Vegan Eats in the Netherlands
I went on a trip to the Netherlands in October 2023 and really loved it! The country if beautiful and being vegan there was really easy.
Here is a list of the places I went to eat, as a vegan, and that I would recommend!
Vegan Junk Food Bar
It wasn’t my first time at Vegan Junk Food Bar. I discovered this amazing vegan restaurant in Barcelona, so I was already sold. Here are the things I ordered and that I would recommend: Galaxy lemonade, Crunchy pnut thai chick'n betterballs, Baby daddy and Chocozito. It was delicious!

**Several locations in Europe
Maoz
I LOVE the concept of this place. When you order a pita or a bowl, you put everything you want from the self-service counter and you also choose your sauce! Everything there is vegan!
I discovered Maoz in Barcelona and got to try it again in Amsterdam, 2 times! Once I got a falafel pita and another time, I got the mushroom shoarma. Both were so good! Both times, I also brought to the place people that I met on the trip. They were not sure at first because they thought that all falafels taste really dry. However, they got to love Maoz so much, they went back without me!
I would love a place like this in Montreal, or at least in the province of Quebec!

Healthful
I had my best breakfast in Rotterdam there, a scrambled tofu sandwich! The spot is so cute, I got to sit outside, on the terrace, next to the water. If you're in Rotterdam, I recommend you have breakfast or lunch over there.

Vegan Pizza Bar
I had the best pizza in Rotterdam there, a vegan carbonara pizza. I made a reservation to sit at the bar and had a free glass of wine! The waitress was so nice, she really made my night great, since I was eating alone. She also helped me with my choice of pizza, since there were so many tasty options!! If you're in Rotterdam, I recommend you try their delicious pizzas

I had the Asian Soul Bowl as the first meal of my trip and wasnt disappointed! If you're in Rotterdam, try them for healthy vegan food!

Ramen Impossible
The best ramen in Amsterdam, I found them at Ramen Impossible, a vegan restaurant in the Red Light District! I had the Amaze Men, a sauce style ramen and I would definitely recommend it !!!

Queen’s
Have you ever tasted a stroopwafel? No? Mmmm you should!!! A stroopwafel is a thin, round waffle cookie made from two layers of sweet baked dough held together by caramel filling. So ya its TAS-TYYY, but not vegan... No worries, I found vegan stroopwafels at Queen's in Amsterdam. I had the choice between 3 vegan flavors: hazelnut, speculaas & oreo. I got speculaas, which I felt was a more traditional Dutch choice! Yum!

Bloem
The best vegan restaurant in Amsterdam (and probably all Netherlands)! I had the Broodje eiersalade, which translates to egg salad sandwich, and it was incredible, full of flavor. THIS is THE restaurant to go to if you're in Amsterdam!

Margo’s
I got the tahini bun for breakfast which was very fresh and crispy. However, I have a sweet tooth so I prefer sweet pastries with a lot of flavor. I went back for lunch and got a hoisin luck sandwich to go. It was very good! I would have loved to have more time and taste more of their pastries & sandwiches.

Vegitalian
This vegetarian restaurant with vegan options is well situated in the beautiful city of Utrecht. I got the One and only Ravioli, which was one of their vegan plates, and I really enjoyed it. It was delicious!
