Restaurant Elea
Healthy food in a fine-dining environment? You can at the Noordeinde. Elea is a modern restaurant with a Greek soul and tradition. This is reflected in twists on Greek classics, such as kritharaki (orzo) with truffle and trachana with cauliflower. Vegetables play an important role here. The vegetarian options, such as a Wellington of celeriac, are truly to be savoured.

5. Café Soof
Tucked away in the garden of the historic Nutshuis, Café Soof is a quiet place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Although the garden might be a bit cold right now, you can enjoy healthy, Eastern Mediterranean dishes prepared with fresh ingredients from their own garden inside. For example, try the aubergine with tahini, beans and dill yoghurt on flatbread, or the avocado waffle with Dutch prawns.
