Experience Details

This isn’t your average bike tour – it’s a two-wheeled dive into the heart of Utrecht’s plant-based scene. Guided by a passionate local, you’ll visit the most exciting vegan and sustainable hotspots, meet inspiring entrepreneurs and taste your way through a delicious, climate-friendly future. From soulful Surinamese bites to bold Middle Eastern flavors, from fine dining with foraged herbs to fast food with a mission – every stop has a story. We cycle through lively neighborhoods and hidden gems, connecting each tasting to a bigger picture of ethical entrepreneurship, local change-makers and the rise of plant-based culture in the Netherlands. Expect surprising flavors, engaging conversations and a fresh look at sustainable urban living. Whether you're vegan, veg-curious or simply hungry for a new perspective – this tour feeds your body, mind and values. Powered by pedals and plants!

NOTE: basic biking skills are essential – Utrecht is one of the busiest cycling cities in the world.

What You’ll Experience

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.

Little World Kitchen @ De Conciërge

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.
