The delicious details

Spirit is a self-service vegetarian buffet where every dish is made from 100 per cent organic ingredients. Rooted in the principles of macrobiotics, the kitchen prepares around 55 dishes fresh each day, drawing on international flavours with a modern, plant forward emphasis. Roughly 90 per cent of the buffet is fully vegan, with each item clearly labelled.

The spacious, light-filled dining room sits at the corner of Czaar Peterstraat, a short walk from the Brouwerij 't IJ windmill. Guests fill their plates at the buffet counter and pay by weight at the till. An adjacent Odin organic store complements the restaurant's organic sourcing. Local artwork on the walls, including a mural by Robert Rost, adds character to the space.

Menu

What is on the table

Self-service vegetarian buffet with around 55 dishes rotated daily. All prepared fresh on-site from organic ingredients with seitan, tempeh and tofu as primary proteins. Approximately 90 per cent of dishes fully vegan. Includes a vegan ice cream bar with eight flavours and vegan wine.

The buffet spans breakfast, lunch and dinner, with around 55 dishes rotating through hot and cold preparations, soups and desserts. Cold options include seaweed salad, kale and avocado with Asian dressing, and vegetarian sushi. Warm dishes range from aubergine lasagne and fennel lentil stew to seitan steak with umami sauce, with seitan, tempeh and tofu as the primary protein sources.

All dishes are prepared from scratch in the on-site kitchen each day. Desserts and dressings use alternative sweeteners such as agave and rice syrup rather than refined sugar, reflecting the kitchen's macrobiotic roots and its deliberate focus on whole-ingredient cooking.

A vegan ice cream bar with eight flavours rounds out the sweet side. Vegan beer and wine are served at the counter.
