Studio Konijnenvoer
At Studio Konijnenvoer (Rabbit food) you can choose two completely different nights out. Under one roof, you will find two concepts: 'Trattoria 89' and 'de chique zaak (the chic business)'. At both places the owners have decided to not put their menu online. At Trattoria 89 you will find delicious Italian dishes. At De Chique Zaak you experience totally different things: as the name suggests, it is a fancier version. Not Italian cuisine, but international. The chef experiments with fermented ingredients and different cuisines. Here you choose from a five or- seven-course menu. However, in both concepts, the cuisine is 100% plant-based. One thing is certain, whichever concept you choose (or maybe you'll visit both), you will certainly not be eating rabbit food. + More info
