A guide to all the vegan eats in one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the world, Amsterdam.
Searching for a vegan restaurant in Amsterdam? Most restaurants in Amsterdam offer some vegetarian & vegan options on their menus, but there are actually so many full vegan & plant-based restaurants, in and out of the city. Here are our favorite spots & what we ordered!
Note: Some places don’t have photos, either because we couldn’t take them, or because the end result wasn’t good.
Full Vegan
Vegan Junk Food Bar: Out of every place that we visited, this was our favorite. Seriously, in eight days we went there four times. The best part? Everything is plant-based.
Mastino V: The most authentic Italian pizza we’ve ever had! The first 100% gluten-free & vegan pizzeria in Amsterdam, ran by actual Italians. They use homemade vegan cheeses & dough. To top it all off they had vegan tiramisu! Dead.
Maoz: Previously Maoz Vegetarian, now Maoz Vegan Fast Food! We knew we couldn’t leave The Netherlands without trying their traditional fries with mayo; here they had the vegan version of that & more!
Dutch Fries with Curry & Garlic Sauce
The Dutch Weed Burger Joint: Don’t be fooled by the name, the weed in Weed Burger is SEAWEED! We actually didn’t order any burgers, we had enough of those already. We ordered Shawarma Wraps with fries & a Chocolate Milkshake that still has me dreaming of it.
Vegan Friendly:
The Mexican: This place was the first place we visited. After delayed & missed flights, we literally went with the first place that we ran into. We had nachos, which turned out to be really good and authentic.
The Avocado Show: Avocados are my favorite fruit, so naturally I was dying to try this place since I ran into it while researching for the trip. “The Avocado Show serves visually stunning and incredibly tasty signature dishes made with love from sustainable and socially responsible avocados.” And they’re not wrong about the visually stunning & tasty dishes part.
Wok to WalkThis is actually one of our favorites! I think we ate there three times, because it was super simple & hassle-free. We popped into the store, ordered to-go, and went along with our schedule as we ate.
Dominos: Normally, I’m not the type of person who travels to a whole different country to experience a whole new culture, just to end up eating at chain restaurants that I have back home. We notice a lot of people eating at American Fast Food Chains and to be honest, it drove us crazy. But when we ran into this Dominos with a huge vegan sign upfront, we really couldn’t resist. Probably because the Dominos back home doesn’t have anything remotely close to vegan except for a cheeseless veggie. For real, they had like five different vegan options! We went for the spicy.
De Foodhallen: This place! If there’s one way that I could describe this place as, it would be as the 2025 version of Lote 23 in Puerto Rico. There are so many vegan options that it was really hard to decide what we actually wanted. We tried nachos from Taquería Lima & Vegan Temaki from Meneer Temaki.
Jacketz: This place is one that had very limited vegan options, yet that day was chilly & we felt like eating some comfort food. The potatoes were huge! I loved the green curry filling.
Happy Pig Pancake Shop: While researching for the trip, I ran into a page that said this place had the best vegan Dutch pancakes! This place is the original house of the rolled pancakes, and we were really taken by surprise by how amazing the vegan pancakes were.
Coffee & Others
C | T Coffee & Coconuts: A couple of months ago Raya from Rayawashere visited this place in one of her vlogs, I fell instantly in love with the place. Then I visited and it was so much beautiful than I imagined; three floors in an old cinema, with tropical vibes & amazing coffee.
La La Ijs: As we were walking towards De Foodhallen in 90 F weather at 8pm, we ran into a glorious sign that said “Vegan Ice Cream Here”, my jaw dropped. It was so hot that day that I didn’t know if I was hallucinating or not.
VegabondWe loved this place, and we wished we could have gone there more, but it was kind of far out of our daily commute. However it’s conveniently located near the Anne Frank House, so while you’re waiting for your entrance slot, you can pop into Vegabond for some snacks and a coffee.
Rijksmuseum Cafe: Have coffee within art? Check! That’s literally the only vegan thing on their menu. However it was great coffee & it gave us the energy we needed to tour the museum for four hours.
The Dutch Vegan Bakery: This was one of those places that we didn’t know that existed, we just ran into it & turned out to be a vegan gold mine. The bakery is located outside of Amsterdam, in the nearby city Zaanse Schans.
