Nice

The food is good and I love that there were more than one vegan option. The prices are really high tho and the portions not that big as I thought for this price.

Limited vegan options

Located in the heart of Maastricht, you can find this little cafe.

I went there during lunchtime and the vegan options were very limited. There are maybe 2 vegan options which is not nearly enough in my opinion.

I got the vegan lunch duo which consist of soup, bread and vegan croquette. It was okay but nothing special.

I suggest going during dinner time because you’ll have more vegan options to choose from ( like fish & chips etc…)

Friendly and helpful staff and very fast service.
Prices are a bit expensive for what you get though.

Good portions

In my experience in the Netherlands comparing to Germany, normally I expect that less food is served. But this one stands out and a main dish without staters would be more than enough for me.
The food was very good, restaurant is very central and cozy (outdoors or indoors seatings).

Heerlijk vegan gegeten in hartje Maastricht!

Een gezellige plek, waar je prima plantaardig kan eten. De vegan optie, was weer eens een keer wat anders.

Local

Heerlijk gezeten. Super gezellige locatie en ze hebben een hele mooie kaart. Redelijk veel vegatarische opties en een paar vegan opties.
Ik had de typische maastrichtse stoofpot, maar dan uiteraard vegan en als toetje een “apple crumble”.

Heb echt zitten smikkelen!

Leuke bediening die je graag helpt met je dieetwensen.

Als con (moeten toch helaas altijd ook kritisch blijven ;)); er waren geen symbooltjes voor vegan gerechten, dus alleen de vega gerechten. Maar goed. Gelukkig staat er over het algemeen wel “vegan” in de titel en spreekt het anders wel voor zich.

Pros: Origineel & traditioneel gerecht, Vegan mayonaise 😃, Vegan toetje

Cons: Symbooltje ontbreekt nog voor vegan

Vegan friendly

They have some vegan options (labelled), which are quite unusual. I had a "Lunchduo" which was a soup with a piece of bread and a croquette and it was OK. Very good, centric location.

Loved Local

Really enjoyed Local. The croquettes are extremely good, amazing crunch and loved the flavour. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going back. Dog friendly.
Update: Went back for dinner a couple of days later and still loved it. Tried the vegan Zoervleis, a Limburg dish, which was unusual but very enjoyable. Had a great evening. Highly recommend.

Vegan 'zoervleis', traditional meal

They served vegan fish and chips and vegan 'zoervleis' ('sour meat') which is a traditional meal in the region. I had the latter and I liked it! Nice to have tasted this, apparently it's a spiced stew. They also had vegan apple crumble as a dessert option.

Great vegan fish & chips and zoervleis

They only had 2 vegan main courses and some vegan snacks, although they were not clearly marked (only vegetarian markings).

The vegan fish & chips tasted like fish and the zoervleis had some cardamon and cinnamon in it and a slighty sour taste. Unfortunately, they didn’t have vegan desserts.

Delicious

I have never had such a good vegan meal in a non-vegan restaurant tbh.
Two options for the main and two for the starter and apetizer. Totally worth it. It's a real vegan option not a try. The vegan dessert is amazing. The portions are of good size !


Clear mushroom soup (omd delicious)
Vegan stew (don't remember the real name though)

Updated from previous review on 2022-12-18

Vegan local food

They have two main vegan dishes, but those were pretty good. Although, the food was very expensive and the vegan fish didn't taste that special tbh

Tasty "fish" and chips

We went to "Local" because we wanted to taste some "Dutch food". We took "fish and chips" since we didn't see other vegan option on the menu (we didn't ask to make vegetarian's plates into vegan's ones, maybe this is possible). Fish and chips was delicious though!

Pros: Tasty food, Nice "pub" with a cute terrace

Cons: Not many vegan options

Nice lunch on terrace, double check the sauces!

Lovely location, with view at the city hall and a small terrace in front. A couple of vegan listed options.

Had the vegan nachos as borrelhap. A HUGE portion!! I could have easily just had this as lunch!
The white sauce in a seperate bowl from the nachos really tasted like dairy though. We asked the waiter whether it was vegan and after having went to the kitchen he came back with a mayo sauce that was said to be vegan and apologised for the mistake.

As main dishes we had the Zoervleis (a sort of sweet stew in brown sauce) and the 'fish and chips'.
The 'Zoervleis' is listed as vega (vegetarian) on the menu, but was said to be vegan. Was OK.
Nice salad on the side. But it did contain a white dressing, so after the mistake earlier, did make us doubt whether this was vegan?

The 'Fish' is a breaded filet. Lots of fries and a salad.

We had a nice lunch, relaxed on the terrace. Friendly service. Nice to see some other vegan options than the burgers, sweet potato fries or quinia/avocado salads which are more common.

Interior is not accessible and toilets are upstairs, via a very steep and turning set of stairs.

On the expensive side

Pros: Original vegan options: zoervlees, fish n chips

Cons: Mix up sauces - non vegan, Not accessible , Rather expensive (tourist hotspot)

Tasty Dutch vegan food

While the menu doesn’t have a huge selection of vegan options, we appreciate when restaurants offer local cuisine with a vegan twist. The soup and croquet were tasty and the bitterballen portion was bigger than expected.

The terrace is pretty crowded during lunch time so arrive early.

Vegan zoervleis

I did go there to try the vegan zoervleis. It was good but I think I don't like zoervleis 😂 Other than that it is a nice place with a nice view. Oh, and I tried the nonalcoholic Hugo, the syrup tasted really sweet and artificial.
