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! 😊

Amazing food and friendly, welcoming service - Edit
My mom and I got the miso salad, yukas bravas, chorizo, and mushroom bitterballen and all were incredible! All their options are very creative and it was hard for us to decide what to get because we wanted to try it all. Our server was so friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for vintage markets and activities for the rest of our visit in Amsterdam. I highly recommend Soil West or their other location in east Amsterdam.

Ristorante preferito ad Amsterdam - Edit
Cibo delizioso con buone porzioni: noi abbiamo assaggiato i noodles e il curry. Entrambi molto buoni, anche se il primo un po’ troppo piccante per i miei gusti. La cameriera (che parlava francese, russo e inglese) era simpatica e attenta, ha reso il servizio molto piacevole. Consiglio la prenotazione!
Read morePros: Cibo delizioso, Servizio accogliente
Cons: Piccolo, quindi si riempie facilmente

Wow, grazie mille per la tua recensione entusiasta! Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato il cibo delizioso, in particolare i noodles e il curry. Ci dispiace se il primo era un po' troppo piccante.

Disappointing - Edit
Make sure you plan ahead. Arrived three hours before closing and not only could we not wait for a table but we were discouraged from placing a to go order based on the wait. Our only day in Amsterdam and we won’t have an opportunity to try it…

Sorry for the inconvenience. But we believe our staff just tried to be straightforward with so that you did not have to wait too long and maybe could visit some of the fantastic vegan restaurants in our city. We hope you have a great day in Amsterdam. 🌷

Delicious - Edit
We loved the food here- good healthy comfort food. Will recommend the ribs, chorizo and the peanut butter curry but the consistency of quality was high throughout.
Read moreThe vibe there was also great- nice chilled but quirky look.
At our second visit, things ran a little slow (60 mins for 2 courses) which was annoying but I recognise that it is because things are properly being made.
Pros: Food- taste and portion size, Vibe and atmosphere , Location
Cons: Service could be a little too slow for my liking
bottino
Hell yeah! Stoked you loved the eats, especially those badass ribs, chorizo, and peanut butter curry! 🤘🍴 Cool vibe, though sorry 'bout the wait on round two. We're leveling up, so next time, we'll crush it faster for ya! 🚀✨

A very nice place in an equally nice neighborhood. Friendly service and a good menu. The polled pork hamburger was ok but there was one flavor that overpowered the rest. The Laksa was great. But the best? The Cheesecake!

Such flavorful vegan food like you've never tasted - Edit
Every dish was excellent, marred only by slow service.
Read moreEven my non-vegetarian, non-vegan wife loved the food.
We had the Ben Ben noodles, pulled pork with fries, cheesyburger with fries, apple pie and cheesycake. All were incredible, including their outstanding fries - a must have, if they haven't run out of them.
They can adjust the spice level of the noodles.

Just overpriced - Edit
We landed here without knowing the prices so it was a shock. I had the Ben Ben noodles and my husband the peanut butter curry. My noodles were really tasty, I enjoyed them and thought the gherkin addition was inspired. Three tiny meatballs. My husbands was more like a midweek dinner I would make, but with less tofu. It was fine but worth €18, no. It was lovely and warm inside and the seating was nice. I just wouldn’t come back at that price, even if I was rolling in it.

Sorry you feel that way. Amsterdam prices these days are nuts. We charge what we have to in order to fulfil our responsibilities with suppliers and employees who work hard to deliver the food you seemed to have enjoyed.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I did learn that Amsterdam is now the most expensive city in Europe. I enjoyed my dish but my husband’s was distinctly average, as mentioned in my review, which affected the overall score.

Nice place - Edit
Cool atmosphere, served late, the burgers were good and original but really too spicy and it was not precise. The spiciness took up too much space compared to the other flavours of the burger. The team is great and friendly. On the other hand the prices are too high.
Read morePros: Huge portions , Creative
Cons: Too spicy we cried 😭, Expensive
bottino
Appreciate your feedback! 🌶️ Sorry about the spice overload in the burgers, but we've taken note. Glad you enjoyed the cool atmosphere and found the team friendly. Thanks for pointing out the price concern, inflation sucks. We've made adjustments and, starting now, spice levels are mentioned on the menu for clarity. Hope to have you back for a tastier experience! 😊🍔🌟

Clean, friendly, AMAZING FOOD
Read moreThe wine was delicious
Pet a Frenchie dog!!
Blister shishitos are my new fav thing and the ribs have a nice burnt top over an oven smoked faux rib meat texture - the bbq sauce was a lovely tangy sweet
The curry was lemony and fresh- the smoked tofu bites were a tasty addition. Different flavor mixture
The Ben Ben noodles have a nice spice and they add a little chili crisp for a spicier profile.
The meatballs were delicious without a faux meat after taste

Gave it a try but left disappointed - Edit
Even though this place gets mixed reviews, the menu intrigued me enough to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was rather disappointing. The food is not bad but the portion size was small for the price they ask for it. The kimchi fried rice was good but the other dishes we ordered were only so so. The restaurant itself looks nice but there wasn't a great atmosphere when we were there.
Read moreAll in all, I would not really recommend it since I think there's nicer spots in Amsterdam.
Pros: Fully vegan cafe
Cons: Small portion size for the price, Not a great atmosphere
bottino
Sorry we slipped with you. Although we typically hear that our portions are quite big we understand that this might not be the case for everyone.
