Nice lunch in a spacious and bright setting - Edit
Vegetarian restaurant with buffet (most of it is vegan, and vegan dishes are clearly indicated).
Not all you can eat but pay per weight. A bit on the expensive side.
Vegan dessert options, vegan icecream!
Nice decor, spacious, clean.
Overall: we loved it!

Vegan heaven - Edit
I am in love with this place. Fresh and organic food in a cosy industrial interior.
I love the fact you can chose your food and combine your favorites on one plate.
The food looks and tastes fresh, healthy and changes very often.
And not to forget the cappuccino with oats milk is just delicious.

Enjoyed the variety - Edit
We ate lunch here today and enjoyed the different tastes in the different dishes at the buffet. The ingredients definitely feel like quality, the food was not greasy, and I felt good afterwards too, even with my sensitive stomach. We liked the decor and neighborhood as well. Which ones of the dishes were vegan, was clearly indicated. There were some nice deserts as well.
Pros: Great tasting food, Quality ingredients, Vegan options clearly indicated
Cons: A bit from the city center, though still walkable.

lovely food - Edit
I went to Noordoever when it had just opened its doors and, indeed, by the time we sat down to eat, the food had gone cold. But it was all so so tasty. I went back last week and they've changed their approach (you open an account, get your food, eat it and pay when you've finished) so it has improved. The food wasn't hot but still warm enough. And super tasty!

Tasty but cold - Edit
I was very happy to hear about this buffet restaurant. Leuven still didn't have something like that.
The range of choice is good, and the food is how I like it:balanced, seasoned well and a mix of world cuisines. And the taste was as good as expected.
It is not cheap though: with a good plate of food (you pay by weight), you'll end up with 15 euro's more or less. A price I'm happy to pay, for warm food. But the lamps to heat the 'hot' dishes are inadequate or the waiting line is too long, in every case, the three times I've been there (and friends as well) the food was quite cold.
Since it's quite new, the place still attracts enough diners, but I think that will deminish if this problem is not adressed. That would be a real shame.
Pros: Choose your own, Tasty, Biological
Cons: Warm food is not warm, Expensive
