Burger King at the Westbahnhof only serves plant-based food. The “Krone” made the vegan test. Conclusion: a matter of taste.
Plant-based burgers are nothing new. But with a 100 percent vegan branch, the fast food chain Burger King, which lives off meat after all, is venturing into uncharted waters. Tuesday was the grand opening at Westbahnhof, and shortly before the shutters went up, a long queue had formed in front of the restaurant. Which was probably more due to the free burgers. “I know the vegan products from Burger King, but here they have plant-based bacon and cheese for the first time, I have to try that!” says Natalie Otte, who describes herself as a flexitarian, i.e. flexible vegetarian .This is how the meatless burger tastes We also want to try the meatless burger. At first glance, it looks similar to a “real” hamburger, but after the first bite it’s clear: the consistency is vaguely reminiscent of minced beef, but the taste isn’t. The first customers are pleasantly surprised. “I can taste a difference, but it’s not bad!” says Oskar Steuerer. And that’s in the vegan burgerBut what’s in the burger? The vegan Burger King is supplied by The Vegetarian Butcher. Instead of meat, soy is mainly used in the burger. But that also costs. A normal “Whopper” is available for just under four euros, the same vegan costs 5.50 euros. It remains to be seen whether meatless burgers will prevail in the long term among the Viennese.
