The Best Restaurants in Amsterdam for Vegetarians

If you ’re looking for a core - innocent repast ( or a lifetime of them ) , rejoice ! Veggie - well-disposed Amsterdam has mother you cover . Sure , as your protein - ram down friends will point out to you , pretty much every restaurant in the city has at least one repast for the meatless … but if you ’re looking for more than an uninspired salad , you need to be a fiddling more choosy about where you ’re commit your branching . And in a metropolis filled with a long ton of leafy options , you should get laid the good of the best … so we went ahead and gather that list for you .

de culinaire werkplaats

Unlike any other restaurant in the metropolis , you ’ll eat artwork here . The changing lineup of 100 % vegetarian multi - course meals is revolutionise by monthly abstract themes , like Amsterdam architecture , Dutch masterworks , or “ the new lightlessness . ” Expect familiar plants served in new forms ( foams , taffies , and more ) with a consistently ethical undertone of fair , sustainable , and animal - favorable sourcing practices . No longer operating on the “ yield what you want ” role model , the five - course of action ( plus amuse - bouche ) “ swish ” choice will go down you back € 45 , and the “ uber posh ” seven - class edition € 97.50 . Expect a similarly structured vino leaning , plus amazingly affordable cocktails flux to match the theme . Do record book in betterment .

Meatless District

formally Amsterdam ’s favorite vegetarian eatery since its June opening ( and ours too ) , the slur , ironically modeled after New York City ’s Meatpacking District , gas a 100 % vegan fare that makes a flora - establish dieting anything but boring . There are breakfast , dejeuner , and dinner options like smash avocado toast with chickenhearted common beet , dukkah , mint , lemon , and study green ; a fried banana sandwich with peanut butter and chocolate spread on spelt gelt ; and pumpkin - filo dough pastry with roast mushrooms , couscous , Solanum tuberosum pick , pomegranate , and apple fruit compote . Regular issue like the Bloody Mary brunch and Meatless Friyay supporter .

De Bolhoed

Before the rush of Modern curtain raising , this loyalist was the Rex of the vegetarian scene . For those with a longer loyalty to sum - free bread and butter , it still is . More hippie than hipster , the “ Bowler ’s Hat ” is full of funky gloss and unfermented spirit – from soups and salads to quiche and a changing batting order of planetary spicy dish . Just keep in mind this spot is cash - only , so witness an ATM to Milk River before you sit down down .

Golden Temple

Kitsch and cozy , the Golden Temple is full of bright ( floor - level ) cushion seating and happy murals inspired by the vegetarian situation ’s Asian and mediate Eastern bill of fare ( the the great unwashed behind it come from a Sikh background ) . The computer menu of smart yield succus “ cocktails ” was always enough to keep us satisfied , but now they have a license to serve wine and beer too . And apparently it ’s Amsterdam ’s previous vegetarian restaurant !

Bar James

The summer ’s other gravid veggie - found possible action is the place across the street from another Thrillist favorite , Walter ’s . So , look good looks and good ( vegan ) food , this meter with an vehemence on surprising sandwiches and vegan direct on classic bar snacks ( with whisky , course ) .

DopHert

The only bad affair about DopHert is that there ’s not one in every neighborhood . The all - daylight vegan café has all the familiar yoghurt , soup , and “ Warren E. Burger ” you ’re craving , plus fresh , flavor - packed twist like lemon - Olea europaea seitan and raw cherry choco succus , all served in a wizard , color - popping setting with a smile . If we have n’t convince you yet , go for the stupidly delicious ( and jaw - droppingly grace ) homemade cake .

De Waaghals

The dewy-eyed yet smart classic café seats just more than a fistful of masses every evening , and serve them reasonably priced seasonal menus of ' pear-shaped - the - world flavors , belong heavy on organic element . Reserve in advance – the home is really , really small .

Betty’s

There ’s no carte du jour : you ’re getting the 24-hour interval ’s three - course surprise ( for € 35 ) . The dessert course is up to you , however , and there ’s a lineup of homemade cake to choose from . Plus you could pick from a leaning of vin naturel wine ( or get the pairing carte for € 18.75 ) . The best part , however , is your boniface , Gido , who will come to your table and describe the food you ’re enjoying in detail , down to the honey farm that issue the sweetness in your sauce . They ’re happy to accommodate other diets , like vegan or gluten - complimentary , too , if you let them have it off in feeler .

Beter & Leuk

The endearing name ( “ better and fun ” ) has an adorable interior to match , stocked with clothes and stuff for the house from indie designers , as well as a vegetarian / vegan / gluten - complimentary menu of soup and sandwiches plus delicious dessert . you’re able to even order it to be delivered . The only bummer is that it only serves breakfast and lunch ( look out for the yoga stratum and walk - in tarot sessions , too ) .

Bolenius

This higher - death industrial plant eater ’s pick was named the Best Vegetable Restaurant of 2015 by theNRC– and who are we to argue ? The menu is key out as “ New Amsterdam cuisine ” and mixes herbs and vegetable grown on - site with spice that the East India Company would have imported back in the day . Last but not least , the décor search like the finest cafeteria on the wine - hump future space stationUtopia .

Café de Ceuvel

position metrical unit on the charmingly disheveled reason of waterside Café de Ceuvel , with all its unabashedly repurposed terrace seats and greenhouse hovering overhead , it should come as no surprisal that its menu is substance - free . Give your local beer pick something to wash down with seaweed Warren Earl Burger , lentil pâté , and pizza baked in the outdoor oven on - site . sport fact : the leafy interior is super - cosy on cooler / surface-active agent days , as well .

Alchemist Garden

Everything here is raw , organic , and gluten - free . Think pesto alimentary paste with zucchini noodle and fresh smoothies , or addict and coconut meat milks ( it also function biodynamic wines ) . And if that name your dieting , you ’ll desire to get here pronto to shop and carry your kitchen cabinets at home as well . wait a holistic experience , with reflection about your aura and all … and long hold back time , unfortunately .

Jacketz

This is a supremelyspecificeatery : you ’re let potato , and you ’re perish to be glad about it . Seriously . The laundry list of baked potato has something for all palates , admit three options for vegetarians ( five if Pisces is in your diet ) like Thai gullible curry or beetroot salad . The construct is bare , but the product is so damn tasty . And not amazingly , so damn filling , too ; only big eaters should taste to undertake more than a half - portion . burden up to the gay terrace when you may and learn the people of West walk by .

De Vliegende Schotel

The interior is the definition of no frills … even , downright dingy . But people add up back to this neighborhood bit with the 80 % vegetarian bill of fare for the healthy - sized portions of salubrious food for a healthy price . The “ vanish knockout ” is full of sweet food made with seasonal Cartesian product . The peanut soup ( like slurpable peanut vine butter ) is a pet , but you ca n’t lose with most of the dishes gathered from kitchens around the world . Wash it all down with constitutional French wine .

De Hummus House

You do n’t have to be vegetarian to get excited about the humus trend going on in Amsterdam . And the Hummus House may very well be the good of the bunch . Do n’t expect your typical supermarket cutpurse here : these hummus dishes are of a softer , warmer consistency , and are a full repast , complete with your alternative of veggie topping . You ’ll find other mediate Eastern favorites , like shakshuka and labaneh here too .

SLA

OK , we come full band back to salads – but these are anything but uninspired . The farseeing list of options , many of which are vegetable - only ( by nature ) , are pricy for bowls of folio and other stuff – but that ’s because the portions are vast and always filling . The locations themselves be given to be pretty , too ( though you’re able to get the solid food give birth or to - go as well).Sign up herefor our daily Amsterdam email and be the first to get all the food / drink / fun in town .
