Groot succes - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Veel vegan opties, Kraanwater is gemakkelijk beschikbaar, Kwalitatief goed eten
Cons: Redelijk prijzig (zo duur als je het zelf maakt)

Many options! - Edit
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.
Read morePros: 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 - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Tasty, Healthy, Buffet style - most is vegan
Cons: Gets pricey when you pick heavy food

AMAZING - Edit
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!!

Bof... - Edit
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 !
Read moreLe 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

Veggie heaven! - Edit
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!

Nice but expensive - Edit
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.

Weighting for no waste - Edit
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).
Read morePros: Paying by weight, Original dishes
Cons: Hard to evaluate the weight of plate in advance

My favourite place! - Edit
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.
Read morePros: 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.

expensive but interesting - Edit
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.
