Will definitely come back

I love the ambiente in the inside, staff is friendly and the kebab tasted exactly like gyros to me. I also liked that the dishes were different from the standards ones - not just burgers. Can't wait to try the breakfast!

Updated from previous review on 2021-08-09

Pros: Friendly Staff, Good food, Ambiente

Just incredible

Been to Happy food and health for lunch. That was a great idea! Lovely that they had vegan iced latte. We had pancakes and a focaccia with "döner", both were amazing!

Pros: Large variety of vegan options

You’re giving me enough hints for me to recognize who you are and yet....I’m sorry. Don’t know for sure. Can’t get the faces for me. And I’m almost certain you’re from Amsterdam. But we had this time so many guests from Amsterdam.
Doesn’t mean less we didn’t love your visit. Doesn’t mean less we are thankful for your review. And we hope to see you back again.
Again many thanks.

Best Coffee and gluten-free food of Rotterdam

I love the service food and especially the decaf coffee!!!!

ErolCetinkaya

07 Aug 2021

Me new neighbor. Just one coffee. And already addicted to this place. And we don’t blame you:):)
Even if you don’t have time for the coffee or the lunch, always a wave and a smile while walking by. Bringing not the joy just inside, also in front of the door and the terrace.
Thank youuuu 🌱👋🏻

How had I not been here before

I have definitely been living under a rock the last years, but still I was amazed that I had not yet heard of Happy Food and Health! The place looks amazing, a gazillion big plants and with the relaxed music in the background it was a perfect spot for a “lunch” of 4.5 hours. The food and drinks were all delicious, not the food you find in most restaurants but really original dishes and almost hard to believe it was all gluten-free and sugar free, so much flavour! The service is also great, friendly and they take their time for you, super nice owner. Definitely a new favourite restaurant in Rotterdam, highly recommended!

Pros: Amazing food, Wonderful atmosphere , Great service

ErolCetinkaya

07 Aug 2021

I don’t think it was a rock. It was just cause you where living on the other side of Rotterdam. But now you have find us, now you know this place is a gem, guess we will seeing you soon again.
And there is so much more you still wanna try from our card....
Thank you again for your visit and your review.
Take care 🌱

Best Vegan in Town

Honestly the best vegan restaurant in town. The food is made with fresh ingredients which you can definitely taste! It’s like eating back at grandma’s.

The decor of Happy Food and Health is simply brilliant, it gives you the feeling that you’re eating within an urban jungle which adds to the occasion.

The owners are here every day cooking with their hearts and souls to make sure that you can enjoy the best vegan food. Lots of love ❤️

Heerlijk eten, super gastheer -en vrouw!

Ik heb al een aantal keren hier gegeten en tot nu toe was het overheerlijk! Vegan Food kan ZO lekker zijn wanneer het op de juiste wijze wordt bereid. Dat is hier zeker aan de orde. Een absolute aanrader voor de veganist, maar zeer zeker ook voor de non-veganist! De ambiance is daarnaast ook geweldig. Alsmede de gastheer -en vrouw. Ik vind het altijd moeilijk een keuze te maken. De keuze laat ik daarom over aan hen. Ze hebben me geen enkele keer teleurgesteld!

Pros: Eten , Gastheer -en vrouw, Sfeer

Such a friendly place: a true safe haven for vegans. The interior is beautiful. I loved the great variation of dishes on the menu. A well formulated vision that I’d love to return to next time I’m in Rotterdam!

Pros: Everything was 100% vegan, Splendid service, The Rocky Road dessert – a must-try!

Delicious food, lovely interior

Completely vegan and gluten free restaurant with a lot of options. They also have baked goods (cookies, Rocky Road, cake) and healthier versions of soda (cherry cola, home made ice tea). The owner is super friendly, there's a good vibe. I definitely recommend this place for everyone, also when you're not vegan.

Pros: Everything is vegan & gluten free, Very nice and cozy interior , Delicious food, plenty of choice

Cons: Little bit expensive because it's gluten free

No, didnt recall that cause of the 4 rocky roads:)
It was surprising, it was fun and refreshing.
Hoped you enjoyed the moments in Rotterdam.
If one pf you, like she said maybe, moves over to Rotterdam, hope to see you all 4 back again one day. And if not, Rotterdam is still a hot spot to visit over and over again.
So...no excuses. See you all back:)
Thanks for the visit again and the review.

Best food and service ever!

When meeting the chef the vibe instantly was perfect. He helped us find the food we were looking for, gave us the best advice ever and his knowledge about the products in his kitchen was top-notch. He listened very carefully and asked a lot of questions which enabled him to present to us exactly what we were looking for. It just seemed like everything was possible at his store. These are humble people trying their best and they are able to deliver! We will come back many times and wish him many customers enabling them to keep spreading the love for food they holds so dearly.

Pros: The food, The ambiance, The hospitality

Cons: Not one thing, really., It was that good!

Hi Mark,
My humble thanks for the many kind words.
It's our job to make everything possible to everyone.
Seeing no happy faces it's just not acceptable.
And....the Hague is not far. Lucky us....and guess lucky you also, you have many friends here around.
Next time when you're both back we will keep in mind:
Latte Machiato extra 'milk'. A Cappuccino.
No soy for you. No avocado fot the lady;)
We won't forget.
