Surprisingly amazing - Edit
Espresso Martini 0.0% 9,50€
Read moreBrood Gezond 11,95€
Boterkoek 4,25€
I went there at 12 for lunch, one of three tables. After I ordered the terrace got FULL, I'm glad I arrived so perfectly.
The waiters are super kind and the service is quick. I didn't have any expectations for some slices of bread, but what I got almost knocked me out my chair!
I've never seen a mocktail espresso martini so I had just had to get it, the first few sips were amazing but it gets sickly sweet pretty quick. But awesome experience!!
The bread - wow. Crispy crust, unbelievable soft inside, and all the toppings starting from the amazing selfmade ham over to the parmesan match SO well. Every bite is a pleasure.
The boterkoek, I only got to experience something traditionally dutch. Personally I found it too dry and not really tasty, but I guess that means I don't like the dessert in general. Not their fault.
Overall this was an amazing lunch and I would come back any time, maybe even try breakfast or dinner.

Still a great place - Edit
This branch of Broei is still fully plant-based (since 2022). The staff is nice and I love the atmosphere. It’s usually busy though. The early mornings tend to be more quiet.
Read moreDishes I love are Broei burger (depending on the recipe), loaded fries, shakshuka, fried dumplings and sandwiches with ‘egg’ salad, ‘tuna’ salad and tempeh sateh.
Also nice are banana bread with chutney, cinnamon roll (by Lavett), ‘boterkoek’ and lemon/pistachio shortbread. They offer some decent pies by Life’s a peach as well, e.g. apple/caramel pie, pear tarte and apricot tarte.
Please check my pictures for reviews per item.

Amazing Broei - Edit
We visited Broei on a daily basis during our four day stay in Utrecht and worked ourselves through the different dishes. Our favorite thing was their bread which they serve with different toppings (for example delicious carrot salmon) or alongside soup, humus etc. In addition the coffee is great.

Used to be better, but still lovely vibe! - Edit
Dinner is too expensive in my opinion. Plus, the coffee and their sweets are less good as it was before. Used to be one of my favorites, but now I visit less regularly.
Read more--
I visit this restaurant almost every week because the atmosphere is always relaxed. Most of the time for coffee and a sweet. My favorites are the Cinnamon bun, 'boterkoek', homemade cookie and the rhubarb crumble. They also have a delicious Chai latte and hot chocolate.
They change the menu for dinner regularly. The dishes are always delicious and have a lot of flavour. Most of the dishes are based on a vegetable.
They have a lot of homemade drinks, like kombucha, ice tea, Iranian limonade etc.

Used to be my favorite - Edit
Broei used to be my favorite spot in Utrecht for a morning coffee as well as for their dinners. However, as of late I've been slightly disappointed by some changes. In my opinion, the coffee here used to be way better than it is now. It's not worth it anymore to come here for coffee and something sweet, there are better spots in Utrecht for that (e.g. Kluts and lifes a peach).
Read moreWhen it comes to dinner, the quality is still high (although the dessert this time around was really disappointing) but the prices have gone way up. We used to able to have dinner here with the two of us for around 80 euros easily (we never order a lot of drinks so our restaurant bills are usually on the lower side). However, now it's almost a given to spend around at least 100 euros for 2. If you like to order a couple of drinks each, you are going to pay (well) over 100. For us, that's not really worth it.
Staff is always very friendly and chill. Love the atmosphere. We have been here countless times. Lunch is good and the 4/5 course menus are always surprising, creative and tasty. Just not worth the money anymore if you'd ask me.

Super tasty sandwiches - Edit
We tried the 'wortelzalm' and 'carbonara ' sandwich. Both were so tasty. Some delicious high quality bread and great toppings. Both were good but the carbonara one was excellent. It was cheesy in a way I haven't tasted yet since becoming vegan. The restaurant has a nice location along the water. Our friends tried the pastrami and kroketten breads, they liked them as well! Only wish the portions were a tad bigger. Probably would not be enough if you are really hungry. Nevertheless, we'll be back!

My favourite place in Utrecht - Edit
Broei never fails to disappoint. It serves 3 meals a day and they are all delicious. My favourite breakfast is the pancakes, delicious American pancakes are served every day until noon. They recently introduced a carbonara sandwich and I hope it will stay on the menu! Their dinner is also very very amazing, I took many of my vegan and vegetarian friends here and all of them loved it!

Sophisticated - Edit
Walked in expecting a standard vegan restaurant, left feeling pleasantly satiated.
Read moreThis is a set menu restaurant in the evening. You choose four or five courses. I believe the menu changes every so often.
Great tasting. Great presentation and great chat.

Nice lunch, but was expecting more - Edit
We were here at lunch time.
Read moreGoing by the reviews, we were expecting more of a 'restaurant feel'. Had no idea the lunch menu (more light items like sandwich, soup etc) was totally different than the dinner menu (more gastronomic?).
We had:
- kombucha 4,50€
- rhurbarb lemonade 4€
- soup of the day (mushroom) 8€
- sandwich with mushroom kroket 12,75€
- sandwich knack wortel (a carrot) 11,75€
- gyozas 8,5€
Nice dishes. But lots of bread. The soup was very nice. The mushroom krokettes had no real distinct flavour.
A nice place, with lots of kombucha pots brewing. Nice! Full house and it was a bit loud, especially with several small children next to us.
Def make a reservation. Saw several people being turned away.
Stepfree entrence, didnt see an accessible toilet. Toilets on ground floor. Clean.

Lekker en mooi - Edit
Werkelijk iedere gang is niet alleen erg lekker, maar ziet er ook mooi uit. Chefkok Niels kookt op hoog niveau voor een zeer schappelijke prijs. De sfeer in het restaurant is relaxt, de bediening is enthousiast en vriendelijk.

Verfijnd en verrassend - Edit
Indrukwekkend 4 gangen menu. Iedere gang was mooi in balans met ieder zijn eigen karakteristieke smaak. Bediening was snel en vriendelijk. Toen het wat langer duurde kregen we een drankje van het huis. Aanrader voor een lekker avondje tafelen.

Verrassend verjaarsdiner! - Edit
Ik koos Broei voor mijn verjaardagsetentje! En dat was goed! Ik kook zelf graag dus ben kritisch. De ambiance is informeel en gezellig, voelt als een grote huiskamer. Hoe buitengewoon zijn dan de gerechten. We deden de "full monty": 5 gangen. De gerechten starten steeds vanuit groenten of paddestoelen. En steeds als een schilderij op het bord gedrapeerd. De samenstelling van de gerechten geeft een rijke smaak; je tong proeft steeds een (gefermenteerd) zuurtje, een zoetje, een bittertje. En door keuze van bijzondere groenten zoals schorseneren, truffelaardappel, aardpeer en kousenband ervaar je bij elke hap een rijke en vaak verrassende smaak. Daarbij werden we verrast door originele bereidingswijzen: boerenkoolchips, korkante linzen, gratin, etc.. Vooral wanneer je de vijf gangen neemt ervaar je de rijkheid, de variatie en daarmee het kookplezier van de chef. Samen met de attente, vriendelijke en behulpzame bediening had ik zo een heerlijk verjaarsdiner
Read morePros: bijzondere groenten, groenten van het seizoen, uitstekende chef, geweldige smaak
Cons: mist wat proteinen zoals peulvruchten,noten,quinoa

Favo plekje - Edit
Wij eten hier heel graag en iedereen die we meenemen van familie tot vrienden vindt het ook heerlijk. Vriendelijke bediening, toegankelijke en knusse sfeer, heerlijke gerechten van de seizoenskaart. Een van de beste vegan opties in Utrecht.

Interesting plant-based menu - Edit
Lovely place to have lunch with a strong plant-based menu. Generous portions and interesting twists on well-known favourite meals. Busy at lunch time so worth making a reservation if you're with a group of people.

One of the best - Edit
This is one of the best restaurants in Utrecht. It is very good, but it’s not great. I tried the 5 course seasonal menu and 3 out of the 5 were delicious. One was mediocre and one was with overcooked buckweat (yes, it was a risotto but still..). Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.
