Tasty fine dining experience - Edit
We had an amazing vegan 5 course experience with wine pairing. Everything was so tasty and service was great as well! We had a great dessert as well but i forgot take the pic, it went a bit too fast😄

White asparagus ice cream - Edit
Same as in the title, go for the dessert. I am sure you cannot try any other white asparagus vegan ice cream in any other place in the world. It was really exquisite. We went for lunch so the main plates were rather small, and I found them somewhat underwhelming, I expected something better. Nonetheless I would come back just for the ice cream!

Amazing - Edit
Yerba is a really nice and delicious restaurant. The food there is great. It's been a while since we ate here, but I remember the asparagus ice cream in the shape of a magnum very well! Highly recommended. I could definitely go back here!

Try it! - Edit
Original, creative, yummy. We stopped in on a Saturday evening. No ala carte. 4 courses 43 euro. All good. This is really veggie friendly. The option is to add fish or whatever in case you have non-veggie companions

Vegan auf Sterneniveau - Edit
Es ist schade, dass ich keine 5 Sterne vergeben darf, weil das Restaurant nicht völlig fleischfrei ist. Es gibt ein veganes Menü aus 3 bis 5 Hauptspeisen plus Nachtisch auf Sterneniveau. Eins leckerer als das andere. Mit das Beste, was ich an veganer Küche bisher gegessen habe. Absolute Empfehlung!

A transformative vegan gastronomic experience - Edit
This restaurant shows what it's like to have vegan fine dining. And yes, it is a vegan restaurant though they call themselves 'plant forward' because they offer fish/meat for 2 of their courses as add ons for those meat eaters who just don't want an entirely vegan meal. However, the meat is the add on here, and not vegan substitution as it usually happens in other places.
Read moreBe aware that you can have 4, 5, or 6 courses with portions adjusted depending on the number of portions. Our meal started with a hush puppies amuse buse, went on to white asparagus in a stunningly delicious sauce, over onto salsify cooked four different ways, then cashew cheese with potatoes on a delicious pepper and tomato sauce. Every course was perfectly paired with a fantastic wine sourced from all over Europe. The dessert was a fantastic, mind-blowing blend of flavors, and The last course was an add-on and had amchur powder and turmeric!
The owner, Walter, works in the open kitchen with three others, and our server Alex was very knowledgeable of all the course and wines. We left there transformed, impressed, and with one of the most memorable meals of our lives.

Fine dining - Edit
Vibrant and modern restaurant in the heart of the Pijp district, close to the Museumplein. Menu is powered by plants, what means the main menu is fully vegan. We were explained there were some dishes with option to add fish or meat - but it’s rather not a first recommendation - and I believe people who choose meat option still are served mostly plant-based dishes 🌱 it might be a good place to invite vegan-sceptics! you can order a’la cart or decide to go with the chefs menu - what we did. Next time I would decide to order a’la cart to make sure we eat different dishes and share to explore more tastes, as everything looks delicious! There’s also a wine paring possibility with 6euro per glass per dish. The only downsize was the the place is very noisy - not typical for Amsterdam. So if you miss a big city vibe - you will enjoy 💫
Read morePros: Fine dining, Tasty , Mostly vegan
Cons: Noisy place , Quite pricy

Yerba: don't bring the mates - Edit
Alright restaurant. The Yerba Mate's were really good, and my girlfriend got the Cajun Hush Puppies. Those and the Cajun Fried were pretty good, hence the three stars, but my waffles and sausage tasted very bland - the sauce was awful.
Read moreCocktails were great though!
Pros: Good place for cocktails and fries
Cons: Not very extensive

Delicious, meticulous, fine-dining experience. - Edit
Mostly plant-based, they do offer some non-vegan “additions”, which in my opinion can go. Would be 5 stars if they did

Amazing - Edit
We had a 5 course menu with wine paring. Everything vegan which was amazing! Great flavours, definitely a restaurant I would love to visit frequently. It’s strange I can’t rate them 5 stars but it definitely is an all vegan restaurant..

Delicious vegan - Edit
Delicious vegan food with great wine pairing.
Read moreGreat service and to come when you are not in a rush. Each dish comes at its own time and it is nice to enjoy slowly.
Should the app allow, I would have given it 5 stars.

Great dining experience - Edit
Loved the food, portion sizes were great, beautiful new tastes and textures highlighting the produce itself. The possibility to add meat to one of the dishes seems superfluous and unnecessary to the menu, considering the beautiful work done in the dishes. Wine pairing was also great. The atmosphere is a little fancy, young and laid back; great for a little celebration diner with friends.

Loved it - Edit
I have been here one month ago. I already had the cookbook Smaak and I finally got there. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good. I had the best dessert dessert wine pairing ever! I can't describe the match made in heaven.

Plant-based haven! - Edit
The food was without a doubt exceptional. I loved the inclusion of sea vegetables (something we need far more of in other restaurants!) the price was fair for the quality. The only downside was that I found the atmosphere to be a little too loud and almost ‘party’ like, which was distracting from the flavours.
Read morePros: Innovative , Beautiful presentation, Fresh flavours
Cons: A little pricey, Was a little loud

This restaurant needs 5 stars! - Edit
Yerba is plant forward and only offers animal supplements on request. Very innovative and Walter, their chef, is a true artist!
Read moreIt’s one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam and I took many meat lovin’ friends here. They all loved it and without exception they said they were amazed that vegan food can taste so good and didn’t miss meat or other animal products!
Their cheeses and ice creams are a must try!

Amazing taste combinations - Edit
We had a 6 course meal, the waiter who was super friendly asked us if we wanted the same dishes or different ones so we could share a bit and taste even 12 different dishes. It was wonderful! The staff was nice, the food was delicious and there is a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

A very lovely evening with fab food & wine - Edit
Went here to start the summer holiday and what a fabulous start. *overall plantbased and we were not asked if we wated meat etc and did not notice others eating meat*
Read moreWe went for the 6 course as we wanted to try out all kinds of dishes. There are 4 starters, 4 mains, 4 desserts and their own made cheese platter to choose from. Smooth transition between courses
Wine pairing can be per course or for certain courses and really good combination. Forgot to take photo's as we were too intrigued by the dishes.
Perfect evening.
Pros: Fabulous food, very friendly staff,
Cons: Hard to choose from all the great dishes.

Don't expect fast food - Edit
Don't expect fast food. This is a serious and great restaurant serving menus of 3 courses upwards. No fast food but really great and creative vegan cuisine. We totally loved it - both for the food and the service. They do serve meat options as well - so bring your non veg friends ;)
Read morePros: Menu is purely vegan with non-vegan options

Lovely restaurant for a special occasion - Edit
My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant to celebrate a belated Valentine’s Day. The food was really good (all plant based) with lots of different flavors (it’s a bit experimental, so some combinations of flavors were delicious, others less to our taste) Portions are not big, but three courses was still enough for us (you can go up to six). It’s an expensive place, so I would save it for a special occasion.
Read morePros: All dishes are plant based , Nice staff, Great to try some more experimental vegan dishes
Cons: There’s the option to add meat or fish , It’s a bit expensive

Teleurstellend - Edit
Smaken zijn vlak. Texturen passen niet bij elkaar. Porties zeer klein
Read moreOm het voor normale mensen aantrekkelijk te maken wordt gezegd dat er ook vlees/vis bijbesteld kan worden. Dan kan idd: ter grootte van een vingerhoed. Belachelijk.
We zijn daarna nog even naar een dönertent gegaan.
Service tikkeltje arrogant, spreekt nauwelijks Nederlands.
Pros: Veggies might get happy
Cons: Normal people not.
