Outstanding service and delicious food

We arrived super early for our reservation since we had finished sightseeing for the day and we were hungry! There was no problem seating us when we arrived because there were some no-shows.

Wait staff was INCREDIBLE and checked up on us often. All of our questions were answered, showing they were knowledgable about the menu, and the food was tasty!

We started with the Chorizo and Cod Fish Croquettes, which we would order again. For our mains, we had the Peanut Butter Curry and Ben Ben Noodles. Both were super flavorful, but I'd be interested in trying other things on their menu, as well. For dessert, we had to have the Vegan Snickers, which is a definite winner. It was an awesome ending to an awesome meal. Will definitely be back if we ever make it back to Amsterdam!

Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, Delicious food, Good variety of menu items

Those Cassava Fries!

A real treat. I loved the cassava fries and the seitan ribs. Awesome meal and reasonably priced. Real comfort food.

Very good - a little bit expensive

It's a cozy place with a wide range of meals. I tried the ben ben noodles and my girlfriend wanted it too but without any spicy which was not possible so she took the dragon noodle. :(
We both enjoyed a lot our meals.

I find it a little bit expensive compared to other food from the city.

Restaurant voor herhaling vatbaar, de burger niet

Was op zich lekker, maar de burger had teveel saus die overheerste. Het had de optionele frietjes echt nodig om de maaltijd uit te balanceren. Personeel was heel vriendelijk. Sfeer is gezellig. Keuze voor tafeltjes is niet heel slim geweest. Door de coating blijft het tafeltje plakken ook als hij net is schoongemaakt.

Updated from previous review on 2024-09-08

Pros: Sfeer, Personeel, Verschillende opties

Cons: Plakkerige tafels, Saus te overheersend

Pretty nice

The cheese steak was interesting, love me some good seitan. A bit much but I shouldn't have ordered the fries with it. Overall a great experience

Sounds like you had a good time! Seitan can definitely be filling. Next time, maybe skip the fries and save room for dessert! 😄

Incredible

I don't think there is much to say about SOIL that hasn't already been said. Everything we ate was out of this world. The bitterballen and ribs were our absolute favourites. But honestly everything was spectacular.

An absolute must visit if you are in Amsterdam.

Great cafe

I had the cod fish croquettes and the dragon noodles. Both were nice but a bit underwhelming in taste.
Still enjoyed the environment and the staff were overly friendly. Would give it a second shot.

Fresh and fabulous

This was such a lovely find. I didn't love my laska because I forgot I don't like seaweed!! Service was quite slow when we went. But I did really like the vibe and would go again!

bottino

06 Sep 2024

Oops, forgetting about the seaweed can be a bummer! But glad the vibe made up for it. Hopefully, next time the service will be quicker, and you'll find a dish that's more your style! 😊

Outstanding flavours

This was the definition of tasty food. The flavours hit us in the face. We loved everything we ordered and the service was quick despite there only being 2 members of staff.

We ordered the mushroom bitterballen, pulled pork tacos, laksa ramen and Ben Ben noodles.

Amazing vegan spot in Amsterdam

The ribs were really incredible! They had real bite and were crunchy on the outside.
We took the dragon noodles and ben noodles. Both were truly inspiring

Cons: Nothing

The kimchi sandwich was simply excellent

I only tried the kimchi sandwich and the bitterbals, but both were great. I can especially recommend the sandwich, is was super flavourful and delicious.
Nice service, a bit overpriced.

Lovely lunch

So I can think of nothing better than having a vegan lunch outside of Soil on a beautiful Amsterdam day. I got the Seitan sandwich and Chandler got the miso salad... and a couple of glasses of wine. Service is fast and friendly, the people watching is good, the food is delicious. What more could you want?

Good food and cozy interior

I had the feeling they were a bit understaffed, because they forgot to bring my water, and didn't really pay attention to me or asked if I wanted anything else, even though there were only a few other people there at the moment. I would have taken a dessert otherwise, but didn't in the end.

The food is amazing! Can't argue that. The portions are a good size. Only negative thing is it is a bit of in its location according to me. But it was worth walking there!

FOMO menu

Crazy good vegan restaurant. Wanted to try everything on the menu, so we have to go back, but the first time we tried a steak and cheese sandwich, various bowls and desserts. The bowls were amazingly rich, fresh and tasty, but for me were lacking some chunks of protein/mushrooms. Desserts were unbelievably good and a lot.

Pros: Rich and fresh dishes, Exciting menu, Pleasant atmosphere

Cons: Bit expensive, Bowls could use more protein

Thanks for the great review! We’re excited to hear you loved the steak and cheese sandwich, bowls, and desserts. We’ll take your feedback about the protein chunks into account. Can’t wait to have you back to try more of the menu!

It was a really nice walk slightly away from the busy central part of Amsterdam. The food is yummy and the staff are super friendly. You can also see their little kimchi library in the corner :)
