Rave Reviews. Zero Meat
We decided to eat outside and enjoy the Amsterdam atmosphere while we ate. The vegan food was delicious a was the dessert and the service. If you are vegan it's definitely worth the trip!
Some of the best vegetarian food we were ever had, sponsored by delicious cocktails. Would highly recommend and only wish I had a restaurant like this where I live! !
We had a lovely, whole-food, plant-based (vegan) meal here in February 2025. The scallops made from King Oyster mushrooms were excellent as was the sashimi (made from watermelon !). I enjoyed my Lion's mane steak and my wife had a different meatless steak which was also very good. For dessert we enjoyed cheesecake and chocolate cake. The flames are distinctive and enjoyable; service was great; and atmosphere very relaxing.
By far the best vegan place I've ever been to! Inventive menu that uses veggies in a creative way so they are not only delish but also have good nutritional values. My meat eater husband was also very happy - taste is top💯 Go for plate sharing to get the most out of it. The place is spacious which is a strange find in Ams, and the music is not too loud so we could talk through the evening without shouting, again, strange in the city:) Defo recommend for any vegan-nonvegan for an outing with friends! - and go for the Lions Mane! !
By far the best vegan place I've ever been to. Inventive menu using veggies in a real creative way - the dishes are not only delish, but have good nutritional values & looks awsome. Plate sharing highly encouraged to get the most out of it! The interior is nice and spacious (unlike most places in Ams), the music is not too loud so perfect for talking with friends. Order the lions mane if you can!🔥
Wow! Food was amazing. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant had a nice vibe to it and was nice and clean.We ordered 6 places with 1 side. This was a decent amount of food. All courses were fantastic. The mac and cheese was amazing and we also had the special, which was available.We had the Creme Bruleé for dessert. It was amazing. Overall, if you're vegan, 100% come here. The staff also knew how to make a mean Old Fashioned too!
Vegan/ planted based cuisine. Indoor and outdoor 15+ tables. Modern decor, and shock vibes. The food was great, visited on several occasions and the flavour and spices and harmony of the food remains consistent. Complains to the chief and more importantly the staff. We give this experience a 5 out of 5. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
