Great food, great service

During the latest lockdown, I was able to order takeaway via their website. Was a bit lost to get to the location and I called the restaurant. They were very polite and helpful. Food was delicious! We got the Beyond Burger, falafel wrap, mini loempias and nachos. We got free drinks too for ordering over 35euros! Pity that I don’t live in Eindhoven but will definitely return when passing through!

Pros: Taste, Customer service

Goeie plek voor drankje en hap

Leuke tent in het centrum met veel dranken en snelle, vette happen, oa tapas, burgers en nachos.

Very average food - but sure, lots of vegan choices and quite a fun environment for drinking

Sorry to say but our experience was that this is the sort of vegan restaurant that would convince anyone to not go vegan!

There was not anything hugely wrong with the food but it was really uninspiring to eat. Unseasoned, ingredients that felt not freshly prepared.

The desert have to be singled out. They were awful. Tasteless every single element. Actually one of the weirdest plates we have eaten for some time. Just devoid of any flavour.

Underwhelming for us. We don't look for complexity or anything novel in our food, so simple bar style can be awesome - there was just such a lack of love in all the dishes. Best thing was the beetroot bulgar mezze plate.

Would not go again.

Great food!

I went here with friends and we tried their tapas. Wasn't really tapas, more of a tasting board of everything but still tasted delicious. We were with 4 and ordered the dessert tasting for two which was still more than enough after everything we had.
Service was good but not that great and there was room for improvement to be a bit more professional. I work service as well and I would never put cutlery and glasses stacked at the edge of the table, you give them to your guests.. We also had to ask for drinks a couple of times ourselves.
Seating looked nice but wasn't comfortable to sit at for 3 hours. Maybe just a cushion would help it be less hard and be a bit more comfortable.

All in all the food was amazing but they have room for improvement on other fronts.

Pros: All vegan and super tasy!

Cons: No comfortable seating.

great place

Another gem in Eindhoven. Good food (all vegan), also a great option to take your non vegan friends and family. Simple, tasty food and lots of beer/wine/cocktail options as well. They have a great terrace with sun all day

Pros: great food, affordable, sunny terrace

Nice and cosy restaurant

A totally vegan restaurant on the big barstreet of Eindhoven with a nice and cosy atmosphere. You can sit either inside or outside on their big terrace. We ordered a big jug of cordial to share, olives, sticky mushrooms and Oma Bobs vegan bitterballen as a starter and a shoarmawrap made out of mushroomstems for main. This comes with a salad and sweet potato fries. The wrap was a bit curry flavoured which I don't like, but my husband enjoyed it very much. We ran out of time, otherwise we would have tried more of their menu. They also have a lot of nice beers here. Definitely come back!
Tip! On Sundays they serve budget friendly zero-waste dinners what is leftover from their cooking.

Pros: Nice and cosy ambiance, Budget friendly, Tasty food

Cons: You have to wait longer for food in the peak time

Very happy they started delivering

We've not had the opportunity to visit the restaurant due to the COVID measures, but even when they just started up delivery (how inventive, using text messages and "tikkies"!) the service was really good and the food tasty. Wish there were more options so we could order more frequently with variation.

Pros: Tasty vegan food, Delivers, Good service and information with delivery

Cons: Options could be more elaborate

Lovely place and great comfort food

This cute bistro feels like you are in a living room, there are boardgames you can pick up and play and the personnel is super friendly.

And then there is the food, it’s all just great vegan comfort food and I would recommend everything I tried. For desert I had deep fried Oreos and they were absolutely amazing.

I will be returning her for sure.

Pros: Decently priced, A lot of choice , Friendly

Cons: Parking nearby can be a bit Expensive

Lovely place, great food

In the middle of Eindhoven's bar street Stratumseind lies Calypso, a bistro that was taken over some time ago and turned into an all-vegan bistro! The food is delicious, I can (especially) recommend the mushroom saté and the 'bitterballen' (veganized Dutch delicacy). They also have some of the best sweet potato fries in the Netherlands. Service can be a bit slow but the atmosphere in the place is very cozy and friendly, and there's a cupboard with dozens of board games to choose from if you need some distraction.

Very nice place to eat as a vegan. All the food options are vegan so there’s nothing to worry about.
The sweet potato fries were the best i’ve ever had, nice and crispy.

Definitely a must!

We ordered the tapas for 2 which includes the selection of their dishes in smaller amounts yet we couldn’t even finish the whole thing. My favourite was the sweet potato fries(could eat that forever!) The drinks menu was very descriptive and informative. Good quality food and drinks for an affordable price. Also it is convenient for bigger groups , to play boardgames etc. Strongly recommended!

Pros: Almost everything is vegan, So many options

Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it - a coming of age update

Have tried: to order food (7 times, 3 times successfully).
Have been told: the wait would be over an hour, supplies were low, staff was late and/or lacking....ergo, friendly people kindly asking me (and friends) to leave or sip on ait.
Have seen: a kitchen only fitted for deep frying and a ditto menu.
Have felt: this is Eindhoven's (yes, Eindhoven is the one and only alt-right capital of the Netherland as the only city over 50 inhabitants still allowing and sponsoring black face parades) best try to demolish veganism: right from the inside. I have friends and neighbours actually thinking vegans only eat fries and fried oreos (bit exaghurated, but you get the point).
Feel like: they can do better; Eindhoven has so little, asks next to nothing and even I feel the urge to try try!

Pros: Realistic staff, Lots of room to improve!

Cons: Veganism at it's fried core, Not very motivated to serve food at all

Tasty food

Got confused at first as I thought it was another bar in a street of bars... it’s not obviously a vegan restaurant. Most of the food was very tasty though there were some slightly odd combinations. They have vegan beers too.

Best vegan place in Eindhoven

I love to come here for a quick bite or for a long sit with the tapas plate. There are plenty of beer choices and the staff is super friendly. It feels like sitting in your own living room or your own backyard.

Pros: Friendly staff, All the food and 90% of the drinks are vegan , Great atmosphere

Favo spot in Eindhoven

So far, this is my favourite spot in Eindhoven. The location is excellent: nice atmosphere, cosy terrace at the end of the vibrant Stratumseind. We ordered the tapas for two. Big portions, and we enjoyed all of it. Especially the botanic bites are highly recommendable.

Pros: great atmosphere, excellent food, big portions

Amazing Food and friendly staff

This place serves amazing food, everything is vegan and freshly prepared. We took the tapas, just to be able to try some more dishes. All of the dishes were tasty. We enjoyed to beer battered mushrooms so much we even ordered a second portion after finishing the tapas. Also the staff was very friendly.

Pros: Amazing food, Every dish is vegan, Friendly staff
