Nice place - Edit
The restaurant has nice but really small terrace. They have a selection of vegetarian and vegan food. We tried the quiche (not vegan) and the croissant ragout (vegan). They were both really good. I asked for the croissant with salad but it was a mistake as I thought it would be a side salad but no, it was a huge plate of vegetables, rice and corn and I was already filled after my croissant...

Interesting place - Edit
They have an interesting menu, a mix of plates from several plates. I tried both the udon noddles and the vegan pasta (which was more like a lasagna) and they were both amazing.

Delicious - Edit
Really lovely food, I had the mixed vegan platter which had a selection of different dishes on one plate. The only downside was it was a tad expensive for what you got.

delicious! - Edit
Delicious and a lot of options! Ordered the meal of the day, which was a large plate full of different things. Also a lot of vegan dessert options (pie!!). My non-vegan friends like to go here too because of the vegetarian options (all though I would love it if they were 100% vegan ;))

An old favourite of Amsterdam - Edit
De Bolhoed is a pretty unique place, a bit of the Amsterdam of yesteryear still alive and kicking. It's a kind of hippy place with a homemade and relaxed atmosphere. The staff and the ambience are totally alternative which is extremely rare nowadays in the old centre. The food is good, wholesome and well cooked but for me it's horrendously overpriced. €18 for the mixed plate is just crazy, even in the canal ring. If they took their prices down a little I would be in here the whole time, but as it stands I don't want to pay that kind of money for what is basically the kind of food you can buy in a health food store. Shame though, other than that it's a really great place.

Good daily vegan platter - Edit
I went twice and had the vegan plate both times.
Read moreIt was tasty the first time and tasty the second time.
Both times I was disappointed when the food came, but as soon as I taste it.. I change my mind!
They know how to make rice and veggies tasty.
It is a bit overpriced (18 euro's) when you think about it, but delicious nonetheless. Especially since they don't provide table service outside(they do bring you your food, but ask you to wait for your drink when ordering at the bar so you can take it with you yourself).
I love the hippie vibes, but it's not for everyone haha.
Pros: daily changing vegan platter, laid back, outside terrace
Cons: no outside service, a bit overpriced, toilet wasn't too clean

Many vegan and vegetarian options. The vegan sample plate with small portions of several dishes was great and very filling. My family enjoyed the quiche and Mexican dish as well. A great dinner!

Delightful - Edit
We had a delightful dinner here. At first I thought the daily vegan special menu had a lot of entrees to choose from. It runs out that each they are all included on the plate. Each item could have been the basis of a substantial meal though, so this was a pleasant surprise. My plate that day included a lovely tofu-sesame strudel, a nice mushroom with chestnuts, quinoa pilaf, red lentils and endives. It was imaginatively prepared and very well done.

Old school vegetarian restaurant - love it. - Edit
Food is always good. They've increased the vegan options over the years, without jumping on the hipster vegan food hype. So expect some wholesome, hearty wel prepared food with lentils, bulgur, seitan etc. Oh, and they have the fluffiest red cat :)

good location, nice dinner - Edit
Located in a very good location for tourists. I chose this restaurant because it was close from our hotel. By the time we entered, half the tables were reserved (Sat. 6 pm). Some baby chairs. As written in other reviews, the interior is a little worn down and it looks a little not- so-clean, but the food was good. I had the Vegan dish of the day(17 euro), and it was warm, unique and very tasty. I became very full and couldn't have dessert, but there were varieties of desserts and so I'd like to try them next time.

Lovely experience - Edit
I ate here twice in the one day it was so nice. Really great food, really friendly workers, beautiful/individualistic decor and pleasant atmosphere. Its located in a great area (close to anne frank house) and is easy to find. The service was a little slow, specifically in evening when it was very busy, but not too bad. The owner’s cat also wonders around the place and is very cute. :)

Tasty food and central - Edit
A small restaurant which is a stone throw's away from Anne Frank's house. Very central. Food was tasty and fresh and I was glad that it also satisfied my non-veg friends. Will visit again if I happen to be in Amsterdam.

Great Vegan Dish of the Day - Edit
We always have a great meal in de Bolhoed but be prepared to wait. Service is slow but they prepare everything fresh and it is well worth the wait. The vegan dish of the day is always good, without fail. The portion size is HUGE, so make sure you are really hungry when you go! Also, try and save a bit of room for dessert, they are yummy too. In busy times, be sure to call ahead and make a reservation.
Read morePros: Vegan dish of the day is always good, Desserts are yummy, Beautiful ginger cat is usually hanging around

Quirky setting, nice food - Edit
Staff were friendly in this slightly quirky restaurant. Be prepared to wait for your food as they make everything from scratch for you. Plus side is you know it's fresh but downside is you have to distract yourself with drinks instead! The food was nice. If you're looking for something great or for a smart veggie restaurant, this isn't necessarily for you but it's good grub in a cafe setting.

Great Food - Edit
We at there in May 2017 and had a great meal. The "salad" was actually an assortment of composed salads - lots of food but delicious. I had a lentil soup that was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious. We didn't order any wine or beer because the price of the food was high. We didn't order dessert because we were very full after the meal. We were there for dinner, and staff was attentive enough. The place had a cool, laid back vibe that we liked.
Read morePros: Delicious vegan food
Cons: Service wasn't fast, but hey, it's Europe.

Cool place - Edit
A perfect spot for some food and warm drinks after doing groceries at the Noordermarkt. Located in one of Amsterdam's most important canals, it has a kind of alternative vibe. Still, it's very welcoming for every type of people. Staff is friendly, except for their grumpy (yet beautiful) cat!
Read moreWe've only been there for lunch or snacks and always liked it. You can get a sandwich (with salad) or a salad plate from their salad bar. Besides, their fridge is full of delicious cakes (most of them vegan and some gluten-free).
Pros: Location & atmosphere , Sandwiches are great value for money, Delicious cakes

rude!!!!!!!! - Edit
I don't think I've ever been treated so poorly. As soon as I walked in they didn't acknowledge me. (Is it because it's only a sit down restaurant and no take away?). The girls just stood there talking to one another. Looked at me... and continued their conversation. When someone finally asked if I needed help, I asked if I could pick up some vegan desserts. And she said "I'm busy right now I'll be back". (Weren't busy a min ago!). When she came back I asked what was the most popular vegan dessert and she said impatiently "I don't know, you just pick". Then I pointed to a dish and asked what that one was, cos it didn't have a label. All she said was "that's not available for take-away". Thanks for being the rudest b--- I have ever encountered. Left empty handed. Vegan desserts didn't look that appetizing anyway. I'm also not one to say no to vegan desserts AND write a review. I also love supporting places that offer vegan food. But that b---- ticked me off so much, this establishment doesn't deserve my business!! STAY AWAY!!! Why can't I rate this resto a 1??!

Good vegan options - Edit
Got the soup and salad, was expecting a light lunch, but left with a huge food baby. Salad plate had 4 different salads on it (lettuce salad, cauliflower salad, Indian chickpea salad, and barley mushroom salad, and asparagus wrapped in eggplant bacon). Cute, hippy-like atmosphere!

Nothing for small budget - Edit
To cut it short: Very goog food, very friendly service but also very expensive.
Read moreI had a special menu that was an assembly of several dishes on a large dish. Good and tasty food, high quality and fresh ingredients. You feel satisfied more or less, but that's for 17,50€. Sure, it's Amsterdam, but for one dish that's still steep. Also, the beer (for 3,25€) was a really tiny one.
THe venue is great, I love the decor, even if everything is a bit old. It's just a feel-good-atmosphere.
The staff was very friendly and helpful!
Notable range of vegan sweets (also expensive though).
Typical Dutch tiny, tiny WC. No WiFi.
Haven't seen any cats.
Pros: good and tasty food, lovely decor, awesome service
Cons: pretty expensive, scary WC, no WiFi
