Addictive - Edit
The "Vegan Junk Food Bar" is famous in Amsterdam. The concept is in fact so popular, that it grew from just 1 to 7 restaurants in record time. This is because the Vegan Junk Food Bar is not about health, but about easy palatable food and traditional Dutch snacks. The Vegan Junk Food Bar so is popular that even at lunch time on an off season, rainy Tuesday is was packed.
Read moreWe wanted to try a bit of everything, so we ordered a "Flamboyant Shrimpz Caesar" salad, a "Mc Kroquet" hamburger and a serving of so-called "Betterballs". The salad was crunchy and tasty, with enough dressing to make it tasty. Yet not so much that it gets oily or fat. The same goes for the burger: the patty was tasty and rich, yet nothing was too oily or overwhelming.
The "Betterballs" are a play on words on Dutch "Bitterballen". The original consists of slaughterhouse waste (animal parts no one wants to buy) ground to a pulp and seasoned to taste. We ordered the vegetable version of this and it offers exactly the same "mush" in a crunchy ball shape as the original. Even the spices are exactly the same, so one could easily fool a meat eater with this.
And that's the whole ideal behind the Vegan Junk Food Bar: all the instant gratification and strong taste of junk food, but in a vegan version. Even the nutritional value is the same: an hour later I felt like eating again!
Pros: easy, palatable food, cheap, great place to fool/convert meat eaters
Cons: no Dutch is spoken. Menu and service in English, felt hungry an hour later, very busy place

Hi chlorine,
Read moreWe are really glad you enjoyed our food. However, we are also sorry to read that you experienced our food as expensive. The reason for this is due to the fact that we develop, produce and distribute our key ingredients ourselves which makes it sometimes more expensive than average. Nonetheless, we thank you for your review and hope to see you soon again!

Love it - Edit
Update: Had to remove one star because sadly last time we went there we were completely ignored for about 10 minutes and then left. The same had happened to another couple who left a bit before us.
Read moreIf you want good vegan junk food and friendly service in De Pijp this is one of the best choices.
Service is always attentive, and it's one of the cleanest places in Amsterdam. They were also the only ones who checked QR codes when it was mandatory. Makes me feel safe that they pay attention to other hygiene regulations as well.
However, I'm not happy they replaced the sweet potato fries with smiley fries.

Good option for trying vegan - Edit
We had the sumo plate to try as many things as possible. We were able to try the local bitterballen (called betterballen here) shrimp and calamari, the last two had a consistemcy so close to the real thing that it was nearly disturbing. We got an assortment of sauces, vibrantly coloured in the colours of the store, we didn't like the sauces as much, they were all on the sweeter side and the colour was confusing. The store is very vibrantly coloured and decorated, it's cute but it was a bit much for me.
Read moreI think it's a great option for people who are new to veganism or people who miss "the real thing"

Good - Edit
I just got a drink and a couple of appetizers, so I can’t speak to the burgers. The food was good, but the portion sizes were a little underwhelming relative to the price. I also ate at their downtown location, which I thought had a better vibe and somewhat better service. Still no major complaints though and I would go again.

Vegan junk food bar serves rather bland foods, the dishes are really standard and the buns are very dry. Everything is oily up to the point were it feels heavy on the stomach and it is very expensive. Also the staff is usually uninterested
