Trash-Chic in Köln

Nice left-wing pub with delicious vegan dishes!

Amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff but the Hawaiian burger had a structural breakdown from excess liquids. Also gotta love the playing card deck that has so many random cards from other card games that its just like my usual Balatro run at this point.

Amazingly delicious vegan gyros. Also recommended for non-vegans. Sünner on tap! Nice pub atmosphere

Very very friendly staff and great pub. Unfortunately I didn't try the food so I can't give any information about it.

The gyro is an absolute 10/10! Unfortunately I didn't find the chicken nuggets & the schnitzel that good, so no 5 stars for food. The kebab was again really good, as was the currywurst! The fries are also delicious 😊 The service is super friendly and open and the atmosphere is relaxed. So a visit is more than worth it!🤗

10/10 best pub, with the tastiest vegan burgers and the best gyros in Cologne. Plus everything at a super fair price and great ambience! 🚩😋

Vegan for flexitarians, not always easy. Salad and gyros were ok, the "Wiener Schnitzel" could still be improved. In general, the names should not refer to meat dishes. These are patties Tofu or peas that are only in the Optics look like meat dishes. Drinks are well stocked Otherwise cool location and openly LGBTI+ friendly. The service was super fit and aimed at all guests.

original vegan restaurant with a pub atmosphere. The food is vegan, but quite fatty and the fat no longer smelled completely fresh when we visited. Friendly service. High noise level!

We were told we would love it trash chic and we were not disappointed at all. We immediately felt at home, cool atmosphere, the people were really nice, the food was really tasty (all vegan!) - just great.

Very quaint “restaurant”. Really cool pub with super delicious vegan food. Top restaurant in Kalk and definitely worth a visit!

Punk pub with a purely vegan menu and lots of delicious dishes. The fries are a bit salty, but everything else is great! You should reserve a table!

Great, relaxed atmosphere with nice service and great vegan gyros.

We love this shop and the vegan food <3 every time we are in Cologne or the surrounding area (unfortunately far too rarely) we come here. We particularly liked the space at the counter.

Great food, awesome people and amazing place! Will definitely be back! (Also, the portions are really big!)

The best vegan gyros I have ever eaten!! Fries & sauces also super tasty

Always good. Good food, good ambience, cool people. But the cinnamon rolls have to come back!!!

Super nice service and my girlfriend and I also enjoyed the food🙏 The Mexican was nice and spicy🌶️ We'll definitely come back again

There were three of us there (1 vegan and 2 “eaters”). We were all really excited about the taste and appearance of the food! If we weren't just here on vacation, but lived nearby, we would come back at any time!

The employees are super friendly, the place is cozy, trashy, which I like very much. UNFORTUNATELY…the food was almost inedible. The fries and salad were excellent, but the gyro was completely soaked in fat, with just a heap of oil coming out of every bite. The cream sauce from the schnitzel was also really not tasty. Very, very unfortunate.

All dishes are completely vegan, which I think is really great. The vegan gyros were very tasty and the price was also completely reasonable considering the VAT increase It can be reached quickly (about 25 minutes from the main station). The bar atmosphere inside may not be for everyone, but for the food and the basic attitude alone, I'll always be happy to come back :)

Really really good! Relaxed ambience with an authentic atmosphere: mega vegan dishes on their own level, good job!

Awesome vegitarian food for a very decent price. Nice punk atmosphere (if you like that kind of thing) and very friendly and helpful staff. If you are looking for anything that is not Turkish quisine in Kalk this might be the place for you!

You come from St. Pauli to Köln-Kalk - and you feel like you're back in the neighborhood. Great shop. World class burgers. Love everything about the store.

Pub with hearty vegan food. Friendly service.

Would recommend the gyro. Otherwise a pleasant atmosphere with friendly service.

Top. Mega nice restaurant with delicious dishes. Plus excellent service.

Four of us ate here and... YES everything was good.

I wish you didn't smell so much like frying oil afterwards...

love people and delicious vegan food. highly recommended

Best vegan gyros ever! Plus a cool atmosphere and relaxed people. Absolute recommendation!

Trash belongs to lime just as lime belongs to trash. The ambience is typical of an “alternative bar”, the service is quick and without any fuss and the food is basically gourmet fast food.

Absolute favorite restaurant and the best vegan gyros in Cologne ❤️

possibly one of the best meals i’ve ever had, the service was so good, the music!!! <3 had the gyros and a mango iced tea and it was rly rly rly good!! <3

Very good vegan food in a cool environment

Small menu, but very tasty food.

For me the best pub in Kalk. Great ambience, good music and really good food. You can really spend the evening here!

Vegan “househusband/women’s” food. Yummy!

Former punk bar now a vegan restaurant with a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Particularly suitable for young adults, students, etc. Friendly team, super delicious food! The special; all meals are vegan! If you wish, some dishes can be converted into vegetarian dishes. Perfect location for a cozy dinner, the cream schnitzel and the gyro salad are particularly recommended. Price performance for the (almost exclusively vegan) dishes is unbeatable! I always like to come by, absolutely recommended; especially for everyone who eats a plant-based diet ;)

The ambience is definitely a matter of taste, but the vegan food is A1!

Just a very cool shop with very tasty vegan food, delicious drinks and very attentive and very friendly waiters.

Very nice people and good vegan food. A recommendation for anyone who likes somewhat alternative shops.

Food (wrap with vegan gyros/cheese very tasty and plentiful. Service courteous and friendly. Pleasant atmosphere to feel good!

Delicious vegan food with lovely people in an exciting environment. We had gyros and the nuggets, sooo good. Unfortunately we live 400 km south and can't just go there. Definitely a great concept and very nice people

Pleasant atmosphere and exclusively vegan dishes. Unfortunately, the prices for the food are unreasonably high.

You definitely get your protein here. Large portions and delicious food. However, the gyros (and the schnitzel) could be a little crispier.

Great restaurant. The only thing to complain about is that the portions for take-away are not as generous as when eating there. Despite this, highly recommended. :)

Very friendly and attentive staff! The food was also very tasty and everything was vegan! 😊

Super tasty vegan food and an interesting atmosphere. You should wear clothes that can be put in the wash afterwards, as you will smell very strongly of a deep fryer afterwards. Very cheap food, which is very convincing. Great value for money. We will be back! 🌱

Seriously people: you can't serve burnt briquettes in a BBQ burger. The sauce made it taste good, two hours later everything came back on top.

Alternative shop with delicious vegan food. Small Kölsch for under 2 euros! Can get loud and a bit crowded in the evenings, so it's best to make a reservation.

Good food, good beer and good atmosphere!

Ester vegan 🌱 shop with the best music. I also really liked the whiskey 🥃 menu. I'm there regularly because after dinner you can easily move on to the 🍻 part of the evening!

Great atmosphere and the food is always a new experience

A really great student bar with an outstanding price-performance ratio. Plus, surprisingly, I ate the best gyros! So if you want to drink a few beers and enjoy delicious food, this is the right place for you. If you want to go out chic and are more into gourmet food, you should avoid Trash Chic 😉.

Very attentive and friendly service, everything was great, I felt very comfortable! :-)

Awesome Drinks, awesome meals, awesome people Happy to have this place in my neighbourhood !

The food was very tasty and the service was very good

The shop is decorated in a very cool way, very rustic with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was nice and quick. The prices are good, that is to say cheap: 10-15€ for a main course with a side salad with fairly large portions. I'm conflicted about the food itself. The side dishes were good, but unfortunately the vegan alternatives weren't a big hit. The gyro wasn't really seasoned and the cream schnitzel was breaded super crispy, but didn't taste like much either. On the whole, unfortunately, it was just ok. For a purely vegan restaurant, I would have expected more in terms of vegan alternatives.

Relaxed atmosphere and mega gyros!

warm güross and cold beer very good cook great

It is only a short odyssey away from the Odysseum. You pass a terrible temple of consumerism, what feels like 30 barbers, the Cologne Kalk city park, still with the old City of Cologne logo, which in the dark looks more like a cemetery, a boarded up SPD branch, extinguished torches and broken pieces were still missing and ultimately a top modern driving school without Regret for Climate Action and high electricity prices. These contrasts and more are worth the walk! Then the question of all questions is answered: “Is this vegan or can you eat it?” You'll find out in this well-run, charming, left-wing location! So the gyros are great. I ask you to be careful with the fries. They are vegan, but still taste good. According to the companion, the schnitzel could be juicier on the inside, the gratinated chili fries could be hotter, everything else was great. The malt beer is nice and bitter with a slight sweetness. Very tasty. The spritzers are a summer dream. The music fits. 🤘 There is even a gender-appropriate tile department. I celebrate the openness and code of conduct of these restaurants. Refreshing, exemplary, woke. Thanks! Would love to come back, Your restaurant pirates

Extrem leckeres Essen, alles ist sehr frisch. Entspannte Atmosphäre. Manchmal etwas lauter, muss man sich drauf einstellen.

Essen: Mega! Vegan und echt richtig gut! Service: Alles Tip-top! Ambiente: Richtig Szene-Punkig und Trashig... Ich finde es immer wieder richtig gut. Wir kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir Mal wieder in Köln sind. Bleibt bitte so echt!

Besten vegetarischen (bzw. veganen) Gyros!! 🤤

Der Besuch im Trash-Chic war definitiv lohnenswert. Der Laden ist wirklich ein roher Diamant. Die Auswahl an veganen Speisen ist riesig. Die Qualität ist hervorragend. Geschmacklich gibt es hier gar nichts zu meckern (außer, dass auf meinem Gyros etwas zu viel Rosmarin war 😅). Die Mitarbeitenden sind sehr freundlich und das Ambiente ist wirklich einzigartig. Außerdem sollte man die Preise hervorheben. Hier herrscht wirklich ein wahnsinnig gutes Preis-/Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich komme definitiv wieder!

🥰Coole Kneipe mit veganem Essen, das überwiegend gut schmeckt. Die Getränkepreise sind top.👍 Beim Essen finde ich es von der Speise abhängig. Der Service ist meist aufmerksam, aber leider nicht jede*r. Da würde ich mir wünschen, dass die Bedienung alle Tische gleichermaßen bedient und auch bei Fragen zu den Gerichten offen und beratend zur Verfügung steht. (Wir hatten beim letzten Besuch einige Fragen und wollten uns beraten lassen. Die Servicekraft schien davon genervt und wollte nur zackig die Bestellung aufnehmen. Danach wurden wir bewusst ignoriert und zwei Tische mit befreundeten Menschen ausgiebiger und freundlicher bedient.) Ein weiterer Minuspunkt: Leider riecht man jedes Mal nach dem Besuch wie nach einer Schicht in der Pommesbude. Das ist echt immer... :(

Good holsome food friendly service at a fare price.

Cooler Laden für Generation Z. Aber Achtung die Gefahr das man danach riecht, als hätte man in der Pommesbude gearbeitet ist groß.

Im Sommer top - im Winter lieber nur To Go! War in der warmen Jahreszeit schon öfters hier und auch das Essen habe ich schon häufiger zur Abholung bestellt. Super lecker und immer freundlicher Service. Liebe diese vegane Alternative in Köln-Kalk! 💚 Großer Minuspunkt: Wir waren (im Dezember) keine Stunde im Laden - unsere Sachen stanken aber extrem nach altem Frittenfett. Trotz 24h auf dem Balkon, war der Geruch tief in meine Winterjacke gedrungen. Länger halte ich es bei Minusgraden dummerweise nicht ohne meine Jacke aus. Daher blieb vor einem Termin dann nur Febreze, damit meine Umgebung nicht denkt, sie würden in einer ranzigen Imbissbude sitzen. Würde liebend gern 5 Sterne geben, aber der Geruch hat das sonst so tolle Erlebnis deutlich nach unten gezogen.

Sehr schöne Kneipe/Restaurant, unglaublich gutes, vollständig veganes Essen und tolle Stimmung mit gutem Punk.

Cooler Schuppen, der einen an Berliner Kneipen erinnert. Hier gibt es eine große Auswahl an vegetarischen und veganen Gerichten, bei denen nicht alle merken, dass da kein Fleisch drin ist 😂 Um ein paar Bierchen zu trinken und eine günstige Mahlzeit zu sich zu nehmen, ist der Laden perfekt. TIPP: Zieht nicht eure besten Klamotten an, denn damit seid ihr nicht nur absolut overdressed, sondern riskiert auch einen starken fettigen Kneipengeruch an euren Klamotten

La comida muy bien, toda vegana y muy interesante. El único punto negativo es que tienen que mejorar la extracción de aire, la ropa huele a frito luego de estar ahí.

Leckeres veganes Essen! Gyros, Rahmschnitzel, Burger, Salate....

Ein besonderes Ambiente mit super veganem Essen. Ich gehe gern hier hin.

Super Atmosphäre. Das Serviceteam ist klasse.

Wir hätten sehr gerne dort gegessen aber anderthalb Stunden nach regulärer Öffnungszeit war alles dunkel und eine Person räumte halbherzig herum. Schade.

Sehr coole Location mit netter Bedienung. Das Essen ist ausschließlich Vegan und schmeckt super. Das Vegane Gyros hat mich echt beeindruckt und sehe echt geschmeckt! Auch das Mousse au chocolate war richtig gut.

Fun, chill bar with great service and tons of room to sit. Highly recommend the gyros

Stabilster Laden in ganz Köln. Vegan und mit dem Herz am richtigen Fleck :) 🌱❤️✨️ Das Gyros ist, wie alle hier schreiben ein Träumchen, v.a. mit Djuvec Reis. Immer wenn wir in Köln sind, ist das unser erster Ort der Wahl. Nicht nur wegen dem natürlichen super leckeren veganen Essen, sondern auch wegen der Menschen, die hier arbeiten und den Laden lebendig machen. Läden wie das Trash Chic sind Kölns Seele. Danke Euch und bis ganz bald!

Locker, freundlich, köstlich. Ich komme wieder!

Come for the vegan gyros and stay for the super friendly atmosphere!

Mega leckeres Essen das zugleich frei von Tierleid ist, korrekte Einstellung, alles geil. Perfekt, da gibt es sonst nicht viel zu sagen.

Best vegan food we've found in Germany! Staff is friendly, and the vibe is great.

Chili Cheese Fries ein absoluter Witz, übergossen mit einer süß sauren Chili Sauce die es in jedem Supermarkt gibt und mit streukäse überbacken, da nimmt man richtige Jalapenos und cheddar! Gyros gut! Service in Ordnung Ambiente....

Super Atmosphäre und die Speisen sind recht lecker. Nach Jahren Stelle ich erfreut fest, dass sich wenig geändert hat.

Nomnomnom!!! Sehr gutes Essen, Nettes Personal, mit netten Menschen, in einem feinen Ambiente. Was will man mehr😻

Coole Bar, mit super leckerem Essen :)

Das Essen war einfach aber super lecker. Wir hatten das Vegane Gyros, (was eigentlich hier 10 Punkte verdient hat), den Semmelknödel mit Rahmsauce (auch extrem gut) und (OMG!) köstliches Schokomousse. Die Bedienenden dort sind auch mega nett gewesen. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sehr lecker, cooler Vibe und entspannte Menschen. Was will man mehr. Ich esse Fleisch, aber das vegane Gyros war mega. Komme wieder.

Sympathischer Laden für jeden Geschmack was dabei. Sehr leckeres veganes Essen, immer einen Besuch wert. Zudem sehr nettes Personal.

Super entspannte und coole Atmosphäre! Das Essen ist der absolute Wahnsinn! Ich habe selten so perfekte vegane Imitation von Fleischgerichten gegessen!

Richtig cooler Laden. Die Leute sind sehr freundlich und sympathisch. Essen unglaublich lecker. Lediglich 1 Stern Abzug da nur Barzahlung möglich 😅

Super Essen, tolle Atmosphäre, netter Service

Der Gyros ist, wie angekündigt, super lecker: absolutes Highlight hier. Auch als Gyros Salat extrem lecker und wirklich eine große Portion. Etwas mehr Salatsoße wäre perfekt gewesen. Der vegane Burger war nicht so besonders, das Patty hat am wenigsten überzeugt. Die Pommes waren dafür top. Über das Ambiente kann man sich sicherlich streiten, entweder liebt man Kneipenflair oder man hasst es. Generell ist es aber super toll, dass es in dieser Gegend ein Veganes Restaurant gibt. Bin gespannt was noch kommt.

Lecker und vegan, leider sind die Gerichte teilweise mit Geschmacksverstärker. Preis/Leistung ist aber insgesamt fair, trotz des gewöhnungsbedürftigen Ambientes.

Super friendly and quick service. The food was delicious and hot when it was served. 10/10 would come back!!

10/10 for the food, prices, music, vibe, crowd, and service. It is a great place to get dinner- vegan or not the food is tasty and very generous for the price. Can only recommend.

Wohlfühlkneipe :} Und das Essen ist auch super!

Super leckeres Essen und freundliche, zuvorkommende Bedienung. Die Atmosphäre überzeugt auch, sehr cooler linker Schuppen! :)

10/10 food and establishment. Definitely come eat here for amazing vegan food!
