Fantastic vegan meal that doesn’t make you yearn for cheese and makes you go home with a full belly.

Great

Had a delicious Bahn Mi sandwich and good cappuccino’s. Although the sandwich itself would even have been better if it had been a sourdough, I give 5 stars.

Pros: Good food, Menu to come back for, Relax atmosphere

A Summer must-visit

I went here for lunch today and had an amazing experience. The waiter was very kind and immediately brought out a water bowl for Saar🦮. The kitchen still made me pancakes even though it was already past noon. My sister got the oyster mushroom kroketten without mayo. Both were very good, the pancakes might’ve been the best I’ve had. We also loved the rose lemonade and dirty chai, but it would’ve been nice to have more plantbased milk options. I am not completely sure why the recently opened location in Amersfoort has a bigger menu though as the one in Utrecht has limited options. The furniture and decoration are pretty and unique and the outdoor seating space is also very cosy even though it is adjacent to the street. I would definitely recommend going here for lunch this summer if you’re looking for chill vibes and nice food.

Pros: Friendly staff, Limited but delicious options.

Cons: They only serve oat milk.

Great spot for breakfast/brunch!

Really cute ambience and friendly waitstaff! Ordered the pancakes and shakshuka -- both were delicious and somewhat unique. Would recommend!

Nice but too much fuss about it

Nice place to go and have an easy lunch, but that’s it. It’s not like you can compare it to Kasvio or The Nieuwe Winkel. I had the croquettes with bread and a cappuccino.

Pros: All vegan , Close to train station

One of my favourites for lunch

I love the atmosphere: it’s relaxed and offers a natural feel due to the wood and plants. The staff is very nice as well, although they sometimes make mistakes. However, never anything serious and always solved well.

Some foods I love are banana bread (with vegan butter and chutney), Broei burger, loaded fries, shakshuka and sandwiches with ‘egg’ salad and with tempeh sateh. They also have a nice cinnamon roll (by Lavett), ‘boterkoek’ (with a hint of ginger), lemon/pistachio shortbread, fried dumplings and many homemade drinks (kombucha, smoothie, lemonade, ice-tea, Chai latte and hot cocoa). They offer some decent pies by Life’s a peach as well, e.g. cheesecake and pear tarte.
They sometimes also have lunch items that barely contain a protein source, which is a pity.

Please check my pics for reviews per item.

Fijne sfeer en lekker eten

Hebben hier goed geluncht. Kwaliteit van het eten is goed en ze hebben leuke gerechten op de kaart staan. Ik had de shakshuka. Was erg lekker maar portie had iets groter gekund. Aardig personeel alleen jammer dat ze nadat het eten geserveerd was ons niet meer zagen zitten. Het was wel druk maar was fijn geweest als iemand nog even langs was geweest voor nog een rondje drinken. Gevraagd om de rekening maar die vergat men ook. Anders was het perfect geweest.

Lekkere lunch

Lekker geluncht in een sfeervolle omgeving. Ruim terras en ook binnen genoeg zitplaatsen. We hadden gereserveerd om zeker te zijn van een plekje. Genoeg keuze op de menukaart. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

Heerlijk geluncht

Broei zit op een leuke plek met uitzicht over het water. We konden kiezen tussen het terras of binnen bij de opengeslagen deur. Ik heb er een heerlijk tijd doorgebracht en genoten van koffie, lunch en vriendelijke mensen. De lunch was goed van smaak en vullend. De bitterballen van paddestoelen die we erbij hadden waren ook verrukkelijk. Prijs/kwaliteit vond ik prima. Het duurde vrij lang voor het eten kwam, daar waren we van te voren over ingelicht. Voor ons niet erg. Parkeren in de buurt is helaas wel erg duur.

Pros: Shakshuka, Koffie, Plekje aan water

Broei-tastic burger!

Super friendly service and the food & drinks were great!!

I had the Broei Burger with fries & my girlfriend had the Bahn 'Broei' Mi sandwich.
OMG! They were amazing!

Pros: Nice location at the water side, Friendly people

Panfakes

I ordered pancakes, which includes fresh fruit, spiced syrup, pecans, and coconut cream. I expected traditional Dutch pancakes, but they were fluffy like American pancakes. I enjoyed them, but I wanted to try the Dutch variety. The pecans were difficult to eat since they were crushed. There were also pecans in the cinnamon bun, which was delicious.

Warning: It took a long time just to order since there was only one server, and they were also making drinks.

Pros: all vegan, outdoor seating

Cons: understaffed

Nice but not blown away

All dishes sounded creative, I liked the concept of them, but the flavours sometimes lacked depth and were not very surprising. Some veggies were not prepared appropriately, i.e. very chewy overcooked pak choi and hard undercooked mushroom stem.
We did like the relaxed atmosphere and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Incredible 3 course dinner, great breakfast

The dinner is definitely the highlight of Broei. We had a wonderful evening here and three courses were not that expensive with 32,50€.

Breakfast is also really delicous, although the coffee was not the best. But you cant be good at everything😄But the pankakes definitely were!

Pros: Great Dinner, Fairly priced, Delicous pankakes

Cons: Coffee was not the best

great little spot for a nice lunch!

here you are spoilt for choice! really great options for lunch - I had the "egg salad" sandwich which came with oyster mushroom "bacon" which was absolutely delicious. my friend had the tofu shakshuka and really enjoyed it too - also with the option to get a small soup for start for only €3 more, which was a sauerkraut soup which they made completely in-house, including the fermentation! they also make their own kombucha. the atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice, the service is fast and the wait staff are really kind. I would recommend this place very highly!

Pros: very nice food, great atmosphere and pretty location , great service!

Highly recommended

Very nice and cozy place. Delicious food that’s more special than how you’d make it at home. Menu changes every few months.

For dinner you can choose between a three, four or five-course menu with two options per course.

Pros: Delicious , Different than usual

Amazing vegan lunch and original menu

Finally tried out Broei and the location I never passed by is actually easily accesible as it's just next to Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn station.

The setting, including the outdoor terrace, is very cosy and hip. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

Around noon you can choose for breakfast, brunch or lunch options. Vegan is clearly labeled and extra offers are written on a board. First I ordered a vegan chai latte but as it was not really tasty I didn't want to get my hopes up for the food. Additionally the vegan options felt limited as there was no vegan warm dish. Luckily because it made me explore the sandwishes and endulge the jackfruit sandwish. Also the crunchy chocolate dessert was delicious.

Update 2024:
We went for the 4 course meal. Each course had 2 options so we tried out all and shared the plates. Luckily because each round I had a clear favourite.
For starter that was the beet, then the soup, as a main the pumpkin and the apple dessert.
Service was very attentive, friendly and fast.

A cure to rainy October day

The soup was delicious and the Caesar salad was good and surprising with the oyster mushroom "bacon". I noted there are many desserts but I could no more indulge. They also brew their own Kombucha.
