red die grüne Küche — Restaurant in Heidelberg

Hi All - We tried Red out for lunch during our most recent trip down to Baden-Baden. The restaurant was wonderful - as described in previous reviews - the food is buffet style with amazing choices and it was all very fresh and tasty. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and kind to "newbies" and made us feel at home. My Lebenspartner remarked that she didn't observe any "tofu" based dishes - which is kind of remarkable, and I also didn't stumble across any bean dishes (I was kind of hoping they might offer a bean burrito type dish that I miss from the states, but didn't find it).

I never imagined that one could have such an amazing feast in vegetarian/vegan food in Germany! I arrived in Heidelberg from Schwäbisch land (Stuttgart), where there were only two choices for a vegetarian: Käsespätzle und Maultaschen. And if one is lactose-intolerant, then one can only subsist on Kartoffelsalat. This restaurant fed me like I'd never been fed before! There seemed to be endless creations in vegetarian delicacies, both cold and hot, savory and sweet, that covered several long shelves.
