Excellent food, fair price, wonderful project - Edit
Great food! The serving sizes were a bit on the small side, but the reasonable prices allowed for desserts and drinks which made up for it. Either way, immensely happy this project exists and that I could come support it.

Great vibes and food - Edit
I came here with my coworker and his wife who are omnis but veg curious. They loved it! The lemon risotto in particular was a hit, but everything was good. The location is right on the water and the decor reminds me of the hip neighborhoods in Berlin. This is a great place for groups.

Amazing - Edit
Cosy place, they have a cat, friendly staff, and unique fancy menu. A bit expensive if you want a quick bite, but ideal for a date or if you have something to celebrate. If you take a full meal, one drink and desert you should expect to pay between 30 and 50 per person. But I highly recommend to check it out. Will try to visit again this week for the fried mushrooms.
Read morePros: The food is amazing and high quality, The staff is very friendly, The place is cosy and eccentric

The oyster mushroom bitterballen are always good.

Cafe De Ceuvel - Edit
Cool place! A good midway point between Eye and STRAAT if you’re on foot.
Read moreBean Stew was good but the portion could’ve been bigger and would be better if the bread was toasted.
Non-vegan friend had the Bapao and a Cappuccino and he really enjoyed both.
Chocolate Brownie was insanely good. Dense, rich, and extremely chocolatey. One of the best I’ve ever had.

Hidden gem - Edit
The Café is in Nord Amsterdam located directly at the water. The location is very nice, you can sit on the terrace near the water, but it is also
Read morevery nice and cosy inside. We came for lunch and had filled bao buns with salad and a dip, a juice and later hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was very good! Also the cakes and the dinner menu sounded very good!
It is a place to sit for longer, enjoy the time and talk. They have also board games you can take.
I wouldn’t have found this place without Happy Cow but I am glad that we made our way out there, it was definitely worth it!
Pros: Nice location, Friendly and attentive service, Delicious food!
Cons: A bit further away from the center

Calm spot for lunch - Edit
As we were staying north of the river this was on our list of places to stop, and it did not disappoint.
Read moreAfter a walk around the village and reading a little about the history and ethos we stopped for lunch.
It was raining (a lot) but the big shelter meant we could still sit outside and the soup and warm alcoholic apple juice kept me nice and warm.
If I had more time in Amsterdam I would definitely have visited again.
Pros: Fully Vegan, Easy QR code service , Amazing soup
