A good place to eat with friends.

I recently had the chance to dine at this restaurant and wanted to share my thoughts. Overall, it was a comfortable place to sit, creating a cozy atmosphere for my friends and me. The food was really nice!

The menu isn't overwhelming in size, but I find that to be a positive aspect. It often indicates that the restaurant focuses on quality over quantity. For starters, i had Roti Panisse, which was not only delightful but also free from any disappointments.

Moving on to the main course, I decided to try the "Ultimate no Cheeseburger," and it did not disappoint. The burger was bursting with flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

However, there were a few aspects that prevented me from giving a full five-star rating:

Firstly, the fries were consistently too salty for everyone's liking. Whether intentional or not, this detail impacted the overall enjoyment of the side dish.

While the staff is attentive, they could benefit from writing down customer preferences. Some of us had specific requests, which unfortunately weren't entirely met due to the reliance on memory.

Lastly, the only downside I found was the slightly higher pricing. While the food was undoubtedly delicious, the costs might deter me from revisiting during my next trip to Amsterdam. Despite my enjoyment, I might opt to explore other options next time due to the expenses.

In summary, my experience at this restaurant was positive. The food was generally flavorful, and the fact that everything is vegan is a huge plus. However, there is room for improvement in various aspects, preventing me from being entirely convinced.

A bit disappointing 😕

I had great expectations because of the fabulous reviews, but to be honest the food didn't wow anyone. Some things were overly salty (the french fries that came with the burgers), others were old (the avocado on the tuna tartare). There wasn't a dish that completely wowed us.

The people are very friendly, but unfortunately the service is very slow.

The only absolutely great thing I could mention is the interior and the location.

Pros: Location , Interior design

Cons: Dishes are either too salty or too bland, Very slow

Want to like it, but they make it so difficult

I had high expectations, a little nervous even? - visiting my first all-vegan restaurant. The weather was amazing so we sat outside. The interior is beautiful, outside the shabby chic is a little too shabby, the seating was uncomfortable even..
We ordered the cantaloupe salad and the full English breakfast, along with two glasses of sparking wine and cappuccino.
I was so happy we ordered two drinks per person, because they were sooooo slow… we even skipped ordering desert because it took way too long. Also the waiter wasn’t very friendly and polite, and he looked and acted as if he really didn’t like what he was doing.
The food was okay, but not super special. And prices are very steep.

I was stoked going there, it was a special occasion and we wanted a special restaurant, unfortunately this turned out not to be it…

Managers, if you’re reading this; please elevate your menu as it matched the wonderful interior. Also please hire people who serve with a smile and make sure you have food AND DRINKS on the table. The concept is so great and I really want to love your restaurant, but for now I just don’t.

Mixed feelings

We went here for lunch and the menu reflected that. Typical lunch fare, so salads and burgers, relying heavily on fake meats.

Quality was good, portions good, so overall we were pleased even though it is overpriced. But hey, this is Amsterdam.

Just seems to be stuck in a time loop. 5 Years ago we would have been over the moon to get this. Nowadays most restaurants will be able to serve you this kind of food.

Service was lacking, they took our order readily enough, but disappeared afterwards, so we couldn't order additional drinks and deserts.

So overall... Good choice if you happen to pass by, but wouldn't make a detour to visit.

Excellent food and experience!

After a disappointing experience down the street we were so happy to find the Meatless District! I had the chickn caesar salad and my husband had the chickn pie. Both were flavorful and sizable portions. Excellent service and drink menu. Highly recommend.

Perfect for breakfast, lunch ánd dinner

The full English breakfast was delectable! I was particularly surprised by the scrambled “egg”, which is apparently made of chickpeas. Unlike any vegan egg I’ve ever tasted! The menu offers a variety of delicious-sounding dishes. I can’t wait to go back and try the French toast!

Updated from previous review on 2023-05-14

Pros: Vibey interior, Surprising menu, Great “egg”

Quick service

The Caesar salad was delicious and loaded with vegan chicken, bacon, and yummy croutons. The cheesecake was also delicious. The no tuna tartare was a bit underwhelming but still good.

Pros: Quick service, Fully vegan

Cons: No air conditioning , Felt a bit rushed

Super creative menu with comfort food!

Very nice! Super friendly staff. The food came a bit too quick and we were so full that we couldn’t try the desserts! But we will be back! It definitely is the best faux gras we have ever found in the whole world. Nice drinks and great wines.

Pros: Best faux gras ever!, Super nice staff, Good selection of wines

Cons: Expensive, Too quick, Very filling

Delicious vegan food

We had the Caesar salad which was huge and had a very convincing fake chicken in it and a tasty Parmesan-like topping as well as the Gobi Makhani which was equally tasty but a smaller portion. It was one of our better meals in Amsterdam for sure.

Pros: Great flavors

Cons: A bit pricey

Reinventing meatless food

Menu is rich in flavours, unexpected combinations and fine-dining experience. It’s a great choice for elegant dinner, business meeting, date or evening with friends. You can try there things like vegan foie grais for example, but they will serve a cheeseburger as well😉it’s spacious, but still it’s recommended to book a table in advance. Some options can be gluten free.

Pros: 100% plant based , Elegant place , Good drinks

Delicious food

The Caesar salad is delicious, very filling, just a bit salty maybe. The onion soup is also very good, convinced me to try to make some at home and the cheesecake was light and tasty.

Pros: Delicious food, Large portions

Amazing cheeseburger

The (vegan) cheeseburger was amazing. Sweet potato fries were tasty. Didn't like the pulled jackfruit toast. Though the sourdough bread it was on was good bread.

It was a freezing cold day and the inside was also freezing, had to stay in my coat and put a blanket over my legs.

Also, they charged me one Euro for tap water (as they charge for refilling your tea with more hot water), which seemed excessive.

Still, that was a great cheeseburger, and the server was super nice and helpful.

Not really special

I ate here like two years ago and we were there at a very busy evening. The service was really slow and the choices on the menu were not my taste. I ordered a starter, burger and cakes. The taste and the quality was good, but it wasn’t very special for me. I do see that their menu has changed, so I would give them a second chance.
