Delicious vegan food & great service

Awesome Service! Tasty Food! Great Location!

Service:
Our service was perfect. We were unsure what to order and how much and his response was: „I’d recommend platter and I will tell you if you’re ordering too much, we don’t want to waste food here“

How great is that?! And he literally knew our limits! Funny, helpful and thoughtful!

Food:
I could have chosen The Vegan Burger, A Soup, the avocado sandwich or a few other vegan options but decided to go with our waiters recommendations: We (three people) took the vegan Platter with tapas and for my main meal the vegan aubergine casserole (mildly spicy and delicious). Finished off with the delicious vegan chocolate mousse!

Atmosphere & interior design:

It is all in all a lovely place to go to and spend your time. The moment I walked in the door I noticed the difference; usually you have to look for the waiter and ask about your reservation; at ginkgos you walk in and there are plates on the tables with the persons names that reserved. Therefor you can immediately find your spot and it gives a personal touch! Musik was relaxing and the restaurant very spacious!

Delicious chocolate mousse

We came here for drinks and I saw the (clearly labeled) vegan chocolate mousse on the menu and had to get it. It was wonderfully creamy - a little expensive (8 euros) but the portion size was pretty generous.

Safe choice

Gingko is a good choice whenever you are with meat/dairy/… eaters as the menu offers something for everyone. Vegan regular options include tapas, a burger, a chickpea curry, and an eggplant-lentil-casserole. Also, the weekly menu always has at least one vegan choice, and one dessert is also plant-based, same holds true for some of their cakes. Especially in spring/summer, it is really nice to sit outside. Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Compared to other venues in Frankfurt, prices are more than fair! Today, I had the eggplant-lentil-casserole. It came with a side salad and was really tasty (and a huge portion!).

Alright food in nice setting

They had around 4-5 vegan options (burger, curry, salad, stuffed zucchini) which sounded alright. I got the chickpea curry which was tasty but nothing too special and we also got the vegan burger which seemed but but a little simple. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere though and the vegetarian options seemed a lot better (e.g. spinach lasagna)

Pros: Some vegan options , Nice place

Cons: Fairly average food (at least vegan)

Vegane Optionen!

Karte mit kleiner Auswahl (wechselnd), welche aber völlig ausreichend ist. Sehr schönes einfach gehaltenes Ambiente. Veganes Thai Curry mit Tofu war empfehlenswert!

Reservierung für Geburtstagsfeier nicht möglich

Einfach nur unterirdisch. Ich habe mehrfach versucht einen Tisch für eine Familienfeier ( 9 Personen) zu reservieren und jedesmal war das nicht möglich.... unabhängig vom Wochentag. Sehr schade :((

Hi, das Ginkgo bietet keine Reservierungen an! Das ist schon seit jeher so... wenn Dich das stört, sag es ihnen bitte. Aber es ist nicht fair wegen eines Services, den Du gerne haben würdest, 1 Stern zu vergeben. Bitte überdenke die Bewertung mal oder lösche sie ganz. LG Daniel

Much more than just vegan-friendly

They always have a vegan option on the seasonal menu, plus a big salad and a vegan mezze plate, plus the best vegan burger ever (extremely savory/umami without being too „meaty“). To me, it’s important if the vegan options can stand up to the rest of the menu in terms of quality and creativity (as at Gingko’s) or if it’s just what some omni cook thinks of as typical vegan food or (which is a little bit better) what is a staple dish that is vegan anyway (some curry, a salad, penne arrabiata). My omni friends often order the vegan option just because they think it’s the best offer on this day. You have to see that it’s not „*only* two or three vegan options“ as their menu is very small. There is one review in German saying that this place has deserved five stars in our hearts - I couldn’t put it better.

Good food!

Central location and nice seating area. The food is good, but only 2 vegan options. The portion was big enough and the price was reasonable. Nothing impressive, hence 3 stars.

Pros: Friendly staff.

Fresh food, cozy atmosphere

They still offered breakfast when we went there at 12.30pm, we tried the avo sandwhich and one of their vegan breakfast. Both delicious and fresh. Good for vegans, vegetarians and non vegan all together. Unfortunately they run out of vegan pancakes and everything was a bit pricey.

Cons: Extra pay for soy and oat milk

Best omni place in Frankfurt

This places offers amazing vegan options. A homemade burger, curry and falafel/hummus platters, as well as other changing options. Their burger is the best I had in Frankfurt until now.

Pros: Great tasting food , Moderate prices

Great food

This place is one of our favorite non-vegan places in Frankfurt! They have a really great cook, who can cooks amazing Indian curry! The burgers are great too and portions are pretty big.

They have a weekly menu, but the curry would be my absolute recommendation! Everything is labeled vegan btw.

Tolle Atmosphäre und leckere vegane Optionen

Ich war schon mehrfach hier und habe viele verschiedene vegane Gerichte probiert. Der Burger ist meiner Meinung nach der beste vegane, den ich je gegessen habe. Auch das Kichererbsen-Curry und die vegane Vorspeisenplatte sind super! Die wechselnden veganen Gerichte haben mich auch noch nie enttäuscht!

Pros: super Atmosphäre, bester Veganer Burger , nette Bedienungen

Cons: nicht rein vegan/ vegetarisch

Very vegan friendly

Located in the busy part of Bergerstrasse, Ginkgo is the most vegan friendly and delicious restaurant of the area. The service is efficient and friendly.

One of my favorites in Frankfurt

They have many vegan labeled dishes on the menu. The good thing is, you can go to Ginkgo even with your non-veg friends and everybody will find something they like.

Pros: Great vegan choices

Cons: The website is not always up to date

Large vegan selection, great value

Ginkgo is a very nice place to go for vegans - when I visited their menu had a vegan soup on it, an antipasti platter, 3 different vegan mains and a dessert. The servings were quite large and everything tasted delicious. Also the green tea I had with my dinner was exceptionally good; from large cut leaves and not just from a cheap tea bag (it is unfortunately quite common to get not-so-nice tea in many restaurants in Germany)

The prices were absolutely okay: 11 Euro for a large main of a great quality is not very expensive for the area.

Pros: Great vegan selection, delicious food

5 Sterne der Herzen.

Mehr als nur vegan-freundlich...
Im Ginkgo läuft es einfach für vegan lebende Menschen, hier ist man nicht die wenigen, zwangsweise eingeführten Gerichte der Karte, sondern bekommt den Eindruck, dass es fast schon anders herum läuft und man Omnivoren noch toleriert ;-)

Aufgrund der tollen Auswahl auf der Karte (auch bei Aktionen außerhalb der festen Karte), der guten, veganen Kuchenauswahl, der zwei veganen Milchsorten für den hervorragenden Kaffee würde ich diesem Ort als bisher einzigem "Omni"-Ort in Frankfurt 5 Sterne geben.
Für "veggie-freundliche" Plätze sind vier Sterne das Maximum bei HappyCow. Einen habt ihr bei perönlich gut!

Die veganen Gerichte sind mit Liebe gemacht und halten in Qualität und Geschmack jedem Vergleich stand.


Macht weiter so, es ist nur noch ein kleiner Schritt in die richtige Richtung!

Perfect

I've visited "Ginkgo" many times and I've never been disappointed.
The menu changes, but there are always many vegan dishes, sometimes it's even hard to decide...
The food is appealingly garnished, plenty and tasty.

Usually it's a lively atmosphere, especially on weekend mornings. Possibly you will wait for your breakfast up to an hour, but the nice staff will inform you about the waiting time and meanwhile, you can enjoy your coffee, fresh ginger mint tea or fresh orange juice or whatever as well as the atmosphere of the "Berger Strasse".

They offer various vegan breakfasts (e.g. 2 bread rolls, avocado, chickpea-spread, beetroot-spread, homemade jam, soy-joghurt with fresh fruit).
In the afternoon, you can choose between several wonderful cakes, often still warm from the oven.

I especially love sitting outside in spring or summer : )

Although it's a non-vegetarian restaurant, Ginkgo is a great place for vegans.
It offers more vegan meals than some vegetarian places & vegan dishes are clearly labelled (the staff knows what's vegan too).

Pros: Tasty food, rich in variety, vegan dishes clearly labelled, friendly staff

Cons: sometimes long waiting
