The 10 best vegetarian restaurants in Rotterdam

Uit Je Eigen Stad

‘Uit Je Eigen Stad’ (translation: from your own city) is an initiative that has made locals aware of local and fresh food since 2012. This restaurant has a town farm where you can have lunch and dinner, and another location at Rotterdam Central Station. Although the complete menu isn’t solely vegetarian, you have more than enough options as a vegetarian. For example, choose the ‘Salad Uit Je Eigen Stad’, with delicious seasonal vegetables, or the soup of the day. The dishes are on the pricey side, but keep in mind that you’re supporting local entrepreneurs.

Address: Marconistraat 39 and at the central station: Proveniensplein 24-a

 

SUE Store

SUE is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Rotterdam center where you can taste the special and tasty treats made entirely without sugar. Also for a breakfast or an extensive lunch this is a perfect place. The menu is not only vegetarian and vegan, but also gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free and raw. I definitely recommended this place for a responsible, tasty and affordable meal. Also, try one of their “bites”, absolutely delicious!

Gare du Nord is a biological restaurant in Rotterdam that is highly loved by vegetarians and vegans. It’s probably the most famous vegetarian restaurant in Rotterdam and because it’s located in an old train wagon, a dinner here is a special experience.

The Markthal

The Market Hall (Markthal) in Rotterdam is not one restaurant, but a special experience that you shouldn’t miss while visiting Rotterdam. You can get a variety of fresh groceries at the Markthal, but there are also many restaurants where you can enjoy delicious and vegetarian food in various price ranges. You will find Jamie’s Italian, Le Souq and Firma Pickles for example. When heading to Firma Pickles, I recommend to take the New Zealand Kumera Burger, a veggie burger made out of sweet potato.

Restaurant GYS

GYS is a organic restaurant in Rotterdam where you can enjoy snacks and drinks prepared with local products as much as possible.

For example, try the vegetarian ‘kapsalon’ or the black bean carrot burger. Although the sandwiches and desserts are sometimes on the more expensive side, you can order a delicious main course at GYS for a nice price.
