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
bottino
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! 😊

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.

Firm favourite - Edit
Update: Still great! The cheezy burger and fries (shared) was a great lunch.
Read moreWe love Soil. The Ben Ben Noodles remain a firm favourite, and we also enjoyed the cod croquettes, smoky aubergine dip and spicy seitan sándwich. Sharing a bunch of starters is usually a winner.
Update! Now in January we've been back to try new dishes. The house-pickled Shii-take were good and my partner liked the kebab starter and (again) the spicy seitan sandwich. I tried the Tonkotsu ramen and it was excellent.
Good wine and service again!

A great lunch with an excellent cheesecake - Edit
I went to Soil expecting a pretty decent meal, and my exceptions were surpassed. The staff were friendly and generous, the ben ben noodles were on point, and the cheesecake was superb. Really, I've had a lot of vegan cheesecakes over the years, and I have to say that theirs is among the best, if not the best. The filling is firm, tangy, and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the crust is flakey and flavorful. Well done, all around!

Super filling and tasty - Edit
I read so many good reviews about SOIL that I had to give it a go. I'm so glad I did! The portions are big and filling. We had pimientos del padrón and eggplant dip for starters, both great. The eggplant dip came with what tasted like burrito/fajitas seasoning, which was an original combination. Then, we had the seitan sandwich (can't remember the name!) and the Bali Beach salad, tropical and tasty. Both were delicious. The staff was super friendly and easy-going, yet professional. I loved the place, too!

Less than what I had hoped for - Edit
Main dish, Ben Ben noodles, was less tasty than what I hoped for. I appreciate the communal seating but it makes that place very loud. With a few drinks that could be really fun but it was hard to talk across the table with my partner. Desserts were better than the main dish.

One of the best vegan restaurant's I've had so far! - Edit
I came here with my wife after seeing the reception it got on HappyCow. She ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice, and I ordered the Ben Ben Noodles. I can confidently say that the noodles are probably one of their specialties, as it was the best vegan noodles I've had. The texture was creamy, had lots of veggies and even included some lemon zest. The fried rice was good too, and worth trying out if you are a fan of fried rice. For dessert, we had the vegan snickers which my wife loved. Would definitely come back here again, and they deserve my 5 star rating.

A little bit expensive but delicious - Edit
We had the ramen and the dragon bowl. Both dishes were very delicious and also kinda special (it’s not what you usually get when you order a bowl or ramen). The staff was also very kind. Only thing: I think for almost 20€ the bowls were too expensive.
