Groot succes

Lekker eten. En ook heel veel vegan opties. Snap niet zo goed waarom HappyCow dat niet heeft aan staan voor dit restaurant. Dus als plantaardige eter kun je hier ook helemaal losgaan. Niet heel goedkoop, maar kwalitatief wel heel erg goed. Kraanwater is gewoon gratis en makkelijk beschikbaar in het restaurant. Vind ik toch ook heel netjes.

Pros: Veel vegan opties, Kraanwater is gemakkelijk beschikbaar, Kwalitatief goed eten

Cons: Redelijk prijzig (zo duur als je het zelf maakt)

Many options!

So many options, veggie heaven!!! Although it's a buffet the prices are quite high, normal main course meal will be 10-15€. Not the most cozy place to sit down and eat. Some things are very tasty! Others taste a bit strange.

Pros: Take your time to pick your food, Served free water, Special foods like sushi

Cons: Expensive if you are very hungry, Not cozy to sit down

Fijne plek

Ik kom hier graag voordat ik boodschappen ga doen in de Gimsel supermarkt ernaast. De meeste gerechten zijn veganistisch, en er is enorm veel keus. Gezond, lekker én gezellig. Ik eet er meestal voor rond de 13 euro (geen toetje). Prijs wordt bepaald per gewicht dus mensen zijn vaak erg verschillend uit qua prijs.

Pros: Tasty, Healthy, Buffet style - most is vegan

Cons: Gets pricey when you pick heavy food

Geweldig!!

Leuk concept, super veel keuze voor veganisten! Voorgerechten, warme, koude gerechten, toetjes, ijsbar, lekker van alles wat opscheppen en betalen naar gewicht! Een aanrader!

Pros: Veel verschillende soorten eten, Voor ieder wat wils

AMAZING

This place was absolutely incredible. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. I loved the buffet style system. I got a delicious miso soup with some INCREDIBLE homemade olive bread. My entree was a mixture of everything delicious I wanted to try. I was not disappointed. Highly recommended!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options!, So much variety from appetizers to desserts. , Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful outside seating

Bof...

Le concept est vraiment chouette : un buffet où on a accès à la composition de chaque plat avec beaucoup de choix, à première vue ça a l'air génial !
Le problème c'est que c'est pas super bon au final... Les plats manquent cruellement de goût et les mélanges d'ingrédients sont assez originaux dans le mauvais sens du terme, on trouve beaucoup d'anis par exemple...
Je déteste le gâchis et pourtant je n'ai pas eu le courage de finir mon assiette, je suis vraiment déçue et je trouve très dommage que cette belle idée de concept ne se prolonge pas dans la qualité :/
J'ai passé le reste de ma journée à me tordre le ventre et à me sentir nauséeuse, quel gâchis !!

Pros: Signalement très clair des plats vegan, Beaucoup de choix

Cons: Cher, Ingrédients mal choisis, Peu de saveurs

Foods at Spirit are like a piece of art. Perfect harmony of different tastes, it's like a party in your mouth. 90% vegan stuff and all dishes have all ingredients listed next to them. ❤ All time favourite restaurant.

Pros: Wide selection of foods of extremely high quality

Cons: It's so delicious you end up spending way too much

Veggie heaven!

This is one of my favourite places in Rotterdam. You get a huge variety of different food and desserts (a majority of it is vegan)and everything is 100% organic. It tastes great and I always enjoyed it a lot. A perfect choice at all times of the day!

The buffet has a good variety for everyone. Very tasty food. The price above average but I'm willing to pay because the quality is good.

Pros: big buffet, nice vibe, next to big bio supermarket

Nice but expensive

Went here a couple of times when I was still a Vegetarian and I liked the food and options. Even though I know organic ingredients are quite expensive I still find it a bit overpriced for a self-service-buffet-style kind of restaurant.

Pros: Many options , Organic

Cons: Expensive

Amazing buffet

The title says it all, they have an amazing cold and warm buffet. A lot of the dishes are vegan and delicious.

They have a nice collection of milk substitutes like soy oat and almond milk for your cappuccino or latte macchiato.

The seating area is spacious and very nice. Also dog friendly.

Pros: Many vegan and vegetarian dishes, Great selection , Very nice spacious but nice seating

Weighting for no waste

Really nice concept of restaurant: weighting your plate in order not to waste anything. Every single meal tastes delicious and you can take a tiny portion of anything you want if you wish to discover new things (or just take a big handful of your favorite dish !). Really nice that the menu is 100% biological AND vegetarian. Went here for lunch but we'll certainly come back for breakfast. The place is moreover calm and cosy and service is nice. Prices really depends upon your appetite (huge eaters might not find it suitable though).

Pros: Paying by weight, Original dishes

Cons: Hard to evaluate the weight of plate in advance

My favourite place!

Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or just a perfect coffee with cowmilk or a vegan milk, just what you like. Splendid food and very nice staff.

Pros: Buffet, pay what you eat, splendid food., Every day from 8:00 until 23:00, Nice terrace.

Cons: Sometimes crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings., If too many people you have to wait too long , before the counter so the food is getting cold.

Lekker eten van Veganistisch buffet

Heerlijk gegeten. Je kan zelf je keuze maken van een zeer uitgebreid buffet. Daarna wordt per gewicht afgerekend.. Een aanrader..

expensive but interesting

Price is high: 20 euros for a full dish. However, you learn new recipes, the choice is large, the beers are excellent, the service is very fine, the environment is clean.

Fantastic buffet, great options and really good food overall. Howere we spent over €15 on a single plate. Quality has its price I guess...
