Itinerary
Margo’s is where vegan indulgence meets Parisian charm. This 100% plant-based bakery is famous for its buttery croissants, creamy tarts, and flaky pistachio rolls that make even the most loyal dairy-lovers reconsider. Everything is handmade with top-quality organic ingredients, free from refined sugar, and absolutely stunning to look at. But Margo’s isn’t just about beauty – it’s about raising the standard for vegan patisserie. Whether you go for the chocolate ganache tart or the delicate madeleines, this is the kind of place that turns “I’m just browsing” into “I’ll take three.”
We will show you what de Hallen are all about!
De Vegan Sushi Bar is a gamechanger in the world of plant-based dining. Their menu is a feast of colors, textures, and umami-packed bites that reimagine sushi without fish – and without compromise. Think spicy “tuna” rolls made with watermelon, “shrimp” nigiri that looks and tastes shockingly real, and crispy tempura creations that satisfy every craving. The vibe is sleek and stylish, but never pretentious. This spot is for sushi lovers, planet lovers, and anyone curious about how far vegan innovation has come. Spoiler alert: very far.
Larry’s is a neighborhood gem in Amsterdam West where good vibes and bold flavors go hand in hand. This place brings together global street food with local attitude – think bao buns filled with crispy jackfruit, tangy pickles, and spicy sauces that hit just right. The space feels like a modern diner with a conscious twist: fully plant-based, no compromises on taste. Whether you’re here for brunch, bites or beers, Larry’s makes it easy to fall in love with food that’s fun, flavorful, and entirely animal-free. You might come for the bao, but you’ll stay for the energy.
In Amsterdam Oud-West, Mr. Blou is more than just a food stall. It’s a neighborhood institution. During our tour, we stop here to witness how a simple classic is elevated into a PlantBased masterpiece. Forget everything you know about dry, mass-produced falafel. Mr. Blou serves gold-standard street food: vibrant green on the inside from fresh herbs, and perfectly golden-crisp on the outside. Tucked into a soft pita with crunchy veggies and signature sauces, every bite is a explosion of flavor and texture. While you enjoy your wrap, we’ll share the story of how this local legend became a cornerstone of the area’s creative food scene. It’s the ultimate example of how passionate, small-scale entrepreneurs are defining the taste of modern Amsterdam. Authentic, high-quality, and deeply satisfying—this is street food at its absolute finest.
Soil is where plant-based food meets earthy soul. This café in Amsterdam West serves up vibrant, wholesome dishes inspired by global street food – all 100% vegan. From Korean-style rice bowls to creamy truffle polenta and spicy jackfruit tacos, every dish is built on bold flavors and nourishing ingredients. Soil’s motto? “Eat like it matters.” That means no processed nonsense, lots of creativity, and a big focus on sustainability. It’s the kind of place where you feel good about everything you order – and where even omnivores leave impressed.
Meatless District is a longtime favorite in the Amsterdam vegan scene – and for good reason. With its industrial-chic interior and laid-back atmosphere, it’s the perfect place for a casual meal that feels a bit elevated. The menu balances comfort and creativity: think seitan steaks with roasted veggies, juicy burgers with housemade sauces, and rich desserts that don’t mess around. Everything is 100% vegan, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. If you’re looking for a spot that proves vegan food can be just as satisfying and sophisticated as any fine dining experience, Meatless District delivers.

About Amsterdam
Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.
The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
