A great way to introduce your non-vegan friends to more plant-based options is through a popular vegan buffet which gets a lot of praise and shows the art of vegan cuisine! Since their grand reopening in 2014, they now provide a convenient delivery service called vega-taxi (www.vega-taxi.de) as well, to go along with their new looks.

Past & Future puts great emphasis on cooking with creativity, attention to detail, and doing it in the healthy plant-powered way!
