Restaurant Vannu is the kind of restaurant I have been searching for my entire life. If you go nowhere else in the Netherlands, go here! Every meal goes above and beyond my very high expectations and the service is incredibly friendly. This is a restaurant for anyone who truly appreciates food. It doesn’t matter if you’re vegan, vegetarian, or indeed if you are against fine dining. Vannu is the kind of place that I believe absolutely anyone could enjoy! They balance fine dining and culinary precision with gezelligheid and hospitality. It is the only fine dining restaurant I have been to that has thrown stuffiness out the window and lets their work speak for itself. My husband and I base all of our travels on food and, since we’ve been vegan 10 years already, we have searched the world for the best vegan eats. We have lived in food paradises such as Amsterdam, Las Vegas and Portland, Oregon, and we have traveled to many of the major cities in the world. We keep an updated list of our favorite restaurants from all over the world and the first time we ate at Vannu, we immediately agreed it deserved the #1 spot! Since then, we have literally changed our schedules to be able to eat here more often. Every time (nearly 10 visits now), we continue to agree, the food at Vannu is the best we have encountered worldwide! We have eaten at fully vegan Michelin restaurants and eaten the vegan menu at some of the best restaurants in the world. They do not compare. Chef Gijs Kemmeren is a true culinary genius. His balance between seasonal availability, texture, flavor, temperature, and a heartfelt dedication to sustainability will leave you wondering how any of this is even possible by simply using vegetables. His art is in making simple ingredients truly sing with deft precision and creative choices. From pairing vanilla ice cream and string beans to creating an entire menu for asparagus, there are surprises around every corner that keeps us coming back again and again and consistently blows us away! Indeed the drink pairings are a genius to themselves: partner Iris Saaman (I believe also a chef) creates truly perfect arrangements from alcoholic, low alcohol and non-alcoholic. I always go for the non-alcoholic pairings and they are by no means an after thought! Not only does each drink complement its food counterpart, it always brings out even more flavor, especially when using contrast as a tool. Imagine a soup course with an icy mocktail, a rich dish with a bright juice, a crunchy dessert with a creamy milkshake. This will be a restaurant I will never forget. We go here for all of our special occasions - big and small. Any excuse to come here. Whenever I get the chance, I recommend this place to anyone who will listen and everyone always reaches back out with the same conclusion: 10/10 best meal they’ve ever had. Thank you, Vannu, for bringing your creations to the world! May you do it for many, many years to come! I am truly grateful for all of the beautiful meals you have prepared for us and we can’t wait to see what you make next!
Wat hebben wij genoten van deze bijzondere avond! Elk gerecht was ontzettend creatief en liet zien hoeveel je met lokale ingrediënten en een zero waste visie kunt doen. Zo werden overgebleven aspergeschillen verwerkt tot een verrukkelijk asperge-ijs. Ook de sfeer, de gastvrijheid en de bijpassende drankpairing maakten de ervaring helemaal compleet. Een restaurant dat laat zien hoe bijzonder vegetarische fine dining kan zijn. Zeker een aanrader voor iedereen die houdt van verrassende smaken en een duurzame culinaire beleving!
Op een zwoele zaterdagavond hier een zes gangen diner gegeten op het mooie terras aan de Mariaplaats. Eigenlijk waren alle groente gerechtjes heerlijk, maar een paar sprongen eruit, bijvoorbeeld de spitskool met jalapeño sausje. Het dessert was hemels, witte chocolade met ingelegde kers, pure chocolade en bastogne koek crumble. De wijn was perfect en ook nog eens betaalbaar.
Groepsdiner voor werk gehad bij Tolhuistuin en het vega menu was een goede afwisseling. Niet allemaal voltreffers, maar de verschillende gerechten kon mijn gemeleerde groep prima tevreden stellen.
