Set lunch menu - just what we needed! - Edit
Four of us were hungry after the Rijksmuseum, and thoroughly enjoyed the lunch offered at Deshima. The plate comes with little piles of various dishes - you get to taste them all - you don't have to choose. Tasty and varied, without strong spices. Soup is an option, which we all gladly took.

The worst vegan food & service ever! Do NOT even bother! - Edit
We've tried many vegan restaurants in different countries and several in Amsterdam. Sorry to say, but this has got to be the absolute worst one so far. The food is bland, boring, unimaginative and tasteless. The service was zombie-like; also, totally overpriced! Why so many people rave about this place is beyond me. I am not being mean here, just completely honest! You want excellent vegan food? Go to Zest for Life. I've been a regular there for one year now. They are by far the BEST vegan place in Amsterdam & the staff is ALWAYS super-friendly and attentive!
Read morePros: None!
Cons: terribly boring, tasteless, unimaginative food. ex

Rapport qualité/prix excellent - Edit
Je suis allée manger dans l'après midi dans ce restaurant / boutique veg
Read moreLe lieu est charmant, bien situé (à côté des musées)
J'ai pris les sushis (3,5€) qui sont rassasiants à eux seuls et un thé de la maison (2€). Ce seul plat m'a suffit et était très bon !
Je n'ai pas testé le reste des plats mais je recommande pour les petits budgets
De plus, il y a une boutique de produits vegan en bas du restaurant !
Pros: Good food , Good value , Nice vibe

All vegan tiny paradise - Edit
Oh my god. The chocolate cake was amazing. Do try!
Read moreI like to flavor my food a bit more and I cook a lot so I dont think my opinion is that relevant. I had soup of the day, combination of miso and veggies. Not my favorite because of simple flavoring but it was full of nutricious ingredients. They have a little all vegan store downstairs.
Pros: 100% Vegan, Vegan affordable store downstairs, Amazing chocolate cake 😍
Cons: Not much choice on lunch menu

Worth a visit - Edit
Went here for brunch, simple and enjoyable food, found the chalk board a bit confusing, but order at the counter and the food which was very good is brought to your table.
Read moreVegan place located near to the museum district and two iconic Dam music venues.
Would eat here again on my next visit to the city.
Also had vegan cookies....
Pros: Vegan, Clean, Nice staff

Nice service - Edit
I asked for a coffee with extra hot water (to make it thinner), he brought coffee and hot water in different cups so that I could adjust the thickness. It was very kind of him.

Great menu, but not so for breakfast. - Edit
Really liked the place, went there for breakfast at 10:30 but the opening hours are listed for the shop. The kitchen opens at 12.00 for lunch. Because the times listed here said 10, expected to get breakfast but options are very limited, so wouldn't recommend that. Staff was friendly and place looked great. Would return for lunch again if I'm in the area.
Read moreCons: Well... breakfast would be great.

amazing Tiramisu - Edit
The restaurant is situated very close to the Museumsplein where all the famous museums are located. So if you consider to go there, don't miss Deshima. It is also a good starting point for a river cruise as there is a boat stop nearby (close to the Rijksmuseum).
Read moreThe interior is very nice, there are many tables and you if you want you can go shopping right after your meal as there is a small vegan shop added to the restaurant.
You order at the bar.
The staff is really helpful and can inform you about the ingredients of the dishes.
I really liked the Tiramisu which was awesome.
My main dish was unfortunately only half-cooked, so that I could not eat it all
Pros: Tiramisu, location, helpful staff

Rich healthy food - Edit
Little restaurant that serves macrobiotic food. We had the daily menu, which consisted of a very well served plate with small portions of many different dishes, plus a side chickpea and croutons soup, all tasting very good. There is also a organic product shop selling snacks and fresh products. Close to Rijksmuseum.

Lovely place, very tasty and great atmosphere - Edit
The place is just lovely. The people are very nice, balanced and wonderful to talk too. The place as well as the toilet is very clean and hygienic.
Read moreThe food and sweet treats are just wonderful. It tastes amazing and healthy, because it is macrobiotic based and cooked.
The sushi doesn't taste like anything without soy milk though.
But especially the "oil balls" for new years are amazing!
The seating area is spacious and comfortable!
Pros: very tasty and natural, very good atmophere, clean, friendly

Amazing, but expensive - Edit
I am currently on my study abroad so I have been living in a dorm and eating out of a mini fridge, so when I saw that there was REAL vegan food in Amsterdam I wasn't worried about the price. I would've gotten it if it was 25 euro a plate. But, the amount of food I got was a bit small for the 15 euros I paid.
Read moreStill, the food was AMAZING and the staff was extremely friendly. The man explained the menu to us very well and had provided us with great service. I reiterate, the food was incredible.
In my opinion, definitely worth the price, but yes, it is pretty expensive.
Pros: Delicious Food, Great Service, Great Variety
Cons: Expensive

too much fried food - Edit
I'll splurge by eating fried food every once in a while but it better be good tasting fried food like falafel. Eating fried broccoli and fried seaweed is not my thing. I ate lunch here and had the rather expensive lunch special which in addition to fried broccoli and seaweed, included a not so tasty potato mash, slimy seaweed, carrot cabbage salad and plain rice. The plate was small considering the price and the food didn't taste very good. I also tried the veg bean soup which was good but contained fried pieces of bread that gushed with oil when chewed. The blueberry muffin was tasty and they had several other dessert/snack items.

good vegan food. - Edit
I went yesterday for dinner. There was not much left. But what we ate was nice!! We had a seitan samosa and a bean/miso soep. That tasted great. We had a ricepudding/raspberrie pie for dessert, wich was also loveley! The food is good. It is not cheap, but if you want to eat vegan it is a good place to go!! The shop downstairs has a lot of good stuff as wel!!
