Great food, great place - Edit
We had a very warm welcome here, the atmosphere was very cosy, and were helped overall very well by the waitresses. The food was great. We had some Raw-food dishes for the first time in our lives - we are very sceptical towards the claimed benefits, and also didn't believe it could be really tasty, therefore never tried any - which had however excellent taste. The brownie dessert was really, really good - at home, I make brownie myself regularly, but this was way better. We will definitely make another visit soon.

Tasty, friendly, affordable - Edit
Loved this restaurant, probably the best vegan meal I have had so far. You could taste the love for food and flavors of the owners. Everything was prepared with care and served by the friendly staff. Will definitely go again next time we're in the Hague.

Delicious - Edit
We had a great dinner. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. Though I would recommend to make a reservation as the place is quite small, but I'll definitely come back again.
Pros: Friendly staff, Good portion sizes, 100% vegan as they claim

Tasty, 'simple' food - Edit
We ate here on a lovely sunny evening and ordered the raw salad, asparagus with seitan schnitzel and the chipotle burger. Their menu changes with the seasons, spring menu was on since 3 weeks.
The food was good. Dishes weren't super creative or original but definitely very tasty. I liked the seitan schnitzel a lot, firm and crispy as I hoped. Staff warned that the burger might be very spicy. It was just perfect for me, but I enjoy spicy food. The oven potatoes weren't made in oil but water. Still they were quite crispy and as tasty as when using oil. I don't mind the use of oil, but for those who do it's a nice plus.
Staff was really friendly and attentive, waiting time between dishes was perfect (I'm commenting on this since other reviewers complained).
I found the prices a little on the expensive side, but then again portions are quite big. I barely finished my plate and I eat a lot normally.
The location is not really scenic or attractive, but the restaurant is not to blame for that obviously. It's a bit away from the centre as well, which could be a downside for some.
Walking through the city to Veggies on Fire we spotted another vegan place and walking back I spotted a vegan supermarket. Could times finally be changing? ;)
Pros: friendly staff, tasty food, big portions
Cons: prices, location

Thoughtfully prepared - Edit
Incredible meal, from drinks through dessert, thoughtfully prepared by a wonderful, friendly couple in a beautiful atmosphere. In Europe we found a plethora of fake meat based restaurants (not complaining, they were good too!) so it was a nice respite to enjoy a meal based on scrumptious, fresh vegetables, perfectly prepared. Highly recommend a stop here.
Note that, like many places in Europe, dinner is an experience. There's more time between courses than Americans may be accustom to. Put enough time aside and enjoy it!
Pros: fresh, creative, family feel

Vegano y delicioso - Edit
Después de una visita a La Haya, nada mejor que cenar en Veggies on Fire. Es un restaurante 100 % vegano, donde tienen una carta deliciosa, llena de sabores y con algunos platos picantes. Los propietarios y camareros son acogedores y agradables, es un lugar donde me sentí muy bien atendida.
Pros: Platos sabrosos, Personas amigables y educadas, Verdura fresca, del día

Loaded plates of veg stuff - Edit
This place is a good example of vegetarian restaurants these days. The main dish, a veg burger, was loaded. The wine list was minimalistic, the personel friendly. The bill however was very real and frankly excessive in relation to the meal.

Good food, nice people - Edit
After many good reviews on this site and others, we gave it a try. First impression was perfect; the room very cosy, the owners very friendly and welcoming. They even did the effort of making a less spicy burger for my two year old. Still I wouldn't recommend the place for parents with children, as the waiting time is extremely long. We had to wait more than an hour between the starter and the main course, which is long and with a child way too long (and we did arrive as one of the first ones). The food itself was really nice; raw sushi being the absolute best. And the kale chips as a start was a nice touch. My partner was less impressed by the tempeh Chimichurrie. The cashew cream was amazing. And we would have loved to stay for the desert, which looked very delicious, but had to go home, since it was getting way too late for the little one. In short; I recommend this place, but not if you are in a relative hurry.
Pros: Original food, Very friendly service, Wonderful ambiance
Cons: wait between courses, No children option

Wonderful food, great atmosphere! - Edit
The dishes are very creative, with great flavour combinations and beautiful presentation.
The seasonal menus have gluten-free and raw vegan options too, and if you have any other food allergies, just let the staff know and the food you order will be prepared accordingly.
And make sure you leave room for desserts!!
Not the cheapest of places, but the high standard of the food is definitely worth it.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, nice vibe

Yaaaaay - Edit
Very very nice! Had some amazing food here. Wonderful nut-based dips, delicious burger (yummy spicy chipotle burger) with a very good side salad (lots of different veggies), very nice crispy potatoes and delicious mayonaise. And the desert... wow!
Also a big plus: the passion that they have for what they make, and the willingness to unravel the cooking secrets.
I'm already looking forward to the next time I can go here!
Pros: Delicious Food, Nice Atmosphere, Friendly Staff
Cons: ..?

Exceeded expectations, great vibe ! - Edit
Great place ! The food and presentation are exquisite!
Loved the croquettes and the burger was great ! I was skeptical about the Crème Brulee, being vegan and all, but gave it a whirl and I was very pleasantly surprised. Man, this was a feast fit for a king and I will most definitely come back soon. Next time I'll try the pepper steak !
The service was also outstanding ! I also met the owners. Great people with a genuine dedication which is reflected in every way !
Pros: Superb Organic Food, Outstanding Service, Great Atmosphere

Vegan with passion - Edit
While I love every new option for vegan dining, I was underwhelmed by Veggies on Fire. The decor and sfer is great and the service is very attentive. However, the kitchen seems to be run more on idealism than on cooking skills, because the food turned out to be hit-or-miss.
The groente kroket as a starter was nice, but the pate with the crackers was somewhat boring. It is basically a spoonful of an ok-tasting veggie paste with some dry crackers.
After that, we waited a full hour for our main course, which is simply unacceptable to me.
The tower of tempeh was very tasty, but it comes with a big side salad that was completely undressed and therefore was not pleasant to eat at all.
The Chipotle Burger consisted of a very mushy patty, a quite dry bun and a splash of Ketchup. Why can't there at least be a slice of tomato, salad, cucumber on the burger? Even a 1€ Burger at McDonalds has that. For 16€, this main was extremely disappointing.
There also some RAW food options on the menu which I only saw being served to otherwise customers. It looked like a decent sized salad of julienne vegetables, but I don't think I would want to go back to try it as it also seems quite pricey at 17€.
Pros: Fully vegan, RAW options
Cons: long wait
A must-visit! - Edit
The service was wonderful, with each course carefully explained with a true passion and love for their fresh ingredients. The food simply delicious. The ambiance fresh, clean and modern. The real pleasure to have experienced Veggies on Fire!
