The food was pretty good. Loved that it was strictly vegan! Giving it 4 stars, because the food looked absolutely beautiful but the taste was just good, nothing special honestly.

Good burger - Edit
The burger was really good, even with the turquoise sauce & fries were nice but I found it quite pricey at 18.50, maybe I'm out of touch with prices in Amsterdam.

Best restaurant food I have ever tried so far - Edit
If you go here get the VJFB Beastie (vegan schawarma) sandwich and the Betterballs, my boyfriend and I were in awe of how delicious the food was 1000000/10 so savory and scrumptious, perfect bread texture, perfect seasoning, perfect fillings.
Read moreTheir cocktails are delicious also, I had the Tipsy Unicorn, it was fragrant and fruity
That sandwich is so good, I don't even think I can bear getting anything else next time I eat here

Best burger ever! - Edit
This was honestly the best burger I've ever had. My two meat eating companions really enjoyed it and couldn't believe it was vegan. I could have eaten there for the rest of my life if I lives in Amsterdam. Sadly I'll have to just dream of that happening one day!

Prima eten - Edit
Was lekker eten, wel druk. Vooral goede mocktail! We hadden shared dining voor twee, maar deze portie was niet super groot.

Would give this a miss - Edit
Food is fine but it's really expensive for what it is. Having now read about the owner treating staff poorly and opening non vegan restaurants, I would also give it a wide berth because of that.

Amazing 👏 - Edit
Visited back in 2018 with my non vegan husband and this restaurant was the place he started being more open to eating vegan food. We were both mind blown by the burgers 🤤

Great quality vegan burger - Edit
A great quality vegan burger! We both had a Notorious burger with Frites uit Zuyd - tasty, saucy, juicy and fun with the black and pink buns. A generous portion for the fries. We ordered to collect through Uber Eats and the food was ready very quickly. Would have loved to try their other options.

One of Amsterdam’s Vegan Legends - Edit
Vegan Junk Food Bar will always be one of the OG spots serving actual good vegan junk food, with their own signature recipes. The classic kapsalon is always a must-order! I don’t go as often these days, but it’s always a "feestje" when I do, usually when friends from abroad are visiting. The vibe inside can get a bit loud, so I prefer coming in summer to sit outside on the terrace. It’s a shame the other branches have closed #rip, so I really hope the one at Marie Heinekenplein stays around for a long time. Even if I don’t visit as often as I used to, long live the VJFB, one I’ll never forget. ✌️

Fab menu and location - Edit
Third time visiting this restaurant, and I just love the atmosphere and menu. The new sharwarma wrap is so good but really spolit for choice and left feeling full and happ, which is partly down to the lovely cocktail options.

Fun Junk Food - Edit
Go here for a vegan junk food option in Amsterdam. We were satisfied with the food although the onion rings seemed to be mostly batter and minimal onion. They make food look fun with all the brightly coloured sauces and buns. Maybe more gimmicky than actual value to the overall flavour but still a nice little spot if this is the type of meal you’re looking for.

Junk options for vegans - Edit
Everything is in the name of the restaurant. You can find many kinds of fast food-inspired options but vegan, like chicken wings or burgers. Probably not the best for diet but nice for comfort food. It would be nice for vegetarians who still miss meat

Good food but not very exciting - Edit
We came here because of being recommended to by many people.
Read moreWe do not really understand the hype, to be honest. The food was good but also tasted pretty generic. The colors were fun, and since it's been around for a relatively long time it was still interesting. But we probably won't come again. Also the "wingz" were more like Nuggets

Amazing vegan chicken wings! - Edit
The Sumo Platter is perfect if you want to try a bit of everything. We were glad to try the vegan bitterballen, but the real star was the vegan chicken wings — absolutely amazing! The sauces were delicious too. Great atmosphere with fun music. Can’t wait to come back and try the burgers next time!
