Great vegan place

Super nice restaurant, very pretty, good atmosphere and the food is amazing. We had jackfruit as a starter and the md burger as our main course and the seitan burger tasted very very delicious and different to usual vegan burger

Amazing burger and chips!

My husband and I came stay to MD as soon we got off the plane. We both had the cheese burger with chips and we were amazed! The burger was full of flavour and the chips were thick, full and crispy. We went back the night after but was too late and the kitchen had closed. We are visiting Amsterdam in two weeks and it's going to be our first of many visits again! We are hoping they do take out!

Pros: Amazing menu, choice of food and quality of food., Friendly staff and chefs, very welcoming., Lovely atmosphere, warm and inviting.

Amazing flavours

We went for dinner on a saturday, luckily we had enough warm clothes to sit outside since we didn't make a reservation beforehand! The staff was very helpfull and the food was amazing! We ordered the Amsterdam Fried Cauliflower as a starter to share, the Ceasar salad as a main and the Summer bowl! My boyfriend isn't vegan, but he claimed that it was the best Ceasar salad he had ever had!

MUST GO

Perfectly wonderful place! We went for the Cauliflower Steak and Sunshine bowl, which were both saturated with beautiful and surprising flavours. Very friendly staff, pleasant interior and overall great service! We had a delightful experience at the Meatless District and recommend every vegan (and glutenfree!) food-lover to pay a visit.

the cake is to die for!

I went there for lunch, no reservation. I ordered the MD Burger with cheese, which is maybe a bit expensive but really delicious. The chocolate Brownie with Peanutbutter-cream was to die for! I will dream about it for the rest of my life 😂
The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I can only recommend this restaurant! :)

Not blown away

I was there very early (16:45) and they were not serving the full menu yet, just snacks (16:00-18:00 is snacks and dinner starts at 18:00) . Everything was very good but also pretty pricing and the service was bad. We sat outside and the seating was very uncomfortable. Most tables were also already reserved and we had to go inside multiple times to get service. If you don't come here while in Amsterdam then it's not a big deal.

Pros: good selection , good ingredients , nice plating

Cons: expensive for what you get, inattentive service , bad seating outside

Good food

I went at lunchtime on a Sunday and didn't book (unlike the other reviewers) and it was fine.

I had a soup and the pancakes, both of which were tasty.

Pros: Vegan

Tasty AF

This was worth every eurocent: tasty food, very sophisticated presentation and lots of choices. The staff was really nice, funny and made our visit even more better.

Here you don't come and 'grab a bite', at Meatless District you dine. Highly recommended! It's a very popular place, so make sure you make a reservation.

My friend has a nut allergy. Unfortunately for her there was no cake without nuts.

Pros: An upscale place with trendy atmosphere, Staff is really good, The food off course

Goodlooking yet very expensive for tasteless junk..

We walked for hours in Amsterdam and then...finally we found it! But...the lady came and said "you need a reservation here"... jeezes what??? NOT AGAIN?
A few words later she let us in untill 19u. We can't eat not longer than 1 hour. And we need to wait untill the kitchen is open to.? So we wait and wait and have some drinks. No problem, 1 hour, long enough for us. We ordered a popular hamburger with 'friet' and I order the jackfruit and burger. Never have jackfruit B4. The lady said this would be to much food jackfruit and burger? Really? After opening the kitchen we didn't have to wait very long. Great there it is....! The food looks stunning! But as soon we start to eat, we both feels a dissapointing. The food is almost tasteless? Not bad as junk but not great for a business like that? For that price it's tasteless. And we are not difficult in food! The only thing that taste great was my beer and the mustard sauce. Chef pls add some spice in it it's not a job but your passion! The jackfruit was ok but that thing underneed? Uncuttable tough, dried and tasteless. We've paid to many for what we get. The burger and jackfruit was not to much. Speachless dissapointed. As we've read the comments below I think most veganpeople doesn't know what really tastefull food is this days. They are happy as soon it's vegan... I'm happy if it is vegan and tasty together and when it has a normal price! Sorry DISSAPOINTED.

Pros: Nice looking business, friendly., Vegan fastfood food., Friendly.

Cons: Food was dissapointed tasteless., Very expensive., Need reservations ,kitchen is partly open.

incredible food, slow service

We went here two nights in a row while visiting Amsterdam because the food was so incredible we had to go back. Service was slow both nights so 10-15 minutes would pass sometimes after we finished a course or drink before we would have someone come by so we could order another. But food is incredible and the limited cocktail list featuring Gin and Tonics had some solid choices with thoughtful garnishes and balanced flavors.

Pros: good food

Cons: slow service , reservations recommended

Fancy

This is a vegan restaurant that focuses a lot on the food presentation as well as the taste. I had great conversations with the staff from all over the globe. It's right next to the trendy Jordaan neighborhood and I hope to return to MD some day - everything about it was delicious.

Délicieux et trendy

Nous n'avions pas réservé et il ne restait que deux tables à l'intérieur , un dimanche soir. Terasse sur rue animée. Les portions étaient généreuses... Malheureusement trop pour nous permettre de goûter à la variété des desserts!

Pros: Variété du menu, Fraîcheur , Décor

great customer service

Very friendly accommodating staff. We got in without a reservation, and they were very flexible in getting us a table. Our order was mixed up during a busy night, but then gave us a dessert on the house to make up for it. Very pleased with our meals and impressed by staff!

Great place

Really nice place! We came here without having a reservation. The staff was really friendly and managed to squeeze us in even though all tables were booked. The burgers were good although they could fine tune the recipe a bit. The french fries and sweet potato fries were excellent. The drinks were simple but tasty. The atmosphere was was well balanced and urban.
Overall we are really happy with both the atmosphere and the staff as well as the taste and presentation of the food and drinks. Recommended!

Closed early 3 nights in a row

I don't recommend coming here for dinner. I tried eating here my first night in Amsterdam but it closed an hour earlier than the time posted. The second night, we called ahead to make sure they were still open and to let them know we were coming. They said the kitchen was staying open, but they refused to serve us when we arrived. This time they closed an hour and a half before the posted time.

I was able to try a dessert on my last night and it was quite dry. The hostess was annoyed and rude. Tried eating here a total of 3 times because of the great reviews and never succeeded.

Cons: Service, Closes earlier than posted times

Good food and service

We stopped by here on a Thursday night without a reservation. A waitress told us that we could eat in the waiting area (which apparently some people had chosen to do), but we said we didn't mind waiting for a table. Even though she told us it would be about 45 minutes, we luckily were seated in about 15 minutes at a high top table with stools, which we liked because it was near the window for good people watching. Since it was very busy that night, service was a bit slow, but we didn't mind as we weren't rushing to get anywhere. We ordered drinks and the lentil appetizer. My gin and ginger ale drink was amazing! My husband also likes his Dark and Stormy (rum and ginger beer). The lentil app was just ok for me in the beginning but it grew on me as I ate it. It definitely was a beautiful dish. My husband ordered the cauliflower steak, which was delicious, but be aware that it's spicy. I ordered the burger and fries (which were a little over-fried). The burger, though, was quite tasty and huge. I could only finish half of it. All in all, we are glad we tried this restaurant and would definitely go again.

It's Ok

My boyfriend liked his plate, although pretty simple; an avocado sandwich, then he also had fries with vegan mayo which tasted really nice. I ordered a salad which was inside a mason jar, because I thought it sounded different, but in reality its just not as good as eating a salad in a salad bowlplate. the salad was OK nothing to write home about. there doesn't seem to be a lot of passion in their cooking.

Pros: Good fries and mayo

Cons: Place lacks personality

Beautiful.

We took a non vegan friend for dinner and he absolutely loved the place and the food! This is great on lots of levels, not least the fact that we think this is definitely one the best vegan venues in
Amsterdam, so to be able to share the MD love is a beautiful thing.
Food, service, vibe - all perfect!

Pros: Great menu which changes regularly, Super warm welcome , Comfortable layout / chilled atmos

Cons: None.

Pretty good

Went here for dinner on a tuesday night, place was pretty full but they could still get us a table, which was very nice. We ordered drinks first. My friend(who's not vegan) ordered an iced tea which contained honey?? While the menu said the place was 100% vegan...! We also ordered food, my 2 friends and me ordered a burger (sweet patato/patato fries included!!!) and my other friend a cauliflower steak. The burgers and fries were so GOOD, really amazing, the cauliflower steak was very spicy, which it didn't say on the menu. As dessert 2 of my friends had a chocolat fudge cake which was pretty good, and me and my friend had a chocolat/coffee/banana/pistachio parfait which costs €7,50 but really tasted like a smoothie with banana and cocoa so not really amazing. For the four of us we paid €100 euros for drink, main dish and dessert which is an okay price! Would go there again maybe for lunch, but wouldnt order the parfait again..lol

Pros: Reasonable portions(burgers) , Okay price

Cons: HONEY???, Not the nicest staff, Some dishes expensive

very nice dinner

We went on Saturday dinner and the place was almost full.

We had Soup for starter, fried broccoli and Gnocchi for main course. All werme delicious and the portions were enough to fill our hungry stomach.

There was one baby high chair, for those who wants to go with baby.

great vibe, looks lovely, fab staff

Very busy but they squeezed us in.staff absolutely lovely and didn't wait too long for food. Burger and chips were ok- the artiest ketchup smudge we've had yet; gnocchi looked amazing, but lacked taste or acidity, unfortunately- could've done with some salt and nutritional yeast in the cooking and it would've been very good. But pricey for the quality of food, but more than worth it for atmosphere and lovely buzz.

Pros: buzz, staff
