Firm favourite - Edit
Latest update: still great! The smoked aubergine dip is wonderfully smokey and spiced.
Read morePrevious 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! 🍜🌮🥳

What a gem! - Edit
Had a dinner here a couple of weeks ago and loved it. We got all the goodiness that we wanted: I started off with the ribs (yum!), then had the bulgogi beef cheesesteak (more yum!), and then my wife and I shared the cheesecake (most yum!). The cheese cake is to die for, by far one of the best vegan desserts I’ve ever had!

Very good - a little bit expensive - Edit
It's a cozy place with a wide range of meals. I tried the ben ben noodles and my girlfriend wanted it too but without any spicy which was not possible so she took the dragon noodle. :(
Read moreWe both enjoyed a lot our meals.
I find it a little bit expensive compared to other food from the city.

Restaurant voor herhaling vatbaar, de burger niet - Edit
Was op zich lekker, maar de burger had teveel saus die overheerste. Het had de optionele frietjes echt nodig om de maaltijd uit te balanceren. Personeel was heel vriendelijk. Sfeer is gezellig. Keuze voor tafeltjes is niet heel slim geweest. Door de coating blijft het tafeltje plakken ook als hij net is schoongemaakt.

Pretty nice - Edit
The cheese steak was interesting, love me some good seitan. A bit much but I shouldn't have ordered the fries with it. Overall a great experience
Read moreSoilVeganCafe
Sounds like you had a good time! Seitan can definitely be filling. Next time, maybe skip the fries and save room for dessert! 😄

Incredible - Edit
I don't think there is much to say about SOIL that hasn't already been said. Everything we ate was out of this world. The bitterballen and ribs were our absolute favourites. But honestly everything was spectacular.

This was such a lovely find. I didn't love my laska because I forgot I don't like seaweed!! Service was quite slow when we went. But I did really like the vibe and would go again!

Oops, forgetting about the seaweed can be a bummer! But glad the vibe made up for it. Hopefully, next time the service will be quicker, and you'll find a dish that's more your style! 😊
