What To Expect
Hoog Catharijne
We kick off the tour with a surprising story about transformation. Once known as a concrete jungle, this mall has become a symbol of Utrecht’s urban renewal. What used to be a cold, grey transit zone is now one of the most visited indoor shopping centers in the Netherlands – and a place where new ideas take root. We use this location to reflect on how spaces, like diets, can evolve. Just like cities grow greener and more people-friendly, so too can our food system. From here, we cycle into the city with fresh eyes – and a hungry stomach.
This cozy, colorful spot is where flavors from around the globe come together in one little kitchen. Run by a passionate entrepeneur who once started in India, Little World Kitchen shows that plant-based food can be soulful, spicy and deeply satisfying. Every dish is homemade, bursting with herbs and spices, and tells a personal story. You’ll taste a sample inspired by traditional recipes – reimagined without animal products, but full of heart. This is comfort food, powered by culture and compassion.

10/10 way to spend a day in Utrecht

5.00This was a solid way to spend the afternoon in Utrecht. As a meat eater (by habit), the tour was a great way to get exposure to delicious and filling vegan bites from some amazing restaurants around Utrecht -- the "salmon" carrots and the Karma kebab that blew my mind. I also liked how this tour incorporated the history of the restaurant and their relation to sustainability. Perfect blend of food, education and famous Dutch biking. Shout out to Pippa for being an amazing tour guide!
Amazing vegan food tour (bike)

5.00What a super experience! The food was more than adequate, and I'm quite a big eater. The guide was clear, friendly, passionate, funny and accessible. The food was very good. Very surprising was that it wasn’t just about the food but that the locations that were chosen also told a bit of history about their existence. I would never have found out normally. The locations were also super creatively decorated and completely out of the center. Again something I wouldn't go to as a tourist. If you like interior design, you will definitely come across nice places. I can recommend everyone vegan or not to take a ride. You have to be in a bit of shape if you go oldschool for a regular bike without electrical support.;) gears are handy, and otherwise just rent an electric bike. Sure thing. I'm also going to see if I can do the walking tour.
Nice vegan bike tour

5.00You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy this food tour!!!! Patrick was a fabulous knowledgeable guide, and was so helpful getting us set up on our bikes. We were wary of tackling the Dutch bike lanes but Patrick kept us on quiet streets almost all of the way, crossing traffic only when necessary and as a group. We felt very safe! The food was excellent, MANY small bites so much we didn’t eat dinner afterwards! The places we visited had such wonderful stories and were so warm and welcoming. It was one of the best food tours we have ever taken and we are both omnivores!!! Also- the other guests on the tour were great and so much fun to get to know. We made some real friends along the way.
Delivered on a sweltering hot day delicious places in Utrecht

5.00After an earlier vegan food tour walking through the center of Utrecht now a more extensive tour outside the canals. Patrick knew a lot about the enthusiastic entrepreneurs who dare to do plant-based business. Especially on these hot days there was a lot to drink, of course also a vegetable beer at Oproer. We already know quite a few vegan locations in Utrecht, Little Worls Kitchen and Za'atar were nice new places
Great way to find hidden gems in Utrecht!

5.00We really enjoyed the vegan food tour by bike in Utrecht. Even my partner who has lived many years in Utrecht learned new things and new places. I loved that the tour took us to very different venues and not only 1 kind. Tourguides Patrick, Marcella and Pippa were very enhtousiastic and had some great stories. Would recommend the tour to everyone, even if you are not a vegan or vegetarian you will absolutely enjoy it!
What a fun, culinary bike ride!

5.00We had booked two spots for the Vegan Foodtour by bike. With a nice club and accompanied by our top guide Patrick, we made a nice route through Utrecht. We were told interesting facts about special places in the city, but of course it was also about the food:p We are certainly not disappointed in that! From vegan fine dining to Brazilian appetizers, we were offered a wide range of treats. Afterwards, we were really not hungry anymore. We definitely plan to book the Vegan Foodtour in other cities as well!
Great tour with lovely food

5.00Really enjoyed this tour! Even though living in Utrecht my whole life, I discovered multiple amazing vegan spots with delicious food, that I did not know of before! Our tour guide Tessa is so kind and inspring, she taught us lots about the backgrounds of the restaurants. It was nice to connect with other people interested in veganism, although my friend who is not a vegan loved the tour as well. Would highly recommend!
A delicious day filled with biking, eating, learning and connecting.

5.00The bike tour gave so many cool insights into the vegan scene in Utrecht. It was a real joy to bike around and eat many delicious snacks and mini meals. The host gave many cool insights into the stories of all the entrepreneurs as well as fun notes on the city itself. Will definitely do the tours in Rotterdam and Amsterdam as well. Thanks for the great experience!
