Welcome in Phood Kitchen!
Where you’re guaranteed to be inspired by our alkaline farm-to-table approach. All our ingredients are hyper-locally grown in Eindhoven, many straight from our own Phood Farms.
Escape the city buzz, recharge, and discover the connection between yourself, nature, food production, and healthy meals at Phood.
Step into the world’s first aquaponic, alkaline restore-rant/farm, where we embrace the ancient tradition of broth-making with herbs, plants, mushrooms, microgreens, algae, and roots—all locally grown.
At Phood, we believe in the synergy of food and gardening. Whether you’re looking to restore, relax, recharge, or connect with yourself, others, and nature, this is the place to be.
Please note: Our kitchen is currently closed for renovations at the Caai. However, you can still spend a day helping on our farm, pick up fresh vegetables in our Phood Farm Shop, join our monthly Broth-Up lunches or book us as a caterer or speaker for your event.
Meet the new Phood standard!
Fine Dining experience
Phood Kitchen is not just a restaurant—it’s a platform for unprocessed, pure food.
Phood stands for plant-rich, health-promoting meals. Using ecological, alkalizing ingredients sourced from local regenerative urban farms. And now, you can even dine inside our Aquaponic Farm! By “plant-rich,” we don’t mean we’re pro-vegan or anti-meat—we simply believe in balance.
After a long personal journey through numerous health challenges, founders Tim Elfring and Sabine Feron discovered firsthand that food truly is medicine. We are born with the privilege of working in harmony with everything nature has to offer. But always as part of that nature, not separate from it.
This connection is not only the “only way” toward a sustainable planet, but it also reveals so much wisdom that nature has to teach us—wisdom that we can embrace and share through food.
This is the foundation of our Phood Standard. Enjoy!

Fine Dining experience
“Restaurant” comes from the French word “restaurer,” meaning “to restore.” At Phood, we bring this original meaning back to life.
The origin of restaurants goes back to a time when dining was about more than just enjoyment—it was about restoration. The word “restaurant” comes from the French “restaurer,” meaning “to restore.”
In 18th-century France, the first restaurants served nourishing broths and simple, wholesome dishes designed to refresh both body and mind. This idea of food as a way to heal and recharge is something modern science fully supports.
Over time, the focus on restoration has been lost in dining culture. But at Phood, we’re bringing it back. With a fresh, innovative touch, we’re creating a new Phood Standard—one that honors the original idea of restaurants as places to restore and care for one another.
Let’s rediscover what it truly means to gather, share, and nourish.

We supply fresh produce to over 70 households, farm shops, and local restaurants. On our “water-land,” we work with young people facing challenges in the job market, learning and growing together.
We’ve also launched our community farming program, just five minutes from the restaurant. Here, we grow regeneratively on our “land-land,” following permaculture principles. It’s a chance to learn how to farm, connect with others, and enjoy the harvest.
