Tucked away in a small street, it's easily overlooked. Life’s A Peach is like stepping into someone’s cozy kitchen—if that someone were a passionate Italian chef who swapped dairy for creativity. Everything here is 100% plant-based, with focaccias and pastries that make you forget all about cream or cheese. Owner Vanessa cooks with love, using seasonal, local ingredients that make each bite feel like a little celebration. You don’t just eat here—you feel good doing it.
In the city's heart, Copper Branch is your go-to for quick, healthy meals without compromise.

5.00Today I did the VforFood Tour in Utrecht. Initiator and guide Daisy can inspire like no other. She told great stories about the entrepreneurs we visited (we made no less than seven stops to eat) and she also knew how to tell a lot of fun facts about Utrecht. This tour is highly recommended (also to join only). You will learn a lot about vegan food and why you could make the switch. And the food was heavenly so what more could you want?! Highly recommended.
Super fun experience

5.00We had a great vegan food tour and even though I know Utrecht fairly well, I discovered a few good new places. I will be visiting some of them with a couple of loved ones who started the vegan lifestyle recently. Thanks to Patrick for a really informative and amusing walk.
Enjoyed the Vegan Food Tour

5.00Together with (former) editors participated in the Food Tour, our guide was Patrick Boone. During the tour he told us about sights and horns worthwhile about Utrecht. Likewise about the various vegan places we visited. What a great tasty dishes and drinks all, the pasta de nata surpassed the original in Portugal as far as I am concerned. Vegan food is so good, even though I am flexitarian, I enjoyed the tour, Utrecht is also a great city. Together with my husband I will be going to Utrecht again soon, and although he is also a flexitarian, I will drag him along numerous addresses where we have been, I am sure he will like the dishes. Reason to choose vegan even more often,???
Yucky food tour in the rain

2.00This was not clearly advertised that it was a purely vegan tour. The tour guide was nice but most of the food was not good. I have an issue eating soy and after the tour I was very sick. Plus it was raining and we had to stand outside in the rain to eat our food at several places. Never have I not been welcomed into a restaurant on a food tour.
Everyone should book this tour

5.00Booking had to be moved to another day due to lack of other people but was offered several options. Made it very easy. Tessa was fantastic. Very passionate and informative. The Tour was everything you want in a food tour, lots of food, good views along way, some history, met some great people as well. We will definitely recommend on our podcast WSMHtravels
Wonderful and super tasteful experience!

5.00We had a wonderful day with our lovely smiling, cheerful and passionate guide Beau. The five of us enjoyed her company and story telling tremendously as well as the super tasteful vegan snacks on the way. It is very helpful to get to know the right places in the city. The tour was very enjoyable and at Beau's suggestion, my friend and me completed the tour with a vegan soft serve at Last Vegas. Heavenly! Better than regular soft serve! All in all we had a wonderful time and we would recommend it to everyone, vegan or no vegan.
Vegan but really good!

5.00Really nice tour, it’s a good amount of walking which we loved but worth noting that could be prohibitive for some people. You get to see the whole city in a really nice way. Lots of little bits on the history of the city without being too bogged down by it. The food was really good, but please note it is Vegan. We aren’t vegan at all and didn’t see it really advertised that way, but we are open minded and loved the food. I would highly recommend.
