Having quickly googled 'vegetarian restaurants Berlin', I soon realised that the hardest thing would be choosing where to go. So. Much. Choice.
One evening, Chewy, his parents and I set out to Viasko in Kreuzberg.
How good are the covers of the menus? Every menu seems to have a different cover. (And they have menus in both English and German by the way, just incase you were getting worried).
Just as a side note, everything at Viasko is fully vegan. And things that are gluten free are clearly marked on the menu too. Nice!
So here goes. I decided on the gyros plate. It was soy gyros, turkish bread with herb 'butter', cabbage salad, tzatziki, hommus and olives. The plate was enormous, and I couldn't even finish it all there was so much food! It was beyond delicious though, and I'm not normally a huge fan of the soy 'meats', but this was incredible.
Chewy's dad went for the seitan medallions in mushroom sauce, with beetroot, cellery and violet potatoes. I am told this was also very tasty!
Chewy had the homemade cheese spätzle with smoked tofu and fried onion, alongside baby spinach and radish salad. I had some of the spätzle and they were also scrumptious! I was only allowed one mouthful though, no more.
Last but not least, Chewy's mum chose the sesame risotto with asparagus, and aubergine-walnut rolls. Chewy managed to nab one of the aubergine-walnut rolls and raved about how tasty it was. Lucky him. Apparently the risotto itself was also delightful.
Unfortunately we didn't manage to sit outside, even though it was a lovely summer evening, because we arrived a little bit too late and the place was full. We got this cute little seat in the corner though, which was hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the restaurant.
Viasko was absolutely great! The waitress was knowledgeable and very friendly, and the food was incredible. If you find yourself hungry in Berlin, I highly recommend grabbing a friend or 2 and taking them here! You can find Viasko at Erkelenzdamm 49 by the way.
