Regensburg, Bayern · 55 mi / 88 km

Katzentempel ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​⁠Regensburg is a vegan all-day restaurant with resident cats on Obermünsterstraße in the southern part of Regensburg's old town, a few minutes on foot from the main station.

Six cats live here: Daisy, Luna, Pepper, Cookie, Shadow and Oreo, all born in spring 2025 and taken in from animal welfare. They arrived in 2025 after a period in which the restaurant had no cats, and they are permanent residents rather than adoptable cats. They roam freely among the tables. There is no entry fee; guests order from a plant-based menu with breakfast served all day, plus lunch dishes, burgers, cakes, lemonades, chai and matcha. A brunch buffet is held on the last Sunday of each month, and tables can be reserved online.
