The story

Krawummel: Plant-Based Dining in the Heart of Münster

The location and founding

Krawummel has anchored itself between Münster’s Promenade and Marienplatz since opening in May 2013. The kitchen focuses entirely on plant-based cuisine, turning fresh vegetables, grains, and legumes into daily plates that balance quick service with genuine comfort. Guests can choose between indoor seating or the adjacent terrace, though the space was intentionally designed to maintain warmth even during busy lunch hours.

The kitchen philosophy

The team approaches vegan cooking with strict discipline, rejecting animal ingredients to prioritize both personal health and ecological responsibility. Daily menus shift according to seasonal availability rather than rigid certifications, which keeps ingredient sourcing agile and flavors consistently bright. Proviant’s organic lemonades and locally roasted Vollmer coffee round out the beverage program, while reusable Vytal and ReCup systems handle takeaway orders without single-use waste.

Signature plates and recognition

Guests frequently order the Krawummelteller, which layers hokkaido rolls, falafel balls, and spiced hayati alongside house hummus and sprouted greens. The super-k burger showcases how plant-powered dishes can rival traditional favorites, swapping meat for a quinoa and walnut patty topped with avocado cream. Hearty options like the california sun bowl combine roasted sweet potatoes, tamari spinach, and yellow curry rice. This consistent execution and eco-conscious approach earned the venue a 1.5 ladle rating from the Schlemmer Atlas guide.
