Verde Restaurant & Eismanufaktur in Karlsruhe

We were there for the first time on a Wednesday shortly after 6 p.m. We had already seen the most delicious food pictures from a friend. The restaurant was still empty. The lady who greeted us seemed a bit “annoyed” and unfortunately this impression continued throughout the evening (loud handling of dishes and bottles, loud moaning and eye rolling…). When a few tables were occupied she opened the door, which made it quite cool 😅 but we were almost finished 💪🫣 Now about the food: The menu showed that the chef had to be very creative! So we chose a soup, a starter, a different main course and an ice cream for dessert. The food was delicious!!! Absolutely and creatively! However, the service should mention if an ingredient is missing and it is replaced with an equivalent one - simply for the guest's information: - The gnocchi said “on a bed of ruccola” - there was a salad mix instead… - The roasted peanuts were missing from the Snickers ice cream - the rest was still great! All in all: we will definitely come back and recommend it!!!

Whatever the season, Verde offers a selection of savory and sweet dishes. Even if you eat gluten-free, you will find what you are looking for. And the ice cream is amazing!

Update 2024: Unfortunately, I was informed via Google that the operator wanted to use a lawyer to get me to take back the review. It's a shame that criticism is responded to at such a level. I would have liked to try the restaurant again this year. Original review from 2022: We (vegan & vegetarian) were there in mid-December 2021. As a starter we had the baked figs with Veta. The appearance was really outstanding, but the taste was unfortunately very bland and they arrived at our table already cold. The main courses also lacked that certain extra - almost 20 euros for a tempeh steak with pea puree (which looked like too much mushy peas) is simply too much. The burger was okay, but the taste could have been better. For dessert there was ice cream - which unfortunately also had very little taste. The waitress was very nice, but neither checked the 2G+ certificate nor did she think it was necessary to put on a mask when serving. Therefore unfortunately only one star. But there would definitely be more potential.

Highly recommended even if you're not vegan! The burger really tastes like a “real one”, I can highly recommend it! The fried potatoes are very tasty 😋

Allows customers to be transferred to other tables during the meal. Update: I wasn't told at first that the table was reserved. After I heard messages in Turkish on my cell phone at a normal volume, the employee who probably also responded to the reservation came and said the table was reserved. I assume this is racism. PS: No guest or customer wants to change seats during the meal. If you then describe my style as arrogant, then feel free to do so. Get well soon ;)

We went for our anniversary and it was the best vegan food, if not perhaps the best restaurant experience I've ever had. And that's no exaggeration! Dessert was a cake called “Milchschnitte” and was just as delicious. Service was very friendly. I wasn't feeling well that day but the food made me forget about it for a while. Gladly again!

Pure vegan for vegans and non vegans who would want to have a nice meal. Food is absolutely wonderful and service super friendly.

Delicious, creative food and reasonable portions. I really enjoy going there

Vegan ice cream and cake were very tasty. It would be nice if the menu was bigger. But the fried potatoes and bread menu were also quite tasty.

Super leckeres Veganes Essen und ganz liebe Bedienung. Wenn wir von der Schweiz nach Karlsruhe kommen ist das Verde Resraurant ein Muss.

I have to leave the review after brunch on December 26th. and further visits. First I would like to talk about brunch. €39 is basically okay. However, not for what was offered. We paid less, but got significantly more. At least one drink should be included. The price-performance ratio was not good at all. Until half past 11 there were hardly any dishes on display that you could pick up. Around 10 there was "sausage", but no bread (!?!?!?). There was pie until half past eleven, but the sauce was missing. The soup tasted mostly like sauce thickener. I can't understand that with potato soup. When I cook privately, I usually add 1-2 potatoes to a soup. They bind because of their strength. In addition, the pie was really dry. As we left, the remaining food was put down. Guys, that doesn't work. If you offer brunch from 9:30 a.m. and almost €40 p.p. only for food, then everything MUST be ready when the guests arrive. Because they pay to take EVERYTHING and not just a small selection. And that generally fits into the picture. The service is slow, unfriendly and stroppy. Once I waited 45 minutes for the drinks, which then came with the food. What bothers me now and is the reason for a no show is the boss who EVERY TIME complains about having to pay money to pay by card and whether I have it in cash. We live in 2023. If card payment bothers you, then don't offer it. But stop complaining to customers who want to pay by card. Seems out of place. If it bothers you, then raise the prices by a few percentage points and stop complaining. The food is really great. The atmosphere too. Something from Bali or something.

Perfect restaurant! Found it by accident and we ate there 3 times in one day lol. Got some ice cream, came back for dinner and got some cake for dessert... it was all amazing! Perfect restaurant! We accidentally found it on a day trip and ate there 3 times lol. Every meal was awesome!

The Snickers sundae was outstanding. The waffle was a little too firm for our taste, but that could be better... but also good. Bread is available upon request for the cheese pralines. You forget to write the fact that this request costs an extra charge on the card. But after the food is served there is no staff to ask about the bread... The service is so bad... the waiter prefers to chat about work ethic instead of clearing plates and not enough napkins. There were 4-5 tables occupied in the beautiful weather on Sunday afternoon, in the otherwise empty restaurant. It took well over 15 minutes from the time you expressed your desire to pay to the time you cashed in... The "boss" behaves condescendingly when ordering, in my opinion... and is not capable of criticism at all, which you can also see here in the reviews.. And no, this is not fake and not a lie. For almost €35 you can expect something. That was the last visit to Verde for us. The reaction is also a false statement... I was asked how I found our visit to Verde. And my factual answer with criticism of the service and the boss who doesn't have her facial expressions under control was neither aggressive nor anti-social. But the boss's reaction was definitely anti-social. They just can't handle criticism. Good luck with continuing to scare away customers who are willing to pay. You are in good hands in Verde.

The tempeh mushroom pan was the best thing I've eaten in a long time, both visually and culinary-wise - and I'm not a vegan/vegetarian! However, we were a bit heckled when ordering cake-to-go, even though the waitress probably wasn't particularly stressed.

I didn't find it all that comfortable inside, a bit dark and the decor was different, but the food was delicious and the service was nice.

I simply recommend it. A visit to this vegan restaurant was a real delight for the senses. The dishes were not only visually appealing, but also an experience in terms of taste. Kudos to the talented kitchen team for showing that plant-based eating is anything but boring.

The ice cream is really very good, especially there are a lot of varieties that you can't get anywhere else in Karlsruhe (or at all). The rest of the menu doesn't appeal to me personally, but that's okay, you can't suit everyone's taste. We always like to come back just for ice cream. However, I find complaining to customers about card payment fees a bit unprofessional and not up-to-date, especially for a restaurant. The fact that card payments have to be negotiated first has never happened to me in a long time.

I loved it! The restaurant is really nice and the mood relaxed. The food is made with love and very good. Recommended!

Very nicely decorated restaurant with delicious food. And the cake was also very tasty.

Unfriendly staff and not exactly the best food. And unfortunately it was very disappointing a few times, as there are much better restaurants for vegans in Karlsruhe. Also quite overpriced.

Wir kommen immer gerne auf ein leckeres veganes Spaghettieis oder leckere Torte vorbei. Auch die warmen Gerichte waren bisher immer Top! Der alkoholfreie Aperol und die hausgemachten Limos sind auch super. Der Service war bei uns auch immer sehr freundlich und von den Wartezeiten her normal. Wer nicht vorne an der Straße sitzen will, kann auch nach hinten auf die Terrasse laufen – super gemütlich.

So far everything I've eaten there has been so delicious. Especially hummus and ice cream

Very good food, nice down-to-earth atmosphere & nice staff. Gladly again!

Incredibly delicious vegan food prepared with love. Absolute recommendation! ❤️

Absolute recommendation, everything fits here! 😍 Selection, creativity, taste, location interior, service…💯

The ambience and interior are cute and pretty. There are flowers everywhere and creates nature friendly cafe look. I personally did not like the cake and the latte much. Typical German style cake does not suit my taste. Latte was my mis-choice. The herbal latte was too grassy for me but they have other good latte drinks.

Was there on opening day back in 2021 and wasn't convinced at the time. I'm very happy to see that Verde has finally worked out! Extremely satisfied, dear waiters, great food, dessert was also really tasty and no long wait. Deserved 5 stars!

Very very tasty and great atmosphere. I had a mushroom tempe pan. A dream! The ice cream is also very tasty and so is the cake. We'd love to come back!

I'm sitting here right now and as a Karlsruher I'm very surprised. I like to come here more often. Very interesting menu.

Very nice restaurant for vegan and vegetarian people (including everyone else, as it tastes very good ;-)). The restaurant is well located in Karlsruhe's city center and offers a wide range of dishes. The creative and appealing dishes and drinks all taste very good and are highly recommended. There are small deductions in the service because we unfortunately received the wrong food during one visit. We didn't want to let them go back because we didn't want to waste food, but they could have taken a little more care of us (small discount or something similar). Otherwise the service was always very friendly and good.

I always recommend reserving a table if there are several people. We had pre-ordered the food. We only had to order the drinks 😋 The atmosphere was comfortably furnished. But some chairs were wobbling and repairing them would be an option. There was no swapping, there were no more chairs 😬 The staff was on point, around 7 p.m. it got busier and we had to make our presence known more often. Apparently they ran out of money for the toilets. (Optics) didn't match the rest. There was also no toilet paper. I told them but they didn't respond. Guys, take tissues with you. So overall I was satisfied, my food was gluten free. Well signposted on the menu. The baked apple is a dream 😋 Caramel ice cream in combination with salt... a must! Only the cream can be forgotten, it tastes like nothing and has no consistency.

Top! 👍🏼 I was particularly impressed by the service :)

An absolute insider tip for meat-free dishes, even “non-vegans” can enjoy it very well here. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating. Whenever I have visitors, I always make a reservation. It's a highlight for me and my friends. Everyone is very full and happy afterwards. The Christmas dinner was extremely tasty and really fine. I look forward to further special offers. The entire menu is delicious and fresh, an experience for the palate. Price-performance ratio is absolutely appropriate. A parking space can be found a bit difficult but now we enjoy walking there.

It was another lovely evening at Verde! Great winter special menu, the holiday roast was awesome 😉 always a pleasure :-)

Very tasty food and super friendly staff. We recommend.

Sehr lecker, sehr freundlich, rundum sehr empfehlenswert

Die veganen Käsespätzle waren wirklich sehr lecker und zu einem Mittagspreis von knapp 11€ auch preislich im Rahmen. Außerdem sitzt man hier auch sehr gemütlich.

Fantastic plant based oasis The service and ambiente are great and the food was very delicious, and the cakes definitely make a sweet tooth happy

The best vegan resting in town. Go for it

Sehr gutes veganes Essen und Kaffee. Die Preise sind zumindest auf der Mittagskarte auch noch relativ günstig. Ich hätte für die Nudeln mit kleiner Saftschorle 10,90€ bezahlt.

Went with friends from abroad, was a blast!

Absolute top Adresse für veganes essen! Nicht nur Geschmacklich ein reinstes Vergnügen, da gibt’s noch richtig was fürs Auge dazu. Ambiente und Service mehr als zufriedenstellend. Gerne wieder!

Ausgefallenes veganes Essen für besondere Anlässe. Das Menü hat uns umgehauen! Ich bin froh, dass hier endlich mal was anderes geboten wird, wie in anderen Vegan-Restaurants. Dort habe ich den Eindruck werden meist nur Burger reserviert.

Würde gerne 6 von 5 Sternen geben. Das Essen war super.

Das vegane Essen ist ein Traum, das Personal superlieb und man fühlt sich sehr wohl.

Vom dem aufmerksamen Service bis zum leckeren Essen war alles Top.

Sehr leckeres Essen und ein wirklich höflicher und ausgezeichneter Kellner.

Das Essen war unheimlich lecker und die Preise für den Mittagstisch sind top. Wir wurden sehr herzlich bedient und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch :)

Einfach das beste vegane Restaurant in Karlsruhe! Immer top gewesen bisher. Die Gerichte sind wirklich überragend. Überzeugen jeden Kritiker von veganem Essen 👌. Und Preis technisch auch voll in Ordnung. Geht da hin !!!

Wir waren zum ersten Mal im VERDE (mittags, mit 6 Personen. Der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, aber langsam. Wir haben sehr lange auf unser Essen (5x Vorspeise + 6x Hauptspeise) gewartet. Das Essen ist komplett vegan, sehr kreativ und lecker. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt. Der Raum ist sehr hallig, dadurch hört man sehr viele Nebengeräusche. Alle Türen standen offen, dadurch hat es ziemlich gezogen.

Absolut der Knaller. So lecker, auch für das Auge. Absoluter veganer Kuchenhimmel!

Tolles Restaurant, Essen gut, schöner kleiner Außenbereich hinten. Etwas langsamer Service, falls man es eilig hat vielleicht nicht das richtige. Kuchen top!

Das vegane Essen hat mich begeistert. Viele glutenfreie Optionen. Tolle Auswahl. Sowohl Vorspeise, Hauptgang und das selbstgemachte glutenfreie und vegane Eis zum Nachtisch waren köstlich! Die Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und stets da, wenn man einen Wunsch hatte. Absolute Empfehlung und ich komme auf alle Fälle wieder!

Sehr leckeres Essen, absolut zu empfehlen!

Das einzig Negative: ich wohne zu weit. Der Service war super freundlich und schnell. (Sogar für meinen Hund wurde direkt ein Wassernapf hingestellt.) Das Essen war so unglaublich gut!!! Bekannte Gerichte wurden kreativ und mit viel Liebe zum Detail neu interpretiert und das Ergebnis war zum dahinschmelzen. Hört sich übertrieben an, ist es aber nicht. Ich hoffe, ich komme ganz bald in den Genuss, weitere Gerichte vom Verde Restaurant probieren zu können. Egal wie satt man ist, ein Eis sollte man sich auf jeden Fall noch holen! Selbstgemacht, vegan und ebenfalls ein Traum. Danke für das tolle Erlebnis!

Super leckeres veganes Essen und selbstgemachtes veganes Eis 🍨 Service super freundlich und alles ging sehr schnell. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Wenn wir im badischen unterwegs sind, essen wir hier immer. Obwohl ich, im Gegensatz zu meiner Frau, kein Veganer bin, schmeckte bisher immer alles sehr gut. Kommen bald wieder

Endlich typische Milcheissorten in Vegan und nicht immer nur Sorbet. Ein Traum! Es war so lecker alles.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und für jede/n war was dabei. Ich hatte Jacobs-Medaillons & Venus Reis - ich war sehr zufrieden. Aber auch das Eis war richtig richtig gut. Wenn du gut essen gehen möchtest, würde ich dir den Besuch hier empfehlen.

Essen sowie Nachtische und Kuchen super lecker. Faire Getränke! Service normal, Ambiente voll in Ordnung. (Salzsteinteelichter auf den Tischen müssen Geschmackssache sein, meiner ist es nicht 😁)

Ich war mit einer Freundin zum Mittagessen im Verde und kann es wärmstens empfehlen. Die Karte ist vielfältig und kreativ. Es gibt viele glutenfreie Gerichte. Geschmacklich war alles top und der Service war auch super. Wir kommen gerne wieder :)

Einfach sensationell Ambiente, Angebot, Geschmack, Service. Weltklasse Restaurant in Karlsruhe. Absolute Empfehlung

Wir waren heute im veganen Verde Restaurant Karlsruhe. Die Auswahl ist groß und es dürfte für jeden etwas dabei sein. Leider war mein Essen vermutlich nur schnell aufgewärmt (? ) , mir war es auf jeden Fall viel zu kalt. Geschmacklich in Ordnung, aber wärmer hätte es sicher besser geschmeckt. Der Nachtisch, Bananansplitt, kam vermutlich vorbereitet direkt aus der Kühlung. Was beim Eis so sein soll, aber nicht bei der Banana und der Schokosoße. Letztere war quasi so kühl dass sie komplett hart war. Darunter hat der gut schmeckende Nachtisch leider auch etwas gelitten. Fazit : Der Weg ist gut und richtig, aber bitte frisch zubereiten und in der richtigen Temperatur servieren. Dafür warte ich auch gerne etwas länger . Aber ich vermute, das ist der zu geringen Personalplanung geschuldet. Deswegen leider nur 3 Sterne.

Ich wollte eigentlich gerne Eis essen im Verde, leider bin ich nicht mal zum Bestellen gekommen. Ich wurde gefragt, was ich möchte, als ich meinte: Ich würde gerne Eis haben, war die Antwort der Bedienung:" Das ist gerade ganz schlecht, das geht nicht." Ich wurde stehen gelassen und weg war sie. Wenn es für den Service Minuspunkte geben würde, würde ich sagen -10 Sterne. Den einen Stern gibt es dennoch, weil zumindest in der Servicewüste das Eis lecker ist. Verhalten absolut unterirdisch und Service Fehlanzeige!
