Spirit Rotterdam

Vegetarian buffet, guilt-free, tasty food

Irina from Rotterdam

About me I love Rotterdam! I have been an active member of Couchsurfing for 10 years so the passion for sharing local insider knowledge about the cities that are my home is very alive in me. I have a blog where I write about my experience as an expat in The Netherlands, I organise events to create connection within communities.

"At "Spirit" in Rotterdam, you love the food and the food loves you. I love the vegetarian buffet, and everything is 100% organic! Pay by weight."

At Spirit you love the food and the food loves you. The reason for that are the tastes, textures and smells that you experience here and it's guilt-free pleasure.

Everything here is guaranteed 100% organic and 100% vegetarian, made using seasonal ingredients.

This canteen is the favourite place of those who don't want to wait - you arrive and the food is already served. Just grab a plate and help yourself.

You will see dishes like hearty vegetable stew, baked brown rice with vegetables, seitan burgers, rich soups, creatively put together sauces, fresh daring salads and even pastry for your sweet tooth. My absolute favourite is the crispy tofu - it's from another planet - insanely delicious and crunchy.

The concept is that you put everything you like on a plate, then it gets weighed and you can still order a drink.

You can consume all this goodness outside on the spacious terrace or inside, either on the first or second floor.

Next door there is a shop with everything a vegetarian or even vegan dreams about - it is called Gimsel the organic shop, and you want to check it out.

About me I love Rotterdam! I have been an active member of Couchsurfing for 10 years so the passion for sharing local insider knowledge about the cities that are my home is very alive in me. I have a blog where I write about my experience as an expat in The Netherlands, I organise events to create connection within communities. I know all the nice events that someone coming to Rotterdam should not miss. I also like to explore less popular areas of the city and make them more visible to travellers. I regularly show the city to friends visiting. Whenever I go into the city, I try to see it...
