Foodware - Looiersgracht 12

30 Euros for a nice meal for two! Simple and healthy food choices, great staff!

Really nice place with delicious and varied food. The decoration brings cozy and the staff are very very nice. I will comeback when coming in Netherlands.

Place N1 for sure if you want to get a pleasure from the food during the day. Friendly staff, chill atmosphere and super fresh tasty food (big portions)! I tried almost all options they have, never was disappointed. My favorite: truffle chicken, fish burger, lemongrass chicken, perfectly cooked broccoli... and everything else! A bit pricey(about 15), but worthy. The idea is you are choosing main dish, vegie and grain so you can mix and make the best out of it! Also tried their salads, still main options are much better!

Lovely lunch and take away spot. A build your own meal type deal with a lot of healthy options. Highly recommended.

I love the concept. Many healthy food options: choose your base + a main + side of veggie. The food is delicious, nice staff and the restaurant is nice inside. I do think it is a bit overpriced for a bowl, in comparison to similar restaurant offerings.

Delicious food, many options to choose from and mix, great taste, healthy and balanced. Lovely staff & great vibes. They also have coffee & juices & beer options to serve there or buy for home

I thought that had ordered baked potatoes with prawns but it seems I'm must have been wrong, so I ordered potatoes and as a bonus received 4 pieces of prawns, food is delicious but is that not expected or is that another bonus? ?

If you've got the tableware and dinnerware, all you need is Foodware. Close to Festina Lente on Looiersgracht canal, the cafe renowned for its photo-friendly outside statue of an elderly gentleman on a bench stroking a cat, Foodware is a restaurant and takeaway specialising in freshly prepared fine dining without artificial ingredients. The inside has the appearance of a deserted garage which will appeal to those who favour the minimalist look. I would almost be willing to bet that, in a previous reincarnation, it was a deserted garage. The place feels more like a shop than a restaurant. You can almost always be assured of a seat, as the clientele are predominately those coming for a takeaway and those wanting to supplement a meal already prepared at home. Cupboards, stocked with delicacies from small specialised producers, line the walls. Usually, there's an excellent assortment of niche gourmet products and delicacies, so it's worth popping your head in the door from time to time just to see what's on offer. There's a smattering of tables and chairs in front of a large vitrine packed with trays of the dishes on offer. In the background, the open plan kitchen is a hive of activity. Foodware offers international cuisine for vegetarians, meat and fish lovers. Dishes can be assembled in a "mix and match" fashion; Alternatively, the restaurant's meals consist of a main dish, plus a choice of two side dishes. The menu always features at least two curry dishes, one of which is vegetarian. Chicken and salmon feature prominently, as do various pasta offerings. Side dishes are a choice of around half a dozen vegetable recipes, in addition to spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncini, minted couscous with cranberries and roasted pumpkin seeds, oven roasted Roseval potatoes with sea salt and thyme, and wild and Basmati rice. For those not counting calories, the dessert menu offers tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon meringue pie, pear or lemon pie. Wash down with coffee, fruit juices and a great choice of beers. Honest and healthy dining at reasonable prices.
