Wat ook super fijn is aan Mr. NonNo, is dat heel veel gerechten vegan zijn en de pancakes ook glutenvrij te bestellen zijn.

When having lunch at Mr. NonNo, you can be sure that there is something for everyone. Their menu consists of many different types of pancakes, toast, sandwiches, egg muffins and bowls … And all very delicious!

Another thing that’s great about Mr. NonNo, is that many dishes are vegan and the pancakes can also be ordered gluten-free.

52. Yoghurt Barn

Yoghurt Barn werkt dan misschien graag met biologische yoghurt en zuivel in het algemeen, maar ze willen ook graag iets bieden aan de mensen die liever geen zuivel eten. Om ook de vegan in Rotterdam mee te kunnen nemen in de wereld van (plantaardige) yoghurt, hebben ze onder andere een heerlijke Vegan High Tea samengesteld. Gevuld met natuurlijk Yoghurt Barn's heerlijke (soja) yoghurt, vegan kokosbrood, Sharp Sharp gebakjes, een wrap met avocado, broodjes met dips en nog meer. Ideaal voor plantaardige eters, mensen die niet zo lekker gaan op lactose, of mensen die graag bewust genieten! 

A savoury, healthy toast or a sweet guilty pleasure for lunch? At Yoghurt Barn you have it all.

For example, try their lunch deal, which includes a medium yogurt special, banana bread, coconut bread or blueberry cake and a fruit juice. Or try their Barn wrap: a beet wrap with organic yoghurt spread, spinach, avocado and pistachio.
