Heerlijk geluncht - Edit
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.

One of my favourites for lunch - Edit
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.
Read morePlease be aware that lunch items can be ordered until 15.00 (bites and pastries are still available after this).
Some foods I love are banana bread (with vegan butter and chutney), Broei burger, loaded fries, shakshuka and sandwiches with ‘egg’ salad and 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 and Chai latte). They offer some decent pies by Life’s a peach as well, e.g. cheesecake and pear tarte.

Panfakes - Edit
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.
Read moreWarning: 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 - Edit
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.

Incredible 3 course dinner, great breakfast - Edit
The dinner is definitely the highlight of Broei. We had a wonderful evening here and three courses were not that expensive with 32,50€.
Read moreBreakfast 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! - Edit
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!

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

Amazing vegan lunch and original menu - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
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.

Top vegan restaurant in the city - Edit
I’ve been to Broei many times over the last years and where it has always been a nice option, it now became one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Also because they made the step to become fully plantbased. The food is always good and the restaurant has a good vibe. Also a place where I bring my non-veg friends and they’re never disappointed.

One of my favorites in Utrecht - Edit
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.
Read moreThey 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.
Pros: Changes menu regularly , Friendly staff, Relaxed atmosphere
