didn't meet my taste at all, except for the butter with the bread starter. Nevertheless, I can imagine coming again because the creations are actually very special, which is really commendable. Something that could be improved is to indicate on the menu if a dish contains alcohol.

Great menu: everything vegan - regional, seasonal and very creative; with individual recommendation. The food was super tasty and the portion sizes were perfect; Amuse gueule, sourdough bread and spreads were also included. The service was attentive and very nice :-)

I recently went to Tonka for the first time and, as a vegan, I felt like I was in seventh heaven. We were greeted very warmly and had a free choice of table. My indecision when choosing the wine and later about the main course was quickly remedied with the knowledge and charm of our server. In general he was very attentive and guided us through all the courses and the evening with humor and sympathy. The food was also super delicious! The breaded pickle as a starter was particularly interesting. We were there just after Christmas and I felt like I was eating a late Christmas meal after the dish at the family's small town restaurant was more than disappointing. The quality and creativity are of course also reflected in the price, which is absolutely justified, but excludes a weekly visit. I'll definitely come back for the next menu change. Very special recommendation from me for this restaurant!

We had the New Year’s Eve Menu which consisted of 7 courses plus wine pairing. Overall, the experience was great! The service was very attentive and super friendly, the location cozy and comfortable, the food delicious! Some of the wines were really outstanding too and you could get free refills. They were also able to accommodate gluten free dishes. I would therefore highly recommend this vegan restaurant as value for money is great as well.

We had booked a 7-course meal for four of us for New Year's Eve and unfortunately arrived about an hour late, which meant we missed the first course. Our friend, who was on time, had understandably enjoyed the first part of the menu alone. However, the service reacted inappropriately to our delay: we were neither greeted nor taken our drinks, even though the second course had already been served. The waiters communicated almost exclusively with our punctual friend and ignored us, which we found unprofessional. In the end the bill was split between three people without consultation, even though this had not been discussed. Overall the service was disappointing and inadequate.

We went to Tonka for Christmas dinner at Christmas. Fixed menu for 75 EUR. It was supposed to start at 7 p.m., the first course came at 7:50 p.m. We asked for bread and then got three half slices of some dry bread. It was advertised as our own sourdough bread, but in my opinion it was baked too tightly and lacked the sourdough note. The menu began with a greeting from the kitchen, followed by 5 courses. Nothing really convinced us, except maybe the mousse for dessert. The red cabbage soup was two spoons in a glass. In my opinion, the risotto was the weakest course. The beetroot Wellington was also not convincing, too dry and not enough parsnip puree. It should be praised that you could get a second helping. There’s still a lot of room for improvement for us. Only the service was very friendly and accommodating.

Fine vegan cuisine. Super delicious and really interesting. I tried exciting creations here that I didn't know before, and the waiters were very nice. Since my companion doesn't speak German, we were immediately brought an English menu and everything was explained in English with each course. The homemade iced teas were great. We spent four hours there and weren't bored. It is advisable to reserve. The two of us paid around 85 euros for a starter, a main course, a dessert and two drinks. There were also two greetings from the kitchen. Since everything was really right here, I think the price is reasonable and I would be happy to come back again.

Noble vegan inn, only a few dishes, everything homemade and delicious. Not always affordable. Ambiance was more suitable for Heckmeck.

Not only the food but the service was amazing. It is hard to find this kind of kindness and joy from waitress in Germany. Totally recommended

There is so much to praise: the delicious food, the refreshing drinks, the stylish ambience - and especially the friendly service. The service is extremely attentive, takes its time, explains every dish and drink with great attention to detail and ensures that every guest feels welcome and well advised. Everything is just right here – excellent all around!

Surprise dinner from my partner. Really: delicious, delicious, delicious! Nobody misses meat & co. here! Price-performance ratio is absolutely right! Service super friendly and authentic! I can absolutely recommend Tonka to anyone who appreciates delicious food, not just vegans😉. We'll definitely be back 🫶🏼

Was there on a business trip with colleagues, everything was vegan, everything was very interesting. The smoked carrot really caught my attention and I'm someone who doesn't really like carrots and for the first time I really thought about cooking more with carrots myself. Thanks for that. The potato roulade was also very tasty, the umami taste of the mushrooms was great and I really have to say that I have never eaten vegan so well. Thank you very much for the great evening, keep it up! :)

I had a lovely evening at Tonka. Small but nice menu that changes often. The dishes all tasted great and there was also great, relaxed service. I'd love to come back!!!

Very good and imaginative vegan food with some pickled or fermented ingredients. Gladly again!

Was there yesterday with some Colleges and we were greeted by Felix with the loveliest smile. Justin and him shared with us all the information about our DELICIOUS Food. Would 100% recommend!

I went here alone. It was packed but i was able to sit at the bar. Excellent flavors here and there and an ultra friendly staff member.

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to!! Place and food were great, I loved it so much that I had to come back the next evening. I tried the entire menu and everything was really lovely, for sure I’ll come back if I find myself in Frankfurt again!

We've been wanting to try Tonka for a long time, now we've finally done it and, what can I say... it was a restaurant visit that easily made it onto my best list! Well, the menu is very small, but changes at fairly short intervals, so you can still eat there more often without repeating it. We chose the braised fennel with rosemary tomato sauce, crispy potatoes and sourdough crackers and the oven-baked red cabbage with panko breading, beetroot salad and fermented tofu cream, and after expert wine advice, a Kabinett Riesling and a Pinot Noir rosè. After we initially delighted our throats with an amuse gueule and then ate the homemade bread with whipped and smoked margarine, both main courses impressed us both visually and subsequently also in terms of taste! The wines kept their promise of rounding off or counter-accents and during the meal we always felt that the service accompanied us discreetly, but never intrusively. The two desserts, the tonkamousse with white chocolate and blackberry-lavender ice cream as well as the matcha tiramisu with mirabelle plums and organic matcha and the subsequent espresso, also kept the standard high. Yes, you "wait" for a while for the food, but if you want it to be quick, there are other, less convincing alternatives. "Good things take time" - we had time. We really can't understand the negative reviews and will be coming back to eat at Tonka soon. An all-round successful evening with very friendly and attentive service at a reasonable price.

Had a brilliant time and enjoyed some amazing food. Felix was a great server with amazing recommendations. The menu is very unique and allowed us to try things we’d never had before!

Dedicated, super nice, young team. Creative food and drinks (the homemade “Shrub” is recommended). It's also great that sustainability is also taken into account when it comes to napkins and towels - they are all made of fabric.

A really great vegan restaurant. The service is incredibly friendly. Restaurant is easy to reach on foot from Leipziger. It's lovely to sit outside in the summer. The dishes are very special, very tasty and something completely different for the taste buds. Selection limited but completely sufficient. Price-performance ratio is also right! We will definitely come back :)

I was there with a friend as we both eat a predominantly vegan/vegetarian diet. We were served on the terrace by two very nice gentlemen who were also able to make great recommendations about the wine list. The food was super tasty and well balanced. The only thing that was a bit too sweet for us was the dessert, but that's definitely a matter of taste. Many thanks to the team, Tonka is definitely worth a visit!

The food is very tasty and the service is very nice. Unfortunately, the portion sizes are very small and that's why there are only 2 stars: 4 small pieces of bread were served with a spread before the meal. 6 euros were taken for this. We thought it was a greeting from the kitchen. This should have been communicated, other restaurants offer something like this for free. For the main course for 24 euros, only 4 aubergine wedges were served, which is less than half an aubergine. There were also 4 tablespoons of potato salad and some cream. Sorry, but for 40 euros per person with a drink I expect more on the plate.

Super delicious food! Very special, great atmosphere, very professional and courteous service! We were completely satisfied and would like to come back :)

I can only say one thing: GREAT!!! Mega tasty, great atmosphere, great team!!!

Soooo delicious food. Gladly again. A taste experience in a chilled atmosphere.

First class, without exception!

Very loving and tasteful Vegetarian

Thank you for the wonderful evening. Loved the food, especially the appetizers and dessert. I will definitely be coming back soon.

We were guests at Tonka last night. Service was really very nice. The atmosphere was very lively, we sat outside in the evening and were lucky with the weather (if the weather was good I would also sit outside, you sit in front of the restaurant, but it captures the vibe of Bockenheim very well, especially in summer). The food was delicious, you received a greeting from the kitchen and some sourdough bread with misomargarine beforehand. My main course was really good, but I have one criticism, which is complaining on a high level and certainly also a matter of taste: I actually didn't really like the way the dish was prepared or rather I found it a bit bland in relation to the obvious effort put into it Greetings from the kitchen and the sourdough bread. Ultimately, this is absolutely solid vegan cuisine that is worth recommending!

Delicious vegan restaurant that also appeals to non-vegans. Extremely friendly, competent service! Nice rustic atmosphere! Gladly again!

Completely vegan menu. There are only a few dishes, but they are fresh and exceptional. I don't think it's a bad thing that there are only a few dishes. Food was very tasty. But the portions could be a little larger. Price is relatively high. The wine recommendation was very good and went perfectly. The map changes every few months. That invites you to come back.

We had the sourdough bread as a starter, then the bak pao and the koji pointed cabbage. For dessert there was tonkamousse and strawberry-basil sorbet. The entire meal was not only beautifully presented, but also tasted excellent. As a greeting from the kitchen, there was even a small appetizer at the beginning. The menu changes regularly due to the regional and seasonal products. We will come back in any case!

Very cozy restaurant with a visually and tastefully very appealing vegan food selection. I'd love to come again!

A big risk for a committed meat eater... it was very tasty AND I was full. I will go there again too.

The five stars are more than deserved. The food was amazing, the service was even better and you felt very comfortable - you can sit outside on the sidewalk and inside you can see the charm of the previous pub. The owner and his service staff are very hard-working, can tell you a lot about the dishes and the concept and the chef knows his craft. The prices are absolutely justified for local organic cuisine (completely vegan) that is unusual (but not so unusual that you no longer know what you are eating). We'll definitely be back - thank you for the lovely evening.

It was our first time in this great vegan restaurant and we were completely thrilled! It starts with the friendly and personal welcome explain the menu/dishes and the attentive service. There is never a lack of anything. The service takes place with a nonchalance that rarely occurs and that is exactly what creates this pleasant atmosphere. You just feel comfortable and welcome. The dishes on offer were also completely convincing due to their sophistication. They were truly a taste experience. The perfect wine to accompany it rounded off the excursion into the vegan cuisine, which is well presented here. We are already looking forward to the next visit!

Please never stop cooking the way you do!

I recently dined at Tonka and had an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and warm. The people there are extremely friendly and attentive. The menu was a delightful surprise, brimming with innovative dishes that catered to all taste buds. What truly stood out was the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability. Everything from the locally sourced ingredients to the eco-friendly packaging showed their dedication to the planet. The culinary creativity and eco-conscious ethos make it a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delectable offerings :)

I like the variety of the food. Ever changing menu, great food! Never disappointed. One of my favourite places in Frankfurt!

We ate at Tonka several times and, as always, we were very impressed. The service is incredibly hard-working, friendly and attentive, the food is very tasty, special and well thought out. The portion sizes are well chosen :)

Very tasty food and regional/seasonal. It's definitely something special

Here you will find outstanding, innovative vegan cuisine with excellent service!! We also learned a lot about fermentation, which is used here. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

We were here for the first time on Whit Monday! I rarely give my sixth star for perfect, but everything was really perfect here! There is no more to be said! Top food, top wine and a top team! We will be back!

Special, sophisticated vegan cuisine! Motivated and attentive very nice staff! Totally recommended!

A wonderful and super tasty vegan restaurant! Thank you for the loving and attentive service. It was a dream to eat here and be pampered.

Very nice, cozy restaurant, super attentive service and of course incredibly delicious (vegan) food! We are already looking forward to our next visit when the new menu comes out.

Really nice and a great surprise to have found this restaurant. Conceptually it is wonderfully refreshingly unconventional, simply contemporary and beautiful. No loud music, just people who want to eat out with their friends and families and enjoy great food. We were blown away. The team was more than friendly and gave us great advice, thank you again! And when it comes to the most important thing, the food, one can only say that it is absolutely delicious, calm but not unrefined. I would always like to have some of most dishes at home. Thank you for this really nice evening you gave us!

We had a wonderful evening at Tonka. All courses, from starter to dessert, tasted very special and were designed and prepared with a lot of love and passion. Our highlight besides the food was the courteous and pleasant service staff. We felt very comfortable here and will definitely come back. A new place-to-be in Bockenheim!

Very good tasting food. Absolutely recommended from the main course to the dessert. The service is also very attentive and friendly. We'd love to come back.

Absolutely top service. We were given great advice regarding wines and selection of dishes. Unfortunately, we ended up having to wait a very long time (approx. 1.5 hours) for dessert and the bill, but our waiter recognized this and was able to explain the reasons to us quite transparently and comprehensibly. It would perhaps have been nice to have an espresso or something similar on the house (but of course not a must!) About the food: the sourdough bread is by far the best thing I've ever tried. Absolute recommendation. The mushroom farce was also great. The main courses and the dessert were unfortunately a bit disappointing and, at least for me, did not represent an appropriate price-performance ratio. There is definitely still room for improvement. Unfortunately, I was missing “that certain something” from the main courses for the higher price. If you implement this accordingly, we would be happy to come back again.

Very nice and friendly service that really goes out of its way. The food was okay, but for us it was missing that special twist that gives the dishes a certain sophistication. But everything in itself was delicious. The atmosphere is a bit sparse and it was quite cold. In general, I think minimalist furnishings are nice and the fact that you can still recognize the flair of the former student bar is also nice, but personally I would probably add a little more homeliness and warmth. Especially since many guests were obviously freezing. We had a lovely evening, but personally I think there is still room for improvement, especially when you compare it to other purely vegan restaurants in Frankfurt.

We visited Tonka for the first time a few months ago. The service was extremely courteous, friendly and competent. The rustic ambience gives the place a very special but extremely cozy charm. The food was simply fantastic! Although the prices are slightly higher, you get fresh, seasonal dishes. Tonka is also highly recommended for non-vegans, especially if you are looking for something special in Frankfurt.

Incredibly delicious! The roulade was so delicious.. I could have indulged in the sauce..! The prices are high but every bite is worth it. We will be back definitely!

Very creative ideas for good, vegetarian and regional food!

If the way to your heart is through your stomach... then you'll definitely find yourself in Tonka! From the reception, to the wine recommendation, the attentive and genuinely friendly service, the greeting from the kitchen to the main course and dessert: nothing was left to be desired! Thank you for the reminder that great beauty often lies in the small delicacies. We'll definitely come back and we'll be happy to come back!

It's nice that there is finally a vegan restaurant with a down-to-earth, instead of the same hip ambience in Frankfurt. All the dishes on the menu sound good, I would have liked to order them all. Our starters and main courses also tasted great. The main courses in particular are far too small for a price of €23 each, so we were still hungry after the main course despite having one starter per person. One dish was BBQ carrots, two fried carrots on carrot cream with a few dabs of mayonnaise. Yes, everything has become more expensive etc., but that's cheeky. The restaurant operator must find other savings options in order to be able to offer an appropriate price-performance ratio. For the bread ordered because of the small main courses, €6 was charged for two slices (!). The otherwise very nice and attentive waiter with a beard also cut the bread throughout the evening without using the cloth that was provided for us to touch, as the colleague on the substitute did. Since the waiters are handling the guests' returned dishes, this is not entirely a hygienic way of working, as one would expect from a restaurant in this price category. The same waiter also continued to intrusively upsell the orders by trying to sell each table a side dish (that cannot be found on the menu) to accompany the main course. At the next table, for example, a side salad to go with a main course salad? Of course no one is forced, but he was persistent enough to convince the hesitant lady. Conclusion: The ambience, taste and friendliness of the waiters are great. Due to the miserable price-performance ratio, we will only visit and recommend the restaurant if something happens here.

Fine vegan variations of down-to-earth dishes in a casual atmosphere.

Innovative vegan cuisine - an absolute asset to Frankfurt. A celebration every time!

The food is very tasty and the service is very friendly. We'll be back soon.

Tolle regionale vegane Küche! Die Speisen sind kreativ, aber nicht zu abgehoben, schmecken lecker und machen satt. Der Service ist sehr freundlich. Die Getränkeauswahl beinhaltet neben klassischen Weinen auch Naturweine und interessante nicht-alkoholische Alternativen. Ich empfehle, zu reservieren.

The flavours simply didn't deliver. It's a nice enough place, and definitely promising. Nice people, great small surprises like roasted almonds presented creatively in a cup. We appreciate what they were trying to accomplish with their dishes but I've seen well-executed vegan menus, and this wasn't it. We kicked off with the mushroom/onion appetizer. Balanced creamy starters, and they pair nicely with the bread. Yet the miso butter that came with the bread -as a separate side- was the first to miss a central note. Not enough in there to stand out. So much so that we salted it by hand. And the broccoli side dish lacked flavour, came cold, and could've been left out. Next up, the mains. The sushi is fried. I'm okay with subverting expectations but only if you're confident that the surprise will be a positive one. It wasn't. The other main -the walnut balls- were too much and too little at the same time. They'd packed a world of lentils -way too much- and nuts into three (massive, to give credit where it's due) balls but were dry and flavourless. The base, a pumpkin spread, was the antagonist of the night. At its worst a pumpkin spread base should taste at least like pumpkin soup, and at its best, well... that's what makes a great chef. They'd show us what it can be. But surely not this. Too oddly-flavoured, almost chemical-tasting. We didn't try the dessert after the surprisingly heavy dishes. Overall, the service was wonderful, the people and the atmosphere are nice, they're striving for something cool, but as they stand, these dishes still belong in the kitchen for some serious fine-tuning before they can surprise and entertain us the way they intend. Till then, Tonka unfortunately doesn't stand out amongst a recent crowd of wonderfully-creative vegan restaurants in the city.

Visited here for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a good to have a nice vegan restaurant in my neighborhood. Staff was also very friendly and knew the menu well. But it would be nice to have more options to choose on the menu. There was only few choices that I can choose. Also serving was really slow.

Kleine, aber sich stetig verändernde Karte mit veganen Gerichten und Zutaten aus der Region. Nettes Konzept, welches sehr gut umgesetzt wurde. Leckere und schmackhafte Gerichte, eine passende Getränkeliste und ein Preis-Leistungsverhältnis welches ebenfalls vollkommen in Ordnung geht.

Gute bodenständige vegane Küche. Das Sauerteigbrot war ein wenig trocken und sehr fest, es hätte fluffiger sein dürfen. Die Misomargarine war gut. Der kalt servierte Brokkoli war lecker, jedoch recht schlicht gehalten in Präsentation. Das Beet Wellington war sehr gut. Voller Geschmackstiefe und ein sehr gutes Pendant zum ursprünglichen Beef Wellington. Der dazu gereichte Salat hatte ein sehr leckeres Dressing. Der Service war sehr freundlich und kompetent. Man hat versucht das Ambiente so gut wie möglich aufzuwerten. Da steckt wirklich viel Liebe drin. Mit einem besseren Lichtkonzept könnte man den Innenraum sicher ein wenig angenehmer gestalten. Alles in allem eine leckere Küche, die durch ein wenig Finesse in Präsentation und Detail bei den Speisen an Wertigkeit gewinnen könnte. Die Preisgestaltung und Portionsgrößen sind sehr fair.

Sehr leckeres und kreatives Essen, fantastischer und aufmerksamer Service und eine gemütliche Atmosphäre. Danke für den schönen Abend!

Sehr gutes und ausgefallenes Essen aus regionalen und Bio-Zutaten, vieles schmeckte auch den Kindern. Im Übrigen gibt es 2 Hochstühle und immer ein extra Kindergericht. Wir kommen wieder!

Ein absolutes Highlight, auch für Nicht-Veganer*innen! Sehr professionelles, kompetentes und freundliches Personal, auf alle unsere Wünsche und Fragen wurde eingegangen. Zur Vorspeise gab es eine Käseplatte mit hausgemachten Crackern (der beste vegane Käse, den ich je gegessen habe) und Muhamarra mit selbstgebackenem Brot. Als Hauptgang dann eine Rote-Beete-Suppe und Kartoffel-Rouladen und zum krönenden Abschluss Quitten Tiramisu und das Tonka Mousse. Geschmacklich war jeder Gang und jedes Essen für sich ein Highlight. Das Timing beim Servieren der Gänge war perfekt abgestimmt, genau so, wie es bei drei Gängen sein muss. In jeder Hinsicht ein Genuss, wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder!

Wir waren gestern dort essen und es war der Hammer, das Essen war toll, die Bedienung super nett und zuvorkommend.

Gemütliches Restaurant, sehr freundliche Bedienung und sehr besondere, vegane, regionale Küche (wir ernähren uns im sonst nicht vegan). Besonders die Käseplatte und den Grünkohl können wir empfehlen 🤤
