Frietje met! Met groente graag! - Edit
Leuke plek om eenvoudig, maar goed te eten. (Vega of vegan) Het is er altijd gezellig druk, fijne bediening, je kunt er een lekker biertje drinken, en ja wij (en de kinderen) houden van een frietje, maar lusten er ook graag groenten bij. Het voelt een beetje alsof je bij iemand thuis aanschuift.

Cons: Soms is het wel erg vol, Houten banken in de kelder

Great ambiance, mediocre food - Edit
Have been here several times as the options in Nijmegen have become limited.
Read moreThis space has a nice busy and activistic atmosphere.
It is nice that they have day dishes and several vegan choices on the menu.
Last time, I had the salad. It came with a fried tofu skewer, it seemed just grilled regular tofu thus not so flavourful. The salad was okay, in contrary to other places, the plate was full and filling. Also the portion of leafy greens was nicely abundant.
My housemates had the house special of cheese minced meat (kaasgehakt), the tahoe, the sjasliek and mushroom pie. Everything seemed ok but not very impressive.
The coconut pie dessert was also quite heavy/fatty and not that flavourful

Good food, good cause - Edit
When in Nijmegen, I visit Cafe de Plak. The collective has been a steady place for activism for over 40 years. You really want to support this place!
Read moreThe food is really good (BIG salads, homemade burgers). The service is lovely. And the best thing is the coconut cream pie. Vegan and swell.

I took the vegan ‘kaasgehakt’, which was great. I had tasty rice and vegetables with it.

Genoten van de vegan kaasgehaktbal, veel verse groenten en lekkere dikke patat met vegan mayo. Een aanrader in het centrum van Nijmegen.

Not overwhelming but pretty good - Edit
Alternative café / restaurant offering a lot a vegan options. The food was good but nothing special or overwhelming. I liked the athmosphere of the place and the people / the collective running the place are very nice. Good vibes.

Mwah - Edit
Based on the reviews I expected more. I don't think the food is healthy. The tofu burger was fried and put on a soft white bun. A little bit of rucola around it and some salsa and jalapeños on the burger. The salsa didn't seem home made.
Read moreThe ambience in the cafe was okay and the waiter as well. Although he also took quite some time to smoke outside, leaving guests wait at the counter inside.
I think I'd rather pay a little bit more and eat really fresh, homemade food instead of this.

geweldig , gezellig en lekker !! - Edit
Wij komen hier graag eten , er staan altijd goede keuzes op het menu qua vegetarisch en veganistische.
Read moreVooral de vegan kaasgehakt heeft mijn voorkeur.
Ik vind hier iedereen altijd zeer vriendelijk en er hangt een gemakkelijk sfeer.
De prijzen zijn netjes en de kwaliteit vind ik perfect, alles vers en gezond en veel groen op je bord.
Er is maar een nadeel: het is meestal er druk dus soms moet je wachten op een plekje.
Pros: goede menu keuzes, relaxte sfeer, betaalbaar
Cons: druk

Teleurstellend. Onbeschoft - Edit
We zijn er om 10 voor 4. Om 5 over 4 komt medewerker naar buiten. Ik vraag om de kaasgehaktburger. Kan niet want het is 4 uur geweest. Ik zeg 5 over 4, ja dat is na 4 uur. Wat voor een eikel ben je dan. Je blijft eerst minuten lang binnen, komt na 4 uur naar buiten en dan wijs je op de tijd. En het was mooi weer dus binnen viel er niks te bedienen.

Cons: Onbeschoft

A slice of a slab - Edit
The fact that De Plak is ran collectively earns it two stars already. Another star for having made a step in the right direction (albeit the notion that dairy&eggs are somehow better, or resulting in less violation of someone's rights than flesh, is a deceptive one, to say the least). Of course, to my understanding, there has been a considerable backlash or rather swooping in of various trolls after their 'transition'. And it wasn't even a transition all the way.
Read moreI'm torn between giving 3 and 4 stars, because it feels odd giving above average rating to any place that turns direct results of animal exploitation into profit, even if it is a solidarity or charity-based enterprise. I shall, in the end, give it 3 stars based on my limited number of visits which were always nice on the human level, however, the food itself was slightly underwhelming, considering the hype. Or rather - not to the extent of being disappointing, but not above average, either.
It would get 4 stars if (either/or) was not serving animal products and the food would live up to its hype. And would get 5 stars if both of the above.
That's odd coming from a fella wearing one of their (awesome) t-shirts, right? Well, i've decided to step up my genuine honest ratings game and not succumb to the toxic positivity mentality.
Pros: the concept & idea behind it, authenic / genuine people

Affordable place for healthy food - Edit
I had the famous 'vegan kaasgehakt' and a vegan kokosroomtaart. Portions are big and superhealthy. I expected more from the 'vegan kaasgehakt' but It wasn't something special. I think the vegan cordon blue from the Albert Heijn is better. But it wasn't bad. Maybe my expectations were too high from the reviews. Nice terrace and located opposite of Bhalu. Usually about dinner time indoor seats are occupied but some people wait outdoor and ask to move indoor when a table is free. I stayed outdoor because it was a bit too overcrowded indoor. Because I saw that they had whiskey and vegan options (rare combination) I wanted a vegan Irish coffee but they didn't have vegan whipped cream, only dairy whipped cream. For the food itself it would give three starts but because of the excellent price/portion value an extra star. You don't leave hungry here.

Affordable food but nothing outstanding - Edit
Plenty of vegan options here! I would describe it as affordable "eetcafe" food: simple meals, great portions. Just don't expect too much of the food, it was alright but nothing special really. I had the tofu/tempeh main dish. It was fried and served with some sort of sweet ketjap sauce, cooked peas, sweet rice with cinnamon (a bit weird..) and two decent side salads. Staff, vibe and outside terrace were very nice!

Lekkere burgers - Edit
De burgers (kaasgehakt en currytofoe) zijn allebei erg lekker. Fijn plekje. Dat het café een collectieve opzet heeft en dat er een deel van de winst naar goede doelen gaat, zijn ook pluspunten wat mij betreft. Ik kom er graag nog eens.

De salade was lekker, maar het brood erbij was ronduit vies en de topping van pijnboompitten was wat overdadig. Mijn vriend was wel erg blij met zijn broodje kaasbal en frietjes

Worth 5 star 💚 - Edit
Ok, so they serve meat(bio) but they have the best vegan food, with lots of veggies, so they deserve 5 stars in my opinion. And the ambiance is one of the best in town! Also great party's here in non-corona times.
