Max Pett, Munich Germany

Location: Pettenkoferstraße 8, 80336 Munich, Germany

For breakfast our last day on vacation we decided to try Max Pett. I didn't see anything much about breakfast on their website, but some of the reviews I read mentioned it. We opted to try the Bavarian breakfast - sausages and a pretzel with mustard. This was good, but not the best I have had. The sausages were good, they came in a casing you had to take off. The mustard was sweet and not too bad (I am not a big mustard fan so I didn't eat much of it). The pretzel however was...well it was really hard and not as good as the ones we got elsewhere. I was disappointed in the pretzel as well..I love soft pretzels.



We also tried the American breakfast - scrambled tofu, crepes, and corn flakes and bread. The crepes were tasty especially with the berry jam that came with the plate. The tofu scramble had tomato and ham and sausage and was really good, very nice flavors, but there was hardly any of it. The corn flakes are corn flakes and were fine. Overall I liked this option much better than the first, but I wish you would get more food, especially since it is more expensive.

Overall - I enjoyed Max Pett, but I think they are probably better for dinner rather than breakfast.

Sfizy Veg, Berlin Germany

Location: Treptower Straße 95, 12059 Berlin, Germany


While looking for vegan places to try in Berlin I stumbled across Sfizy Veg in Neukölln. Their menu is kind of crazy - they have a ton of pizza options, calzones, pasta, bruschette, etc. Seriously they have way too many options it is hard to choose what to get. We decided to try out the three cheese pizza first. Something simple to get a taste of their normal pizzas This was really tasty. Raymond even liked it and he usually doesn't like a lot of vegan cheese. The dough is delicious and it is a lot of pizza.



We also tried the Chicken Masala - spinach, chickpeas, potatoes, tempeh chicken, broccoli and spices with some dough puffs sauce and cheese. This was a mess to try and eat, even with a fork and knife. It was however delicious! I liked it better than the three cheese one even though it was a little odd. I mean I never would have put Indian food on my pizza, but now I think I might try it next time I make a pizza at home. It was incredibly good. A little spicy, but really tasty. So so good.



We were way too full from our pizza to get dessert there, so we got a piece of peanut butter chocolate cake to take with us and eat later. I was very excited for this, especially after the delicious dinner we had but unfortunately it was not very good. The cake was kind of dry and the frosting didn't have much flavor and was a little like greasy. Like it coated your mouth and it just wasn't very good.

Overall - Definitely stop by Sfizy Veg if you are in Berlin. Really I think if you only go one place in Berlin this should be the place. It is tiny inside, and can take forever to get the food (if you come in right after everyone just ordered - they must not have a large kitchen) but it is well worth the wait. I wish we would have known about this place sooner - we are definitely going to be going back to try out more of their crazy pizzas. As Raymond said it is real pizza. It is also a lot of food.

Yam Vegan Deli, Munich Germany

Location: Augustenstraße 5, 80333 Munich, Germany


Our first day in Munich we woke up and headed down to Yam Vegan Deli for some food. It is a tiny place and everything was kept in a display case so we picked out a few things to try. First was veggie bread with dip - a sweet potato bread with beet dip and greens. I was expecting this to be really good, but it was just alright. The bread was dry and not as flavorful as I would have expected.



Next up was the tofu sandwich - hummus, cucumber, greens, tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, on a nut bread. The bread had such a strong flavor it overpowered everything else and that was all you could taste. Without the bread it would have been a very good sandwich as the fillings were super good by themselves, but the bread was way too strong.



Finally we tried the chocolate banana torte. This was really good. A nice balance of chocolate and banana and was creamy and delicious.

Overall - Everything seemed like it was going to be amazing, but unfortunately it either didn't have much flavor or was way too strong of a flavor. The torte was delicious and if we were in the area we might stop by for it again, but otherwise I would probably skip it.

Royal Kababhaus, Munich Germany

Location: Arnulfstraße 5, 80335 Munich, Germany


Royal Kababhaus is a doner place that is very proud of the fact that it has vegan doner. There are signs all over about it and it seems to be quite popular. The guy running the place was so happy and friendly, even though he spoke so quickly we had a hard time understanding him. They have a seitan doner cooking just like the meat counterparts. They have a few different sauces to choose from that are vegan, hummus, beet, ginger, and a few others that I don't remember. The doner came with sauce, seitan, lettuce, cabbage, onion served in bread. I was a little skeptical about trying this out as it is at the train station and well I don't know. Doner places are everywhere and we have Voner in Berlin which has a similar doner. This one however was so tasty! I liked it way better than Voner or any other doner we have had. The seitan was really good and the sauces delicious.

Overall - Definitely check out Royal Kababhaus if you are in Munich. The people are very friendly and the doner is delicious.

Cafe Sabroson, Salzburg Austria

Location: Linzer Gasse 27, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


Our last day in Salzburg we needed someplace to eat dinner at. A lot of places were closed for winter break and so we decided to try out Cafe Sabroson for some pasta. We just got the spaghetti with a garlic, hot pepper, olive oil seasoning. It was good, but just like I make at home, or really mine might be better and not spicy at all. It was just alright, but there wasn't much else to choose from so it worked.

Overall - Cafe Sabroson was not the best. The pasta was alright, but I can make it myself at home for less.

Spicy Spices, Salzburg Austria

Location: Wolf-Dietrich-Straße 1, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


Whole walking around Salzburg we came across Spicy Spices and decided to check it out. We ordered a plate of the day with soup and a veggie patty plate. The soup was lentil with carrots and a slight Indian spiced, though it didn't have a lot of flavor. It was alright, not bad but not amazing either.



The plate of the day was a tofu curry (on the left) which was just alright. Kind of watery and not a lot of flavor. It was served with lentils which were seasoned much better and were quite tasty and a little spicy, tons of rice, and a potato dish which was a lot like scalloped potatoes - delicious and slightly sweet.



The veggie patties were also served with the tofu curry, lentils and potatoes. The patties themselves were delicious - lots of veggies (carrots, peas, potatoes) and nicely spiced.

Overall - We would stop by again next time we are in Salzburg. Some of the dishes were just okay, but some were really tasty so...it is not a must go place, but it was good.

My Indigo, Salzburg Austria

Location: Rudolfskai 8, 5020 Salzburg, Austria


After walking around all day we were quite hungry when we stopped by My Indigo for some dinner. I was excited to try the food since their website states how fresh and healthy it is. Everything is pre-made and just put in a bowl when you order. We tried the tofu and seitan curry. This was...not good. It just tasted like mushroom gravy, but not good mushroom gravy. The seitan was spongy and I didn't like it. Not good. Also there is a ton of rice in the bowl and barely any curry, so you end up eating a bowl of rice with a little bit of flavoring.



We also tried the sweet potato and bamboo curry. This one was much better than the first, but still not great. It was sweeter and had more flavor, but again was almost all rice. Also disappointing.

Overall - Skip My Indigo if you are in Salzburg. I wouldn't go back again as the food was just not good.
