The most Instagram-worthy restaurant in all of Amsterdam and yeah, the food is pretty and it's decent but it's not five stars. There can be a long wait standing in line outside the restaurant and that gets worse when some clown decides that now's a good time to light up. Clown. They will not seat incomplete parties and I completely get that. Yep, everything is avocados and we got the avocado fries to share and I chose the avocado florentine benedict which was good. Eggs poached perfectly, though the avocado was a little under ripe in my opinion. Service is good. Menus in English and other languages. Host spoke excellent English as did our waitress. Overall, a good meal and I am a fan. [Review 12099 overall, 1883 of 2019.]
Avocados, FTWWWW! My friends and I came here for lunch because, duh, avocados! An entire eatery with an avocado theme? Yes, please! I am still impressed by every food and drink item, using avocado in their creation. Think I'm wrong? They sell a cookbook here, proving so! There was an hour wait for lunch, so we put our name in 'til they texted us when a table was ready. Cool with us, since we just went to a bar nearby to drink. It only made lunch all the more better. We were starving by the time we came back. And I gotta say, The Avocado Show was worth the hour-wait. It's definitely a restaurant to try while in Amsterdam, at least, that's what your Instagram profile is telling you. I ordered the truffle treasure toast with avocado fries. Yep, sure did. It was exactly what I needed to after day-drinking. The truffle treasure toast had smashed avocado, chicken, parmesan cheese, radishes and truffle mayo. I love truffle and I love avocado, so you do the math. It was a winning combination on toast. The avocado fries were solid, with a light batter to coat the slices of avocado that literally make up the fry. It also came with more truffle mayo for dipping! We all enjoyed our lunch and were happy that the avocado was the main feature of everything we ordered. The place was super busy, with a line outside the door throughout our entire time there. And somehow the staff was able to seat as many people as possible, so don't expect privacy here, since the neighboring table will be able to hear your convo and vice versa. The Avocado Show is a fun place to eat in Amsterdam, with a theme based off of one of the most popular and trendy food items. What's not to love?
Ok, so I definitely came for the instagram (and I totally found this restaurant on instagram) like many others who were there on Saturday morning. I went first thing, a few minutes after opening, so I didn't have to wait in line. There were a few tables but it definitely filled up quickly. The interior is decked out with millenial pink and green. I was totally into it. When they handed me the menu, they were sure to tell me (and everyone else) that because it's morning hours (9am-12pm), they only had the breakfast menu available and they also only take card, no cash, which is not uncommon in Amsterdam. I ordered The French Florentine, which was sauteed spinach, flowers, homemade Hollandaise sauce, avocado, watercress and two poached eggs. I was a little disappointed when it came out lukewarm, like barely warm. I felt like the eggs at least should have been warmer. The toasted English muffin tasted like it came out of a cardboard box. Even if it did, I feel like they could have used not old bread or something so it didn't taste like box. I also tried the Guaca Mary (vodka, tequila, guacamole, avocado oil, lime juice, sugar syrup, salt and pepper), which wasn't my favorite (I wouldn't get it again) but that may only be due to taste. Last, I ordered a white tea which the waiter kindly asked if I wanted first before the food and the drink. I was curious about other menu items but I'm not sure if I'd come back because I was underwhelmed about the eggs. But they were beautiful. And so instagrammable.
I was really looking forward to this place as I added it to my todo list while in town. My friend and I had planned to eat here between going to the musuems near by. We came on a Sunday around 11am and there was a little crowd. I walked in thinking we put our name on the list but a gentleman quickly told us to wait outside and he'd be with us. About 5 min later he came over to put our name down. And took my cell number to notify us when the table was ready. He said 20 min so we stick around. It ended up being about 35min which was ok. When we sat down we we're quickly given a menu. And we ordered right away. I was super excited to try this place out. I love avocados and especially good food presentation. I was disappointed when my good came. It looked less vibrant than what I saw online. It said it came with flowers but more like one flower. I wanted the full immersed experience especially with the edible flowers. The flavors we're ok too, I rarely say food is bland but I felt it was. We left still hungry so we ate something small else after. I say try it out, it's a cool concept but the food execution could use some work. **Ask for extra flowers! Hopefully they will accept the request.
We went to the Avocado Show for lunch in a Tuesday. We arrived shortly after noon and were greeted outside by the staff taking names and numbers of everyone who waiting for a table. They have a great system that sends a text to alert you when you're table is almost ready, giving you the freedom to not mull about waiting outside. To our delight we were called much sooner than estimated, which was great because we were hungry. The interior is small and quaint and the service was prompt. We ordered the avo salmon poké bowl, the truffle treasure toast and the nachos. The poké bowl and truffle toast were great! The poké bowl was a bit on the small size but delish and the toast was yummy! Both when served look like a piece of art. The nachos... I wouldn't consider myself a nacho snob but they weren't made with any sort of love. The guacamole on the nachos didn't taste fresh and tasted like is had a filler (maybe sour cream?), it had a mediocre amount of liquid cheese, jarred salsa and a handful of kidney beans. Overall the flavor was ok - reminding me of movie theater nachos. The nachos bring the review down to 3 stars.
04/17 - I'm 4 months late on my review, but I came here the first month it was open back in April. I saw that it was opened in time for my trip to Amsterdam. I was really excited to try it, but in all, it was more of a 3.5 stars experience, but I'll round it up to 4 stars. First, the wait was about 45 minutes but I expected it since it was just opened and people would walk by and get intrigued. Once we got seated, I got the avocado burger which came with sausage, prosciutto and the buns were avocados. I think it could have been an open-faced burger because the top avocado portion wasn't equal to the filling and you're eating more avocado than anything else. It came with a side of salsa and nachos, but no guacamole? It would have been perfect if it came with guacamole. This is an avocado restaurant, after all. The avocado garden was cute and my husband loved it, it came with crackers and the avocados were topped with herbs and spices. I got the nachos for my kids and the amount of guacamole was depressing, not much at all and it didn't seem to have the avocado effect we were expecting. It came to be a rather expensive meal for what you get and not much avocados. It was a nice concept and I'm glad we tried it but I wasn't as impressed as I expected it to be.
The Avocado Show makes for a great Instagram photo, but does it actually make for a good meal? We didn't waste much time trying to find the answer! First-ever time in Amsterdam, the entire group was unanimous on where we wanted to go for our first meal. Entire group had their orders, but my friend and I chose what appeared to be two of the most popular offerings: The Bun Burger and The Poké Bowl. The Bun Burger stood out more to me because it was so unique to look at it with it's two avocado "buns" and the Dutch raw beef sausage in between. An odd combo, but it was actually pretty delicious. The Poké Bowl wins on presentation, but I feel like I could've gotten better if I was ordering a poke bowl at home. I can imagine poke bowls aren't too available in Amsterdam though, so for them having this option is a big deal. I imagine that this particular establishment draws more than the usual amount of tourists, so it was good that everyone in the restaurant could speak English. Was odd for them to be card only, but I could only wish for something like this back in the U.S. instead of places being cash only. Wait wasn't too bad, but we did come at a super weird time of 2 pm on a Wednesday. Definitely worth stopping by to try and get our IG photos in. Not sure if it's a necessity to come back the next time I'm in Amsterdam.
Truly an experience. This is a spot for all of you Food Instagramers. There is always at least a 20 min wait. I love it that they provide water while you wait because it gets hot outside. The hostess is hilarious. She definitely keeps it real. My name on the list was "American Diana" haha After the wait, we were able to order. I ordered the poke bowl while my friend had the super bowl salad. The presentation was beautiful & we both enjoyed our meals. We were so full but decided to order dessert. I tried the avocado ice cream, which I totes recommend. While my friend had the blind date, truly unique dessert. If you go before 12 pm, order their eggs Benedict. It looked amazing! Service was great considering how busy they were. I'm an easy girl to please. I just need food. Tip: water is 3 euros!! So you might as well order something else. My only regret is not taking a picture of their cute bicycle in the front. Also, they only take cards. & no Amex!
If you love avocados, this is the place for you! Came here during a trip to Europe and was blown away by the extravagant combinations and dishes. This is definitely NOT just an avocado toast place! From avocado pancakes to fries, there is nothing usual about this place. Luckily we got to the restaurant on a weekday right as it opened so they were able to immediately seat us! Just be smart about what time you go or expect a long line and a wait!
Saw this on Buzzfeed while scrolling Facebook in the US. Had to stop here while in Amsterdam. This place does not disappoint! The menu was concise but I was happy because what they do, they do well. The prices are a little higher than what I thought but you're paying for an experience. The service was a little slow but this place had a long wait and I went at like 2pm on a Thursday. The lack of 5 stars was the fact that the service was lacking. I had my order taken, food brought and then I had to hour the sever for my check.
I had to check out The Avocado Show during my time here in Amsterdam. It didn't disappoint! My brother, dad, and I came here for breakfast on a Wednesday in September around 10AM and we were seated immediately. It was fairly busy in there while we ate but there were still tables open. I ordered The Heart Beet Rose Toast (€10) while my dad has The Mango Curry Tango Toast (€10). Both were absolutely beautiful! Both toasts were served a large slice of bread with a generous layer of hummus an avocado rose on top. Very substantial and filling. My brother enjoyed the Vegan Paradise poke bowl (€15.50). It was a spectacle to look at! The bowl featured rice, mango mayonnaise, seaweed salad, mango chunks, edamame, cucumber, & was surrounded by avocado slices. Our server gave him soy sauce to enjoy it with. It was very fresh tasting but sadly not very filling nor substantial. Too bad since it was €5 more than our massive toasts. We all had a great experience here though! I would definitely give it a try if you're an avocado fiend like me.
As the name of the place suggests, this place goes HAM on avocado. Pancakes?! Let's put some avocado on it! Poke bowl? Lets surround it with a ring of avocado slices! Avocado here, there, everywhere! Came here for brunch. It felt a little gimmicky basing a whole restaurant concept around the avocado, a beloved food of the basic man and woman. I like guacamole, but do I really need it on my pancakes or in my bloody mary? The answer was not really. Not that the food wasn't tasty - it was - but just throwing a bunch of avocado on things felt unnecessary. I could have done for less avocado and more emphasis on using it more effectively.

Came over this place thru yelp! I was visiting Amsterdam and was looking for breakfast some breakfast. I'm so glad I came across this place because along with their menu items for breakfast they were serving eggs Benedict. Their food is very delicious and staff is nice! Note that this place only takes cards, which I preferred. They have free wifi read more

Better than I expected. I really thought it was just an 'instagram' place, where the food looked better than it tasted. I was pleasantly surprised. The wait is kind of worth it in a way. We arrived around 1/1:30pm on a Saturday. It was already packed with people waiting outside. The waitlist doesn't allow you to go somewhere else, because if they call your name and you don't show up, your name gets crossed off the list. They don't give you a call. But I guess it works and creates a little vibe. For the two of us, the wait was 30-40 mins in the cold, there were a few parties of 6, which could also be seated fairly quickly. However, I don't recommend coming with a large group. The host told us there was a group of 13 girls the other day - they got seated, but it was a lot of work getting that to work. Enough about the wait. The menu is simple, we placed an order of two meals and a snack. Our drinks were served only minutes after placing our order. And the meals followed shortly. It was presented as seen on their instagram, just beautifully. And I have to say, it tasted really good! The portions were quite small, so sharing three plates for 2 people worked exactly. It's quite a pricey place for lunch, we paid almost 50 euro for lunch, the evening before we paid the same for a steak dinner at Cafe Cook. I absolutely enjoyed the show, but don't know if it's worth a second visit. read more

This place is busy. My friend and I had to wait for 20 minutes to get a table for two. The waitress bought free fruit infused water out while we waited. The inside is amazing. The walls have plants, and the tables are lovely. The menu was the perfect size, and there were plenty of drinks and desserts. After ordering, the food came quite quickly. I had the poke bowl (really lovely, try it out), and my friend had the burger. The presentation on both was stunning. The flavour was great as well. read more
This place is adorable and the food is presented wonderfully. We loved everything we ordered, it was all super fresh and delicious. Orange juice was some of the best I've had. I do feel like it was a tad overpriced for the amount of food we got- we didn't leave feeling full. read more

Had a really nice experience eating at the avocado show. It took us about an hour to get our table because we were in a group of 6. While we were waiting the host made conversation with us, he was really funny and friendly. Once we were seated the service was excellent. I ordered the Wagyu Burger which was delicious and filling. The burger was juicy and it was great with the cheddar cheese. There was more than enough avocado for the buns although they were not the ripest. All of our food came relatively quickly we were never waiting too long. Overall it was worth the experience and I would recommend eating here. read more

Very small restaurant, but it's cute! Definitely visit if you love avocados! I had the chicken skewers and avo toast. Service was good. Go early as there will be a waiting line. We were lucky we came around 10:30 to 11am. Their lemon avocado sauce is to die for!! Can't wait to visit Amsterdam again. The owner was there I think, she was very nice! I hope they expand internationally and open bigger restaurants. Especially in Toronto! I will visit again from Canada. Only thing i wish is for bigger portions especially the avocado toast read more

Unsure at first what this restaurant was all about, we decided to give it a go after seeing the long line of people and the amazing variety of avocado dishes. The nachos left a little to be desired but they were still tasty! The sliced avocado with hummus and the poke bowl were outstanding. I recommend getting there early to put in your name because it gets packed very quickly. It's the new kid on the block and it's very popular with good reason! read more

We arrived at the Avocado show around 15:20 on a Wednesday, greeted by a group of people waiting for tables (since they don't do reservations). We were told 30-45 mins for a table so we walked around the neighborhood during our wait. We came back 20 mins later as the hostess was calling my name, perfect timing. It took a few minutes for someone to bring us menus, but aside from that the service was fine. The food was overall great. I got the vegan poké bowl which I completely recommend. My friend got the avo garden, also recommended as it tasted and looked great. My friend also got the super salad which neither of us was a fan of - the flavors were a bit off and it was also too salty. For dessert I got the avocado sorbet, fantastic, and my friend got the very berry waffle which he loved. The nachos on other tables looked like the least 'fun' dish to get, IMO. There was a bit of a wait for the food but not too terrible, the place is packed after all so it should be expected. They served hot beverages in paper cups which is strange and I hope they soon change. The cold beverages are served in regular glassware. There is free WiFi available so your beautiful food pictures can get posted asap! read more

Came in at peak lunch time, the wait was an hour, but the hostess kept us all laughing and occupied. When we first got in line (I'm told it's always busy) she said 30 mins. I don't know if I would have waited the hour if she said that, but the food and customer service are well worth the wait. My only disappointment was that the vegan version of the nachos, was just nachos without the cheese, and not a substitute. But my poké bowl was fantastic. The BF had the bun burger, which has an avocado instead of a bun. Yummy! read more

We just dropped by to have some brunch on a Saturday morning. And we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was! We had the poke bowl and salad. Again, the food is delissss but the portions are very small compared to what you pay for them :/ I dont think we are going back but it was a good experience after all. Pro tipp: order drinks because they have their own papercup! (See pic) read more

Delicious food and friendly service. They do not take reservations instead it is first come first serve. The restaurant was pretty hot in temperature (I don't think they have air conditioning). I especially enjoyed the avocado smoothie! Each plate is a work of art. Definitely a place to visit when your in Amsterdam read more

I'll preface this with the fact that this was the first stop I made after arriving in Amsterdam. So, my friend and I were way overtired and hungry. As we anticipated, there was a wait for a late Sunday brunch, but we were seated even more quickly than expected. (Their wait list is an SMS text service, and we didn't have service, so we didn't travel far just in case.) Once we were seated, it wasn't long before we placed our orders. Our drinks came out (a cappuccino and a tea) relatively quickly. Unfortunately, this is where it slowed down a bit. I'm from New York, so I know I'm biased in terms of speed in restaurants, but it took a long, long time (45+ minutes) to get our plates after we ordered. I know presentation is essential for them, but it just seemed a little much. The food itself was very tasty, my friend got the eggs benny and I got the beet hummus toast with an avocado rose. Both super pretty and tasty, but make sure to come hungry- they're sneakily a lot of food. read more

Overhyped... We came here for lunch as we were very excited to try this place before even arriving to Amsterdam. We didn't have to wait for too long (relative to others waiting) maybe 20ish minutes since we were a group of two. I already knew that I wanted the pancakes that were part of the lunch menu so I ordered those, a few minutes later the waiter came back to tell me that it wasn't possible to make at this time. He said I should maybe get the poke bowl so I did. My boyfriend got the wagyu avocado burger and one of the avocado toasts. The burger was tiny and pretty cold so we were both kind of disappointed. My poke bowl was good but I did get a stomach right after which was strange. Overall disappointed but I guess there's only so many avocados to go around. read more

A friend recommended this place to me. Despite the long wait, the food and relaxed atmosphere is totally worth it! My SO and I ordered the Heart Beet and The Champion Brekkie, along with a small nachos. Everything came within a reasonable time and the amount of effort and artistry that went into each dish showed! Hopefully this business will grow and open more franchises around Amsterdam read more
