Very tasty food! - Edit
My husband and I loved the food at Gratitude so much, we came back a few days later with two meat-eating friends, who also enjoyed it very much (!). The food is tasty and nicely presented. We will definitely go back there when we visit Munich again.

maybe the best vegan restaurant in Munich - Edit
Gratitude was an incredible experience. It fills up quickly, so it's worth making a reservation, but you must stipulate you want to sit outside if you do. The dishes were incredibly creative, and were pretty average for Munich as far as prices. We got the large tapas platter which was the 5 available tapas and bread, and it was enough for two of us. We don't often get dessert, but we were celebrating my new job and and got cashew cheesecake, which was literally to die for. Overall, this was a fantastic experience! They also take credit card as well, which is hard to find sometimes in Germany

Food was OK staff was not really nice - Edit
We went there in the late afternoon when it was basically empty.
Read moreOn the menu the dishes are not really explained and by the time we were there the waiters were not really nice and helpful. All together in everything they were grumpy (menu, payment...) which is OK because everyone can have a bad day but it didn't really made us staying there longer as necessary or trying the dessert.
The food was good and the lemonade (cucumber, ginger) was really awesome, but the atmosphere of the whole place was not really good.
Maybe we just were there at the wrong time but for me this place was missing a lil bit the love and soul.
Maybe other times it's different but since there are many other places with much nicer atmosphere and similar or even better food I don't think I'll come back soon.
Cons: grumpy staff

Incredible, creative dishes - Edit
This was probably the best place I visited on a recent trip to Munich. The food was so flavoursome, and the dishes were really creative. I had the grilled avocado dish, which also included incredible fried tempeh, and it combined so many beautiful things. For dessert they offer a daily cashew cheesecake. When we visited, it was chocolate, and it was really rich and decadent. The food was absolutely perfect.
Read moreWe had a booking and arrived just after the 6pm opening time to find loads of people just arriving too, so it's probably worth reserving a table if you've got your heart set on visiting. There was no English menu, but the staff spoke English and were really helpful.
Pros: Incredible menu, Excellent desserts, Lovely atmosphere

amazing - Edit
This is my top vegan restaurant!
Read moreI went here twice and the food and drinks are always perfect. Just make sure you reserve because this restaurant is always packed with people.
There is a lunch offer which is cheaper and as delicious as the dinner which can get up to 30€ per person. But it is worth it!

My favorite - Edit
When I firt went to gratitude the month they opend I was very disapointed. The food was very expensive and the starter and my main dish were exatly the same. When I told the waiter, that she should mention this, she told me, that I'm wrong: The gravy is a bit different...
Read moreIt took about a year for me to come back and it was the best surprise I could imagine.
The menu has completely changed (from a completley raw menu to a mixture of raw and cooked dishes).
Since then I try to go to gratitude whenever I'm in Munich. The food always tastes great, is fresh and healthy.
One of the last times there I have invited my family there and although none of them is vegetarian or vegan they (15 persons) where thrilled.
If you want to have vegan dinner in munich, in my opinion this is the choice you want to make.
Pros: Fantastic food, Partly raw food, Nice stuff
Cons: None

Wowie! - Edit
I wrote a list of restaurants for our trip to Munich on a piece of paper, only did not include what kind of restaurants they were. Purely on the basis of the nameI chose Gratitude, although I thought it might be somewhat hippie-ish. Boy was it not! The patrons are hip, the food is amazing, but still not too expensive, the people are friendly.... We loved our food (grilled avocado with berry salad and zucchini pasta with mushrooms and olives) so much we decided to go eat the same thing on our backtrip too.

With thanks to Gratitude - Edit
Gratitude is probably my favourite restaurant in Munich and I have been lucky enough to dine here twice. On our first visit we ordered the beetroot soup and mushroom stroganoff, which were stunning both in flavour and presentation. Definitely the best stoganoff I have ever had. On my second visit I ordered the wantan and erdnuss (peanut) sauce, followed by zucchini pasta with cashew cream sauce. Again the flavour and presentation were faultless and the texture of the pasta and the peanut sauce were divine. Starter prices range from 5-8 euros, whilst mains range from 14-15 euros. Sadly I was too full to try the cashew cheesecake (8.5 euros). A great selection of wines and beers are also aplenty here and the staff are more than willing to help translate the menu. I would definitely recommend going here but it is advisable to reserve a table to avoid disappointment. Thanks Gratitude.

Very good food (if you manage to get a table) - Edit
Visited in June 2016.
Read moreAs previous reviews mention, it is highly recommended to make a reservation for dinner time (you can do it by phone or from their homepage).
I managed to get a table without reservation; however, I had ony 20 minutes or so to eat my plate. Since I was alone it was fine, but if you are with somebody, you'd probably want to stay a bit longer.
In my opinion, the place is not small as the description indicates. There are about 40 seats inside; and about 12 more when the terrace is working. However, it does gets crowded.
The food was interesting (menus in german, so translation from staff is required); and they had really nice and tasty combination of ingredients.
So I really enjoyed the food (I had some kind of grilled avocado).
If I understood correctly, there is also a course menu consisting of tapas, main and dessert, for about €30.
Now, because the place is so busy, and there are only two people taking care of the 50+ customers (one person in the bar making the drinks, and another responsible for waiting the tables, bringing the food, etc.), I felt that the staff was at times too busy to be able to pay attention to each table (they were still polite and nice whenever they approached you).
So perhaps they should hire one more person for these crowded hours.
In spite of that, the atmosphere was still enjoyable; and the food was so good! Definitely coming back when in Munich again!
Pros: good food, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: staff gets too busy

Super, etwas teuer, Reservierung nötig - Edit
Ein gemütliches Restaurant mitten im Münchner Univiertel. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und das Essen ist fantastisch. Große Portionen, die wie farbenfrohe Kunstwerke auf dem Teller liegen. Man sollte reservieren! Es kann sein, dass man dann nach 2 Stunden gehen muss, weil der Tisch anschließend nochmals vergeben wird, was ein bisschen schade ist. Ansonsten spitze!

Love! - Edit
I'm a big fan of this one. One night a few months ago my partner and I decided it was finally time to make a reservation at Gratitude (every other time we tried to impulsively stop by it was full). Our reserved table for dinner was tiny and crammed close enough to hear everything the people at the next table said, but that was really the only drawback. The food was all fresh, delicious, and creative - appetizers, mains, sides, and I was also a fan of the beers we tried. I agree with one of the previous reviewers who said, order anything, it all tastes great!
Read moreWe sometimes talk longingly about this meal and how we need to go back - the next time I am back in Munich I will be sitting at one of these tiny reserved tables again!
Pros: Delicious and creative vegan food, Friendly service
Cons: I wouldn't argue with cheaper prices, Small space and reservation necessary for dinner

Lovely lunch menu - Edit
We went to Gratitude for lunch on a Saturday and we loved it. We were happy we managed to get a table, as twice before (in the evening) the place was fully booked. (reservation is not necessary for lunch). The lunch menu was not very big but it was very good value for money, with a starter, a main and a drink for about 15 euro. I got hand made bread and hummus and a Cesar salad and they were both good portions and extremely tasty. My husband got a broccoli and zucchini soup and an excellent Thai curry, which was one of the best and most exotic I've had in Europe, fruity and fresh. I would definitely recommend this place and we will try to get there for dinner next time!

tasty soups and probably best raw vegan blueberry cheesecake in town - Edit
Just passing by Munich and looked for a vegan place to grab a quick bite. We were able to get a table just walking in at 2:00 pm on Ester Saturday. The place was full but we managed to get the last seats. Unfortunately the kitchen was out of rice (!) and they only had soups and a salad from the main menu. We ordered the soup, hummus/falafel with bread and cheesecake for desert. Soup was really tasty, hummus/falafel ok (had better) but the cheesecake was amazing :) washed it down with almond milk Late and were ready to continue the drive. Can honestly recommend.

Taste explosion - can't make this at home! - Edit
We were in Munich for a day only and chose this place randomly. It turned out to be an excellent choice. We got a table despite it being busy and us not having a reservation. The waiter very helpfully explained the menu. We had the grilled avocado and the persimmon pumpkin curry. I was surprised by the intensity of the flavors and how well the combinations worked.

one of my favourites - Edit
The food is very tasty, the staff is friendly, helpful and know what they are serving and the prices are very reasonable. They have a daily changing menu, we have been there loads of times and have always enjoyed everything. It is advisable to book a table in advance, especially when it is too cold for the outdoor seating and because of their opening hours. Also, they are very close to Ice Date which is the place I would recommend for a vegan dessert.

what customers think - Edit
For a restaurant that boasts such a gracious name and a superb international reputation for vegan dining, you don’t expect to receive a tirade of abuse and aggressive behavior from its senior staff. Equally, you don’t expect the head chef to express hostility, arrogance and aggressive behaviour at your table to the point he is yelling “Go back to eating your f**king microwave meals.”! My partner and I booked in advanced and were therefore dismayed to see they were unsure where to seat us and we ended up on a small, mediocre table beside the door. Not a great start but service was good until I politely questioned the intense flavor combination of my meal. I said we both found the meal so overpowering in flavour that it was bitter and not enjoyable to eat. The waitress was quick to dismiss and refute my concerns and said “This is how we like it”. She took away the uneaten dish without ever offering an alternative suggestion – something any well-established eatery would surely do as a professional courtesy. Even though I have had my fair share of appalling and disappointing vegan dishes in 25 years as a vegan, served with equally bad or unsatisfactory service, I was not prepared for what followed. The head chef came to our table and asked what was the problem. By this stage we were objecting to paying for the meal that we did not eat and I explained our reasons in a polite manner. He was quick to become aggressive and defensive, telling us that he didn’t care if we liked our meal or not and that we had to pay. The abuse continued until we felt so intimated we agreed to pay and leave. We did nothing to incite or warrant such behaviour. More surprisingly, the head chef told us unequivocally that the restaurant neither cared about customer feedback nor were they interested if customers actually enjoyed the food. We have since written to the owners seeking clarification and asking them if it is acceptable for staff to intimidate and rudely offend customers. They have not responded. Gratitude Restaurant has been the worst restaurant experience ever. It appears ego and arrogance has got the better of the staff at this place and gratitude left this restaurant long ago.

misleading name - Edit
I came first her because I love the Gratitude in Berkeley and LA, but the food is very different though. May be the German public isn't ready for the big bang, but if you are really into healthy vegan food with a focus on raw and/or glutenfree food you must be disappointed.
Read moreIf on the other hand you have never eaten any gourmet raw food or at least gluten free vegan food then you will love this place as you will not miss anything. The taste of all dishes I tried so far is good. Some really surprise me, lots of different flavors in one dish, great. But the snacks get a bit boring after a while because almost all snacks are tempura style, only the sauces are different and if you know how to cook vegan sauces you notice that even the sauces are very similar. luckily they add enough herbs and grains to get a distinct flavor to each dish.
the mains are overpriced, would not recommend them at all. you'll be better of with the snacks and pad thai or even the starters.
Something I really, really missed on the menu was a real salad.. I mean something real green and crunchy.
If you try to avoid gluten this is not the place. they might offer one dish but who would come here just for one dish when all the others look and taste so good? they do not even offer gluten free bread.
Desserts are a bit too sweet but creative and tasteful. they offer a raw vegan slice of cake, too.
Staff is friendly and some are even really friendly. Nice atmosphere!
This place is definitely for the taste oriented guest, if you are a into a healthy vegan you can come for indulgence but due to all the (crispy and good tasting) tempura and cashew sauce loaden dishes you are rather on the heavy side. even for desert you cannot expect frehs fruits.
Do not compare to Berkeley and L.A. and you will be fine. I will always come back but cannot rate it more than 3 due to the poor raw food and gluten free options and lack of more ingredients listed below each dish... something I love about the Cafes Gratitude in California and most US vegan restaurants.
Pros: vegan, atmosphere, friendly staff
Cons: too much tempura dishes, no gluten free alternatives, no smoothies

Went there for the lunch and was very pleased with food, drinks, and service. They were super friendly and accommodating. And we were even treated to some little free samples of their green smoothie. A MUST if you're in Munich! If you go for dinner, I'd recommend to get a reservation, they seem to be very busy. We were there around 2:30 for lunch and wasn't too busy.

AMAZING! - Edit
This little gem is located near the University metro stop in Munich. We grabbed a salad and a smoothie for take-out to eat in the park. What a treat! The salad was amazing and so fresh and was plenty for us to share one for lunch because it was very hearty (I can't remember what it was called, but it had pomegranate seeds, spinach, and tempeh in it). The smoothie was also great and was made with cashews. YUM! It is a little bit pricey, but worth it! Would definitely go back and absolutely recommend it to anyone traveling in Munich!
