Nice lunch on spacious terrace

2023 07- Another visit. Had the redefine Meat (3 printed burger, 15€) kebab wrap (14€), Bitterballen (8€) and fries 6€
And a strawberry icecream as dessert 🍨, 8€ 🤤
Lovely food. Friendly service. But a long wait (20 minutes between giving the menu and taking the order, ...) with less than a handful of tables.

Outside is no longer on a elevated terrace.

Nice to have so many menu options, it was difficult to choose!

We had the sticky mushrooms (6,50€) a broodje kroket (7,50€) the kebab wrap (11,50€) and two portions of fries 2x4€ (which was way too much ;-).
Together with two non-alcohol drinks (tonic and mocktail mojito) that was 42,5 €. Which seems fair.

The food was great, although the 'kroket' didn't have a distinct taste. Nice wraps and loved the mushrooms!

The restaurant is on a quiet square, we had a relaxed lunch. Friendly service.

Outside terrace is with steps, indoor restaurant a small step to get in. Did not notice an accessible toilet.

Zero waste day

I accidentally went to this place on a Monday, wich is their “Zero Waste” day. A very cool idea, you can not order àla carte but have the choice how many courses you want and get a surprise menu. All the dishes were very good made and delicious.
Strong recommendation!

Pros: Zero Waste Day

Cons: Crowded Party Area on Weekends

Feines Essen

Der vegane Kebab war super lecker, der Bagel mit Lachs ebenfalls. Und nicht zu vergessen, die Pommes waren ein Traum! Das Personal war sehr freundlich, englisch gar kein Problem und die Location hat echt stijl.

Vintage Vibes and Delicious Food

I had the Friet Stoof (Flemish Stew) and my partner had the Kapsalon (essentially a doner kebab with chips instead of pitta), and we shared the Mac and Cheese Bitterballen. Lovely to be able to try veganised versions of traditional European dishes. Fantastic selection of beers, lovely staff, awesome quirky decor.
Be aware that on Mondays (at the time we visited) it's Zero Waste night where they use up the remaining food to create an unknown set menu. Fine for those who are adventurous and would be happy with anything on the menu.

Pros: Fantastic variety, including traditional dishes , Friendly and helpful staff , Decor and general vibe, centrally located

Cons: Wish you'd open all day everyday , Zero waste night not for everyone

Beste vegan steak ever!

Wij raken niet uitgepraat over de steak die we hier gegeten hebben. Helaas was de steak er enkel in januari, maar hopelijk komt hij terug want dit was bijna eng, zo echt smaakte het! Het restaurant zelf was ook erg gezellig, tevens met vriendelijk personeel en ook de overige gerechten waren erg lekker. Als voorgerecht hadden wij onder andere de kaas ballen, dit was absoluut een aanrader. Als dessert hadden wij de deelplank, dit was ook erg leuk.

Updated from previous review on 2023-02-07

Pros: Bizar goede vegan steak, Heel gezellig, Super lekker vegan eten

Cons: Vegan steak was eenmalig in januari

Second time started with Bitterballen followed by the kebab wrap. Very tasty.

Yummy plants

My husband (not vegan) and I are in Eindhoven
visiting. Calypso is close to our hotel so the
location is perfect for us. I'm so happy to have
such a delicious plant based restaurant close by
especially since it's been rainy. Today was our
second visit and I'm sure we'll be back again
before we leave. Menu has a good variety for the mood you're in. My husband is just as pleased as I am. He has had the pizza kebab and a falafel burger both of which he loved. I have had the
poke bowl and noodle bowl, so delicious. I would
highly recommend Calypso. Good vibes abound.

Pros: Good variety of plant based choices, Comfortable atmosphere, Great, helpful, friendly servers

Amazing falafel and pizza

The food here is amazing! Especially loved the falafel with just the right bite, and the pizza which was just perfectly baked. The desert Affogato (icecream with coffee) was also very good.

Updated from previous review on 2022-08-30

Pros: excellent food: pizza, falafel, deserts, good value, friendly staff

Cons: biking-lane-asfalt in front (inside is more cozy)

Quite nice

The food is good, however some dishes are blend, and could use more seasoning, the prices are quite high and the menu is unfortunately only in Dutch, which is surprising for Eindhoven, since is very international, they have nice drinks

Pros: Atmosphere inside and outside , Many options , Polite stuff

Cons: Expensive , Menu only in dutch

wonderful tasty meal

In contrast to the previous night where I had a really poor meal I was directed with serendipity to this restaurant. What a wonderful piece of opportunism. I had a glorious tasty bowl of plant ingredients that made you feel good for choosing to eat vegan food. To top it I was served by a lovely young dutch meisje who had the most glorious smile that lightened up the room. Ovid said: " The smiles of women are gifts from the gods." Wow!

Pros: The meal, The waitress
