Hearty food, friendly staff - Edit
Really liked the pasta here (ordered the pesto but it was not green...still good!) and the buffet looked good as well. They also had an assortment of cakes but I didn't try any. Really kind staff, food came out quick and hot! Right across the street from the train station, too.

Perfect concept and super friendly - Edit
Ever been annoyed because you couldn't just pick everything from the fully vegan menu because everything sounds yummy? Say no more! Lekker Gec solved the problem. Pay by plate weight from a buffet. Add fries or pasta, desert and drinks and you are set up for a perfect time. The staff is super friendly and helpful!

Pros: Buffet style - sample everything, Pay by weight - take only for how hungry you are, Uncommonly spiced

Fabulous, quite busy, near the station - Edit
We loved the concept of paying by weight. If you opt to not be weighed it’s €27 I think, but we had full plates with the weigh option and it was less than €40 for 2. Several salads, some mayo things eg tofu in veganaise, a curry, a nutty crumble, lentil lasagne, a bean stew and some cooked veg. Plus some fried nuggets
Read morePros: Choice of delicious food, and could eat all!, Novel concept, Friendly helpful staff
Cons: Perhaps a little pricey, but for organic, vegan , Food in the centre of town, we thought it was, Good value really

Amazing - Edit
So tasty. A bit expensive if you take a lot of heavy stuff. But the selection is small but very good. Paid €26 for a plate and was worried I might not finish. No danger of that. Demolished in 5 mins

Oprecht mijn lievelingsrestaurant - Edit
Ik hou zo veel van de sfeer in dit restaurant. Je kan hier altijd rekenen op vriendelijke en respectvolle mensen, zowel bij de bediening als bij de andere gasten. Ook zijn hier vaak goede initiatieven voor het goede doel of voor mensen met wat minder. Ik heb het gevoel dat heel het systeem en de inrichting gebaseerd is op een vertrouwen dat mensen samen voor deze plek kunnen zorgen. Ook zie ik dat er voor gezorgd wordt dat er zo weinig mogelijk (plastic) afval gecreëerd wordt en is er gratis kraantjeswater. Het eten is super lekker, ik ben vooral fan van de korma curry. Het buffet is de ster van de show maar buiten het buffet zijn er zeker ook veel extra opties waar je van kan genieten . Ik durf hier ook naartoe te gaan voor bijvoorbeeld enkel een dessertje. Persoonlijk vind ik het ook geweldig dat er genderneutrale toiletten zijn.

Plantaardig warm en koud buffet - Edit
Hier schuift men aan voor een uitsluitend plantaardig warm en koud buffet, je betaalt volgens de hoeveelheid je op het bord schept, ideaal om voedselverspilling tegen te gaan.

Decent food, but at what cost? - Edit
Payment is by weight and the price for a fairly basic buffet lunch turned out to be very high.

Overall decent food - Edit
I’ve been here many times, and overall the food is quite nice, although I wasn’t a huge fan the first times but it’s improved since then. I always get food from the buffet, it’s nice that it changes often.

Good pie and coffee - Edit
We only went here for pie and a coffee, but it was good! There were three 'cakes of the day' which were banana - coconut, brownie and a cherry cake. The latte was good and they also have a large variation in cold drinks.

Lekker 😉 - Edit
Eenvoudig en mooi ingericht. Veel variatie in gerechtjes. We kozen voor de formule waarbij het bord gewogen wordt. Ik gebruikte de helft van mijn bord voor sla en rauwe groentjes met de lekkere dressing en de pittenmengeling als topping. De andere helft voor de lasagne met paddenstoelen en tofu (op zich al 5 sterren waard) en de pakora van rode biet (5 sterren is te weinig!). Mijn dochter proefde ook de chili sin carne en vond deze nog lekkerder dan de lasagne. Het was aangenaam weer dus konden gezellig buiten eten en we hebben het dessert meegenomen voor achteraf.

Great place, bunch of options - Edit
Always something different. You pay for what you get and the prices are good. The food is usually great, and you choose what you take and how much. There's a lot of seating with a cozy/clean interior and a nice terrace.

Very nice, little confusing for the first time - Edit
I love a good vegan buffet. It's so nice to be able to eat everything. To have choice 💚.
Read moreWe both took the plate with the golden edge, so we made a lovely evening of it. Very nice date. As a dessert we took the 2 pies that where available.
It's just a bit sad that it's not mentioned that you need to order inside that means that one goes to the buffet (long wait) and the other one has to stay outside. Next time we would use a different approach.
Nobody came to clear the glasses and cups of the people before us. So they stood the whole time on our table.
Pros: All vegan , Cheap, Nice dessert and drinks
Cons: Confusing... , Nobody cleared the table

Tasty, simple cooked meals - Edit
Very tasty cooked meals and stews if you’re tired of frituurs. A plate full of food ended out about 12.50 EUR for me, so the prices are also good depending on how much you put on your plate.

Not really our favourite restaurant - Edit
This is a typical "healthy buffet, pay by weight" kind of place and these are usually a hit and miss for us. Unfortunately, this one was more of a miss. The food was very, very bland and some of it too greasy. I couldn't finish my meal because I simply did not like it. However, this might just be our personal taste or maybe it was just a bad day - there are so many good reviews for this place.
Read moreApart from that, the atmosphere was ok and staff were friendly. The location is quite good as well, it was close to our hotel and there are some nice shops around, which is why we chose this restaurant initially.
Pros: Good location, Good sized buffet
Cons: We did not like the food
