Cigkoeftem - Strasbourg

First all, be aware that the reported address (20 rue du Vieux Marché aux Vins) is the postal address and does NOT correspond to the entrance of the restaurant, which is located a few meter on the right, in the Place (not rue) du Vieux Marché aux Vins. From the railway station it's about 10 minutes on foot. The shop is small, only a few seats. and the choice is limited, as described by the other reviewers. But for a quick snack at a very competitive price (5 euros for a wrap and a canned drink) it's more than satisfactory. Everything is vegan apart from the cheese-based balls (haven't checked the dessert but others have reported yogurt).

You get the bulgar-based vegan pate, veggies, wrap, and sauce, and then you make the wrap yourself. It's not heated. There are 2 choices of pate, a normal and a spicy. I liked the spicy one a lot. It's just around the corner, slightly off of rue de Vieux Marché aux Vins.

We had the biggest platter of 20 pieces of that vegan paste. It was really good and cheap for the amount of food!

Everything was closed as I 'd just arrived late into town by train. The hotel suggested a place for a salad. Sadly, they too were closed. I kept walking thinking I 'd at least find a grocery but then I saw a green V neon light. NO WAY! I got closer. It was true a Vegan/Vegetarian cafe AND it was OPEN. I guess this is a chain. I 'd not been to Europe in 4 yrs so it was new to me. The fellow running it was helpful despite speaking almost no English. He shook his head NO when I asked about the dessert and found the English word: Butter. Clearly I couldn 't have the yogurt in the cooler either. But all else was vegan. VEGAN! I ordered the burger. He had me try the fillings first. I chose the spicy. WOOHOO!! I 've heard some of these places serve meat. This one definitely had NO meat anywhere. There was more signage inside about vegetarianism. Great find. ENJOY!

I had a nice falafel package, well seasoned and for a reasonable price. updated by previous review on 2022-04-20
