5x vega(n) hotspots in Amsterdam

Lisa Stel, founder of the Lisa goes Vegan platform, has been eating vegan for years and is thrilled that she can now visit more and more lunchrooms and restaurants. These are her favorites.

Spoiler alert: “It’s a bit of an Amsterdam bubble, but that’s because I live there and that’s where most of this is happening.”

Hummus bistro

“You’re probably thinking, ‘Ugh, hummus again’, but it’s really delicious. Their pita bread alone is wonderful.”

Beter & Leuk

“A lovely and affordable breakfast and lunch spot in Amsterdam-Oost. With delicious breakfast bowls and pancakes, and they serve my vegan egg salad too!”

Spirit

“A buffet restaurant I often take people to. A little expensive, but it’s fantastic and I think it’s absolutely worth the money. Definitely try the seitan and tempeh—the marinade is so special.”

Mr. Stacks

“I usually have breakfast at home, but when I do eat out, I sometimes go to Mr. Stacks. It’s not necessarily a vegetarian or vegan place, but they do have delicious vegan pancakes.”

Men Impossible

“A vegan ramen spot in the Jordaan. The owner is Japanese and makes the ramen fresh every day. It’s absolutely delicious! It’s a small place, so it fills up quickly. Reservations are a must!”
