For those visiting Fenix Food Factory for the first time, you might want to get the platter which is available only for brunch. This allows diners to savour the highlights for the 10 stalls. We did just that as we felt quite lost and not sure of what to get. However, all the items for the platters are decided by the stalls, in other words, you can’t choose.

First approached the platter stand and purchase the platter. After payment, you get a heavy wooden plank and a card, whereby you used that to redeem for food at the 10 stalls.

Interestingly, Bosch&De Jong Boekverkopers offers a book in Dutch, since we don’t read the language, it is a waste to get one, instead they offered us a trail guide.

Finally, the complete platter (missing the coffee) looks like the above. Even though, it doesn’t look substantial, we were bloated from this amount of food.
