Because I only stayed in Heidelberg for such a short time, I did not try out the vegetarian restaurants in town, but there are four different ones, have a look here:

As you can see, there is also an Alnatura shop - this is a good place to stock up on tofu, vegan chocolate and other things. Alnatura is a supermarket for organic groceries, and they have a lot of vegan options.
At Hauptstraße I saw one or two Asian restaurants and I would have chosen to go there if I had had more time, but I opted for the fastfood Subway restaurant which is directly in the centre and ordered a veggie sandwich without cheese - always a good option :-)

Not far from Schloss Heidelberg, Hard Rock Cafe is true to its nature. The food is good, the lighting is low, and the t-shirts are sold in the back. Outside seating (on a busy, entertaining street) is available in the warmer months. Pricing is fair, and service is friendly. (Our waitress spoke decent English.)
The website (listed below) has excellent photos of the inside, as well as a partial menu and contact information.
Favorite Dish: I had a flame grilled pizza named after Marilyn Monroe. It was excellent. The crust was topped with a white sauce, onions and shredded chicken. My only complaint is that I wasn't able to eat every last bit...it was easily big enough to serve 2. (Or even 4 with small appetites.)

Being in Heidelberg from some years now I used to enjoy the ice cream of the Eiscafé Roma. Unfortunately it has become clear that I need to be on the lookout for a new favourite place. The service mentality of the location is in no comparison to what it used to be. Unfortunately I have the feeling that it is related the thinking that only tourists visit places close to the Hauptstrasse and not locals.
I had noticed hectic and unfriendly service already for some time in the past but a recent encounter with friends at the place just left me speechless. When we took a seat at the café outside on a beautiful sunny day, we were served by a hectic and unfriendly waiter. We were surprised wondering if the Roma cannot afford friendly personnel anymore. But then it became even worse. Due to his stressful behaviour the waiter spilled a glass of water over the trouser of a friend. There was no "Sorry", he just turned red and went away to get a naktin. He then cleaned the table in such a way that the liquidity that was not yet on the trouser of my friend ended up there as well. When we later complained at him and afterwards at an elder colleague to whom he delegated the unsatisfied customers there was complete indifference. Meaning: it was water only, so what is the problem? No indication that my friend ended up paying for something she did not even drink. We were shocked at that attitude and could only explain it such that the owners think their guests are daily visitors in the city and will not return the next day anyways. We definetly won't!

Mensa Zeughaus is one of a few student cafes of Heidelberg's university. Located in the middle of the old town, it is easily reachable for the average tourist - and it's really worth it! In case you're looking for good and inexpensive food, try the Zeughaus. For a price of 1,25 Euro per 100g, the food is really a bargain. In comparison to other German universities whose cooks seem to be quite bad at cooking, those in Heidelberg really know their job. You can select from several salads, meat dishes, side dishes and desserts. Best of all: The courtyard of the building allows you to eat in a wonderful atmosphere under old trees - something that most student cafes can't offer.
Favorite Dish: most of the food is good - but you might be careful with some of the sauces

Noami recommended the Jägerschnitzel mit Champignonsauce and I was very pleased to have gone with her recommendation. She also informed me that Zum Supp'l translates as At the Joseph. It is a place with a lot of history. Go and enjoy and say hello to Noami...she's very friendly!

A traditional Brauhaus, with an outside beer garden in the warm weather. The original brewery was built almost 800 years ago. That's a lot of beer.
Traditional German fare, and a great selection of beers. This is a loud, fun place-- very welcoming for large groups as well.
There is also a hotel, with beautiful rooms in the range of 120 € for a double. See the website for maps and much more information.
Favorite Dish: Beer.

Vetter brews its own excellent beer right on the premises and also serves very good traditional German food. I finally got to use the word "Kartoffelsalat" when I ordered my lunch there. The location is perfect because it is right in the heart of the historic district near the Hauptstrasse, between the Old Bridge (Alte Brucke) and the Church of the Holy Spirit. From Vetter it is an easy walk to the castle (Schloss Heidelberg)
Favorite Dish: Weisswurst mit Kartoffelsalat (white sausage with potato salad). Actually that's the only thing I ate there, but it really hit the spot.

THE DELPHI RESTAURANT in HEIDELBERG can treat you to the real taste of Greek Food....
An array of Greek SPECIALITIES are on their Cards.....you just have to order.....
Open: 11.30AM - 3PM and 5.30PM - midnight.
They are closed on Tuesday when they need to recover from pampering all their guests which we all can understand, can't we??
Favorite Dish: It is a nice idea that all you order can also be taken away to e.g. the place where you camp or stay......

Café Gundel is an excellent option for a rest after having walked down from the castle. It is said that it is one of the oldest bakeries in Heidelberg and they still produce their own cakes and pastries. With its location near Kornmarkt (this is where the madonna is located which is often found in photos of the castle) it is in easy reach for visitors.
Cafè Gundel is always my café of choice when I bring foreign colleagues to Heidelberg and no one was disappointed up to now because Gundel is pastries and cakes at its best. The cakes are reflecting the seasons, so in summer expect many fruit cakes, like the red berries cake and the blueberry cake in my photos. They also serve breakfast until 5 p.m. (yes 5 p.m. in the afternoon) and small daily menus, vegetarian options included. Inside of the restaurant they have 80 seats, outside on the square east of Kornmarkt it is another 55 seats.
Prices vary of course, depending on the order but I would say that they are a tad bit cheaper than along Hauptstraße, Heidelberg's main tourist axis. For our two cakes and 2 latte macchiato we paid approx. 10 Euro.
Café Gundel is open Tuesdays - Sundays from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and is closed on Mondays.
