Great lunch spots
Maybe you’re tired of the canteen but still want a quick lunch that doesn’t break the bank? These four places will leave you feeling nicely full – even if you just order a sandwich or carrot soup.
Saftlade
The carrot soup at Saftlade has always been organic and vegan, simply because it tastes better that way. The juice bar’s owner, David Kaldeck, believes in sustainability and fairly produced products. But that doesn’t mean he avoids meat altogether.

Roots
A chef and a mechanical engineer have worked together to cook up a formula for healthy eating. The result is roots a popular vegan Mecca near the main station. Every day, Hermann Dill and Frédéric Brunner produce fresh food free from animal products. They deliberately avoid labelling themselves as vegan.

Punto Italiano
