Wasn’t blown away

Reading other reviews I was looking forward to this place but my friend and I were left underwhelmed and not really impressed. Bland and oily.

Great Food!

Amazing food! Lots of options and friendly staff. Run by owner which is always cool to be served by himself. Very tasty! Look in the photos for pics of the menu as it is slightly different than most restaurants but absolutely worth trying!

Best Food I had in Haarlem

I decided to check out this cute restaurant, When I visited Haarlem and I definitely didn't regret it! They have some great stews and Currys and I can also really recommend the chickpea chips and their Vegan Mayo. I also had a brownie for dessert which was really nice especially for chocolate fans like me😄the owner is also very friendly and we had a nice conversation.

Pros: Fully vegan, , Local restaurant, Healthy but delicious food

Delicious & unique!

Best food I had whilst visiting Haarlem/Amsterdam. Really hearty, healthy & delicious stews. The owner is also super friendly; he recommended that we try the chickpea fries and we were so glad he did because they are amazing!! We sat in the garden area to eat which had a lovely atmosphere. I will definitely be back when visiting the area again :)

Pros: Fully Vegan!

Delicious Curry!

I had this Red Thai Curry with rice which was very tasty. As a side dish I also ordered the chickpea fries and they are the best! All delivered by thuisbezorgd, so good.

Delicious Vegan Food

I had a Jamaican Curry and a Dessert. Both had great flavours and were delicious! Great to have a go-to place to go in Haarlem for Vegan food :)

Only thing I wasn't so much a fan of, is that they pride themselves on being eco-friendly with their packaging and utensils and yet when you are dining in the restaurant, they still serve you with single-use items. Also, the pricing for a rice serving is a little high.

Pros: Vegan, Delicious!

Cons: Single use packaging for in-restaurant dining

Lovely meal

I had one of the deals with two curries, which were spicy (as described!), colorful and flavorful. There are options available which are less spicy. Great friendly staff and cozy garden to sit and eat in. Will be back.

Delicious curries

The meals are so tasty. I had the eggplant curry which had a rich flavour and was slightly spicy. Perfect for those who do not enjoy anything too spicy. The people who work here are also super friendly.

Pros: Everything is packed in paper, not plastic!, Everything is vegan, of course., You can buy the ingredients they use.

Cons: The eat-in could be somewhat cosier.

Great food

Nice place that does delivery and take out, but there's also plenty of space inside and outside to eat there. They also have home-made vegan cheeses, curry pastes and sauces.

Actually, they could add more tables and make it more of a restaurant or foodcafé style place because it's huge, but for some reason they chose not too. It lacks a little in atmosphere now when you eat the food there, as they don't have places but serve it in the takeout boxes. Very friendly people though.

I thought the food was quite good, super tasty and not stuff that every other place also has. I'd gladly have it again! Seems like their menu changes regularly too.

Prices were a bit on the higher side for takeout, but not too bad, you also get generous portions.

Also everything was vegan, except on out of 8 sauces... But it was very clearly indicated on the menu. Could very very easily be converted to a total animal-product-free place, but I guess they prefer not too?

Pros: Great food, Very friendly

Cons: Could be nicer to eat inside, maybe offer plates?

Veggie street food style café with vegan options

I visited with a colleague on a work trip and we wanted somewhere affordable and where I knew my lactose free and her gluten free needs would be met. VanVeg did just that. It's a take away café with tables available for customers to eat their food. There were five box options to choose from. I had coconut rice with daal and aloo gobi. My colleague had the Chef's Surprise box, which had some Dutch specialities including a vegetarian bitterbollen with mushrooms and satay. The portions were generous and the food really tasty and filling. The staff were friendly and helpful, and explained that it wasn't a restaurant. It's similar to a café where you order at the counter. There's no fuss, just delicious veggie food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Pros: affordable, tasty, relaxed

Absolutely LOVE VanVeg!

VanVeg is literally my favourite vegan/vegetarian restaurant in the world. Their food is gorgeously spiced, their menu is full of options and really reasonably priced, and I can't even tell you how good their desserts are. We bought a jar of dessert there and took several home with us for the rest of our trip. The owners are so lovely and friendly and so is their dog Nina! Great location, great open air eating area, love everything about it. Every time we go to Amsterdam we'll take a special train ride back to this little gem.

Pros: lots of vegan options, delicious vegan desserts, b

Cons: Only that my belly isn't big enough to eat the who

could be much better

The menu is quite creative but the execution is somewhat lacking. The fried food offering is good if that 's what you want. The fries were great. But I feel this is a missed opportunity. There is no atmosphere in the place. Whereas it could be a nice cafe. Bad choice of layout and design. But at least I have a good reason to open my own place.

Pros: chick pea fries and hot chilli sauce

Cons: totally useless as a place to go if you want a nic

vette hap

Zo'n beetje alles komt uit de frituur of is doodgekookt. De combinaties zijn wel leuk en origineel.

Pros: leuke en aardige bediening/eigenaar

Cons: ongezond

Hoi Chantal,
bedankt voor je review, en wat jammer dat je het indruk hebt gekregen dat bij ons bijna alles uit de frituur komt of ongezond is. We proberen altijd voor iedereen wat wils op de kaart te hebben. Het klopt, dat er bij ons veel uit de frituur wordt besteld (Bierbar 't Uiltje is tegenover ons in de Zijlstraat en er worden graag snacks bij het bier besteld), maar we letten er op, dat er altijd minimaal driekwart van onze kaart niet gefrituurd wordt en er gevariëerd aanbod van peulvruchten, verse groenten, rijst en salades op de kaart staat.
Onze kaart is op facebook of onze eigen website te vinden.
Hopelijk mogen we je binnenkort nog een keertje bij ons verwelkomen en je een andere kant van onze keuken laten proeven!
Met hartelijke groeten,
vanVeg

Friendly owners and the food was delicious

Stopped by there by bike. Didn't know if it was open so I've asked. The lady owner was nice and explained me that I could'nt have fried food 'cause they just cleaned the machine.

The Spanish Haarlem Box (12.50euros) was very good, all the veggies and the ratatouille sauce and the tortilla were perfect!! Everything was made really quickly and I enjoyed eating outside in the street .

Also tried their Vegan Choco Delice (3.95euros) and I loved it. The caramel was a hit! My non vegan partner said he loved it too except the chocolate cake at the end.

Pros: support vegan in Haarlem!, friendly owners, delicious food

Cons: none

Almost completely vegan, go vegan!

Expensive but totally worth it. I was told that everything is vegan, but first I got the lacto-ovo dressing... That was strange. I don't like the idea of having throwaway cutlery, plates and cups... Why!? I ordern the orange mix... It was good but I would like to have something green on the plate.

Pros: Almost everything is vegan , Big portions if you order the mix box, Nice and friendly staff

Cons: Plastic cutlery and and cardboard cup and plates. , Expensive

Top rated by local newspaper

The culinairy reviewers of the local newspaper visited this favourite place of mine three times and rated them with 8 points (out of 10). So these critical meatlovers really, really enjoyed the vegan food. A big achievement for the nice people at VanVeg. Congrats!

De culinair recensisten van Haarlems Dagblad bezochten VanVeg drie keer en gaven het cijfer 8. Een flinke prestatie voor de vriendelijke mensen van VanVeg om ook deze kritische vleesliefhebbers zo te kunnen laten genieten van Veganistisch eten!

Updated from previous review on 2017-03-11

Pros: 100% Vegan / Veganistisch, Meatloving friends will like it too, Vleesetende vrienden lusten dit ook

Cons: Mostly takeaway, one large table in the back, Vooral afhalen, één grote tafel achteraan
