An easy way of starting a more sustainable lifestyle, is by eating (occasionally) meat or diary free. The vegetarian or vegan lifestyle has become more popular and integrated in our daily life. Where you used to have trouble finding a vega (or vegan) lunchroom or hotspot back in the days, it is nowadays much easier to find a nice hotspot that serves delicious vega (or vegan) dishes. We have gathered our students own favourite sustainable-proof hotspots in Deventer, Enschede or Apeldoorn.
- ETN
This hotspot is not entirely vegan, but offers many options such as creating your own salad. Sit down in their cosy restaurant, order a take-away meal or visit their vegan bakery.
- Food bar Rauw
Rauw is located in the Twentsche Foodhal and is entirely vegan. Their name (raw) is derived from the fact that (most of) their dishes can be eaten raw. Want to learn how to create vegan dishes yourself? Rauw organizes vegan cooking workshops!
- De Basis
De Basis is not entirely vegan, but is mainly focused on seasonal vegetables. They serve homegrown vegetables from their own garden and take into account any allergies you might have, such as a diary allergy or gluten allergy. We like!
