Definitely worth a visit! - Edit
I’ve been to this buffet restaurant many times. They serve a yummy, healthy, plant-based, organic rich variety of delicious food you can choose from. It’s a very nice concept, which sometimes makes it a little difficult to make your choices. Everything looks and tastes great what makes it hard to limit yourself. You learn that quickly when you come to the checkout and discover that paying for the weight requires some discipline… It’s a popular place and thus often crowded and noisy. The disadvantage of the buffert formula, especially when it is busy, is that there is a lot of walking back and forth. But it is a popular place for a reason: a wide choice of good and healthy food.

Amazing food! Must visit - Edit
Buffet-style restaurant offering a wide variety of delicious vegetarian/vegan options! My personal favorites are the tempeh dishes and the fresh, flavorful salads. What I love about this place is its versatility—you can enjoy a meal here solo for lunch or dinner, but it’s equally great for eating with friends or family. Oh and don't skip dessert. The chocolate mousse is great!

Buffet breakfast - Edit
Nice buffet with vegetarian and vegan food, but nothing very special. I found the food rather off cafetaria style.

Vegan /Vegeterian Buffet - Edit
The majority of the buffet is vegan (80-90%), the rest is completely vegetarian! You take whatever you like from the selections and pay what your plate weighs. I really like the concept and the place. There are quite good options for breakfast, brunch, lunch. From sweets to salads, from soups to meals from bread to snack and drinks. Though, it can be a bit pricey.

Geweldig concept - Edit
Eerder al eens afgehaald bij Spirit en nu in huis blijven eten. Huiselijke, chille sfeer. Erg leuk concept. Je kan zelf je eten opscheppen en bij de kassa wordt het eten afgewogen en reken je af per gewicht. Ook een leuke plek om te werken of informeel te vergaderen met collega's.

The desserts are worth going back for! - Edit
Since going vegan (six years ago) I was never able to find a good tiramisù alternative. Well, until now! The flavour and the consistency were 💯!
Read moreThe chocolate cake actually stole the show!
The overall food was great too! But I forgot to take a decent picture of the plate. I wanted to try as much as possible from the buffet. The food was great, but I would definitely go back for the dessert and the seitan steak!
Pros: Chocolate cake, Tiramisù, Seitan stake
Cons: Seitan burger, Quinoa salade

Nice buffet restaurant with amazing choice of dishes, all with clear ingredient list. Really appreciated the variety, their vegan cakes are also delicious. The interior is loud and crowded, more canteen style.

My go to lunch restaurant in Roffa - Edit
The food is delicious. Every meal has so much flavor, it's insane. My favorite dishes are the feta salad, chocolate mousse, potato salad and jalapeno balls. I love the chill, lowkey vibe in the restaurant. 💖

Very good 😊 - Edit
We have been twice to the restaurant as it has a great selection of vegan food and is insanely delicious. Friendly staff and a very nice restaurant. The only downside, as my boyfriend already wrote, is that the staff member mopped the floor and didn't put up a sign. When I was coming down the stairs, I rode on my 🍑 to the bottom. Thank God it was a lucky fall and I didn't break anything. But the unpleasant residue remained, the girl at the checkout gave us a biscuit as an apology. That was really nice.

Nice buffet - Edit
Spirit is a really nice spot if you like a wide choice of foods. Most of the food is vegan and well declared. The taste of the food was good and there is something for everybody.
Read moreThe prices are okay, I'm just not sure if they are rounding up the grams of small portions.
The only negative thing was that my girlfriend fell from the stairs which were wet (because of cleaning) and not marked with a sign..
Pros: Wide choice, Many vegan options, Tasty desserts

Spirit offers a various buffet with lots of different tastes and textures. Plate on photo was €13,60.
Read moreVisited Spirit on the day of the Rotterdam Marathon, place was packed. Restaurant will be more peaceful on other days of the year I guess 😜. A grocery shop with many organic and bio products is located next to the restaurant and is worth a visit.

Got a little bit of everything - Edit
We grabbed a plate and were able to put a few bites of each vegan option plus a bowl of the vegan dessert options from the buffet table. The cost was about $20 which we found mostly fair. Everything was tasty, and it was a good variety ranging from fresh salads to tempura to "meaty" dishes. The desserts in the case looked good as well but sadly we didn't try.

Best Vegan Restaurant for Years! - Edit

Great food and loads of varieties - Edit
Spirit is a buffet-style restaurant where you pay for the weight of your food, rather than for separate meals. The food is very varied and it's very clear which offers are vegan (I'd say 80-90% of the entire buffet is vegan). All options are delicious and there's the possibility to fill a take-out container if you don't have time to dine in.
Read morePros: Pretty much everything is vegan, Loads of options, Great taste

Spirit is located in a small sustainability friendly mall and is open quite long. If you take food away it’s cheaper and the staff is friendly. You pay the weight and the buffet has a nice variety.
