    I am not vegan nor vegetarian but I would definitely recommend this place to fellow meat eaters because it’s a culinary experience worth doing. I was not familiar with some of the ingredients and flavours but everything I had was particularly tasty and positively surprising. The restaurant is simple and welcoming, the staff very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining all the ingredients you’re about to eat (I bet you will not remember half of them by the time the presentation is over, just nod and smile)..the chef is clearly creative and talented, overall it was a great experience. Maybe the only downside in my personal opinion is the price compared with the portions size. I’m definitely not used to the vegan/vegetarian world and clearly what I was served was very elaborate and complex, but I found the portions too small for myself, perhaps this is something to consider..

    Our favourite restaurant in Amsterdam. Been twice now and they never dissapoint. Service is great and the waitresses are knowledgeable and passionate about the food. And the food is truly next level. I love a good steak or good ribs, but would not give up the chance to go back here everytime they refresh their menu.

    We had the vegan surprise menu. Everything was great, except that the sauce for the main course was very bitter. But the chocolate mousse for dessert I could have every day. It was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere and decor inside is warm and romantic. We would definitely go again.

    Found De Waaghals by accident in the Pijp and really glad I did. I came with some vegetarian friends, and we loved every dish. Really innovative, delicious dishes that will also impress carnivores. Also good value for the quality, we had the set vegetarian menu for €39, vegan options also available. Great experience!

    Hidden gem in Amsterdam, one of the best vegetarian restaurants I have visited. Well prepared & original vegan-vegetarian food. The jackfruit Rendang hit the spot...don't mind the fish on the pictures. He travels around with me on Instagram @thesituationltd 😀

    Whenever we see an exclusively vegetarian/vegan restaurant we like to give it a try and this one was 10 out of 10. Amongst the best! The food was amazing and the waitresses were very kind. Absolutely recommended (but maybe not for huge appetite though).

    Hands down the best restaurant in Amsterdam/the world. The staff are incredibly lovely and know so much about the wonderful food they serve you. We had the 4 course vegan menu (my 3rd time choosing this) and it was excellent. So nice to have a seasonal menu every time! Could not recommend it any more highly!

    Wow! Delicious and flavorful, vegetarian food. Cozy atmosphere and nice staff. Every element of the dish had it’s own flavor/spices and everything was combined very well. I usually take the “crazy” dishes and I was not disappointed this time. This is definitely one of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve eaten.

    I am not a vegetarian 🌱but I do occasionally eat veg/vegan food to help balance my diet. The food here was so yummy 😋 that I had to stop myself from eating to fast. I would highly recommended the soup and rice pudding coconut desert. I will be back again 👍

    Absolutely wonderful experience for a vegetarian in the town! We chose a three course menu one of us Vegan and another Vegetarian. Before the food arrived, waitress asked for any vegetable aversions or allergies which was really nice. Each course was beautifully presented and waitress explained to us what was served and Ingredients of it each time. Food was really delicious and the taste was nuanced and balanced. Wonderful food, great knowledgeable staff and beautiful cozy setting. I would recommend it 10/10

    One of the best restaurants in Amsterdam! This food is culinary and art masterpiece! They have 3-4 courses options. Everything is veryyy delicious. I also liked people who work here, they are friendly. It could be busy so it’s better to book a table on their website.

  • 5/5 Petro P. 5 years ago on Google
    Yummy vege/vegan options! Good vibe and good service and not too hipstery/pretentious! Also reasonably priced at 30 Euros for a three course dinner. Come and dine here!

    One of the best meals in town, happens to be vegan! Everything we tasted tonight was wel prepared, beautiful and surprising. We choose to share a vegetarian and vegan 4 course meal to compare every course. The vegan options won in 3 cases. But everything was super tasteful. The staff was friendly and well informed about the dishes and the wines matched seamlessly with the tastes. Go To Tip when looking for a adorable, vegetarian/vegan dining experience in Amsterdam.

  • 5/5 Laura-Marie N. 8 months ago on Google • 108 reviews
    It was a great experience! This restaurant offers only 3 or 4 surprise courses that are either vegetarian or vegan. But they were all very delicious! We loved the variety and the unique flavours of each dish. Something truly special!

    Overal an ok experience. The two starter courses were decent but we were left disappointed with the mains. I’m not sure serving half a roast onion with an assortment of creams as the main course was a wise culinary decision. The dish as a whole was sweet and lacked textures that were pleasing, it left me quite befuddled. The wines were better than the food, service was attentive.

    Great restaurant! The dishes were full of interesting and delicious flavor combinations, after four dishes we were really full. I'm not a vegetarian, but I didn't feel the lack of meat. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service - very accessible, but at the same time professional and with a lot of knowledge about the dishes and wines served. Definitely better than many other fine dining restaurants in town! I recommend it to all my friends now and I will definitely come back.

    An experience we will never forget. The food was incredibly tasty with very particular, super fresh and organic ingredients. The miso butter served with bread was a delight. They serve a 3 or 4 courses menu that varies regularly (vegetarian or vegan) so it's always a surprise. They also have a good selection of organic wines. The staff is lovely, they take the time to explain in detail all the dishes and make sure everything is ok throughout the service. Lovely atmosphere all around. Will definitely recommend and go back in the future!

  • 5/5 Amanda P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely experience, they had two different types of tasting menus, one vegetarian and one vegan, both were spectacular. The vegan corn and zucchini ceviche had the best marinade I ever tasted, the barley risotto with taleggio was really creamy and well balanced and both desserts were the perfect closure. This place is a great example that you can recreate and revive popular and loved dishes by using other ingredients, more nutritious and sustainable, that makes you feel full and light at the same time.

    Such a fun concept I'd never experienced before. The restaurant works by allowing you to select how many courses you want and then you let them know any dislikes. And then your food is brought to you as a surprise! Certainly takes out the stress of making decisions.

    This was a lovely experience!! It’s so rare to eat at a restaurant led by a truly inspired chef! This was truly the best meal we had in Amsterdam. Vegetable forward! What a delight! The flavors were wonderfully composed. The only dish we could’ve left was the amuse bouche.. the rest was beautiful. I did the 4 course tasting, the main was Polenta with edamame and roasted garlic purée. Delicious! I’m still thinking about the roasted Fennel starter.

    We came here for my birthday and really enjoyed our dinner. The staff was really nice, and helpful. The menu was very tasty and prepared with love. The chefs use seasonal vegetable. The plates were also beautifully dressed. You can choose a veggie or a vegan menu. A must try when in Amsterdam ;) I

    Spontaneous visit ended as a delightful evening! The restaurant has a genuine and truly warm atmosphere. We felt taken care of and spoiled every bit through our evening. We choose for the chefs menu- a surprise courses with wine pairing. The dishes were lovely, but what made it great was their selection of wines.

    Creative delicious food, peaceful ambience, super friendly joyful staff - what’s not to love about De Waaghals. In the 4 odd years that we lived in Amsterdam, we frequented De Waaghals literally every month for their FANTASTIC tasting menu. We have never once been disappointed by their ingenuity of mixing a variety of flavors and serving such a diversity of cultures on a plate. The music and ambience is so relaxed and the staff is so hospitable and friendly. Their menu keeps changing and the ingredients are super fresh. HIGHLY RECCOMEND to visit at least once if you are in Amsterdam and to put this on your frequently visited list if you live in Amsterdam. It has certainly been among our Top 3 Fav restaurants in Amsterdam ! Thank you De Waaghals for being such a special part of our lives :)

    Always a delight to dinner at De Waaghals. Hands down one of my favourite restaurants in the Netherlands. I'm not a vegetarian for find myself enjoying all the dishes here regardless of having no meat. It also doesn't try to create near dishes with vegetables, but rather just makes really amazing tasting vegetarian or vegan dishes. Dishes are always on point, very balanced flavours, perfect level of creativity and gastronomy without being pretentious. The menu (set menu of either vegetarian or vegan option) changes according to the produce of the season and you can always expect to be pleasantly surprised with the composition of the dishes. You can tell that the one creating the menu loves food. The service is great although on this visit it was a bit off one of the services staff, but we all have our bad days. The rest of the staff on the night were super hospitable.

    I really liked every dish, from the starter to the desert. The dishes were refined with different consistencies and with a sophisticated appearance. The staff is really kind and prepared to explain them. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant. I was surprised how they’ve been able to create vegetarian dishes with so much taste. I recommend it, and I’m not even vegetarian or vegan.

  • 3/5 Tomer F. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly I expected so much more from this place. I had high hopes based on the reviews I read but the main dish just wasn't good. Starter was fine and the dessert we liked... Staff was friendly and said they would have replaced it had we not waited till the end to tell them. Maybe we just came on a bad day but seeing as it's out only experience then it's all we can go by.

    Not a big fan ~ we were placed at a table right next to the noisy kitchen. We managed to get another one after painful negotiations. The portions were tiny and I found my dish to be very random ~ something I could have done easily at home

  • 4/5 Dimple J. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    I tried the four course vegan menu at De Waaghals. The food is great, among the better places in Amsterdam. The first course was really good and the celery starter with leek butter had all the right flavours. The second course with roasted carrots was amazing as well with the madras sauce. The dish that lacked for me was the main dish - lentil crumble with caramelised onion in potato purée with parsley oil. I think it needed something more to match up to the first two courses. The dessert was great again and the orange flavoured toffee brownie with walnut ice cream was a great combo. The service could improve a bit - like being attentive about providing water when I tried to get the staff’s attention for good ten minutes. Also the wine pairing was good but also the most expensive one in the menu was recommended to me so I don’t know if there were less pricey options too. Good experience overall and hopefully will visit again

  • 5/5 Dávid V. 4 months ago on Google

    Definitely one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Amsterdam. The cozy mood attracts nice type of people too.

    As a non-vegetarian/vegan I really appreciated the food. Didn't miss the meat at all. Everything tasted amazing and the staff is very informative about what you're eating. The housewine is great, left us buzzed like bees on a gentle summers day. It is a bit cozy inside, but that isn't a surprise for that area in Amsterdam. Would definitely go back again. The prices are inline with what you get, not cheap but also not too expensive. Recommended.

    Such an intimate place, feels like you’re at home. We had the vegetarian 3 course. Unique dishes, all of them had some sort of bitterness which I found interesting. Even though they were great, my favourite part was the simplest - the sourdough and the wine.

    The food was exceptional and a wonderful surprise. The chef was very accommodating for allergies even with our guest with an onion sensitivity, but please let them know when you are booking the restaurant if you have dietary concerns. We appreciated the effort, love, and care put into the food! A rare experience, and a must try if you are vegan or vegetarian.

    Really amazing food, probably the tastiest and most interesting mix of flavours across the four course tasting menu (choose between vegan or veggie) that I've ever eaten out. We originally went for three courses but upgraded to four as the first two were so tasty! Went for a birthday meal and although It worked out at about €55 per person, for that you get a real culinary experience from a very experienced chef and lovely waiting staff who couldn't be more helpful...and a few glasses of wine to boot. I would definitely recommend for a special meal when in Amsterdam.
