FAQ: What kind of food is available for Vegans?

Efteling is slowly waking up to vegans. There is very little available at this time.

FAQ: What kind of food is available for Vegetarians?

There is a good range of vegetarian options.
Most places will do a mozzarella and tomato salad or mozzarella and tomato panini.
There's cream cheese baguettes and baguettes with other fillings.
At the White Horse they will make them fresh so if you don't like something (like ham) they can leave it out.
Casa Caracol usually has a vegetarian wrap.
​Toko pagode does a nice Thai yellow curry with tofu.
Burger Backerij (Burger Bakery) attached to the Steenbok does a no meat burger so does Het Witte Paard.
From the food dispensers there's kaaskroket which is melted cheese with a crispy coating or a bami schijf.
​They sell chips everywhere so that's veggie.
De Likkebaerd does a veggie burger.

Do be careful of the soups, probably the only veggie one is the tomato. They like to put meat in most soups.
Het Wapen Van Raveleijn if you book is usually a roast chicken but if you let them know you are vegetarian they will arrange an alternative for you.
