#586 Pizza Ok, but not very welcoming, Trevi’s, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #586 – Italian vegan restaurant! In Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We were here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch (around 2.30 pm) as this place is listed as being open all afternoon. There was one person nearly finished with lunch.

#556 Lovely food, spacious relaxed place, vegan restaurant Veganees, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #556 – Vegan restaurant in Amsterdam! With an Asian inspired menu. Figurine seen in souvenir shop in Amsterdam= Speciesist representation of animals in popular culture.Even if no animals are physically harmed with this mini statue, it consolidates a framing as animals existing to entertain us. Elephants are not meant to do tricks. See my presentation ‘Representations of other animals‘ at the International Animal Rights Conference. (see video below)

#548 Nice lunch at Vegan sushi Bar, Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam

restaurant review #548 – Fish are sentient beings, capable of suffering immensely. Just because you can’t hear them, doesn’t mean they don’t scream. Fish feel pain like other sentient animals. Choose compassion, choose justice, choose vegan!

#477 Nice lunch, vegan clearly labelled, Suikerkist, Breda (NL)

restaurant review #477 – Large place, in city center, with vegan options clearly labelled. There are several places in Breda, but not that many open for lunch, on a Monday! Had the Food came swiftly and was good! Way too much, we over ordered (sometimes a bit confused by the lunch options in the NL, one serving seems too little, two – too much!) 😄 but we managed to finish it all, except for the bread that came with the croquettes (took it with us). Very spacious outdoor seating.Not accessible, steps to get in. Old building.Toilet upstairs. There was nothing to dry one’s hands after washing. So how do staff do this? #hygieneplease From a visit in May 2024, when we drove to Amsterdam for the show of TOOL 😎🤟, which was awesome (one song on my youtube! ) Suikerkist Havermarkt 2 4811 WG Breda Nederland website: https://suikerkist.nl/ Looking for restaurants? ~ 450+ personal restaurant reviews ~ See my lists of restaurants where vegans are welcome in the menu section of The Bruges vegan!

#463 Fantastic sushis! Vegan Sushi Bar, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #463 – When I went vegan 15 years ago, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find vegan options in Amsterdam. Now, the number of vegan (friendly) restaurants is overwhelming. So much choice!! 😯😎

#277 Quick lunch at Maoz Muntplein, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #277 – Maoz is an international chain of vegan fastfood restaurants, with several locations in Amsterdam. I visited the one in the city center of Amsterdam (Muntplein) last Winter. So this review is from a restaurant visit from before the lockdown measures due to the COVID19 pandemic started. You can take all you want from the ‘salad’ bar to pimp your falafel or mushroom bread. Salad or pita bread is only 5,95€. The food is very cheap, but was delicious.

This review is from a restaurant visit in 2019, so before the lockdown measures due to the COVID19 pandemic started. There are two location of Meatless District, one in the soutside of town, and this one in the Da Costa neighbourhood, on the west side of town. We were here for lunch on a weekday. As it was a hot Summer day, we sat on the terrace, in front of the restaurant. Unfortunately it’s a very busy road, with busses and cars driving by instantly.
