Vegan restaurants in Amsterdam
Written by Gillian McKeith
The Dutch grow superb vegetables and they are sensible about food, so Amsterdam should be a great vegan city, and in parts it is. The trouble is the tourist centre, where a vegan menu often means chips and a wrap.
Walk fifteen minutes out of the middle and the cooking improves enormously. These are the ones I would go back to, listed independently.

I judge kitchens on the things that actually matter: real ingredients, honest sourcing, vegetables cooked with care, and food you feel better for eating.
Nothing on this page is a paid placement. Restaurants cannot buy a recommendation, and any listing marked as sponsored is labelled as such. If a kitchen slips, it comes out of the guide.
