Vietnamese Vegan Tapas with Heart
1990 Vegan Living is the kind of place that makes you rethink what vegan food can be. The concept of Vietnamese-inspired tapas served in little bowls right in the middle of the table encourages sharing and conversation, creating a warm, family-style atmosphere that's rare in Berlin's restaurant scene. You'll find crunchy salads, creative soy dishes, and unexpected flavor combinations that prove plant-based doesn't mean boring.
The ambiance feels like stepping into a Vietnamese family home, with warm lighting and a cozy setup that puts you at ease from the moment you walk in. While the menu might seem small at first glance, the variety of tapas-style dishes means you can try multiple flavors without committing to a full meal. The activated filtered water they use for cooking is a nice touch that actually makes a difference in the taste of the food.
It's not perfectâservice can be slow during peak hours, and the restaurant doesn't accept card payments (cash only), which is a bit inconvenient in 2024. But the quality of the food and the genuine warmth of the experience more than make up for these minor drawbacks. If you're looking for a place that treats vegan dining as an art form rather than a compromise, this is it.

1990 Vegan Living est l'endroit qui vous fera repenser ce que la cuisine végétarienne peut devenir. Le concept de tapas vietnamiennes servies dans de petits bols au milieu de la table encourage le partage et la conversation, créant une ambiance chaleureuse et familiale rare dans la scÚne gastronomique berlinoise. Vous y trouverez des salades croquantes, des plats de soja créatifs et des associations de saveurs inattendues qui prouvent que végétarien ne veut pas dire ennuyeux.
L'ambiance rappelle celle d'une maison familiale vietnamienne, avec un Ă©clairage chaleureux et un amĂ©nagement cosy qui vous mettent Ă l'aise dĂšs votre arrivĂ©e. MĂȘme si la carte semble petite au premier abord, la variĂ©tĂ© de plats tapas permet de goĂ»ter plusieurs saveurs sans s'engager dans un repas complet. L'eau activĂ©e et filtrĂ©e qu'ils utilisent pour la cuisine est une petite touche qui fait rĂ©ellement la diffĂ©rence sur le goĂ»t.
Ce n'est pas parfaitâle service peut ĂȘtre lent aux heures de pointe, et le restaurant n'accepte pas les cartes (espĂšces uniquement), ce qui est un peu gĂȘnant en 2024. Mais la qualitĂ© de la nourriture et la chaleur authentique de l'expĂ©rience compensent largement ces petits inconvĂ©nients. Si vous cherchez un endroit qui considĂšre la cuisine vĂ©gĂ©tarienne comme un art plutĂŽt qu'un compromis, c'est ici.
