Wirklich lecker und gemütlich

Das Meatless District ist komplett vegan und bietet ein gemütliches Ambiente zum Abendessen an. Wir waren zu zweit und haben jeweils zwei Speisen zum Teilen bestellt (jeweils drei werden laut Karte empfohlen). Wir haben das Essen sehr genossen und sind gut satt geworden.
Es lohnt sich, wenn auch spontan, online zu reservieren, da das Restaurant sehr gut besucht ist.

Clever, well prepared, and delicious

Terrific menu with a lovely, diverse set of plant-forward offerings. Loved the watermelon sashimi in particular, but everything was tasty.

Really good food and service

Really didn't know what to expect but I liked it a lot. I was surprised by how good the food was! I tried the tomato lox, gochujang cauliflower, jackfruit tacos, celeriac, and oyster mushroom skewers. Staff was also very friendly and quick. I liked that the food came when it was ready, as it's much more efficient than bringing it all at the same time. At first I thought I'd have to order more as some of the portions seem quite small, but I actually overate even though I have quite a bit appetite.

Pros: Very good food, The food was filling, Nice interior

Cons: Cobwebs inside

Cool place, nice service and great food

Visited in 2024

Went there for lunch. The service was great and very nice! The place looked very modern but not uncomfortable. The food is a little bit pricy but very tasty and not to small.

Pros: Taste, Service, Atmosphere

Sitio chulo

Me gustó bastante el sitio, amplio y estéticamente está chulo, y me atendieron sin problema incluso llegando poco antes de cerrar la cocina (la costumbre de horarios en España, sorry jeje). Me pedí un par de miniburgers y estaban riquísimas.

Pros: El local está muy bien., 100% vegano

Cons: Un poco lejos del centro., Podría tener una carta más amplia.

Quite classy place with good food

This place is semi-chique and offers European cuisine. Great for an intimate dinner or a relaxed lunch.
The staff is always nice and the service level is good during off-peak hours.
They offer an early-bird discount on food when you book an early dinner (starting time 17.30-18.00). I don’t know if it’s also valid for spontaneous visits, but you can ask.
Please be aware that the toilet can only be reached via a small stair.

I tried several items and most of them were good and some were only allright. They have an extensive menu of alcoholic beverages and their cocktails are tasty and pretty. Check my pictures for my experiences with their foods an drinks.

Leuke plek; ene gerecht lekkerder dan de ander

Hier meerdere keren geweest. Een aanrader! Hapjes delen is leuk! Maar ook een prima burger. Reserveren van te voren is handig.

Pros: Shared dining

Great sharing food

We've been here quite a few times over the years and it's still great. They now offer many small dishes for sharing and their advice to have three dishes per person was good.

We had: smoked aubergine dip (the bread was fantastic), tomato lox (fantastic), king oyster scallops with caviar (good but would be better served more simply without the bacon and puree), bitterballen (decent), smashed potatoes (very good) and roasted cauliflower (wonderful, but strangely named given there's hardly any cauliflower and lots of lovely mac and cheese).

We also tried a carrot margarita and that was surprisingly well balanced and tasty.

Pros: Sharing several dishes , Great food , Interesting drinks

Good food, delicious burger

Their burger was really good, the ketchup sauce was homemade and absolutely fantastic. Bathrooms were not so clean though.

Great place for a fulfilling lunch

For lunch, I had the spicy jackfruit sandwich with avocado topped with herbs and edamame. Very tastefull, rich and fresh ingredients on a big piece of fresh bread. Also, had sweet potato fries on the side; the best I have ever had so far. Also very nice staff.

Pros: Fresh ingredients, Great coffee, Sweet staff

Wonderful experience!

I've been to Meatless District several times, and I'm always satisfied. I love the atmosphere, the friendly staff and the varied menu. Would recommend the lox bagel and the cesar salad! ✨

Nice and fancy restaurant

We went there two days in a row. The cauliflower was very delicious. The burger was fine, but actually not as good as the burgers of the other vegan burger places in Amsterdam. The chocolate cake was a dream, 5 stars for the desserts!

Great decor and amazing food

First of all: I am autistic, and are quite noise sensitive. Unfortunately, many places (also vegan places) have bad acoustic, loud music and noise in general. That often make my experience not so great, when a blender or a coffee machine turns on and off, loud pop music are playing ind the background, or that a bad acoustic does that I can't have a proper conversation with the people at my table, because I can hear all the background noise.
But Meatless District not only have a nice and cosy decor; they also have an great acoustic. Even when the restaurant was almost full, I wasn't bothered of all the people talking. I could hear other people, yes. But I could easily have a conversation with my friends, without exert myself
And even the lightning is perfect. No spotlight or fluorescent tube, but nice, warm light.

And not the least: the food is great. I had the faux gras for starter, the roasted cauliflower mac and cheese for main, and the chocolate cappuccino mousse for dessert. All dishes very great, and the menu had some other really interesting offers too.
My friend who had the bourguignon was not that satisfied with that dish, but think that the other dishes was great.

So my final verdict: not only are this Meatless District autism friendly, and a great place for people who are noise sensitive in general. But it is also a great place to get a great vegan meal, and to show your meatloving friends, that you neither need meat, egg nor dairy to get a great meal.

Pros: Autism friendly, Great food

Nice setting

Good combinations of flavours.

Update september 2022: inconsistent. The Caesar salad was way too salt en fatty, as was the wild mushroom chowder. The pees, beans and greans risotto was bland with unpleasant king oyster scallops. We liked the cumin cheese on the cheeseplatter with Max and Bien ‘cheeses’. Our previous review was for the Van Woustraat. Different menu, different experience.


New update februari 2024: we enjoyed the starters: the purple carrot dip and chickpea sticks.
For the mains: Good mushroom dish, tasty but too salt ‘chicken’ pie, creamy roasted cauliflower and Mac and cheese, and a bit standard burgers. The Caesar salad is still too salt and fat. Too much ‘chicken’ and ‘bacon’, not enough greens. The roasted Roseval potatos were great. The fries, regular and sweet potato were really good, but for some of us too salt.
For dessert we shared a crème brulee with quite a dominant coconut flavor, we didn’t taste any chai. The great lemon poppy cake was not on the menu, but should be. The cheesecake had a too strong coconutflavor. Really friendly staff.

Crazy portion, good taste

Super cute restaurant off the beaten track, with a great atmosphere and plenty of seating.
I ordered a dirty chai, which was amazing and not sweat at all. We also got free tap water when we sat down.
I had the complete British breakfast, which was a generous portion. The scrambled eggs had a for me too soft texture - something I’ve never experienced before. It is not bad, but just not for me. The sausages had a weird casing around which was almost like jelly, which was not the best. The rest of the dish was delicious!

Pros: Cozy atmosphere, Good food, Many many options, everything is vegan

Some of the best vegan food in Amsterdam!

We have been there 3 times and every time it is amazing. The owner, Cathalijne, is absolutely wonderful, attentive, friendly, and kind. We have had brunch, lunch, and dinner and all were stellar. I cannot recommend enough. #Veganuary

Nicest meal!!

Lovely restaurant and the food was absolutely amazing, some of the best vegan food I've ever had.

The restaurant is really nice, good seating, fresh decor, clean and the staff were friendly. We didn't book, and got so lucky getting a table for 2 (on a Tuesday) as they were busy, so I would recommend booking if you can.

Pros: Great menu, Lovely restaurant , Friendly staff

Hit and miss

I was excited to try this place because of the reviews. I ordered the cesear salad but it was very wet and the lettuce was not fresh. It was also pricey for a plate of mainly lettuce
