Qeet shares local flavors!

Fort 5 has been owned by the Utrecht company Qeet since 2023. The mission of Qeet, and therefore also of Fort 5, is to provide a different experience at the table based on local flavors and mainly vegetarian cuisine. Fort 5 works with local flavors from the neighborhood. Food and drinks travel an average of 30.000 kilometers before they reach your plate or your glass. Normally our food and drinks come from all over the world. It is the mission of Qeet and therefore also of Fort 5 to limit this to 30 kilometers. That's quite a statement. Qeet wants to shape this by working together as much as possible with local entrepreneurs. Fort 5's standard when serving fish or meat is that animals have had a good life and come exclusively from the Netherlands, the North Sea or Dutch rivers.
