Amazing vegan food in Amsterdam

by

Post by:

Amsterdam really has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. While not so long ago vegan visitors had to seek out the few decent places, today that same visitor is spoilt for choice.

One recently-opened example is the Vegan Junk Food Bar, which doesn’t really need a description as it’s all in the title.

And it’s as tasty as it looks! Pictured below is a “golden crunchy seaweed sandwich” (a burger really, but filled with these crispy nuggetty bits of deliciousness) and “Loaded VJFB” fries, which came topped with all sorts of crazy goodness.

Prices are as expected for Amsterdam, and it’s proven so popular that they frequently sell out before closing time, so if you’re going (and if you’re in Amsterdam, you must) don’t get there too late.

Vegan donuts in Amsterdam

by

Amsterdam is full of vegan surprises.

Such as vegan donuts in a non-vegan donut shop.

Tasty Donuts is a donut and coffee chain with outlets in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Slovakia.

Each Tasty Donuts shop has one of their trays dedicated to vegan donuts. As you can see in the photos above, there are four flavours from which to choose including one called Blacky(?!).

The Amsterdam outlet didn’t have a whole lot left on the vegan shelf when I visited late in the day, however what they did have was extremely tasty.

You can visit the Tasty Donuts website to discover all the locations.

Vegan high tea

by

This was certainly the FINEST vegan high tea I have ever been served. Get along to Koffie ende Koeck in Amsterdam for a treat you won’t soon forget.

I stopped by this cute and comfortable coffee shop with my friend Bob. As I had arrived early, I ordered the high tea for two people but was surprised when Bob showed up with her new boyfriend.

No matter. The high tea was crammed with so much food, we needed the third guest to ensure we devoured everything served.

Check it out.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place.

The high tea was superb, with sandwiches so delicious we all ordered multiple more for takeout. You might not be able to spot them too clearly in the photo but mini glasses of tiramisu came as one of the many cake and cookie options.

The tower also included bakewell tart, chocolate cake with pistachos and rose sponge.

Follow Koffie ende Koeck on Instagram and Facebook. Click here to see where they are located in Amsterdam on Google maps.

Extra note: you need to order ahead for the high tea. I seriously begged to have it with no notice. I’m a jerk. Don’t be like me.

A vegan hat trick in Amsterdam

by

I’m on the vegan cruise, wrapped up warmly on the ship as we float through the mist-shrouded waters of Europe.

It’s beautiful.

But before the ship departed Amsterdam, I made time to visit these three fabulous vegan hot spots.

Visiting the gorgeous @vegabondfood in Amsterdam. Very special #vegan cafe and grocery store. xx

It is wonderful to see a city so alive with vegan options and opportunities.

Of course there is plenty more for vegans to see and do in Amsterdam, so I will be having a quick scout around once my ship return to the city in a week. I’ve heard whispers of a place with a high tea!

My Amsterdam odyssey continues, bringing us to the charming Vegabond. Very centrally located, the café is not far from the popular Anne Frank museum.

We went here for a late breakfast one afternoon and were pleased to find a tofu scramble on the menu (nearly always a good option!) which came with delicious slices of avocado and spinach leaves on top. The ‘El Jefe’ hot sauces on the table livened things up nicely.

Vegabond isn’t just a café. It’s also got a decent selection of vegan groceries, including chilled and frozen foods and a wide range of sweets (we stocked up on all the new Nakd flavours!).

Amsterdam

Just a couple of years ago, Amsterdam was pretty poor for vegan stuff. I was very surprised to discover this as Amsterdam has a reputation as being counter-cultural, alternative and free-thinking, yet there was a lack of vegan restaurants (and the vegetarian ones were pretty poor, too).

Conversely, according to my Dutch friends, the Hague has a reputation as being a boring, buttoned-up city of government workers and lawyers – yet the vegan options there were far better than in Amsterdam.

But happily, times have changed and Amsterdam now has a decent selection of vegan places, many of which have opened in the last couple of years. So let’s have a quick run around a few of them during my next few blog posts, shall we?

First, let’s visit what might be my favourite new Amsterdam eatery of our recent trip – DopHert. We’d heard good things about DopHert, so were eager to try out their menu, which had lots of tasty items on it.
