Ovo
Italian
Beer/Wine
Honey

Restaurant and bar with two concepts, the ground floor restaurant is an "anti-pasti bar" where they serve small dishes for shared dining. The downstairs restaurant is called "restaurant", there you have to choose between a five or seven course dinner. Both restaurants share the same kitchen/chef, with dishes inspired by Italian cuisine. Everything is made in-house such as breads, dips, snacks, pastas, desserts and more. Previously listed as vegan, but reported to serve eggs and honey in July 2026. Open Thu-Sun 18:00-00:00.

Ze zijn niet meer vegan. Ze gingen alleen maar mee met de hype.

Owner apparently hates vegans

Owner apparently hates vegans and thinks they are militant. Restaurant is no longer strict vegan.

Cons: Used veganism to gain traction, Owners aren't vegan and apparently hates vegans, Expensive

Not vegan, not worth it

It used to be good before they got hyped up and increased their prices significantly without real changes in the food quality. Not worth it for me now, especially when they start to include eggs and honey under the guise of sustainability. Very uncreative if you can't even think of ways to simulate those in a plant-based way. Of course they can do whatever they want with their restaurant. But when I spend lots of money on dining I want to do it on a 100% vegan/plant-based restaurant.

Cons: Not vegan, Too expensive, Uncreative

No longer fully plant-based (and apparently never vegan)

Starting to use eggs and honey for ‘sustainability’ purposes. No proper actual explanation.

Not vegan anymore

Ate here two years ago, food was excellent. Now they've announced eggs and honey, dressed up as "nuance" and "sustainability". It isn't. Using animals after years of not using them is a huge step backwards, no matter the buzzwords.

Disappointing to see a restaurant reverse a genuinely principled stance, not just serve non-vegan food, but abandon what made them different.

For fully vegan options in Arnhem, try De Nieuwe Kantine, Vegan Sushi Bar, or Atelier Giri instead.

Cons: Shift back to animal products

Since five stars are only allowed for all vegan restaurants, I hope the rating here will be adjusted. They are now including animal products in their food.

Niet meer vegan / not vegan anymore

Nieuwe locatie heeft 2 menu’s. Een vegan menu en een menu met eieren en honing.

Ik heb hier altijd heerlijk gegeten, erg jammer dat ze nu niet meer plantaardig zijn.

Antipasibar. Top! Wel rumoerig en vrij vet eten

Antipasti bar is top! Door de volgepakte ruimte heel cozy, maar ook wel heel erg rumoerig, daar moet je wel tegen kunnen. Eten super lekker alhoewel het van mij net iets minder olie/vet zou mogen. Heel veel saus en altijd zwaar op de maag daarna. Maar blijf toch terugkomen 😋

Pros: Volledig plantaardig , Bediening

Cons: Altijd beetje misselijk van hoeveelheid olie / vet, Veel geluid, slechtere akoestiek, overprikkelend

Ottimo

I piatti e i vini erano ottimi, abbiamo avuto una serata meravigliosa. Non cucinano con miele anche se il dessert si chiama Lavender & honey, erano molto sorpresi che ho chiesto se l'hanno usato perché era scritto sul Happy cow.

Pros: Tutto

Cons: Niente

Heavenly food 😍

I went here twice so far and both times were fabulous. I went for the 5 course menu both times, because I didn’t want to / could not choose. The staff is lovely.
I’m autistic and sensitive to stimuli. For me, the venue is a bit intense. The light can be overwhelming and the noise level is rather high because the acoustics of the venue are not that great. I’ve brought a hat and ear plugs and managed fairly well when using those to reduce the intensity of stimuli somewhat.
The food is so incredibly good. It looks great, it’s filling, the different techniques and ingredients used all flourish (generally, I once had a pretty salty asparagus soup, but apart from that, the tastes have been balanced and refined).
There are some interesting cocktails on the menu.
Everything is fully plant-based!!
And the best news; there is a Konijnenvoer cookbook!!! I’ve bought it and it has proofed to be a great investment.

Update 24-12-2024 went for Christmas dinner with my parents and grandma and it was the best Christmas dinner I have ever had. It was a lot of fun sharing the experience with my family and the (wine) pairing made it all the more interesting. I want to try the non-alcoholic pairing sometime, that ought to be very interesting too.

Excellent

The best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. I love Italian food and Konijnenvoer does everything right! Great food, exciting food combinations, a lot of the food is homemade, friendly staff that know what they’re serving.
Two points of critisism: the music inside is quite loud. They ask you if they can offer you water. When we got the bill, it became clear that a bottle of water is six euros. That’s not a problem, but the way they say it implies that the water is free.

Unforgettable vegan excellence

Konijnenvoer easily ranks among the world’s top restaurants. Fantastic, innovative, and beautifully prepared dishes, a unique location, and warm, attentive, and genuine service. Can’t recommend more, worth a visit to Arnhem.

Got everything we desired

Went with a friend for a fancy night out. We took the 7 course menu, plus extra bites (vegan oyster friandises). Enjoyed all the little bites. We tried to pick a top dish but had to agree on at least 4 dishes being absolute favorites. I liked the variety between more traditional fine dining and some "indulgent" food like the mushroom barbie. We did expect more from the friandises at the end though, especially for the price.

Pros: Very good food, Good service, Creative

Cons: Expensive

Michelin star worthy experience

WAUW fantastische ervaring!
Vegan fine dining in Arnhem met zeer hoge kwaliteit.
We namen het 7 gangen menu dat vol creativiteit en smaakexplosies zat, met fantastische bijpassende wijnen erbij. Elke hap en slok was verrassend en alles complementeerde elkaar zo goed.

Verder een sfeervolle en fijne plek om te dineren als je iets te vieren hebt (of ‘gewoon’ omdat het kan).
Ik zou dit ook zeker aanraden om niet-vegans mee naartoe te nemen en hun te verbazen!

Absolute aanrader!

Michelin prices but not quite Michelin (yet)

Perhaps it isn't fair to compare this dining experience to another fine dining one we had the day after this one that we absolutely loved, but this restaurant experience fell slightly short, despite the fact it cost more than the other.

The courses themselves had some lovely flavors but sometimes lacked in terms of creativity, such as the mushroom skewer served with an oily pita bread. This course didn't feel like fine dining. 

In terms of service, it was friendly but there was quite a long wait between wine pouring and the dish to match it, which meant half of the (very small) pour was gone by the time the food arrived. The dining experience took 3.5 hours which was a little long for me. However, we really appreciated the explanation of how the wines matched the courses.

Of the several courses given, only one was a dessert. Normally, there are at least 2 sweet tastes in a fine dining experience (one often being complimentary). We were given after dinner mints at the end which just felt a little stingy after spending over 300 euros. 

This was a very expensive meal and while there were several highlights, it felt overpriced for what it offered.

Update:
It's gotten pricier and way fancier now. I preferred it before.

Fine-dining vegan experience in Arnhem

Splendid experience in their antipasti bar. Friendly staff and a delicious sharing menu. We went for an assortment of sides and starters which I would highly recommend.
The first floor is a great antipasti bar while at the ground floor is a fine-dining location in an old vault.
Highly recommend the sides (menu is changing with the season) but we had delicious Spitskol and roasted pumpkin with vegan whipped ricotta.
Almost everything is made in house or locally sourced (including the homemade kombuchas).

Pros: Seasonal cooking, Refined cuisine
