BACKYARD

As a Rotterdam tour guide I was happily surprised by this all-vegan lunchroom in the city center. The food was pretty good, fairly priced and that staff was kind as well. Though, I am strongly against the trend where the menus are English only (so not in native Dutch). My nephews needed translation help, while they're in their home city. Which is ridiculous in my opinion..

The breakfast itself was really good — especially the plant-based options, fresh and nicely presented. The place is clean and tidy, but the service was very slow; at one point people were even shouting to get the staff’s attention. Outdoor seating is available, though not very cozy, and the overall vibe isn’t particularly kids-friendly. Great food, but the atmosphere and service leave room for improvement.

I've been here a few times and they've mostly been pleasant experiences. The service is fine and relatively swift. The menu is diverse and caters to the fried, boiled, cooked, grilled and raw food eaters. The quality and freshness of the ingredients is good and the dishes are proportioned well and taste nice. The drinks are made well and as yet I've tried the hulk smoothie and some others and they've been on point. Prices are fine and I'll visit them again soon.

If you are vegetarian of vegan, you should definitely visit this place. Some of the dishes are really good and some are just okay. Their sweet potato fries and the fried chicken pea starter are really good. Kimchi burger and spring rolls were okay… but a very solid place to go to and enjoy food with your friends.

After a full day, we opted for the 3-course menu and made the perfect choice! We wanted to have some peace and quiet, enjoy our meal and recover from the stressful day, which worked out 1 to 1! The restaurant was almost empty as most people were upstairs (a creative workshop was taking place there), which worked in our favour. We decided to go for the respective courses and I have to be honest, the starters blew me away! The hummus was just perfect and looking at someone else's order I could tell that the portions outside of the course menu were huge! I was more than full after the smaller portion! The burgers were also very tasty, as were the desserts! The service was very nice and attentive and we had a great time there! Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy good vegan food!
