About this ebook
Despite being known as an industrial city, Stuttgart is a green city with many residents embracing a healthy lifestyle of outdoor living, exercise and environmentally and animal-friendly cuisine. Due to an ever-expanding expat and immigrant population, food from all over the world can be found here and one is definitely not limited to the traditional Swabian fare of meat and starch. Veganism is becoming ever more mainstream, with more and more vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and shops popping up all over the city.
The Vegan City Guide to Stuttgart contains dozens of detailed reviews of vegan, vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants, shops, events and markets in Stuttgart, along with general and vegan resources for Stuttgart, vegan activities and groups, some common translations, a few recipes with photos and a link to an online map showing the locations of every establishment listed in the guide.
The e-book features speedy search capabilities that lets you shoot back to the Table of Contents from every chapter heading and jump easily to the websites of listed establishments by clicking on the embedded links. A handy geographical index lets you search establishments by the neighborhoods that they're in.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the people who helped me during the writing of this guide. In particular I wish to thank my husband who, despite not being vegan, chaperoned me around and shared with me many memorable vegan meals. In addition my friends Ashley, Tara and Uta without whose suggestions this guide would not be as complete as I think it is. My gratitude also goes to Angie, Debby and Simon of the Stuttgart Vegan Facebook Group and Achim Stamberger of Vegan Street Day, who were a valuable source of information and encouragement, and who do a great job in spreading the vegan culture in Stuttgart.

Introduction
Despite being internationally known as an industrial city, Stuttgart’s heart beats green. Whether you reach the Baden Wurttemberg capital by car, train or plane you will be amazed at how many natural resources the city has. There are green hills covered with forests where you can walk or jog for miles without meeting anybody and vineyards even in front of the main train station. Green fields and flowery gardens surround the city, not to mention the huge parks in the city centre like the Schlossgarten, as well as those, such as Killesberg Park or the Max-Eyth-See, that are easily reached by public transport.
When the weather is nice, and this happens more than you would expect for Germany, all Stuttgarters like to go out in the open air and you will find them sunbathing or picnicking in the parks, walking or biking in the forests, or simply enjoying fresh air and beer in a Biergarten (beer garden).
Stuttgart is a very cosmopolitan city and while walking in the pedestrian areas you might hear a lot of different languages spoken. This is due both to a large immigrant community and the presence of various U.S. Military Bases and multinationals such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Bosch, which attract the best international talents to work in their headquarters. You will not have problems finding international friends here - including other vegans. Making friends locally will be a slower process as Swabians tend to be a bit reserved, but under their serious masks you will find very sincere friends.
While the city might not have the same amount of cultural attractions as Berlin and Munich, it still offers a very vibrant cultural life with exhibitions, theatre, opera and concerts throughout the year; many of them even free of charge in the main Schlossplatz. The Staatsgalerie (National Art Gallery) has one of the best collections in Germany and the Kunstmuseum (Modern Arts Museum) is worth visiting, not only for the art, but also for the beautiful view over the city from the top of the museum. Mercedes Benz and Porsche both have very interesting museums that appeal not only to car lovers, but to people interested in design and architecture as well.
Worth mentioning are the great festivals held in this city. The festival season kicks off with the Spring Beer Festival (Frühlingsfest) at the end of April and ends with the Cannstatter Volksfest beer festival in October, both held in the Bad Cannstatt Wasen grounds. Incidentally, all German beer is vegan, so you can participate in these events with a clear conscience! Some local brands are Stuttgarter Hofbräu
, Dinkelacker
and Lammsbräu
(for this one I am told that even the labels are vegan).
Throughout the summer, weekly events are held on the Schlossplatz and surrounding streets. In April, the Cartoon Festival takes over the city; in July the Jazz Festival sets the stage for international jazz musicians and the city’s wine festival rings in autumn. Speaking of wine, vineyards surround the city and many delicious wines are produced locally. Many wineries offer tastings and wine-walks are often organised where you can walk through the vineyards and taste wines at the same time. (See the Vegan Resources page for a list of vegan wine producers).
Come December the city centre transforms itself into a huge Christmas market which attracts tourists from all over the world. While there is not much for vegans to eat at this market, you will be able to find some Christmas decorations that are vegan, along with lots of ideas for your gifts and stands that sell food and Glühwein (hot wine with spices).
One of the attractions which make Stuttgart a city worthwhile visiting are the thermal baths. There are three, all located in Bad Cannstatt and they all offer inside and outside pools as well as saunas and steam baths.
If you are visiting and you don’t have a car, you will find that you can reach almost every corner by public transport. U-Bahn, S-Bahn, regional trains and buses will take you everywhere.
Stuttgart is a very prosperous city and, although you might hear jokes from Germans from other regions about Swabians being thrifty, shopping is one of their preferred activities. From high fashion designers
