We are already chowing down on the Impossible Whopper that Burger King offers and now we may be getting a complete meat-free restaurant?
It’s not quite in the U.S. yet however, our European counterparts are going all in when it comes to plant-based menu items.
Burger King Germany is opening the fast food chain’s first-ever all-plant-based restaurant in Cologne, Germany. From Monday, June 7 through Friday, June 11, vegetarians, vegans, and the veg-curious can visit this limited-time location to try Burger King’s newest plant-based options, including a just-released sandwich called the Long Chicken Patty.

Burger King UK’s CEO Alasdair Murdoch recently said that it is working toward a menu that will be 50 percent plant-based by 2031. Last month, Burger King UK also debuted the Vegan Royale, a Vegan Society-certified version of its Chicken Royale sandwich.
According to Food & Living Vegan, the long-awaited vegan ‘chicken’ patty is topped with iceberg lettuce and vegan mayonnaise and, most importantly, it is prepared in a separate area so it does not come into contact with any meat, dairy, or egg products. “Customers can rest assured that when they order items displaying the Vegan Trademark they’re free from animal products and animal testing and that cross-contamination has been minimized,” a spokesperson for the Vegan Society said.
No surprises if they decide to give it a try in the U.S.
