I truly hate to give poor reviews to restaurants I can tell are really putting in the effort so let me give you some of my credentials first. I’m a 10+ year veteran in the service industry. The other people I was dining with are also in fine dining (chefs and FOH). I’ve also been a vegetarian for over ten years. So I do have high expectations, I’ll admit that. But with a high price tag and good reviews who wouldn’t? We all did the full vegan tasting menu with wine pairings. They had an option for dessert and we had both chosen in our group. I don’t want to get into too much so I’ll just say this. Every single dish severely lack seasoning, it certainly had not been tasted by anyone who believes vegan cuisine can be just as delicious as “regular food.” Many dishes has sever texture issues as well. One dessert was genuinely inedible because the cake on the bottom had congealed to a texture that was impossible to cut through. Service was well timed but fairly stale as they just repeated the same descriptions to each table and really added no personal thoughts or emotion to it. The wine pairings were delightful and played a large role in saving our experience. They did seem to notice we weren’t having an exceptional time as they attempted a service recovery at the end by having the chef bring over an extra treat. We very much appreciated this gesture. Perhaps I had my expectations too high but for that price the wine and service recovery techniques were unfortunately not enough to keep me from feeling the need to share my negative experience. I do believe they have incredible potential there and truly hope we just went on an off day.

Excellent mostly vegan restaurant. The menu is entirely vegan but you can add meat or fish if desired. The wine pairing is also very good. The restaurant is on the noisy side - some extra acoustic design would be nice to have. The dishes are interesting combinations of flavours.

Unable to do a comprehensive review as we had the take home vegan menu due to the lockdown. Buuuuuuut the food here is amazing, I love the concepts and the quality of ingredients. As for the taste of the food, some times the food can taste quite subtle, too subtle that there isn't any bold flavours smacking you in the face. Would love to try more.

Definitely the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to and such a friendly staff. If you like meat you can even add some to a selection of dishes (without paying extra). All the dishes have really daring tastes and structures and you can make a journey through palettes from very soft and comforting to spicy and bitter. Excellent! They also offer a vegan cheese platter: wow! A shame that we ordered the four course menu. Next time more!!! One lesser item is the acoustic. If you are sitting opposite of each other you can hardly hear what you’re saying. Of course we were here on a busy Friday night but something should be done about that. Despite the sound problem: we will come again! Thanks.

Delicious food and drinks. Reasonable prices and really great tasting vegan and gluten free food. The tomato yolk on the kimchi waffle was a work of art. Looked and flowed just like a regular egg yolk.

Awesome plant based restaurant in Amsterdam. Was speaking with the head chef and waitress about what they do and they're so passionate about vegan. Food quality is super high and a unique mix of flavour combinations. Also, you have to try the vegan cheese!! Highly recommended

The service was very careful, the food was delicious, very testy ingredients, one of the best vegan restaurant in town. Highly recommended!

A great food journey. I am vegan and it’s sometimes hard to find real recipes and well chosen ingredients. At Yerba the service is very curated and the food is a joy for the eyes and the senses. Some surprising mixes that actually work very well together!

We had a great time here to celebrate my partner’s birthday! Food was excellent with great tastes and combinations. Also, service was super kind and our waiter took the time each time to introduce us our next plate. I read a few comments about the noise inside of the restaurant. It could only happen if you have noisy people around you as the tables are quite close to each other. Apart of this, nothing to highlight apart of a great experience from the start to the end. Thank you!

Nice vegan dining experience, the dishes I enjoyed the most were the pumpkin dumplings and the mushroom liquorice ice cream! They combine very interesting ingredients together and it works out perfectly. I have to say, the cauliflower dish did not impress me as it tasted a bit bland and you couldn’t really taste the miso in it, it was also way too much cauliflower which is too filling if you’re having several courses. The mushroom schnitzel dish felt a bit unfinished compared to the other dishes and it was also a bit burnt (maybe it’s supposed to be like that). The service was great, however, as mentioned in other reviews, some staff explained the dishes in detail and others didn’t, which seems a little inconsistent. Everybody working was incredibly friendly though! The atmosphere could be improved as it’s quite bright inside and the music was all over the place. Regardless of these points, we left quite happy and enjoyed our experience :)

Amazing. One of the best food experiences I have had. I’ve been in restaurants where it seems the chefs can’t imagine food without meat, where I have had pasta as the only option. It was refreshing to be in a restaurant that celebrates plant-based eating with such creativity. We opted for five courses with a wine pairing for each course. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and the portions were perfect. The wines were beautiful and were paired perfectly with the food. The servers were knowledgable and friendly. We had the best time.

Dishes very contrived. Flavours not at all complimentary. Nice ambiance and very friendly staff but that did not make up for the food. We tried 2 starters and 2 main dishes which were suggested as the most popular ones but we didn t finish any of it and decided to just skip dessert. Really was looking forward to find a new place that s mainly plantbased but unfortunately it was a huge dissapointment.

"Out of this world" I went today for late lunch and I had the best pumpkin pancakes I ever had. The chef is really kind and lovely to speak to. I wish I can come back before I go back home. Thanks, Célie

Easily one of the best vegan restaurants. Very unique dishes and prepared to perfection. Worth a visit even for omnivores. They do offer fish/meat sometimes...

I must’ve been here more than 5 times and there’s always something new and exciting on the menu. Food great and service is great. Always a treat.

Terrible service. Mixed up our order. They make everyone at the table order the same number of tiny dishes yet couldn't bring out the right ones to us that we ordered. Very small portions. Fussy cooking. Food designed for Instagram not eating. Desserts had lots of hard sugar candy on them. Crunchy but off. Asparagus dessert tastes like sweet asparagus. Ugh. Most dishes had greens piled on top. Carrot dish was par boiled carrots. Not fine dining IMHO. Expensive. 167 euros for four with two drinks and we left hungry. Then when we tried to pay they said "our credit card machine is broken so we are cash only or bank transfer or we will escort you to the ATM". Took us thirty minutes to pay and get out of there. Very very very unpleasant experience. Not recommended.

Barside dining was a great experience. Lovely food, great wine and super friendly staff

It was ok, we went for brunch. Big personal disappointment and I know it is a specific thing, but there was coriander everywhere. (in the avocado cream, in the corn fritters) And it wasn't mentioned or I'd have ordered something else. The popcorn on my dish was old, super hard. The other dish had a missed proportion w salas vs avocado on toast. The other components in the dishes were good but missing a bit of a kick (maybe overpowered by all the coriander). Service was very good, place was clean and presentation of the dishes was very nice. Heard the dinner was good, will try it sometime, maybe changes my opinion.

Delicious food with excellent service in a nice unassuming atmosphere. The chef is quietly cooking in the middle of the room. Dishes come out in perfect timing. The tastes come together excellently, supported by one of the wines of the creative wine list. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!

The food was absolutely amazing- refined, delicious and beautifully presented. They have this mokum mule cocktail- try it! Everyone was super nice. Amazing place for a work dinner or for a date! Would recommend 10000/10

Incredible restaurant. Visited here for a date in Oct. 2021 and the food, atmosphere and service was brilliant! One waiter in particular, from Scotland was a real gentleman We ordered the 6 course menu, with wine pairings and each dish/wine was beautiful. I couldn't have been much more impressed, considering we were also given an extra desert dish for free as it was very close to closing time. Pricy, but worth every cent👍

Such an amazing experience at this restaurant. It was a tasting menu where you can pick 4, 5 or 6 courses. You have to choose at least one from the 'starter', 'main' and 'desert' categories (although not exactly specified as those categories) and then your other courses can be picked as you fancy. They are a plant based restaurant with a couple dishes able to have meat included which was a nice touch. The meat was amazing quality and sustainably sourced, so can't ask for better quality than that. The food all tasted incredible and would definitely recommend. Was not the biggest fan of the deserts but I'm not the biggest desert person. Great experience, would recommend to anyone who appreciates good quality food.

Lovely food, service and atmosphere! True example of when a chef masters cooking without animal based ingredients, he masters flavour and balance!

Really delicious vegan food(has some meat options). I came once before for brunch and it was good but didn't love it. This time though had the 4 course meal (2 starters, 1 main, 1 dessert) and everything was super yummy. They pay a lot of attention to detail both in flavour and presentation and I really like that! The lady who was working was also friendly, helpful and funny. Overall a lovely night out with friends! Would recommend!

This place offers food for the soul! What an awesome service, beautiful dishes and incredible flavours. Finally an extraordinary vegan restaurant in Amsterdam. Tip: go for a 6-course menu the chef with matching wines.

Good service creative and yummy food combinations. And most important: all sustainable! Try the white asparagus magnum. So good!!!!

You know I love it / veggies first is the style of this chef owned and operated spot. Tasting menu is what they offer I went for the 4 course / wines where amazing the Front of house knows there liquids and the service is very down to earth!! Defiantly worth checking it out /. best price vs. quality !!

We have had a delicious and original plant based brunch in Yerba with many gluten free options. We loved everything we ordered and the waitress has been very attentive to us. We will definitely go back! *Advisable to book before going.

We had a great experience at Yerba. Interesting flavours and very friendly and helpful service. We especially loved the pumpkin capaletti as well as the rum baba dessert. Definitely worth a visit!

Yerba is a high end restaurant at a mid-tier price with a relaxed vibe. The open kitchen let’s you see how the chefs prepare the amazing presentation and even better tasting food. The wine was perfectly paired with each dish, and the entire staff is super nice and so knowledgeable about the food and wine. Yerba is a must try!

Absolutely phenomenal menu with a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent options for everyone - all dishes start vegan or vegetarian and you can add meats and animal products if you want. We loved every main dish we had, especially the artichoke soup and zucchini beignets. Definitely pick a minimum of 5 courses, and make sure you don't miss the sesame parsnip cake at the end. It was the highlight of the night! The head chef Walter took so much time to talk with us about the unique flavors and food preparation, which added to the experience.

(Translated by Google) Really delicious eaten here yesterday. What special dishes. Very nice that everything is basically vegetable with options for meat or fish as an extra. We will be back for sure! (Original) Echt heerlijk gegeten hier gister. Wat een bijzondere gerechten. Heel fijn ook dat alles in de basis plantaardig is met opties voor vlees of vis als extra. Wij komen zeker terug!

Best restaurant we have ever been to. Honestly. First, the menu is clear and simple and gives you enough info to make your choice of dishes yet without unveiling all the flavour surprises. Then, the restaurant itself, placing its chef right in the middle of the room, was both human and courageous. Lastly, the food. It is actually the main reason I am writing this review. Creative and daring, perfectly executed and leading to excellence. Each dish was a firework, in satisfying proportions. The whole dinner was a journey, I cannot wait to experience again.

What a magnificent place .. as a foodie an absolute must ...

(Translated by Google) The food was delicious, service top, great experience (Original) Het eten was heerlijk, bediening top, geweldige ervaring

(Translated by Google) Wonderful culinary experience, packed with taste and creativity. We enjoyed the 6-course dinner and the friendly service. The two and a half hours flew by and we never had to wait long for the next dish. (Original) Heerlijke culinaire ervaring, bomvol smaak en creativiteit. Wij hebben genoten van het 6 gangendiner en de vriendelijke bediening. De tweeënhalf uur vlogen voorbij en we hoefden nooit lang te wachten op het volgende gerecht.

Yerba is one of the few Amsterdam establishments where the restaurant rating reflects the reality - the reviews and ratings are not inflated. I loved dining there, high-quality ingredients, wonderful wine pairing and a delicious vermouth as aperitivo.

Amazing dining experience! Even though i am not a vegan myself, had a fantastic night thanks to their tasty dishes! Everything was so delicious and creative. Highly recommended!

I'm not vegan, but I love food and trying new and different things. We stumbled upon Yerba and we were so pleased! Each dish was beautifully creative and plated! We paired with wine which was so fun! The service was wonderful! Thank you!

I’m sorry to ruin the party, but the food was not tasty at all. It gets 2 stars and not 1 only because of kind service and vibe. Would not recommend.

My waiter was very welcoming. The dishes are creative and I felt there was a lot of variety for the price. The desserts were the stars of the show for me, fun and exciting flavors. I’m not sure if one of the chefs served me additional desserts or if they were included, but if so I appreciate it so much.

Very creative menu and it wresting low key ambiance. The dishes we tried were delicious 😋 service was fast and nice. The prices are fair. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

I tried 4 dishes vegan menu with wine pairing. The food was original, tasty and very well presented. Best in class the chocolate dessert in the picture: really awesome. I did not enjoy paired wine but this is a personal taste. Paying 12 euro for two bottle of microfiltered sparkling water was pretty disturbing.

We had a wonderful night at Yerba. Very tasty food, vegetarian friendly. The staffs are very friendly. Highly recommended!

The best meal I have ever had. As good as, if not better than Michelin star quality for a fraction of the price. The service was excellent, the food was divine and the experience was unique. We even had 2 extra dishes that were made from unused produce which was an unexpected treat. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Thank you Yerba!

We stumble into Yerba without knowing this was a vegan/vegetarian type of place, but everything was surprisingly good, we got full with 5 course meal and left with no regret. This place deserves every star in my opinion… the amount of preparation in each dishes is insanely hard work, with various combination of cooking method to put together a single dish, the sauces, the garnish, the caramelization, the cured meat, salt bake and many more.. everything was layered together, great presentation and outstanding flavor… I never have the urge to lick my plate after finishing the food at a plant-base restaurant before. We got 5 dishes, and I realized each were carry out by different server, everyone seem to know what they were doing, explained every details of our plates and I couldn’t complain about anything, instead I think the vibe was more comfortable this way. Btw, me and my wife also runs a restaurant of our own from home… so we really gave it a high standard when it comes to judging the food & service.

Yerba delivered one of the great dinners of my life. Imagine a concept restaurant where the food is fully realized. We ordered a four course (5 & 6 also available) at this plant forward restaurant with bio organic wine pairings. I loved the Salsify prepared 4 different ways: crispy fried, pickled, sautéed and made into a hummus. Incredibly tasty and paired with a white from Alsace. The chef-owner is friendly and helpful and our waiter was helpful and well-informed. Outstanding experience. Eat at Yerba, in the museum district - your senses will be glad that you treated them to dinner.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic and eaten 100% plant-based. 6 courses surprising dishes. Beautifully balanced and full of flavor. Friendly service and you never wait too long for your next course. Really great, recommended! Tip: you sit a bit cozier in the front of the restaurant than in the back. (Original) Fantastisch en 100% plantaardig gegeten. 6 gangen verrassende gerechten. Supermooi gebalanceerd en bomvol smaak. Vriendelijke bediening en je wacht nooit te lang op je volgende gang. Echt top, aanrader! Tip: voor in het restaurant zit je wat gezelliger dan achterin.

Enjoyed the YERBAthuis menu today. Everything was delicious! The leek ash cheese was such a success we will definitely come back to try the other vegan cheeses. 10/10 would reccomend.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. A unique restaurant offering high quality vegan food at very reasonable prices. A tasting menu where you choose your dishes and if you do eat meat or fish you can add to some dishes.

Friendly service, casual setting 👍🏻 Food was hit and missed, some dishes i liked a lot some were just soso. Overall, i like it and the price was a course meal was very affordable. Great place for plant based foodies 💚

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very fresh and creative. Sustainable take on cooking to a high standard of taste. The cheese is superb.

Great place for vegan fine dine. Specially celery schnitzel was perfect. The waiters explained all the dishes in detail and service was relatively quick.

(Translated by Google) This evening was really great! Really very tasty eaten. Surprising dishes, special dishes and super sympathetic staff. The chef has a love for his profession and common sense. And you can taste it. A must to visit for vegans. And for omnivores actually too :) (Original) Deze avond was echt helemaal top! Echt ontzettend lekker gegeten. Verrassende gerechten, bijzondere gerechten en super sympathiek personeel. De chef heeft liefde voor zijn vak en verstand bad zaken. En dat proef je er aan af. Voor vegans een must om te bezoeken. En voor alleseters eigenlijk ook :)

An amazing place. Fantastic Michelin quality food. Informal and affordable with very friendly service. You're advised to make a reservation.

Seasonal, creative and original - what’s not to love? Friendly staff and chilled atmosphere

Amazing find. Top notch food and service.

(Translated by Google) I am not a connoisseur of vegetarian food, but this was great. Both service and the 'content'. (Original) Ben geen connaisseur op het gebied van vegetarisch eten, maar dit was top. Zowel bediening als de 'inhoud'.

There are some very tasty and innovative vegan dishes on the menu at this excellent restaurant. Vegans and vegetarians should be aware that although it is de-emphasised, meat is also served here.

(Translated by Google) Food was fine, not fantastic. The service was very poor, hence two stars. We ate 5 courses in 1.5 hours, which gave us a bit of a shed feeling. After a walk my plate was already taken away while I still had my mouth full. The bill was also given while we had not yet asked for it. Like this: you have eaten and now rotated. So you don't have to go to Yerba for a pleasant dinner. (Original) Eten was prima, niet fantastisch. De service was erg slecht, vandaar twee sterren. We hebben in 1,5 uur 5 gangen gegeten waardoor we een beetje een vreetschuur gevoel kregen. Na een gang werd m'n bord al weggehaald terwijl ik m'n mond nog vol had. Ook werd de rekening gegeven terwijl we daar nog niet om gevraag hadden. Zo van: jullie hebben gegeten en nu opgerot. Dus voor een gezellige avond tafelen moet je niet naar Yerba.

(Translated by Google) Great experience, delicious layered flavors, beautifully made-up, charming service. (Original) Geweldige ervaring, heerlijke gelaagde smaken, prachtig opgemaakt, charmante bediening.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place for vegetarians, but with an alternative for those who are not. Very good presentation on each dish, flavors achieved and very friendly staff. (Original) Muy interesante lugar para los vegetarianos, pero con alternativa para los que no lo son. Muy buena presentación en cada plato, sabores logrados y personal muy amable.

Excellent food, original and great service

Very creative, colorful and tasty plant-based restaurant ! Menus of 3 to 6 dishes to be picked from an extensive list of starters, mains and desserts. Nice wine list as well. Bonus point : dishes are available as vegan, vegetarian or for some also omnivore (with options for e.g. mussels, venison or cured egg yolk), so everyone will find a suitable option.

Wonderful food and great experience! Awesome, laid-back staff and chill atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back again. Just one thing, though: my only complaint would be the plates - the actual thing you eat from (food was amazing). Some were very textured, and running a knife and fork over the surface is really grating and loud, akin to nails on a chalkboard. Maybe I'm being a "miereneuker", but in a place that's already soundproofed, smoother plates would have made our group of 6's experience better. Just a thought. :-) Other than that, amazing food, great environment. :) Can't wait for what's next!

(Translated by Google) Super tasty and original vegetable food! (Original) Super lekker en origineel plantaardig eten!

Very tasty and memorable, and makes you want to cook like they cook. On the verge of pricy, but it's worth it! The interior is classy, can't wait til they have an outdoor section.

(Translated by Google) We picked up a meal during the Corona crisis. The starter, main and dessert was not dirty, but I didn't like it either. The dishes were not special. I didn't find it restaurant-worthy. No creativity, no special flavors. The main course included a yogurt that tasted exactly like Alpro Soy. The dessert cake was simple and dry with a dot of cream and some bland crumbs. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing, I expected more. (Original) We hebben een maaltijd afgehaald tijdens de Corona crisis. Zowel het voor, hoofd, en nagerecht was niet vies, maar lekker vond ik het ook niet. De gerechten waren niet bijzonder. Ik vond het niet restaurant-waardig. Geen creativiteit, geen bijzondere smaken. Bij het hoofdgerecht zat een yoghurt die precies smaakte als Alpro Soja. De cake bij het dessert was simpel en droog met een dot room en wat smakeloze kruimels. Helaas viel het dus erg tegen, ik had er meer van verwacht.

The best vegan restaurant in Amsterdam! And I'm always critical, so this is a big compliment

Don't expect fast food. This is a serious and great restaurant serving menus of 3 courses upwards. No fast food but really great and creative vegan cuisine. We totally loved it - both for the food and the service. They do serve meat options as well - so bring your non veg friends ;)

(Translated by Google) Fantastic vegetarian / vegan restaurant. Is this really an eggplant? Damn, didn't know you could make such a treat! Good atmosphere, nice service, tasty wines and simply super tasty food. Maybe do something about the acoustic echo of the room, but everything else is absolutely great! (Original) Fantastisch vegetarisch / vegan restaurant. Is dit echt een aubergine? Damn, wist niet dat je er zo iets lekkers van kon maken! Goede sfeer, fijne bediening, lekkere wijnen en simpelweg super lekker eten. Misschien wat aan de akoestische echo van de ruimte doen maar verder alles helemaal top!

Definitely a gem in the middle of Amsterdam. The food it's amazing and the service fantastic. We were attended by the owner and he explained everything with so much love and care... A place to come back!

A wake up call to your taste buds....even if you don’t « believe » in vegan cheese. Friendly staff and great service. Super creative dishes and amazing use of chocolate! Brownie, mousse 🤤and magnum (great dark chocolate quality)

The food was so amazing, we were amazed. All plant based with wonderful flavors that were carefully curated. Looked amazing and the staff was really really nice. Had a great time!

We went to Yerba for a quick brunch soon after the terraces reopened in Amsterdam. We got 2 dishes each. The portions were quite food for the price. Presentation was on point. I feel the strongest points are definitely the seasonal vegetables, which were fresh and colorful, and the varied choice and pairings. There were many things in the menu that I had never heard of, it's much of a modern, fusion type of kitchen and I'd surely go back to try more of those great sounding dishes. To me, however, everything tasted a bit too bland. Even though the use of the spices was wise and strategic, which I appreciated, I felt like some of the dishes could use a bit more salt to bring out the taste. Also, I ordered scrambled tofu but couldn't really get that egg-y after taste that is usually conveyed by using the kala namak salt (that sulfurous salt that is always used in tofu scramble). I could taste more a mix of other spices that I would not personally have chosen. It didn't taste off at all, it was nice, but not what I was expecting. It was also a bit dry. The avocado toast was delicious thanks to an amazing sourdough bread they used. Crazy to think it was gluten free bread because I couldn't have guessed. Overall I would go back again after trying many other vegan restaurants in town. Also, they offer some vegetarian options and even a meat option that they say it's local or something like that. I would have loved to see an all veggie menu - or at least vegetarian - as we all know that it doesn't matter where you get your meat, it is still extremely unsustainable, not to mention cruel.

Delicious fresh served meals. I loved it, especially the green shakshuka. But it is not optimal for small children as they often prefer more simple dishes.

I expected more from this dinner, taking into account that the restaurant recommended by gault&millau. The food was not really tasty - artichokes over-fried and too salty, celeriac kebab was like an Indian fast food with the bean from can. My husband ordered leek with boar, I think better not to propose meat option than serve this. Deserts were good.

Definitely would come again and recommend this place. We had each all courses (plus the cheese) and if it were only for the dessert, I would give 7 stars! (or more! and for the plant-based cheese, too) Yap. This place is soo good. However, some courses did not convince us (flavor, texture). I think the concept is great, the people are, the location and atmosphere is beautiful, the food is overall extremely good but there is some variation in the quality of the dishes. Because my partner and I wanted to try all dishes, we choose some courses differently. My boyfriend had two dishes that were okay/unspectacular in taste and one of the courses we were both a bit disappointed and didn't like the combination. Of course, taste is subjective. Overall, the food was really good and the wine pairing outstanding. We will come again!

The food is outstanding and creative, and real compliments for the service which was attentive and subtle, and not at all intrusive. I would highly recommend trying this great restaurant!

Amazing!!! Best plants base food I've ever tried... Definitely something to try in Amsterdam!! Don't miss desserts are de best part :)
