Katzentempel München Maxvorstadt
Katzentempel München Maxvorstadt is a vegan restaurant with resident cats on Türkenstraße in Maxvorstadt, a few minutes on foot from Universität U-Bahn station (U3/U6), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the Englischer Garten. Opened in 2013 by Thomas Leidner and Kathrin Karl, it was the first Katzentempel and Germany's first restaurant with cats living on the premises, and it is now the flagship of a franchise with branches across the country. About six cats taken in from animal welfare organisations live here permanently, so they are not up for adoption. They move around the room on high walkways, beds and hammocks and have a retreat closed to guests, and they decide for themselves when to approach visitors. There is no entry fee: guests order from the fully plant-based menu of breakfast, burgers, bowls, cakes and coffee drinks. Tables can be reserved online, and cat sponsorships, vouchers and merchandise are sold.
