    You know how you can sometimes eat something great and then forget about it? Or look at pictures of your holiday food and have no idea how it tasted (or what it was!) anymore? With Olive & Cookie each dish creates a memory you and your tastebuds will not forget. Ever. You will look at that picture, remember and start swooning again. Each dish might look simple (polenta pie, beetroot salad, chickpeas with pumpkin) but everything is an explosion of taste in sheep's clothing (in a wonderful way), with just one or two (good) ingredients as star players and always a secret twist ingredient, like perfectly roasted sesame seeds with the perfectly cooked green beans. And don't forget the great love and dedication of Sandra and Petar. Their great knowledge of ingredients and techniques, makes each dish a perfect balance between taste, texture and colours. If I could chose 'a last supper' it would have to be made by one of the lovely chefs and owners of Olive & Cookie. But I prefer taking my bike and driving there whenever I feel happy, want to celebrate something with someone I love or on my own, or simply whenever I want to eat with a smile and make the world slow down to just my senses and enjoy. You pick and choose everything from their vitrine (I usually do around 3 hearty pies and several other dishes with pulses and veggies) and either get it on one plate to share or get your own plate. I prefer and love the shared plate. Take away is also an option but I only do that when I have to travel and want to eat something great to make everyone else in the train or plane jealous... Oh, and ALWAYS leave room for dessert, please. Do not leave without a dessert. Thank you for existing and sharing your passion for cooking with the world ♥

    Had a lovely lunch in the sun at the only table outside. The owners are lovely and take immense pride in the food they serve. And so they should! I had the lasagna-like layered pie which, as it turns out, is made with bread slices! The owner kindly explained it all to me as I was amazed at how soft and moreish it was. Very decent prices, especially for the area, and a fair choice of vegetarian and/or vegan dishes. Would happily go back!

    Very kind owner from East Europe. He was open to explain every item he offered in the display fridge. The food taste was average to good, the price was very good for what I ordered, and last but not least, it's a great destination for vegetarians & vegans. He didn't accept payment with credit card but he also explained to me that card issuers in the Netherlands make them pay very high charges for every transaction. I would recommend the place even for non-vegetarians, the food is still good quality.

    One of the best place with home atmosphere and vegetarian food in Amsterdam. I recommend this place if you are hungry and want to eat fast and cheap. Their food is already cooked, so they just heat it for you. Dishes are very delicious (especially cauliflower) and people who work here are soooo friendly! There is only 2 tables, I wish there were more. I liked they accept cash.

    I hardly write reviews but this might just be one of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve been to in the world, easily the most underrated looking at how many reviews there are here. I’m a vegetarian nomad so I’ve been to places all over Europe and the Americas, but the chef here was as kind, homey, and passionate about her work and recipes as anybody else I’ve met. As I sat outside on the 1 little table they had, about 3 or 4 folks walked inside and sparked up conversations with the owner that seemed straight out of a hallmark movie where the chef had a unique relationship with each one that have probably been coming for years. In summary, if you want to feel like you’re sitting down in your aunt’s kitchen after school as a kid where she’s been baking all day, this is the spot.

    This place is small and unassuming. It's not a big restaurant, more aimed at takeout, with a couple places to sit and eat. The food is showcased in a glass counter, and heated up for the customer. I was not sure what to expect based on looks, but it tasted great! The small pies were especially delicious :)

    Wasn't sure exactly what to expect when we walked into this small space, but every bit of the food we had was delicious. It's clear that the chef puts a great deal of time and care into these dishes, and the result was an incredibly enjoyable meal. Would recommend this place, especially as a lunch stop to slow things down on a busy day.

    We visit Olive&Cookie every time we visit Amsterdam. My wife wants to start a Veg place on her own and she loves this small and cute place. Much personal food. Good taste. Totally recommended.

    Our time at Olive & Cookie was a highlight experience of our time in Amsterdam!! The owners are passionate about their craft and ever so friendly. We had the pleasure of chatting with them a bit and they seem like lovely people. Their philosophy of food and cooking is truly refreshing. The cafe’s ambience is simple but in the best way — a laidback homey style. By their recommendation, we ordered a sharing plate— we tried just about everything they had on offer. Each dish is made with care and bursting with flavour and personality. The flavours are unique and personal to the chefs. Everything we tasted was new and exciting. They allow core ingredients to shine and don’t overcomplicate things. Not pictured were the delicious savoury pastries we had afterwards and to-die-for desserts. Her signature mascarpone chocolate cake has a richness and depth but remains light (Twas magical). And the forest berry pie was these earthy yummy goodness hard to describe just wow. We also bought high quality spices from them and ordered more to-go for our train ride home. We just could not get enough of their food. (They even gave us a piece of dessert for free to thank us for our visit to the restaurant which was very generous and kind, merci beaucoup!!). If we ever return to Amsterdam, it will be our first stop.

    Absolute veggie/vegan gem. Around 10 mins walk from Museum Square. Extremely delicious and all cooked on premises. There is a table for 6/8 and an amazing selection which will tempt and satisfy... 'gratin of cauliflower with truffle.. 'say no more.. highly recommended.😊😊

  • 5/5 Anthony P. 7 months ago on Google
    lovely people in a small, cozy space. There are items you can choose to make a plate (pay by the weight), incredible lentil pies, and deserts. Vegetarian and vegan. Filled our souls on our first day back in Amsterdam. Thank you.

    In a city where real restaurants are extremely hard to find, this place is a breath of fresh air. Food is fresh and cooked on the premises and the owners are really nice.

    We had a very good time at Olive&cookie. I highly recommend this place to anyone who searches for a nice lunch place with a cosy atmosphere. The woman that served us the food was super friendly and we felt very welcomed.

    Amazing. Cannot recommend a better place for veggie food that tastes amazing. Also the brownie I had was incredible. The owners were also some of the nicest people I've met here in Amsterdam. Well recommended.

    Affordable delicious vegan and vegetarian food. Lovely cook/hostess creates a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Warmly recommended, check out the vegan chickpea dish with smoked peppers!

    Such a cute and wholesome business with amazing home made vegetarian and vegan food! Would recommend!

  • 5/5 Frederick C. 1 year ago on Google
    I‘ve been to dozens of vegetarian and vegan restaurants and this one tops them all. 2.5 Euro per 100 Grams! That‘s less than a quarter the price of food by weight in Tibits in Switzerland. This place gives me yet another reason to move to Amsterdam!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
