The 10 best vegetarian restaurants in Amsterdam

Bar James

Bar James opened their doors in 2016 and is a very hip and very popular vegetarian restaurant in Amsterdam. They serve delicious meals from morning until late, but you can also just buy a refreshing drink and continue to enjoy the vibe here until the early hours. Be sure to try the vegan burger or go for a cozy fondue. Bar James is reasonably affordable for Amsterdam standards.

Meatless District

If you’re looking for a modern vegan restaurant in Amsterdam, then Meatless District is definitely worth a visit! Everything on the menu at Meatless District is vegetarian, but also organic, seasonal and as much local as possible. The vegan cuisine is anything but boring. I love the delicious vegetable burgers in this restaurant. Prices at the Meatless District are really not to steep for eating out in Amsterdam. The Meatless District is open daily for lunch and dinner and also for breakfast during the weekends.

Address: Bilderdijkstraat 65-67 H

De Bolhoed

Do you want more choice for vegetarian food in Amsterdam? Then ‘De Bolhoed’ (Dutch for bowler hat) is another great find! This restaurants are a well-known organic and vegetarian restaurant in Amsterdam. The restaurant was built in a very nice and cozy building next to the canals at the Jordaan. The restaurant has a bit of an alternative atmosphere, which immediately makes you feel at home. I especially enjoyed the vegetarian classics, and it’s also great that the prices here aren’t over the top. The restaurant is open 7 days a week for both lunch and healthy, tasty dinner.

Address: Prinsengracht 62

Vegan Junk Food Bar

Also in the ‘hip vegan restaurant in Amsterdam category’ you’ll find the new Vegan Junk Food Bar. You’ll love it here if you want a delicious snack, such as a burger, a shoarma sandwich, ‘bitterballen‘ (a Dutch ‘delicacy’) or onion rings. Everything on the menu is vegan so vegans and vegetarians will both love it here. The portions you get here are quite big and not very expensive. The Vegan Junk Food Bar is open from noon until late.

The Food Halls (‘Foodhallen’)

At the ‘Foodhallen’ you take place at a table wherever you want and then you can get snacks at various stands. There are plenty of vegetarian options available in the Food halls and therefore this famous Amsterdam attraction can not be missed in this list of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in Amsterdam. Since there are also a lot of restaurants that do offer meat, you can go here with your non-vegetarian friends. Great vegetarian or vegan places are among others: Maza, Fento, Padrón and Mr. Temaki. The vegetable snacks at Padrón and the meze at Maza still make my mouth water! The stalls aren’t too cheap, but in return you have the opportunity to meet with many different kitchens and cultures. You can find the Food halls in Amsterdam-West.

Address: Bellamyplein 51

DopHert

DopHert is not just a vegetarian restaurant in Amsterdam, it was the first vegan lunchroom that opened in the city. Since then, Dophert is a truly established name among vegetarians and vegans because you can eat delicious and surprisingly at affordable prices. The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is clean and modern. Some recommendations are the delicious cakes and the vegan toasted sandwiches. You can visit DopHert for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

At SNCKBR you can enjoy guilty pleasures, but then as a healthier alternative. If you’re looking for a cozy hot spot for vegetarian food in Amsterdam then you should definitely come here.

They work with local, organic and fair products free from refined sugar and harmful additives. Be sure to try the Shakshuka or The Meets Platter with some delicious snacks. Some dishes are on the pricey side, but once you put them in your mouth you won’t complain anymore! The Meets is open 7 days a week.
