Excellent food, fair price, wonderful project - Edit
Great food! The serving sizes were a bit on the small side, but the reasonable prices allowed for desserts and drinks which made up for it. Either way, immensely happy this project exists and that I could come support it.

Great vibes and food - Edit
I came here with my coworker and his wife who are omnis but veg curious. They loved it! The lemon risotto in particular was a hit, but everything was good. The location is right on the water and the decor reminds me of the hip neighborhoods in Berlin. This is a great place for groups.

Great food - Edit
Interesting vegetable focused menu. I tried the fava and roasted veg, which made a lovely light lunch. I also had a warm apple juice, which was flavoured with a little cinnamon and was delicious.

Amazing - Edit
Cosy place, they have a cat, friendly staff, and unique fancy menu. A bit expensive if you want a quick bite, but ideal for a date or if you have something to celebrate. If you take a full meal, one drink and desert you should expect to pay between 30 and 50 per person. But I highly recommend to check it out. Will try to visit again this week for the fried mushrooms.
Read morePros: The food is amazing and high quality, The staff is very friendly, The place is cosy and eccentric
Cons: The price

Cafe De Ceuvel - Edit
Cool place! A good midway point between Eye and STRAAT if you’re on foot.
Read moreBean Stew was good but the portion could’ve been bigger and would be better if the bread was toasted.
Non-vegan friend had the Bapao and a Cappuccino and he really enjoyed both.
Chocolate Brownie was insanely good. Dense, rich, and extremely chocolatey. One of the best I’ve ever had.

Hidden gem - Edit
The Café is in Nord Amsterdam located directly at the water. The location is very nice, you can sit on the terrace near the water, but it is also
Read morevery nice and cosy inside. We came for lunch and had filled bao buns with salad and a dip, a juice and later hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was very good! Also the cakes and the dinner menu sounded very good!
It is a place to sit for longer, enjoy the time and talk. They have also board games you can take.
I wouldn’t have found this place without Happy Cow but I am glad that we made our way out there, it was definitely worth it!
Pros: Nice location, Friendly and attentive service, Delicious food!
Cons: A bit further away from the center

Lovely place :) - Edit
Has a really cool atmosphere. The food tasted great! The person I went there with and I got ‘krokante bloemkool’, ‘ravioli’ and ‘verse vijgen’.

When ordering a hot drink you get a piece of ‘boter koek’. It’s the first time that I saw a vegan version of this. It tasted really good😄

Fantastic location - Edit
Sat just on the water’s edge in the north, with a lovely outside seating area that looks out onto a plein filled with interesting boats and pieces of artwork. Very high standard of food and menu. Excellent all round.

Had an amazing endive mash with wild garlic and confit portobello. Loved it!

Calm spot for lunch - Edit
As we were staying north of the river this was on our list of places to stop, and it did not disappoint.
Read moreAfter a walk around the village and reading a little about the history and ethos we stopped for lunch.
It was raining (a lot) but the big shelter meant we could still sit outside and the soup and warm alcoholic apple juice kept me nice and warm.
If I had more time in Amsterdam I would definitely have visited again.
Pros: Fully Vegan, Easy QR code service , Amazing soup

Homely - Edit
Had a mustard soup and some bitterballen and a couple of beers. It was spot on. People of all ages were there intermingling, staff were down to earth, and the decor is characterful. Heating was a touch high for me but I'm generally warm anyway so no bother. I'll go again I think.

Chestnut soup - Edit
The Café is within an interesting community, however now in winter the place looked deserted and we were not sure at first if the Café would be open, the livelihood inside was hidden from the outside. The interior arrangement and decoration were rustic but quite cozy, although we had to sit with our jackets as it was too cold for us. There was a system failure so we had to wait quite a bit before our order could be taken. The menu was separated into different time slots so to say, therefore the choice for lunch was rather limited. We had the Ravioli and chestnut soup which were quite tasty, we were also able to order the Bitterballen, as we stayed longer than 4 p. M., they were okay. The portions were not filling and the prices a bit high, at least compared to other vegan places. We did find the choice of dishes nice though, we never saw any other place offering chestnut soup or kimchi filled ravioli.
Read morePros: Unique choice of dishes, Tasty , Friendly service
Cons: Pricy , Cold inside, Unisex bathroom
