Erg lekker + prachtige plek

Heerlijk gegeten en een super mooie inrichting. Lekker centraal Utrecht. Aardig personeel. En leuke winkel in het zelfde pand

Update: niet vegan meer, erg jammer maar eten is nog steeds goed en veel opties!

Lekkere borrelhapjes

De oesterzwam bitterballen zijn een aanrader! Gezellige plek om te zitten.

Insgesamt ok

Für das ganze Restaurant gab es nur zwei Angestellte (einer davon hat gekocht und Essen in der offenen Küche vorbereitet ) und es waren fast alle Tische besetzt. Trotzdem waren sie super freundlich und die Wartezeit war auch ok.
Die Preise sind für Utrecht ok, jedoch dafür was man bekommt dann doch zu hoch. Leider auch nicht viele vegane Optionen.

Simply the best

Botania has a bunch of options which are vegetarian, and honestly everything was done really really well... Their Kimchi burger was so good and had awesome texture!

Pros: Awesome food, Greenhouse-ish decor inside, Seating overlooking a busy section of the street

Tasty Sandwich

We had a vegan KFC-style sandwich which was pretty tasty. It’s a nice restaurant in a Green Warehouse which has lots of cool products so definitely worth a visit.

The beverages are also very refreshing!

Tasty but expensive

Es war wirklich sehr lecker und es gab vegane Essensoptionen, auch vegane Milchalternativen.
Der Cappuchino war etwas klein und auch das vegane Sandwich für den Preis etwas klein. Die nicht veganen Pancakes waren eine gute Portion.
Man bestellt über einen QR Code und bezahlt per Kreditkarte.
Personal sehr freundlich, Essen war schnell da. Es gibt Sitze drinnen und draußen. Sehr angenehmes Ambiente.

Pros: Vegane Optionen, Schnell Essen bekommen , Große Getränkeauswahl

Cons: Teuer

No longer vegetarian

Back when this was a vegetarian restaurant the vegan menu used to be great, but the vegan options decreased when they started serving meat and the selection is now very limited for food. They still serve vegan cakes from Vegetalia, though.

Leuke plek

Botonia is een leuk eetcafé midden in de stad. Hun hoofdgerechten heb ik nog niet geprobeerd, maar de gebakjes zijn er erg lekker. Ook is de koffie prima

Pros: Veel veganistische opties, Prima koffie , Leuke sfeer

Go for the snacks!

Really good crispy cauliflower wings. Had a pumpkin soup that was good too. Nice atmosphere but a bit crowdy on saturdays, there's not much space between the tables and people were waiting outside to get a table.
Vegan options are labeled on the menu, mostly usual stuff like tosti, pita with humus quinoa bowl and bitterballen but also some special ones and the taste is good. Will certainly come back.

What a gem!

Lovely place for coffee, breakfast and lunch. Inside a sustainable store. Very friendly service, lots of vegan options. Pastries and sweets are all vegan!

Urban Jungle

This place looks amazing! I've never seen so many real plants inside any restaurant. Half of the seating is located within a greenhouse, the other part feels very open because of the many windows, yet cosy at the same time. Their outdoor terrace has a nice view over the Stadhuisbrug.
We only ordered some stuff from their bakery (made by Vegetalian) and we got quite a large portion of banana bread and pumpkin pie. They both tasted great.
They have a lot of special lemonades, from which we ordered a really nice one with elderflower. I had the chai latte with soy milk, and it was quite a special one. I think it was homemade. The only downside was the small cup!
Everything is vegetarian, and most of the things can be made vegan if asked. This is not so clear on the menu.

We will definitely come bake to taste more of their food, because it looked great on other people's plates.

It is located within an eco warehouse, which is also definitely worth checking out. Great for sustainable gift shopping!

Pros: Good looking place, Lovely baked goods, Focus on sustainable

Cons: Small cups for coffee and chai latte, Vegan options not clear on the menu
