Which German city has the most vegan restaurants and bars?

• Floranutris has chosen the “most vegan city in Germany”.

• Berlin is the city with the most diverse vegan gastronomy.

• But: In Hamburg there are most vegan restaurants per 100,000 inhabitants.

It is no longer a secret that vegan nutrition * is trendy.

A study from last year showed that 1.13 million people in Germany forego animal products in their everyday lives.

For comparison: in 2015 the number of people living vegan was 850,000.

The selection of plant-based alternatives is also growing on the shelves of supermarkets and restaurant menus.

Floranutris, a provider of vegan snacks and dietary supplements, has taken a close look at the

. Although it is the smallest of the 20 largest cities in Germany with around 316,000 citizens, the student paradise has 7.6 vegan restaurants, cafés and bakeries per 100,000 inhabitants up its sleeve. Berlin ranks fourth with almost 7.2 dining options with menus without animal products per 100,000 inhabitants. Hannover follows behind. Here vegans will find 6.6 vegan restaurants per 100,000 citizens. 

The trend to eat healthily and therefore also vegan is growing all the time.

And even among consumers who are not exclusively vegan, meat consumption has decreased significantly and interest in plant-based alternatives has increased.

It is all the more important that this demand is not only met in metropolises.

In small towns and villages too, residents should find vegetarian and vegan options on the menus.

At Floranutris we want to be a role model and make it easier with our products to switch to a plant-based and balanced diet in everyday life.

Completely without factory farming and animal killing.
