Rein

Love this spot ! The lentil salad with dates and goats cheese was incredible ! Protein smoothie wasn’t too bad either. Will definitely be revisiting :)

Rein has opened a new healthy hotspot, this one on Wibautstraat. I am really pleased to see new hip, healthy and organic places opening in East Amsterdam.
Rein’s philosophy is explained well on their website. What you get is smoothies and sandwiches using only organic and biological products. The smoothies (at least the ones I tasted) are really yummie and adjustable according to your flavor or preference. For example, I liked one that contained proteins, while I was not planning to do sports, so they left out those. The sandwiches are really delicious too!
The only minus is that the place feels a bit empty and cold. Maybe it is meant to be «raw», being a concept of it’s own. It had lots of concrete and not much art or decorations, almost like a pop-​up café. To my taste it could use a little bit more to make it feel gezellig. I do have the feeling they are still working on it.
