Lekker eten! - Edit
Genoeg keuze! Wij hadden het mezze platter voor twee personen. Lekkere smaken, maar niet erg uitgebreid of super bijzonder (bijv. Veel olijven, watermeloen). Wij hadden er met z’n tweeën niet genoeg aan, dat was wel jammer!
Read morePros: Veel keuze, Hele leuke plek om te zitten!
Cons: Prijs kwaliteit kan iets beter! (Voor mezze)

Extremely unique and delicious!! - Edit
Prioritise this place. It has a huge all vegan menu, and it's a big place with various outdoor seating, some on a bridge over the water. The most memorable meal I had in 4 days of constant eating in Amsterdam.

Bij de Ceuvel is alles plantbased - Edit
Bij de Ceuvel hoef je als veganist niet op te letten.
Read moreAlles op de kaart is veganistisch. Er hangt een erg plezierige sfeer, een vakantie gevoel. Het eten is lekker. Wij namen de veganistische lunchplaat voor twee personen.
As a vegan you don't have to pay attention what is Vegan on the menu.
Everything on the menu is vegan. There is a very pleasant atmosphere, a holiday feeling. The food is nice. We took the vegan lunch plate for two people.

Fine vegan food - Edit
A place focused on changing the way we live, using locally produced food, durable houses, energy saving, energy collection, water recycling, you name it, they are actively involved and ahead of the crowd. Trying to find ways to become better in leaving the world cleaner, safer and more equitable than before they came in.
Read moreIt is located at an abandoned shipyard in a rapidly changing industrial area. Most of the various spaces in use are old ships on land.
Serving good food is certainly part of what they do. Locally produced, vegan, delicious. The only thing they have from animal origin is milk, cream and cocoa milk.
Last year De Ceuvel did serve animal food, yet this had a special purpose: these were "unwanted animals", e.g. geese shot at Amsterdam airport. Otherwise no animal food and even this is not around anymore.
Pros: excellent vegan food, nice location, relaxed
Cons: not cheap

Unique place at lovely location next to the water - Edit
This place has a great eco and alternative vibe. It's great for enjoying a coffee or tea and some vegan cake. I can recommend the vegan chai latte. They also have incredibly tasty bitterballen made from mushrooms! Best ones I have had so far. Can get very busy in the evening on weekends.
Read morePros: Great vibe, The vegan bitterballen, Cozy

Cool vibe - Edit
We had nachos as a starter which were super delicious. They had an awesome vegan cheesy sauce on top and were really enjoyable. The main course however was a let down, we each had a black noodle salad which wouldn’t have been our first choice but was the only vegan main on the menu. It was too many different flavours for one dish and we didn’t find it very enjoyable however this could just be personal preference. Overall prices were extremely reasonable if not cheap for dinner in this city, staff were really lovely and the atmosphere in the place was very chill and nice. Would be nice for a few more vegan options or at least another for the main tho but would recommend for maybe a small meal with drinks.
Read morePros: Delicious nachos , Awesome vibe and staff , Reasonable price
Cons: Not enough vegan options , Disappointing main

Sustainability at the Docks - Edit
Just to be precise this place is NOT vegetarian, they do serve a dish with shot duck (they warn you about the possibility of still finding rests of bullets inside) and shrimps. The menu varies often so it might happen that the menu is vegetarian but the place is not. They do care about sustainability though and everything is built with recycled materials. It's a lovely place on water. The atmosphere is relaxed and chilled especially on a sunny day. The menu is a bit limited in general but there is always a vegan option for starter and main. I find that the portions are a bit small and the prices (like mostly everywhere else in Amsterdam) on the high side. All in all it is worth going at least once.
Read morePros: Suistainable, Great atmosphere, On water
Cons: NOT vegetarian, Small portions

Great place, limited vegan options - Edit
De Ceuvel is a special spot in a place of Amsterdam Noord known for being a hub for creativity and (social) entrepreneurship. The atmosphere inside is cosy and welcoming. Only downside is the limited number of vegan options on the menu. We had a Dutch Weed Burger (that you can find in many spots around the city) and a hummus sandwich. Both were good.
Read morePros: Atmosphere, Decent food
Cons: Limited vegan options

Nice place - Edit
When De Ceuvel opened I was told that there'd be vegan options, but when we went there for the first time for dinner there weren't and they offered me a larger portion of the starter salad "without the dressing, the cheese", etc. for the price of a main course. So we left ;-) More recently we called before if there was a vegan option, there was, I made a reservation, and upon arriving there was no reservation for me but fortunately plenty tables. The waiter however told me that there were no vegan options that night, even though I called beforehand. After talking to other staff members it was actually possible (and not even hard, they just didn't have to put cheese on the main course) so this time we stayed and it was good, but you just never really know what to expect here. From a vegetarian place, you'd expect they know what vegan means.
Read morePros: Local beers =), Great initiative, Great atmosphere
Cons: Not always vegan options, Staff nice but uninformed about food
