Great food, great service - Edit
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!

Very average food - but sure, lots of vegan choices and quite a fun environment for drinking - Edit
Sorry to say but our experience was that this is the sort of vegan restaurant that would convince anyone to not go vegan!
Read moreThere 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! - Edit
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.
Read moreService 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.

Nice and cosy restaurant - Edit
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!
Read moreTip! 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 - Edit
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.

Lovely place and great comfort food - Edit
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.
Read moreAnd 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.

Lovely place, great food - Edit
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.

Definitely a must! - Edit
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!

Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it - a coming of age update - Edit
Have tried: to order food (7 times, 3 times successfully).
Read moreHave 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 - Edit
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.

Favo spot in Eindhoven - Edit

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.
