Mama Gaia

Went there for dinner on a weekday 8 o‘clock. The staff is very nice and attentive, always there to help and explain every course. We had the 5 course dinner menu - it was amazing!
As one of us is wheat-intolerant they prepared a gluten-free variation of every course, which was truly perfect.

They also have a selection of non-alcoholic wines and beers - a game changer! We’ll definitely be back!

We had an unforgettable dining experience at Mama Gaia. Every dish was a masterpiece; beautifully presented, with diverse flavors and creative combinations. We chose the 5 course menu, but combined with the amuse-bouche, bread, and an additional sweet course before the main dessert, this felt like much more than just 5 courses and was super satisfying. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, regardless of whether or not you eat plant based at home, and consider it to be one of the best in the Netherlands (especially for plant-based food). The cherry-on-top was the lovely staff, who were attentive, knowledgeable, and simply a joy to talk to. Everyone at Mama Gaia clearly loves what they do, which made the experience truly excellent. We left feeling inspired, hopeful, and very satisfied. Cant wait to come back!

It just was fantastic, a 5 course menu, most of our guests were not vegan, but everybody was more than satisfied and suprised!
Really Haute cuisine!
In Dutch the eye eats along....
Very nice service, individual wishes were welcome.
Good quality wine and all other beverages are good too.

Unbelievably good!! It doesn’t matter if you’re vegan/vegetarian or absolutely not, the food is just amazing! Service was also of high quality and very friendly staff

Delicious, all plant based food. Friendly service. Loved it and will definitely come back

It was a perfect dinner, very nice service with a smile. Tasty dinners

We had a great experience and food. We heard this was the best vegan place in the NL so we decided to check it out. We went for the 5 tempos menu and it did not disappoint. Every dish contains a explosion of flavor, we were surprised at the variety of cooking techniques used. We tried many veggies in a way we hadn't before.

Great place with lot of thought for the environment.
Vegan food is very original. Lots of different flavours and learnt some new vegetables as well. gluten free is well accommodated. Wine goes very well with the food.

Fabulous restaurant, lovely seating, not to close to other tables, with intimate nooks. Lighting creates a wonderful ambiance. The food is wonderful presented, very tasty, and not cliche vegan, with great inventions like mustard seed caviar. The dishes are small so 4 or 5 course is very doable if you are not a big eater. And that gives you the joy to enjoy a wide variety of flavours. It reminds me of the superb restaurant Terra a Terra in Brighton UK. The drink menu is also excellent for non-alcoholic beverages and if you like a hot drink with a different kick than caffeine. Re-using your tea a second round for a 1€ refill is sympathetic. And free table water in Dopper bottles is a nice touch. So funny I forgot it is all plant based so asked for non-diary milk for the pink guarana latte. I am so conditioned to ask for an exception were here it is the norm. Great experience for 'normal' eaters, and an absolute fiesta for a diverse group with vegetarians, non-drinkers, and pregnant people. The staff is friendly and helpful, and attentive. So for us a definite restaurant to recurrently visit. An absolute gem. Oh and loads of parking options for bikes, walking distance from the station, and a carpark.

Had some amazing vegan food and great alcohol-free cocktails. Staff was friendly and attentive. Great place to celebrate a special occasion.

Very nice experience. Good service (everything was explained), chic interior and relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious. Good value for money. Would recommend.

Wow! Professional and very kind staff. Really helpful at all times. Even they had to walk quite a bit to cross (the very silent) road to come to the oasis kinda feeling terras.
We enjoined the chef’s 5 course menu and simply loved it! Vegan dinner to the max, without missing out on animal products at all. We enjoyed refill after refill from the sustainable Dopper bottle. Simple perfect and we will be back :)

We enjoyed our yearly x-mas dinner @ Mama Gaia. It was amazing, the food is very tasteful and presented very well. The accompanying wines complete this tasting adventure. Highly recommended!

The food, wine and the service was excellent. We had such a nice evening there and can’t wait to come back 🧡

Excellent food and service. We had 5 course menu & ‘bob’ wine arrangement. All delicious. Service attent & professional. Loved it

We went on a Saturday night for a 5 course meal and had the most amazing experience! The food, atmosphere and service are all extra great. They also served extra sides and with every bite we were met with an explosion of flavours, each one more complex and more delicious! The atmosphere was also very welcoming, with soft jazz music and soft lights as well. We also got a very cosy table - all made for a very intimate dinner. The service was also superb. Definitely recommend and definitely will come back and try some more from other chefs as well.

Amazing gourmet vegan cuisine. It’s so rare to find a restaurant that can pack so many flavors into a dish without it being unhealthy like so many other vegan restaurants are. We will definitely be back (as it’s walking distance from our house) ❤

Best vegan restaurant in Haarlem. The dishes are tasty and inventive, the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, the decor is modern, and spacious.

We went to Mama Gaia for a family birthday celebration, based on a friend’s recommendation and oh yes it delivered. Incredible food and experience given to us by a skilled and caring restaurant team. 100% recommended. Thank you Mama Gaia and see you again!

As a vegetarian not a vegan, I was consistently impressed by the imagination, textures, flavours and colours of the food, immaculately presented. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more delightful. At no stage did I feel this was style over substance and we came away satisfied and happy! Highly recommended.
