Ira’s Vegetarian & Vegan Amsterdam Hotspots 🥕🥦
For smart travelers, accidental vegans, and everyone who just wants better food.
Alright, herbivores and the “wait, that’s vegan?!” crowd—let’s make one thing clear: Amsterdam isn’t just about stroopwafels and cheese. If you’re after something green, glorious, and a bit rebellious, this city’s got you covered. Here’s my lowdown on spots where you can skip the meat without skipping the magic.
TerraZen Centre
Address: Sint Jacobsstraat 19HS
Fusion gets funky. Caribbean meets Japanese—yes, you read that right. This family-run nook serves up vegan curry, sushi, and a side of actual good vibes. Expect meals €10–16, and don’t be shocked if you leave with a new friend or two. 🍛🍣
Golden Temple Vegetarisch
Address: Utrechtsestraat 126
A local legend for 30+ years. Vegetarian, international, but with an Indian soul. Bonus: There’s yoga on the menu. Come for the daal, stay for the downward dog. 🥘🧘♀️
De Bolhoed
Address: Prinsengracht 60–62
Vegetarian with a wild streak. Art everywhere, staff who look like they just finished a painting (they might have), and food that’s as colorful as the crowd. Figure on €18 for a meal. 🎨🥗
This isn’t the “vegetarian section in the back” type of city. Here, plant-based eating is front and center, as it should be.
So, whether you’re living that veggie life, dabbling for the planet, or just want something you won’t find in guidebooks, Amsterdam is your kind of rebellious.
Now, go eat like you mean it. And if you find a spot I missed, don’t be shy—let’s keep this list dangerously good.
