#496 Nice lunch on terrace, De Gillende keukenmeiden, Zwolle (NL)

restaurant review #496 – This is a lunch place with vegan options in Zwolle, in the north of the Netherlands. We stopped here on our way back after a weekend in Groningen, in July.

There was a line queuing to get a seat. Seemed like a very popular place! As it was Monday for lunch – and not many other places open on Monday, we just waited. It went fairly smooth, about 10 minutes wait. We sat on the outdoor terrace.

A couple of vegan options/ menu items that can be ordered vegan (labelled). I wanted to order the toastie with vegan cheezes (since that is something you don’t see on a menu every day), but unfortunately it was sold out… :-/ Pity.

Food was nice, although the pizza (12,75€) wasn’t really that special (pizza bread with some pesto, olive oil and a tomato salsa and I think baba ganoush. The sandwich with pulled ‘chicken’ was nice (13,75€)

Lovely looking pies and cakes inside, of which a couple are vegan. But we declined dessert.

Very friendly!
‘De Gillende Keukenmeiden’ translates as ‘The screaming kitchen lasses’, but we heard no screams coming from the kitchen 😉

Bit unhandy to eat on the bench outside (with a low table in front of us). Not comfortable.
Inside was empty (it was a lovely Summer day! Everyone sat outside). Toilet after counter, paper towels to dry ones hands. Not accessible.
