plant-based cuisine does not mean giving anything up . " If you really look into it , vegan cuisine offers an extremely wide range of options ," says Hildebrand . The " Stuttgart Boys ", including head chef Timo Kadner , have been setting innovative culinary trends since the vhy ! opened , and not just with the name : " We deliberately put the exclamation mark after the name because we want to be the answer to the question ' Why vegan ?'. We want to inspire , surprise and encourage people to enjoy plantbased nutrition ," says Hildebrand .

Creative cuisine meets expressive table arrangement At vhy !, the laid table is intended to create an inviting atmosphere that is not too " eco ", but not too conservative either , so that guests feel completely at ease — and they do . The dishes served are colourful , healthy and surprising and the kitchen team plays with unexpected colours and combinations . The WMF Professional porcelain showcases these colours to optimum effect : The Lagoon ceramic plates from the STYLE LIGHTS lifestyle product range provide the perfect stage for the innovative culinary creations . Hildebrand adds : " We have big plans — especially with our partners , such as WMF . Of course , our focus remains on vegan cuisine . Let us surprise you !"
