I have a lot of vegan and plant-based friends. 10 years ago when they asked me out to eat, I always dreaded what fresh vegan hell I was in for. Fast forward a few years and now I'm delighted to accompany them to vegan restaurants such as Meatless District in Amsterdam, NL. The food was exquisite as was the service. I'm now obsessed with watermelon sashimi. I prefer this vegan bitterballen to the traditional because I didn't like the texture of the meat inside. I feel the dutch really like pureed meat. The mushroom bitterballen was so delicious as was everything else. The braised artichoke was just ok. Nothing to write home about but nothing wrong with it. It's just that everything else was so unique including the desserts. Lovely ambiance in the restaurant. I give my experience a 4 overall for the artichoke and I must mention the bathroom. This is more of a Dutch thing than anything else. Gender neutral bathrooms are cool. We Americans don't see that a lot. The problem is the individual stall was up a flight of stairs and so small that I couldn't even sit on the toilet and then there was nothing to pull myself up to get out the position I had gotten myself into. It was awkward. This stall needs a bar or something to help those of us who are not as able as we used to be. I'd go eat here again to try more of their dishes. read more

This wonderful place is about a 1/2 kilometer from my apartment, so a five minute walk. It's a large, beautiful space on a picturesque Amsterdam street with trams and bikes going by. Woody Harrelson just ate here last week too! I met him out front on Saturday as he was walking by the Meatless District, so I suppose he went in to try the next day. The food is good, need to try several options to find your favorite. The service is friendly and respectful. So many options and a nice bar and drinks! read more

I am obsessed with the vibe this restaurant has. It's moody and romantic and so very cozy. This is a place you could spend hours if you wanted to. They let you relax and there is no rush they want you to enjoy the experience. The staff was helpful with the menu and quick to bring our food and drinks out. This is a shareable type restaurant and menu. You can order small dishes one at a time to share but we ordered a few because we like trying things at the same time. We got mushroom scallops with fake caviar and bacon. The flavor was so tasty and the dish was so creative. My favorite was the mushroom skewers with the sauce on top. It was creamy with a little spice and the mushrooms were so tender and melted in my mouth. The Korean cauliflower was delectable and the sauce was so flavorful! We also got creme brûlée which I have never had and it was a new experience for me ! It was so creamy and sweet. You can tell the kitchen staff loves what they do and that love is in all of the recipes. I highly recommend to anybody to come here vegan or not. The entire menu is vegan which was amazing for me and I loved it. 10/10 read more

It's a very cute place. But the dishes came out really slowly. The artichoke looks very pretty, but very hard to eat. Loved the Korean cauliflowers. The taco was okay. read more

Yelp says it was open til 4pm today. I walked a mile and a half to get here and it is in fact closed.

We came here on our trip and had a wonderful time! The food was incredible. Here's a little video of our experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYKfkqyH1bE read more

We arrived around 8pm on a weeknight with dying phones and really in need of a charge. The woman who helped us was so kind - she charged our phones without hesitation, and even convinced the kitchen staff to make us a salad and burger (kitchen had just closed before we arrived). We were so grateful and everything was delicious! We got the chicken Caesar salad and kimchi burger, espresso martinis, and a mojito. My friend who is a meat eater said the vegan chicken tasted eerily close to real chicken. We loved it so much that we actually tried to return a couple nights later, but the restaurant was unexpectedly closed. Would definitely recommend! read more

The risotto: banging The soup: banging Artichoke dip: banging Plate of vegan cheese: it should win an award for banging so hard. And the cheesecake, absolutely BANGING. All of this, and it was an absolute steal. Very affordable, very delicious. read more

Meatless District - Clean place and friendly faces - Vegan Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I went here for the first time about a month ago. LOCATION: This location is kind of out of the way and away from most of the interesting areas of the city, hence the lower score. 2/5 ATMOSPHERE: The decor isn't anything worthwhile in my opinion, but it was fairly clean. 3/5 SELECTION: It's all vegan, which is great, but to be honest, I feel like their menu could be a bit bigger. Maybe it'd be better if the lunch and dinner portions of their menu were combined and offered together, from lunchtime on, instead of two separate sections at two separate times. Also, I think they're menu prices are a tad expensive for what they are and the fact that it isn't like a super fancy restaurant or anything. I feel like a lot of the items could be about €3 less. 2/5 WHAT I GOT: I got their risotto. It was the first risotto I've ever had (that I can remember lol), and it was alright. It was hot, which was good, but I feel like it could've taste better. The ingredients are listed as: asparagus, fresh peas, lemon, 'parmesan' crisp, pea shoots, and tarragon oil, but I feel like they just kind of all melded together and all I could mostly taste was an oily flavor over rice. Maybe that's poor judgement because it was my first time having risotto, but it just tasted like oily rice with a hint of a vegetable-y taste. It still, at least, tasted of good and freshly-made quality though lol. 3/5 SERVICE: The service was alright. I feel like the employees could've seemed a little friendly, but at least our food didn't take terribly long. 3/5 read more

I got the cauliflower steak, but my favorite part of the dish was actually the potatoes. They were the perfect temperature (which to me means a little bit on the hotter/steamier side, but not enough to scald you). And lathered with the mustard/mayo (I think?) and the cauliflower steak sauce... I was about to explode towards the end of the meal, but I couldn't stop eating the potatoes. As for the cauliflower steak, it was good, but I would deduct a point for it being a little bit difficult to eat. As for everything else, it's a lovely restaurant with good service. My server was really friendly and attentive (not just to me, but also to everyone else she was serving). read more

I ate here three times during my week in Amsterdam. It was very, very, very good. On the first visit, we split the MD cheeseburger with fries, an asparagus soup and a caeser salad. The fries (AKA chips) were amazing, the best I had in Amsterdam. They were served with vegan mayo and ketchup with some ground pumpkin seeds. The burger was so tasty, one of my all time favorite veggie burgers. On the second visit, we had brunch and it was very filling and pretty good. For 15 euro, you select a dish, and it includes freshly squeezed OJ and coffee. I'm not sure why the restaurant was so quiet on a Saturday for brunch. Perhaps brunch isn't as much of a thing in Amsterdam? I liked the "English" style breakfast, it came with amazing vegan sausage. On my third visit, I had an MD cheeseburger and fries all to myself. Yum. Then I split a fried banana and ice cream dessert which was quite spicy and tasty. read more

I don't know where those people eat, that have rated this 5 stars?? Thank you for the stomach pain that both my husband and I have now. This is not Vegan food!!! I am giving it 1 Star for the Staff that was nice but I would have giving it 0 Stars! (We had "dinner" here on Sep 5th 2017!) -We had the MD Burger for 16€ hahaha(the patty was so thin and the whole burger just had 1 piece of "cheese" and a little green in it , the fries served with it where old and the end pieces of them! ) Try making a black bean burger I can give you my recipe! -Fried Cauliflower (when you fry something you also have to put it on a napkin before you serve it so we don't end up having the grease all over. And the cauliflower was still very raw you would think that when you fry something it would be done! I bet it was from the freezer!!) -we had the steak tartar as well to try (where should I begin. They made it look like real meat! WTF!? Vegans don't want to see meat on their plates! The 2 pieces of truffle chips where pathetic. Be Creative with vegetable tartar for example! and add at least 10 pieces of chips with it!) Sorry but having eaten vegan food all over the world this chef is not creative at all. Vegan food is not about eating food that have to look like meat! There are so many different varieties of fruit and vegetables that you can make so many dishes out of. I do it myself at home and am more creative. There was no flavors at all, just some pretending "vegan/ plant based food" Please look up Vegan chefs and Vegan creative home cooks and learn some stuff! Sorry but I am a honest Guest and reviewer! read more

MD is a good vegan restaurant / cafe in the city. The overall atmosphere is down to earth and light. You get a sort of look into the kitchen, It's always nice when you can see how your food is being made. The staff is really nice, smiling and helpful. As for the food, I ordered the Vegan Burger, with fries. The plate was beautiful. The tofu patty was thick and tasteful but a bit dry, but the sauces added the right moisture. The vegetables are thin, and only add texture, as they are raw (except for the ONE small slice of eggplant placed in the middle, so yeah, you don't get it through every bite). The bread (sourdough I think?) was a tad fragile, as I like to push down my burger to eat it (sadly, the bread and patty were starting to break) and the veggies falling out. I just settled to not eating the top bun (there's no sauce on it anyway). The fries were really good! Fresh and not too greasy. The ketchup was sprinkled with pumpkin seeds. And there was a vegan mayo, with a bit of garlic. Good good! Would definitely go back! read more

So good - amazing vegan food and dessert - would suggest for any vegans traveling in the area or anyone who is curious to try new things!

If you're looking for a vegan restaurant while your Swedish boyfriend continues to recover from a night where he ate a bad hazelnut(?), yet insists it was a mix of Amnesia Haze and champagne (indignant gasp!), this restaurant is adorable, has the best fresh orange/peach juice mimosas and an amazing rosewater crème brûlée. read more

Portions are miniature to the size of ridicule. A "tortelini" plate that contained a total of three tortelini. Absurd. Of the plates ordered here, one was okay, two were completely tiny, and a third (the soup) had obviously been left in a metal pan overnight because the entire dish had a harsh metalic taste that had to be sent back. Unluckily this is the quality to be expected from most "trendy" vegan locations in this city. European resturaunts do not seem to come close to american counterparts. read more

As the world is slowly going vegan, some memories are hard to forget. A taste for hamburgers is one of these. But with the hamburgers at Meatless you can enjoy the full flavor of a hamburger and still eat completely VEGAN!! Enjoy! read more

My spouse and I cannot believe we had not eater at MD before. However, now that we have discovered it, it could easily be our favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. The food is out of this world and it is all vegan. We decided to do both breakfast and lunch there, being that we arrived a little after 11:00 am and breakfast ends at 12:00 and lunch begins. For breakfast we had scrumptious vegan pancakes and one of the best vegan grilled cheese sandwiches ever. For the lunch portion, a vegan chicken Caesar salad (the best I have ever had) and also the MD Burger. They serve a vegan Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the side of the sandwich and on top of the salad that is to die for. A vegan I know says she and her friends eat there about twice a week. Now I know why. It is not to be missed. Our server, Charlotte, was so wonderful and friendly, which made the entire experience even more terrific. read more

We got the "chicken" appetizer and the burgers with sweet potato fries. My fiancé said this is the BEST veggie burger he has ever had. Very friendly service, clean/hip restaurant. Nice cocktails (gin with elderflower!). Would absolutely recommend for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. read more

What an amazing place! I had the cauliflower steak and a lovely glass of wine. Great space! I highly recommend!!

Food was good. It could use some more spices and in some cases flavor. They were a little busy when we joined so we waited for quite awhile to get our dinner. Overall a decent experience. I would come here again. read more

We had dinner for two and we both loved the food. The mushroom-lentil pie was delicious, so was the dessert (ice cream sandwich with hazelnut and chocolate). The service was a little slow, but the quality/taste and the presentation of the food totally made us forget abt the waiting. They also have a good wine/cocktail menu for drinks. I would certainly recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been to MD on two different occasions, ordering their cheeseburger both times as it was sooo goood! The service was good although not great, particularly the second time was a bit off; my group wasn't aware of the booking beforehand-policy for dinners and the staff seemed bothered by this all throughout our visit. They did allow us to stay regardless of our lacking booking which was good either way. I love that they serve ginger beer; I have a hard time finding this in the city. The environment is also really great. Price level is a tad too high for my preference. read more

The Meatless District is a great vegan option in Amsterdam. The food menu is very creative and the food is also delicious! The service is efficient and friendly. Prices are a little high but the creative food is worth it. Reservations are recommended. Though we did not have reservations, we were allowed to sit in the reception area and then move to a table once one became available. The "chicken" is the closest thing to real as we have had which could be good or bad... Presentation is also beautiful. read more

As vegans visiting Amsterdam there are limited options however, MD was probably the best meal we have had anywhere. The service and atmosphere was also excellent. Can't wait to visit again! read more

This was my highlight meal during my recent visit to Amsterdam. They just changed their menu and I ordered the butternut squash risotto, side salad and bread with olive oil. Everything tasted superb! Portions were a bit small but then again American portions tend to be huge in comparison. Still would've like more food since it was so tasty! The ambience was mellow yet trendy. They apparently require reservations although when I arrived @6pm there was only 4 people eating. So they squeezed me in. Service was prompt and the server did stop by to ask how everything was. Will stop by again if I ever venture back to Amsterdam again. read more

We stopped by here mid-afternoon on a Sunday. We were in between lunch and dinner menus so they were only serving snacks. We ordered the cauliflower, nachos, fries, and bitterballen. All were throughly enjoyable. The restaurant has a nice space and it was comfortable. The best part was the deserts, a lovely moist carrot cake and a delicious banana cheesecake. So refreshing to go somewhere totally vegan. read more

THE best place in Amsterdam for Vegan food. The burger was out of this world and the best housemate vegan patty in the world. The caesar salad was too amazing and the hummus appetizer was to die for. I really loved this place to the bone and when my girlfriend and I return to Amsterdam, this will be our first dinner spot. Put this on your bucket list of places to try. read more

My absolute favorite vegan place in Amsterdam. The white ale to start off was so tasty, and the hummus for an appetizer was some of the best hummus we've tried, worldwide. My girlfriend got the chicken Caesar salad which tasted exactly like Caesar dressing. My burger was absolutely phenomenal and probably the second best tasting plant based burger I've had below the Impossible burger. The French fries were so crunchy and delicious, and went well with the side yogurt sauce. The service was a little iffy, but it's nothing unbearable. 10/10- you need to visit here. read more

Meatless District is a great choice for vegan meals in Amsterdam Oud West. Its great location on the Bilderdijkstraat puts it dead center in the middle of other great places as de Foodhallen, Bilder & de Clerq, Lot Sixty One, Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy and Sugarless.They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and their fare is on the lighter side: soups, salads, sandwiches, quesadillas and homemade falafel. But what they do really well is using meat substitutes. Their specialties are the MD "burger" which is made with tofu and their most popular item, the Caesar Salad is made with a tofu/veggie substitute that you would swear is chicken. A lot of meat substitutes we've tried before taste fake and are just a little off, but not here. The modern interior of white tile, wood and iron is meant to evoke the feeling of the Meatpacking district in NYC, therefore the play with their name. Tip: We didn't try any of their sweets, but we did venture across the street to give Sugarless a try. They specialize in sugarless & paleo desserts which are delicious.
