Katzentempel Bochum

Katzentempel Bochum welcomes guests in the heart of Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, just a short stroll from the main train station in the city's pedestrian zone. As the first Katzentempel in the Ruhr region, this cozy, casual spot pairs a vegan restaurant with the gentle company of resident Tempelkatzen, each charmingly named after Ruhrgebiet dialect words. Guests can settle into the dining area for breakfast, lunch, or dinner while the house cats roam, nap, and mingle at their leisure. The kitchen serves a fully plant-based menu, including creative bowls, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and desserts, alongside coffee, tea, housemade lemonades, and iced matcha drinks. Outdoor seating, wheelchair-accessible entry, and reservations are available. Whether you come for a relaxed meal or to meet the Bochumer Tempelkatzen, this is a purr-fectly welcoming stop for cat lovers.
