• Hoog Catharijne - The tour begins with an inspiring tale of transformation. Once a concrete jungle, this mall now stands as a beacon of Utrecht’s urban renewal. Previously a cold, grey transit area, it has transformed into one of the most frequented indoor shopping centers in the Netherlands, where innovative ideas flourish. This location serves as a reflection on how spaces, much like diets, can evolve. Just as cities become greener and more welcoming, so too can our food systems. From here, the journey into the city begins with fresh perspectives and eager appetites.
• Little World Kitchen @ De Conciërge - This charming, vibrant spot brings together flavors from around the world in one small kitchen. Managed by a passionate entrepreneur who began in India, Little World Kitchen demonstrates that plant-based cuisine can be soulful, spicy, and deeply satisfying. Each dish is homemade, rich with herbs and spices, and tells a personal story. Guests will sample dishes inspired by traditional recipes, reimagined without animal products but full of heart. This is comfort food, driven by culture and compassion.
• Za’atar - With two locations in Utrecht, Za’atar introduces the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine to a modern, plant-focused audience. The owners aim to show that hummus, falafel, and tabbouleh are not only delicious but also a celebration of simplicity and sustainability. At both venues, guests will experience the warmth of Levantine hospitality and learn how this family-run business is creating a space for honest, flavorful, and mostly plant-based food in the city center. Expect vibrant flavors and inspiring stories.
• Oproer Biercafé - This stop is all about rebellion and reinvention. Oproer is more than a craft beer café – it’s a statement. Located in a former industrial space in Utrecht Overvecht, Oproer brews bold beers and serves 100% plant-based food. The owners blend activism, taste, and innovation in everything they do. Guests will enjoy a surprising bar snack and hear how Oproer is transforming a neighborhood café into a platform for change, where great beer, sustainable choices, and punk ideals coexist.
• Karma Kebab | Utrecht - Forget what you know about late-night kebab shops. Karma Kebab is a revolution in a wrap. Their signature product is crafted from Dutch-grown vegetables and grains, bursting with flavor and cooked on a spit, just like the original. But without the meat, the mess, or the macho. In a lively, festival-style setting, guests will share a bite and delve into their story: how they turned a joke into a startup, and a startup into a movement. Karma Kebab proves that plant-based food can be cool, fast, and incredibly satisfying.
• Restaurant Kasvio - One of Utrecht’s best-kept secrets, Kasvio is a fine dining plant-based restaurant with a forager’s soul. Here, vegetables are the stars – locally sourced, beautifully plated, and often handpicked. The chefs at Kasvio are on a mission to prove that plant-based can be gourmet, and that sustainability and elegance can go hand in hand. Guests will taste a refined amuse-bouche and learn about their dedication to local sourcing, wild ingredients, and seasonal flavors. This is next-level vegan dining.
• Veg Nation - The tour concludes at Veg Nation, a modern Indian restaurant that reimagines the country’s rich vegetarian traditions in a 100% plant-based format. Here, spices take center stage and hospitality is at the heart of every dish. Guests will sample a plate inspired by South Indian cuisine – aromatic, warming, and deeply satisfying. As they enjoy the flavors, they’ll discover how Indian food culture has always celebrated plants, long before veganism became a trend. A fragrant, nourishing finale to a day full of stories and discoveries.
