Oh. my. goodness... where do I even start?

I ordered the Crunchy Mac & Cheeze Betterballs, VJFBBQ Heppi Ribs, and Fresh Mint Tea.

CRUNCHY MAC & CHEEZE BETTERBALLS - filled with macaroni & cheese served with VJFB™ sauce.
These beautiful mac & cheeze bites were fried-tastic! The only thing I disliked was that the noodles inside were a bit mushy. I've had mac n cheese bites before where when you bit into the ball and you can actually see the noodles. That gives it an extra texture. If someone just gave me these without reading the menu, I wouldn't have known they were noodles.

VJFBBQ HEPPI RIBS - the world’s first vegan ribs on black/pink bun, lettuce, pickles, crunchy chipstix, sweet VJFBBQ & hot spicy chick sauce.
Oh. my. goodness. Where do I even start with this babe of a sandwich? I arrived in Amsterdam after a few long, confusing train rides from Berlin. After I checked in at the hostel, I headed straight to the Vegan Junk Food Bar. I was hungry and exhausted, but a bite of this sandwich, and I came back to life. I'm not even joking.

It brought me back to the old McDonald's McRib days! However, this was so much better. The rib was oozing with bbq flavorful and was a nice hefty portion. The sandwich was well-balanced with the accompanies of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauce. Also, whoever had the idea to add the chipstix, is a genius! It added a perfect crunch to every bite.

**I wasn't sure if the buns were dyed using natural ingredients or artificial, but they indeed get their pretty color from natural ingredients! sweet!**

FRESH MINT TEA - I loved how simple this fresh mint tea was, literally just mint and hot water. I also enjoyed the little Tony's Chocolonely chocolate treat.

OVERALL - The food was delicious. The atmosphere was fun, inviting, and exciting. I was jamming out with old-school music. Also, the server was friendly, helpful, and kind. Overall, I'm a fan of TVJFB! I took a few points off for the number of paper products they use. Especially for a vegan establishment, it seems like a waste. It's cute for decor purposes, but unless it's repurposed paper, it's not necessary.

To see my visit to the Vegan Junk Food Bar and all of the vegan food I ate in Amsterdam, watch my "eat with me in Amsterdam" video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VrHHkoYKko&t=479s

The color of the buns is produced via vegetable fruit and vegetable extracts.

Great junk food

I visited VJFB in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Roterdam and Barcelona, and it's always worth a visit. It is also perfect for munchies 🙂

I don't know why, but this one is pricier than the VJFB near Vondelpark, but that one doesn't have outside seating.

I recommend to try wingz and shrimpz, or you can take a sumo platter and try that and other finger foods.
If there's an option to try 3 different burgers, I'd recommend to skip that unless you'd really like to, because they are very small, and to me it's better to just take a normal size burger

What more can I say?

Honestly, what more can I say about Vegan Junk Food Bar that isn't in the restaurant's name? It's vegan junk food. It's delicious. If that's what you want, it's truly hard to beat it. This location's outdoor seating is nice and a little bit away from the most intense tourist areas.

Pros: Vegan, Junk, Food

Cons: Not super healthy

Best vegan junk food I ever taste!

Even for your carnivore friends!
Actually, the only thing which does not taste as the meat equivalent is the tonna sashimi: same texture, same color, but not the same taste (even if it’s excellent!)
All the rest have the same taste (including the salmon sashimi).
Also, you’ll be able to taste a delicious craft beer from Two Chefs Brewing which is only sold here😄

Pros: Excellent vegan food , Excellent fake meat, “But, is it really a fake meat?” (Said a carnivore

Cons: Only 1 moktail

Good Junk

I really enjoyed my experience today at vegan junk food bar. The fish sandwich was pretty good, with the burger was wonderful! the bitter Ballin was okay, but the calamari was banging. I would recommend this place. They have Wi-Fi. They also have bathrooms. They offered tapwater and don’t try to charge you for bottled.

Absolutely lush vegan junk food

Burgers and loaded smiley faces were so lush even my non-vegan partner said it was his favourite meal we'd had in Amsterdam. Cocktails were lush too, I had one of the coconut ones and even got a spoon to eat the coconut flesh with!

Pros: Food, Cocktails, Smiley faces

Cons: Bit pricey

Great food but slightly expensive

Food and atmosphere was great, creative menu and not your classic vegan burger place. It was slightly expensive for the portion sizes though.

Wow 🤩

We ordered the appetizer platter - with shrimp and calamari that had amazing flavor and texture! The cod sandwich was mouthwateringly good. The shawarma sandwich tasted like real meat and was enormous. Don’t miss! It was a real treat!

Pros: Friendly service , Amazing food

Great food!

Really good food!

We had the Double Cheezy Smash and the Heppi Ribs, with Crunchy Mac & Cheeze Betterballs.

The burgers were great, but the Betterballs were a showstopper. Would go back just to have them.

We also got a dessert in a jar, which was ok

Pros: Good food, Plenty of seating

Cons: Far from touristy areas

Very good

Went here to let my foreign colleagues try vegan bitterballen, we ended up having dinner here. It was all so good and flavourful although we would’ve love a bit less jalapeño on our Kapsalon and Truffle fries 🍟

The Mocktail was very good as well.
A must try if you are in Amsterdam and travelling with both carnivore and vegans

Colorful and flavorful

Very colorful food and you can also have dutch bitterballen here - fully vegan! I’m giving it a 4 mostly because their mac and cheese bitterballen were delicious

Lives up to the name

You know that friend who's always saying "You're vegan? You must be soooooo healthy!" This is the place you take them to prove them wrong.

The burger was delicious. It doesn't replicate the taste of beef, which I find a plus.
