    Really kind, friendly left wing place. Beautiful space. V nice prices. (If you want food, make sure you’ve put your name down on the list in advance. Food happens in the evening around 7pm and they cook based on how many people are on the list.) Happy this place exists.

    Top vegan place, love it. Hard to reserve, but try, opens only on the weekends (check their agenda) very casual and different from a classic restaurant, the MKZ dinners are prepared by collectives. And always, always amazing. Beer selection is good, wines not really. ;)

    Excellent vegan place. it is a nonprofit run by volunteers. We went on a night when for 5 euro you get 3 course set menu. It might always be this way. We had red lentil soup, followed by rice noodles with spinach, tofu, broccoli and peanut sauce. Very good. Dessert was chocolate dipped fruits. Excellent concept where they serve at kitchen and you go get food. Excellent price/quality ratio. Free water. Beer or wine is only 2-3 euros. Some people may have been going back for second plates for no extra charge.

    My absolute favorite place in Amsterdam. The mere existence of this project, and the amazing people who make it, makes my heart happier and transformed my connection with the city. MKZ is not a restaurant. You are going to be served with dignity, respect, camaraderie, music and great conversations here. Regarding the food, it is cooked by volunteers, always vegan (MKZ is no place for hierarchies and supr3m4c1es such as speciesism). It is always absolutely delicious. A 3-4 course meal, made with love, compassion, fun. You wash your dishes and your faith in humanity here. ### OPEN FOR TAKEAWAY ON SATURDAY ### During lockdown, you can call MKZ, make a reservation of how many dishes you want, then pick up between 19:00 and 20:00. Bring your own containers for food. The food can be paid on a donation basis, min. 5€ is advised. Any proceeds (after costs) goes to support a cause agreed by the volunteer cooks, mostly local causes.

    If you're in Amsterdam and looking for a vegan meal served in an anarchist squat coop kitchen, then head out to MKZ on the Southwest side near Vondelpark. Call around 2:30 to make reservations, or if want to find out if you can volunteer

    Great vegan food for next to nothing! You usually get a soup for starters, then a hearty, tasty main course and an amazing (often raw chocolate) desert. That's right, a three-course meal for just 5 euro! Beers 1,50 euro.

    This place is amazing. There is a big family atmosphere here and they make everyone feel welcome. I went on a Saturday and it was pay what you want, the money goes to a cause, you serve yourself, wash the plate, and they then serve you the next portion. It's fantastic πŸ‘Œ

    On Wednesdays and Fridays they offer a vegan dinner. For 5€ you get the whole menu (starter, main dish, dessert). You can have more bread if you need it of course :). You have to wash your dishes after you're done. And that's it. The place is lovely, people are the best, and they have a good selection of drinks also.

    Really cool local vegan food cooperative. Great people, great food!

  • 5/5 Baha K. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 98 reviews
    Absolutely loved the food and the place. Delicious vegan meals for little money. Furthermore, they run entirely on volunteers and any profits they make are given away to charities. Can’t ask for a much better place to eat. Highly recommendable!

    I was here for a private party. The food was delicious, and the workers were great.

  • 5/5 Robin van R. 6 years ago on Google
    Simply amazing. No hassle with picking food, since there's only 1 dish per round. This one dish however... If you're reading this, go there :)

  • 4/5 Zulfikar M. 7 years ago on Google
    Great place! Cosy and relaxed. Don't come here looking for a fancy meal....cone here looking for a chilled out place with warm vibes. Food is nice...and cheap. Remember, you need to wash your own dishes :-)

    Great volunteer run restaurant with an outstanding mission & vision. Vegan food should be cheaper than non-vegan and these guys are showing how that's done with 3 course meals for just 5 Euro! Plus 1,5 Euro bottles beers!!

The staff were also very well-...
