That was 2022 A culinary journey through the first year of Plantenköök In mid-April 2022, I, Sean Moxie, opened my first restaurant. The Plantenkook in Bremen. Purely vegan, without convenience food. Only homemade, seasonal dishes with local produce. A culinary journey that has only just begun. With a rustic lunch...

Dear guests of Plantenköök,
unfortunately I have to inform you that I have to close the Plantenköök with immediate effect (5.9.23).
As in many companies, we have had a much too high shortage of staff from the very beginning.
In the last 19 months, since the renovation began, I have worked 7 days a week, at least 16, often 20 hours a day. I tried to compensate for the lack of employees by consistently working all the time. I’m generally very resilient, but with work weeks that never fall below 100 hours and no days off, I now have to admit that this situation is no longer bearable for me.
As beautiful as the Plantenköök is and as much as I love my work, without free time, without time for my second heart project dailyvegan.de, without time for friendships and other people important to me and with the permanent overload I unfortunately cannot continue.
Actually, I would have gone on vacation for the first time in mid-August, for 11 days, but unfortunately I got very sick straight away. So it was lucky with the vacation because I had prepared a lot and designed the menu accordingly to my absence. So that my employees got along reasonably well without me for last 3 weeks.
Even though I’ll be recovered soon, I don’t see any way to only temporarily close the business and then open again. Because I’d have to get back to my old workload immediately. There is a lack of hours and without me the restaurant simply does not work on many levels and in many areas of work. Alone the delicacies I prepare, such as matured vegan cheese, smoked ham and other specialties. No one in the team but me can produce those professionally, based on their professional work experience. And in day-to-day business, there are not enough working hours to keep the business running. Not to mention the management etc.
Therefore, due to the lack of trained employees, I now have to give up Plantenköök.
That’s incredibly difficult for me, because the Plantenköök is an absolute lifelong dream of mine and has become a wonderful, beautiful place, a nice place to work, with a great team, with lovely guests and incredibly good food. A place of well-being, with vegan, sustainable, regional, minimal waste and healthy cuisine. A place I always wanted to make. But unfortunately it shouldn’t be.
Many thanks again to my small but great team of wonderful people. And of course to you, who have been wonderful, lovely guests for the last 1.5 years! We’ll definitely see each other again somewhere else.
Kind regards to you
Sean

Treat yourselves with seasonal goods
At Plantenköök, you will be greeted with the greatest plant based culinary pleasures. For us, knowledge of vegan cuisine is not just an addition, but an elementary part of our cooking culture. Head chef and Plantenköök owner Sean Moxie is always curious to deepen his knowledge in order to offer you a varied, authentic, culinary experience.
Many of you know Sean’s recipes from publications, television or his blog Daily Vegan. Perhaps you have even been at one of his events or eaten at a restaurant he has worked at.
Now you can finally enjoy Seans cooking to the fullest.
Our employees stand by our values of a plant-based, sustainable life style. But the social aspect must not be neglected either. That’s why we always have a dish of the day with a price of between 2 and 8 euros based on your financial self-assessment. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Everything is homemade with us
We prepare everything ourselves from fresh and good ingredients. As far as possible, we use seasonal and regional produce. We are working with local farmers in the area. We prefer working with labeled organic ingredients or to buy from producers who work according to organic standards.
We pay attention to sustainability in the manufacturing process in order to offer you the best farm to table experience.
We are using these good roots, mushrooms, fruits, vegetables and grains to create our cheese alternatives. As well as our vegan meat and fish alternatives and of course all of the rest of our dishes.
We ferment, pickle, dehydrate, love freshness and we use a wide variety of cooking and preparation methods to make your taste buds dance on your tongue.
Cosiness and enjoyment
The Plantenköök stands for regional products and purely plant-based specialties in a relaxed and cosy atmosphere.
In our small deli area you can also buy many homemade delicacies to take home. You will find various matured and fresh cheese alternatives, seitan ham, various other specialities and small snacks. Just have a look!

Our charcuterie food boards are perfect for sharing with friends. Ideal as a snack in between. The perfect start for a long night. Get together at the table!
Soli Teller
We believe everyone deserves delicious and healthy food. Made from seasonal, fresh local produce. We also believe that everyone should have a great time with us at Plantenköök.
In reality, however, many people cannot afford to go out to restaurants or eat healthy food. We would like to make a small, modest contribution to a world where everyone eats well.
Therefor we’ve launched our Soli plate of the day.
Pay what you can. That means, you pay for this dish based on your own assessment. If you’re short on money, you can get a delicious meal that fills you up from €2. Anyone who can give more is invited to pay up to 10€.
We donate one euro per Soliteller sold to a good cause.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our Soliteller.
Deli
Feel free to visit our deli counter when you leave. Or just in between, if you are in Bremen city center. Our deli counter always provides you many homemade delicacies to take away.
For example our homemade vegan, aged cheeses like Carmen Berta and Blue Pauli. Or meat specialties like our vegan smoked ham. Smoked by Sean himself over cherry and beech wood.
