Firm favourite

Latest update: still great! The smoked aubergine dip is wonderfully smokey and spiced.

Previous update: Still great! The ribs are maybe even better than before and I had the kimchi Reuben for the first time and really liked it.

Previous uodate: Still great! Had cod croquettes, fries and the relatively new fried chicken burger.

Update: Still great! The cheezy burger and fries (shared) was a great lunch.

Another update: Still great! It's been a long time since I had the ribs (starter) and they were very good.

We love Soil. The Ben Ben Noodles remain a firm favourite, and we also enjoyed the cod croquettes, smoky aubergine dip and spicy seitan sándwich. Sharing a bunch of starters is usually a winner.

Update! Now in January we've been back to try new dishes. The house-pickled Shii-take were good and my partner liked the kebab starter and (again) the spicy seitan sandwich. I tried the Tonkotsu ramen and it was excellent.

Good wine and service again!

😍 Ben Ben Noodles are a must, and we're thrilled you enjoyed the cod croquettes, aubergine dip, and seitan sandwich. Sharing starters rocks! 🌱 Thanks for making Soil your go-to. Can't wait to see you again! 🍜🌮🥳

Leuk tent hoor Soil. Super lekker gegeten. Absoluut niks mis mee. Geen wauwfactor dus 4 sterretjes van de 5, maar dat is helemaal meer dan prima!

Assertive combination of flavours

A perfect destination for vegans, although meat-lovers won’t be disappointed ( Soil makes the best plant-based hamburger in town !). Delicious food, super friendly staff and cozy ambiance. I ordered the rode beetroot hummus and the peanut butter curry - taste like heaven!

Cosy brunch spot

Warm bowls, tasty vegan burger, salad and sandwich options.
Desserts include a cheese cake, ice cream and more

With a beautiful betroot hummus starter and a bowl or burger to go, I’d totally recommend a delicious bio bier.

Love this place.

Pros: All vegan baby , Desserts, hummus, burgers, beer what do you want

Food is amazing and delicious!!!

I have been at Soil a couple of times and it's always a blast!!
The food is simply amazing! Dishes are colorful, tasty, full of flavors and healthy!
I have tried different curries, salads, starters, coffee, deserts.. there is no dish that I am able to say " I didn't like it much", on the contrary, I've enjoyed all of them!
Strongly recommend it even to No Vegans! I have been there with No Vegan friends and they were quite amazed about the food ;)!
My favorite dish of the moment is the green curry (if you like a bit spicy, you will love it)!

Pros: Tasty, Real Food, Lovely ambiance

Cons: Deserts are seasonal.. I would love to repeat them

Okay

The portions were too small for the price in my opinion. The beyond burger and the peanut bowl were really good but the kimchi bowl was disappointing and lacked flavour. For 4€ you can add mock chicken which tasted good but it was literally like four little pieces of the chicken.

Pros: cosy

Cons: small portions

מדהים פה!

מסעדה טבעונית לחלוטין, אכלנו את המנה של הקארי הירוק בתוספת "עוף" וצ'יזבורגר ביונד - היה טעים ממש!
אווירה כיפית ורגועה, צוות אדיב.
מומלץ ביותר.

Flavor burger bombs!

We had a wonderful experience at Soil. We split two burgers; The Kimchi Burger and The Pulled Barbecue Burger. Both were amazing in terms of flavor and texture. The buns were so fresh and clearly made in-house. Not to forget, we had a BOMB hot sauce on the side, also made in-house in a fermentation process. The owners were really welcoming and gave some nice insights to the concept. So so wonderful. Please go 💫

Pros: Powerful flavor combos , Not too expensive , In-house products

Cosy friendly restaurant

It was the third time I went to soil. And the third time of it being a bit disappointing. As a vegan, i am often so happy about finding a place to cater for my needs, that I forget and forgive easily. But after three tries I have to be frank with myself. Food is okay. On the expensive side. Small portions and.... ouch... it is home cooking. Not restaurant food. Many options on the menu not available. Inconsistent. ( why is my first latte bigger and less foamier then the next?) You can only pay by card, but you dont find out until you hand them money.

Pros: Total vegan, Cosy, Friendly staff

Cons: Many options were not available, Smallish

Great bowls

Nice vegan place. Cook came to our table as she was out of some ingredients for our order. Together we combined a new bowl not on the menu. Which tasted great. Try the home made chili saus. Can recommend this lovely place!

Pros: Vegan, Nice staff and atmosphere, Good food

I’m vegan and needed a great healthy vegan meal. Soil did not disappoint. My husband is a carnivore and he enjoyed it. The snickers bar dessert is fantastic and the staff is amazing. :)

Mixed

Some things here were really nice. The 'Beyond meat' burger was amazing, as was the baba ganoush. However, the cheesecake was only ok. The coffee and the peanut curry were dreadful!

Pros: Burger, Baba ganoush

Cons: Peanut curry - very bland, Coffee - tasteless

They kept what they promised

My wife and I ordered different dishes. Sevilla Bowl chickpeas in tomato sauce, fresh-wilted spinach, cauliflower and shaved almonds. The other dish was the SOIL Cheeseburger with Beyond Meat, cheddar cheese, seared Mushrooms, homemade pickled onions and smoked garlic mayo.

Really delicious and we were really happy full.

Pros: Only vegan, Very nice atmosphere , They care

Cons: Nothing to complain about

Nice plantbased restaurant with nourishing, healthy comfort food

A small restaurant with a good vibe and nice personnel. The menu consists of warm bowls, salad bowls and burger/sandwiches. You can choose between white rice or quinoa and add extras (like avo, smoked tofu, double up the beyond burger) to you meal.

The taste is very good and not too expensive. Definitely a place to visit more often when in Amsterdam. The only con I can think of is not having side dishes on their menu like extra greens, salad or potato to add to your burger or bowl menu.

The hummus and muhammara as a starter is also tasteful btw.

Pros: Plantbased, Good taste, Quick service

Cons: No side dishes , No IPA beers

To me the bowls were bland and tasteless and I would never go back here. Maybe if you are into really healthy vegan stuff, this could be for you though.

The most delicious vegan dinner

Me and my friend shared the white bean hummus and then each had the peanut curry bowl with rice and smoked tofu and it was one of the nicest dinner’s I’ve ever had from a restaurant! It was stunning. The whole menu is vegan including the wine. 10/10 I would love to go back next time I’m in Amsterdam😄

Pros: All vegan , Absolutely divine food , Fresh and healthy
