We had a great all vegan ‘erwtensoep’ (split pea soup) with smoked seitan and the cabbage salad was good too. Nice place to sit by the water

Simply brilliant - Edit
Update: Still good as of February 2025.
Read moreI've eaten here a few times but this latest visit really blew me away. We had almost every dish on the menu, shared between four of us, and loved or at least liked everything.
Favourites were the smoked sauerkraut, pointed cabbage and spicy risotto.
The oyster mushroom bitterballen are always good.
Update from latest visit: still great! And great to hear they have permission to keep going for a couple more years.

Cozy spot - Central Amsterdam Noord - Edit
This is always a cozy and charming spot to meet, whether indoors or on the terrace. In summer, you can take a swim; in winter, you can warm up by the fire. A great place for everyone! Perfect for just drinks or a full meal. Centrally located in Amsterdam Noord. The entire menu is plant-based. Love the hot chili dip!

Atmosphere was nice, friendly staff and good food. We ordered all different things from the menu. I had the erwtensoep (splitpea soup) which was really nice and flavourful. For dessert I had the carrotcake 🥕which was very delicious as well. Would definitely recommend going here!

Good food and very friendly service - Edit
We had a delicious plant-based meal, creative combinations of flavors. This is a lovely place with many local guests. Relaxed and cozy atmosphere. We heard that Cafe de Ceuvel can happily stay at the current location, at least, until January 31, 2027.

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
Cons: The price
