6 Incredible Vegan Restaurants In Amsterdam That Will Satisfy Any Tastebuds
The menus are packed with incredible flavours.
This year it was revealed that people in the Netherlands eat the highest amount of meat substitutes per capita in Europe. People decide to go meat-free for different reasons and Amsterdam’s foodie culture has shifted so much over the past couple of decades that it’s almost unrecognizable. As people strive to cut down on the number of animal products that they consume, all kinds of inventive and creative spaces have popped up across the city, and Amsterdam is truly leading the way in vegan cuisine.
1. Mr and Mrs Watson
📍Linnaeuskade 3h, 1098 BC
Mr And Mrs Watson serves amazing, gourmet vegan food, including the most delicious burgers. Most of the burgers are whiskey smoked, giving them a deep, fiery flavour. The ‘meat’ is tender, very rich in flavour and seasoned beautifully, and their buns are lovely and fluffy. Plus, their vegan cheeses are definitely not to be missed. Their vegan faux goats cheese dip is to die for, and the prosecco cheese fondue will put you into a food coma, it’s so good.
