Trash-Chic in Köln

Simply cult! You'll smell like you've been standing at the deep fryer yourself, but you know that beforehand and can prepare yourself! Taxi plate, mushroom schnitzel, you name it... so delicious.

Best vegan gyro in the world Taxi Plate highly recommended if you're hungry

Wohlfühlkneipe :} Und das Essen ist auch super!

Vegan paradise - 😁 it doesn't get any better than here

Rustic vegan cuisine; the currywurst and gyro are highly recommended. The BBQ burger is a bit less popular, and the chili cheeseburger was generously tossed.

Great food, great people! I highly recommend this restaurant. 😊

We had a fantastic evening at Trash-Chic! The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff were super friendly, and the vegan options leave nothing to be desired. See you next time! 🥘🍺

A really cozy place with super delicious vegan gyros. Everyone was in a good mood, too!

Charming shop, great ambiance, friendly staff, greasy food. Since so many people rave about the gyros and I like gyros, I gave it a try. Unfortunately, it was rather disappointing. It was so greasy that even the good seasoning couldn't really save the dish. The service staff wasn't exactly professional either. We were there in a large group, and my dish was forgotten. I could watch the others eating while I waited. When I asked about compensation or something similar, they just said that these things happen and there was a misunderstanding. Thanks for nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️ (And yes, of course, these things can always happen. I was just really surprised by how unprofessional they handled it.) In any case, I won't be going back and unfortunately, I can't recommend the greasy gyros.

Very friendly and relaxed waiters*. Delicious food and great music. A bit limited outside, but not bad inside either. Unfortunately, it smelled a bit like food inside, but it didn't bother us much.

Very cozy restaurant, super tasty, nice people, always come back when you are in Cologne

A nice little corner pub. The staff are attentive and super friendly. The food is designed to be eaten with a few beers and is a really good vegan option in the area. Pleasant decor, 10/10.

Very tasty - really cozy - everyone super friendly - I love it <3

The chili fries were served with barely melted cheese and a sweet chili sauce. There was no hint of spiciness, jalapeño, or anything similar. Furthermore, the tables are decorated with progressive pride flags, which are outdated, as the flag from before 2021 is used, and therefore does not provide visibility for intersex people. The service was very friendly.

Nice choices on the menu. A bit too greasy for my taste, but great if you are junk food hit.

Definitely great vegan food. Taxi plate is a must!

Very tasty food, great ambience, good selection of drinks

A quaint, trashy pub with a vegan menu. Poor service, and some of the food is quite greasy and oversalted.

Despite the restaurant's rather simple decor, I will eat there again. I consider the relationship between food, service, and price to be fair. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but you should always look at the bigger picture.

The gyros and the taxi plate are definitely recommended! 😋

I rarely give negative reviews, but unfortunately I have to this time. The place didn't make a good impression on me. The decor resembles a typical local dive - for some it may have its charm, but it didn't convince me. The biggest disappointment, however, was the food. We ordered three different dishes and only one could be considered fairly correct. My döner was cold, very poor in ingredients and completely bland. My friend's Wiener schnitzel was small, hard, difficult to cut and even harder to eat. Only the gyros turned out to be bearable. We waited about 40 minutes for the meal, which is unfortunately unacceptable considering the quality. To sum up - I do not recommend this place.

Stable food, there is nothing to complain about.

Simply a great place! The atmosphere is reminiscent of a pub. It's cozy and stylish, and the food is simply amazing! Finally, something for vegans. You don't have to question anything because everything is cruelty-free and tastes absolutely delicious! The portions are generous and the prices are right. The service is friendly and welcoming. Definitely not my last visit! 👍🏻

Very tasty vegan food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was also very friendly.

The taxi plate is amazing! I've never had such good vegan gyro. And the mushroom cream schnitzel is a must-try! Super nice place.

The place is, in a very specific sense, irresistibly good.

One of those incredible bars you can only fine in former industrial sites in germany. The only fault is the draft beer was quite warm. So grab a cold bottle from the coolers and enjoy

I had the taxi plate, the currywurst was good, the sauce wasn't to my liking, but the GYROS!!! It tastes like meat, is so juicy and spicy and incredibly delicious. Also the tzatziki and fries, wow! Definitely coming more often

Super cool shop! Service was super friendly! Unfortunately it was completely understaffed when we were there, so we waited over an hour for the food. Unfortunately, the food was different than expected, the burgers had a kind of potato-tofu patty, which unfortunately didn't blow me away, and the chili cheese fries were just covered in the hot sauce from a Chinese restaurant. Otherwise a really cool shop, great atmosphere and people! Next time I'll try something different, there was still a lot to choose from.

If you're looking for good vegan cuisine nearby, you'll find it here. Doner kebabs, schnitzels and desserts are particularly recommended. We come here regularly. Absolute recommendation!

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

Excellent vegan menu. The gyros is spectacular! The portion is abundant.

Your gyro could be salted more, and the curry sauce on the currywurst really just tastes like paprika. I hate paprika and would have liked to know that you made drastic changes to a regular curry sauce. Now I know, I definitely won't order it again, but the gyro was actually delicious.

The vegan gyro plate is a dream ❤️

I was here for my last evening in Cologne. The atmosphere was very cool, and the food (I had the taxi plate) was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately, there was no moussaka or chocolate. But all in all, a great place.

Super delicious vegan food. Also dishes that are not available anywhere else as vegan. The drink prices are really fair. The walls are beautifully decorated with stickers and there is nice music playing. The staff is nice and open-minded.

Actually a great pub, nice staff, relaxed atmosphere, unfortunately you completely smell like a deep fryer afterwards.

A gem. I shouldn't write anything here, otherwise EVEN more people will go there and we won't be able to spontaneously go and feast there without a reservation. However, credit where credit is due! And if you make people so happy with incredibly good food, then everyone should know it! The team, the service, sweet! The ambience: yes.. alternative, kölsch (although I can also imagine the location in Berlin.) Masterclass vegan! Thank you !!!

I can highly recommend the taxi plate. The gyro was crazy because they somehow managed to get a consistency of meaty bite and the soft layer of fat deposits. The mouthfeel was indistinguishable at the first bite and the seasoning and roasting of the gyro pieces were also very good. What's more, the curry sauce was homemade and not spiced ketchup from a tube. This often bothers me a lot with other curry sausages. I didn't try the burgers, but they looked solid. Not high class but OK. Unfortunately you have to order fries with the burger, which is a bit unusual.

The people are really nice, the anti-Nazi concept is really great and the staff asks for pronouns and are really full of them. I can only recommend the sweet ones

The trash chic is exactly what the name suggests. The waitresses are super nice and the atmosphere is relaxed. However, you should come about 15 minutes after opening hours, as we were only in front of the closed doors. We actually came specifically for the taxi plate, which unfortunately wasn't available :// the menu was also slightly different to the one online, so we took the gyros. The portion was super huge and strongly seasoned. So you will be 100% full. For dessert there was chocolate mousse which was super powerful but heavenly. The prices are very good, it's vegan and something special.

Best bar, best vegan food, vegan gyros 11/10

The Kölsch was delicious, but I could have enjoyed it more if I hadn't had the smell of fries in my nose the whole time.

Delicious vegan food in a very nice, feel-good atmosphere!

Super delicious food, nice service! Always my pleasure

There's nothing I don't love about this store.

Trendy restaurant with exclusively vegan dishes in Kalk. Nice service, dishes more “pub-grub” and greasy. Would I come back? - I suspect so, but more as a supporting program for a concert... 😉

Great for drinking beer and eating a little something! Not so suitable for dinner, unfortunately only mediocre. Typically Vegan 2007. Otherwise, super friendly staff, politically correct attitude! Our dogs were very welcome :)

Great vibe and everything you need for a good evening. Not only is everything vegan but also delicious so there is no reason to leave this location. Staff and guests are also great.

We were there yesterday with a small group. I had the excellent cabbage roll with red cabbage according to grandma's recipe. Was super tasty. The service is super attentive and the beer was flowing! Please keep it up!

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!

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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 ;)

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

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!
