Best Spanish vegan in Berlin - Edit
Oh my god, speechless. The cashew "foie gras" is out of this world. Also the Spanish omelette is a must try. Service could be a bit friendlier... But I will swallow my pride and go back, and then swallow the croquetas.

Cozy, punk, charming - Edit
This place is just legit. The owner is warm and the food is great - a real tapas menu in the heart of Neukölln. Great wine list, jaw dropping garlic aioli, spicy salty perfect olives - it's lovely.
Read morePros: Spicy olives, Patatas bravas, Vinho verde
Cons: Milanesa (too big and too tough), Hard to find the menu online

Very rude owner - Edit
The host who was present was very rude from the get go and seemed very upset, perhaps they weren't having a good day. Right before we left the host put on music on an absurd volume and disappeared behind the counter before we could thank her for her time.

Service is unfortunately not great... One has the feeling the staff is doing a favour for serving you.

Many different tasty plates available to share with friends 💙 - Edit
Went here with a couple of friends and we shared an obscene amount of small plates, everything was quite tasty and I especially loved the patatas bravas. They also had Shirley temples on the menu which I haven’t had in years and was very good! I think the strict time limit for seating means you don’t get the super relaxed vibe of sharing tapas for some hours, especially since getting the food can take quite a while when it’s busy. But I feel visiting here is worth it because there is a LOT of choice, everything is vegan, and tasty!

delicous food, prices were normal/expensive/reservation needed - Edit
The tapas were really good, I recommend the patatas! If you want to sit inside (or even outside): make a reservation! We were lucky to still get a seat outside but only because we arrived early in the evening! The prices are normal for a completely vegan/ hip bar/restaurant but still on the expensive side nonetheless.
Read morePortion size varied and some portions were too small for the price! Look at the pictures to get an idea what to order!
Pros: good food, service was kind/quick, nice ambience
Cons: a little expensive , reservation needed

Underwhelming - Edit
Highly underwhelming.
Read moreAnd to be fair, I will mention that the patatas bravas were good. For everything else, the following applies: good photos for Instagram are more important than taste.
The concept of the 2-hour time slots doesn't work if you're not served 3/4 hours before time is up, but you're thrown out VERY rude- and punctually. Thank god, there are plenty of vegan alternatives in Neukölln! Never again!

Delicious place - Edit
Everything was perfectly cooked and the ambiance is extraordinary. We had 4 tapas for 2 persons. Patatas bravas (so good and no idea how theymake the sauce so creamy!), geraücherter mandelricotta (perfect texture and the homade bred was extraordinary), verbrante aubergine (so melting), and a tomatoes salad. The place is beautifull and original, the service was good.
Read moreIts so hard to have a reservation on the phone, its easier to walk in to do it.
Cons: No reservation system, very hard to have a table.

100% Tasty Tapas - Edit
Alaska Bar is the best vegan restaurant we visited in Germany and it’s easy to understand why it was packed out! We enjoyed a range of tapas: patatas bravas, lox, feta with winter vegetables, croquettes and vegan foie gras. Every dish we sampled was a delicious taste sensation. Most were 100% prepared in their own kitchen. Great mocktail menu too and we loved the gingerinha. Be sure to reserve a table to avoid disappointment.
Read morePros: Delicious flavours, A majority of dishes unique and made from scratch., Fun kitschy setting
Cons: Reservations required

Delicious food, cocktails, atmosphere - Edit
Had a great time at Alaska. Slightly eccentric decor inside peppered with vegan messaging (and plenty of animal pics). Seating spaces are cosy so be prepared to sit pretty close to the neighbour behind you. This plus the Europop/disco music and excellent drinks list, as well as the popularity of the bar wit regulars, creates a great atmosphere. There are some outdoor seats where I waited for a space inside (the weather has just changed enough for it to be a bit too cold outside).
Read moreIt is a little difficult to pick the right number of options for a solo diner as you want to try most things but they're all more of a 'sharing' size so beware.
I had the best croquette I've ever had (cauliflower with coconut milk and curry powder) and the patatas bravas was also excellent. The chorizo sandwich was delicious but pretty heavy and I'd made the mistake of over ordering.
The food is good value if ordering in a group.
Pros: Incredible food, Great atmosphere with warm and friendly staff, Great wine and cocktail list
Cons: Tricky to get a seat inside!

It was the First alternative bar we visited and it was very cool. Interesting music and many things to discover on the walls.

It took some time until we've been asked what we would like to order, but that was fine for us in this case

About as authentic vegan tapas as you'll find - Edit
The only place in Berlin where you'll find authentic vegan Spanish tapas. Great atmosphere, mainly because it's rather small and very popular, so it's almost always pretty packed inside. Making reservations is a good idea.

Berlin-Bar - Edit
If you fancy an alternative Berlin-bar-feeling Alaska bar could be something for you. They offer many cocktails and interesting vegan tapas like foie gras.
Read moreUnfortunately we were too stuffed from dinner to try them!
Ambience is fun - a very small place stuffed with all kinds of partly cheesy and also animal rights decoration.
Staff wasn’t too friendly - Berlin ;-)
All in all alright for a drink and snack.

Tasty tapas on the fatty side - Edit
A nice selection of taps, everything was fresh and tasty but overall very fatty and heavy. Would have loved to have some fresh and „lighter“ options. Overall a cool place with a great vibe and friendly staff.

Hi! Pipelu.
Read moreThanks so much for your review, we are glad that you like our place. In terms of our "fatty menu" as i can see u asked for foie grass and bravas, probable the fattiest in the menu, we do have other fresh options to choose. Gazpacho, watermelon with feta and pickled onion, caponata with rice paper cracker , our home
made almond ricotta and olives are something u can try next time maybe.
have a nice day

Birthday - Edit
I went for my 40th birthday to this restaurant, calling a good 10 days in advance to make a reservation, when I called I asked if their menu had either Sparkling Wine or Prosecco and was told no, specifying that we would eat and drink in the restaurant anyway, I asked if I could bring two bottles of prosecco because it is customary for birthdays to celebrate with these drinks, I was told yes.
Read moreOn May 21 exactly Sunday lunch, we go there and it was the only occupied table with 9 people, with tables reserved for us with tablecloths with happy birthday written on them.
So far so good, as soon as I get the bottles of prosecco the waiter calls the owner who in a totally unprofessional way told me, no no here we can't have drinks from outside.
Since there were 9 of us, I avoided leaving, because I don't make a fool of myself with my friends.
The owner had my review deleted on Google, saying I am a liar because all the people working with her could not have said that since they have been working there for years and said I wanted to save money with my drinks brought from outside.
In all this in the place there was our table occupied and two other tables with two people,we paid as much as 150 euros if not more and considering the behavior they had not only lost a customer but as many as 9.
In addition,the owner who cares about external controls,did not bother to be seen drinking the leftovers in the customers' glasses.
Pros: Nice food
Cons: Customer Service

Madre mia madre mia.
Read moreYou and your boyfriend are a couple of bullies who do not understand what a no means and what running a small bussiness means.
Im so tired of both of you writting again and again bad reviews about my restaurant just because i didnt let yoi drink your own bottlesnof proseco since i dont let that happend.
Get a restauran, pay all the things this restaurant needs to be open and then let me know how nice is having people try to bring their own drinks (which by the way is something quite cheap to do).
And to finish with that ( its been a month) as i told u i do not sell meat and i dont expect peoplw to bring meat to my restaurant.
By the way i ask all the people who answer the phone to pick up reservations and nobody told u that u can bring Proseco to my restaurant.
And the fact that you think becaise you spend 150 euros for 9 people give you some sort of privilege to do whatever you want..... says a lot about u.
EstefaniaMedinaMuñoz
oh and what do you mean about the owner drinking the leftovers in the customers glasses?what is that?
Read moreElisaBarbacci
You keep calling me a liar, but do you realize how unprofessional you are!
Read moreFirst of all, my husband did not make any comments either here or on Google, so before you spout rubbish make sure of what you are saying.
Most likely you have behaved badly with some other client, because to those who can't accept that they are wrong this happens.
ElisaBarbacci
No one said that having spent 150 euros I have benefits, you were wrong if not you your employee and a professional manager in addition to apologizing to the customer makes up for the mistake, not that he keeps saying that the customer wants to save money for two bottles of prosecco.
Read moreHonestly you are making a bad impression.
ElisaBarbacci
Of course your employees will never say yes to you, given how you behave with customers I don't dare imagine how you behave with your employees.
Read moreSurely they will be afraid of being fired.
EstefaniaMedinaMuñoz
Try to vring your own proseco bottles to another rwstaurant and see what they are going to tell u.
Read moreAnd yes you are a liar because NOBODY told you you can do whatever you want and drink whatever you want. Please do a favor to your self and stop being so cheap. You can not have drinks from outside in MY RESTAURANT because i put the rules. Period. not you. And you should apologise after the way you treated the stuff when u were at the restaurant. It was embarrassing
EstefaniaMedinaMuñoz
its been a month since i told you so face to face and u seemed to understand me but then after a month and about 5 reviews over the internet you are trying to make me apologise to you for something i have the right to do and its not let you drink your own drinks in a restaurant who sell drinks.... i also do not allow eat a doner kebab and everybody seemed to understand.
Read moreElisaBarbacci
You are an owner with no respect for customers.
Read moreYou have lost 9 customers and you will lose as many, for a vegan restaurant you really have no sensitivity.
Do yourself a favour, admit you are wrong in life because you won't get very far behaving like this.
ElisaBarbacci
We treated the waiter the only one who was there besides you that day more than well, so instead of making up more lies avoid making a fool of yourself.
Read moreIt's your word against the word of 9 people who were there.
ElisaBarbacci
I did not leave the restaurant on the same day because I had brought nine friends with me and certainly not because of your behaviour.
Read moreYou had my review deleted on Google so as not to make your restaurant go down in value, you know very well that you were wrong but instead of apologising you continue to behave in a way that is certainly not professional.

Delicious, and interesting menu - Edit
Our first dinner out on our visit to Berlin. we’ve always dreamt of going to a vegan tapas restaurant and alaska more than delivered.
Read morewe had most beautiful tasting patatas bravas ever, the most garlicky gnocchi you can imagine but in a good way, vegan foie gras (didn’t know what to expect but loved it) we also had a couple of croquettes which i was obsessed with especially the mushroom one, and a burnt aubergine dish with a lovely creamy sauce. so much stuff we’ve never tried before and really enjoyed every bite!
