Outstanding service and delicious food - Edit
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.
Read moreWait 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

Thanks a million for the rave review! 🌟 Super stoked you enjoyed the outstanding service and tasty treats. Kudos for being early birds – glad we could hook you up! 😊

Pretty nice - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Love to hear SOIL getting that kind of love! Glad you enjoyed the bitterballen and ribs—those are definitely fan favorites. Come back anytime, there's always more to try! 😎

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!

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! 😊

Lovely lunch - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

FOMO menu - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Rich and fresh dishes, Exciting menu, Pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Bit expensive, Bowls could use more protein
bottino
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!

Best food on our trip - Edit
Did a Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam trip and Soil was the food highlight. This place was amazing! We started with the rib’s which were top notch. I had the ramen and absolutely loved it. Just the right amount of kick and killer flavor. Husband had the dragon noodles which were excellent. Apple pie for dessert was the best I’ve ever had. We tried a different vegan restaurant for dinner that was decent, but went back here for more ribs to go because they were that good. Can’t recommend it enough.

Wow, thanks for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that SOIL was the highlight of your trip. So glad you enjoyed the ribs, ramen, dragon noodles, and especially the apple pie. It’s great to know you came back for more! We can’t wait to welcome you again on your next visit.
