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

Expensive and small portions - Edit
Nice, cozy looking restaurant but thats about it. Understaffed on a saturday night, forgetting our tap water at the end on our dinner (we've bought plenty of other drinks before said tap water). The food was expensive and the portions were small. My jackfruit burger contained more cabbage than jackfruit and the brioche was thin, didnt fill up at all. The fries were also meh and that portion was small aswell. There are plenty of other, better restaurants to find in Amsterdam. At least the apple pie was good and was a large chunk (and more filling than my jackfruit burger). I wont visit again.

Interesting menu - Edit
Many reviewers mentioned the “Ribs” so I really want to try it. I definitely need something else to balanced it a bit. I decided on the Tonkotsu Ramen.
Read moreThe “Ribs” came in a whole pierce like a steak. But it tasty and good texture. The ramen broth was good but the mushroom has a bit acidic and bitter taste to it. I think they might had marinaded in vinegar and somehow turned bitter. Another possibility is the mushroom is the same preparation as the bitter mushroom balls. Anyway, either way, I didn’t care for it. I love mushrooms because of their earthy taste.
Pros: 100% Plantbased
Cons: Didn’t live up to the hype for me
bottino
Thanks for giving us a try and sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the "Ribs" but sorry to hear about the unexpected bitterness in the mushroom. We appreciate your detailed feedback and will look into refining that aspect. If you decide to join us again, we'd love to make it an even better experience for you.

Good food and relaxed atmosphere - Edit
This place has a nice vibe and friendly staff. Most foods are tasty, but some are only so-so.
Read moreOur favourites are peanut butter curry, cheezy burger, kimchi burger, ribs and cheesy steak sandwich. The ben ben noodles was creamy, but too salty and the meatballs a bit dry. The yukas bravas were quite good, although a bit plain if it weren’t for the toppings. The cod fish croquettes were good, but the mustard sauce was too dominant. I would’ve preferred a milder sauce.
We tried the cheezy cake twice and once it was great, while the other time it was a bit sour. The apple pie was very good as well and so was the snickers (although very heavy).
The only thing we wouldn’t recommend is the pulled pork burger, because the jackfruit was too soft and the flavour a bit bland.
bottino
Thanks a bunch for the deets – your vibes mean the world to us! 🌍✨ So glad you're loving the nice vibe and friendly crew – that's how we roll.

Food was good!! - Edit
Took my non-vegan family here and we all enjoyed the food a lot. Especially the cheesecake was a hit 🥰
Read moreOnly downside was that we did not get our food at the same time. One of the starters took a while & very shortly after we got the mains. A little messy, but nothing to complain about really.
Pros: Unique food options, Cute atmosphere

Great food and service in a pleasant place - Edit
This vegan café offers a wide variety of tasty food. I've tried their vegan ribs, which are a real treat, their cheesy burger, which is very satisfying without being absolutely original, and their cheesecake, which is one of the best I've ever had. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the place is very pleasant. I'll be back with great pleasure to try the other dishes, which seemed to taste just as good!

Vegan, local and seasonal - Edit
Soil put emphasis on vegan food, which is seasonal and locally produced. We tried the bitterballen, they were made out of mushrooms and were very good! I had also the Reuben Burger with Tempeh and homemade Kimchi on a Sourdough bun. The Kimchi was very spicy, but all in all it was delicious! As a dessert we tried the cheesecake, also very good!
Read moreI also liked that they make their own fermented food you can see in the restaurant on a big cupboard.
For me it was a bit expensive, but I think it was worth it.
For me it was not possible to make a reservation online. At the end I called them, then it worked.
Pros: Homemade Kimchi, Friendly service , High quality food
Cons: Music a bit too loud, Expensive , Reservation didn’t work on the Website
bottino
Love your vibe at Soil! 🌱🍔 Bitterballen and Reuben Burger with spicy Kimchi—delicious! Cheesecake seals the deal. Noticed our fermented goodies? Cheers! We get the price point, but glad it's worth it. Hit us up for a spot next time! 🌿🍽️💚
