Café de Ceuvel in Noordelijke IJ-oevers West

Food was amazing, the place might be pirate themed, not sure. Might just be how young people dress these days?...

Beautiful views and history. Lovely atmosphere, great service, and delicious food.

A very good, quiet restaurant. Ideal for strolling and swimming. The menu is exclusively vegetarian with some truly surprising dishes. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Super nice, relaxed place by the water.

Carrot cake 🫶🏻 I didn't take a photo so it's just random :)

Too shabby. Place for old hippies.

Great restaurant in a fantastic location with a really nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and overall we had a great experience. The only downside was a bit of disorganization with the orders, which caused some confusion, but everyone was helpful and did their best to sort it out. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it and would happily come back.

Unparalleled vibes when it’s sunny and you want a chill swim & drinks setting. Lovely staff, good and unique (veggie!) food options, and overall a very welcoming atmosphere.

Cozy terrace, friendly service, delicious food.

A truly interesting and unique place. The atmosphere is alternative and simple, yet the energy is absolutely positive and engaging. The highlight is undoubtedly the vegan cuisine: well-constructed, tasty, and carefully crafted dishes, surprising in both balance and flavor. A completely vegan offering that stands out for its quality and attention to ingredients. The staff is another great asset: extremely friendly, kind, and always available, they make you feel immediately at ease. The view of the canal during lunch makes the experience even more enjoyable, adding a beautiful scenic touch to the meal. In short, a simple yet characterful place, excellent for those seeking good vegan food in a casual and authentic setting. Highly recommended.

The best place to enjoy the sun🌟

Plessure to come and have great service

Quite an amazing place. Cozy in winters and have outdoor seating for summer time. Food is superb and desserts are something you would come back for.

Perhaps one of the best places in Amsterdam, great ambience, great service, great food and drink choices. All perfect.

As a vegan living in Noord, this place is essential 👌🏽 especially on warm and sunny days when you can sit outside by the water and have a small drink and snacks. But dinner indoors is good too. The people who work there are also really friendly. No reason not to check it out ;)

Everything I love in one place! Friendly and smiling staff, a place with character, an artistic/vintage vibe. Delicious and responsible cuisine—I loved the carrot cake! A little gem! Highly recommended!

First place in Amsterdam I am so lucky to be there!

Super bold and interesting flavours coming from the kitchen. I was very surprised to taste the sticky toffee pudding, it wasnt tranditionally sweet, had some great depth to it i recc highly to try anything on the menu. Glad i came

Different and eclectic. Definitely off the beaten path.

I can't say much about the food, I only ordered a cake, but it was very good. The service was a bit slow. The atmosphere was very quaint, and you could sit outside by the water and watch the ducks and their ducklings.

Very nice terrace in a waterside area. On a sunny day, this is a hidden gem in Amsterdam Noord. You may need to wait to be seated, service is slow but at least you can order online usings the qr codes on the table.

Classic, always cozy, (usually) tapped perfectly by competent staff. People watch from the terrace or inside; old-fashioned, especially do not talk about politics. A lot is asked of the staff given the location and the name, so give a tip.

Fantastic, unique place, delicious and inventive cuisine, house-brewed beer, everyone is friendly, cool and welcoming atmosphere. I recommend it 100%!

Loved the food here, all plant-based and all delicious. Great vibe inside and staff super helpful and friendly. Definitely one to try for vegans in Amsterdam 😍 I had 3 of the starters as small plates instead of a main and it was a fantastic idea!

A chance arrival... Although you don't stumble upon it by chance. A place seemingly untouched by time. The lunch menu is very simple. For French people, it's more of a brunch spot than a traditional meal. But very good.

Perfect for unwinding with delicious lentil soup and a fantastic beetroot salad 😋 Very friendly service, great concept 🫶🏻

Lovely food, fast service, all vegan.

Wonderful, bright and welcoming, all vegan and tastes delicious. 100% recommended.

Amazingly cool and sustainable spot. Imaginative menu, super friendly staff and very cosy atmosphere. We’ve ended-up staying for hours… 100% recommendation when in Noord.

The location is really lovely, a little messy, but that's unfortunately normal in places like this. However, in our opinion, that doesn't justify either the less-than-friendly service or the prices. €6 for a tiny slice of pear cake and €5 for an equally small piece of brownie. The drinks were just about acceptable. Overall, a rather disappointing experience for us.

A magical place, and one I'll cherish forever. I'll be back!

My wife and I just had some coffee and a couple of beers. Coffee was really good, so was the beers. It's very nice inside, stylish, old fashion, nice atmosphere. We sat mostly outside in the sun. Very nice place - with an alternative, creative vibe - to visit by the sea.

We had a very interesting vegetarian lunch here with work and it was very good! I would recommend a visit.

What a nice "hidden" spot. These are the gems for cozy hours in Amsterdam.

Very unique 'Ibiza' location, a bit 60s. Fantastic plant-based vegetarian food!

Here is definetely one of the best spot in Noord. Especially for the sunny days! Drinking my beer on the wooden stucks, is there better idea ? Nooo

nice atmosphere and lekker food:)

Place to visit Charming atmosphere and good dish 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice place, strong coffee, delicious pastries and nice service 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Cozy place on an Amsterdam fringe

Super cute little place. Cheerful staff and a different kind of food. The atmosphere is cozy inside, and I bet it's even better in the summer with the outdoor terrace. Completely plant-based.

Great, cozy pub in a local neighborhood. We had some beer and bitterballen and cheese rolls, and finished it with great genefer. Love it. .

Excellent meal, very good service and a warm atmosphere.

We are not vegans or vegetarians but we love this place. The food is so interestingly delicious. It is honestly hard to choose what to order!

it's doesn't taste good and overpriced

A bit "alternative," but it fits the bill. The prices are quite high, and it's not a hit with non-vegetarians.

cozy bar, we came with friends and just had a magical time, lots of different snacks and live music)

Very cosy atmosphere and nice staff. The starters were really good, unfortunately my meal was too salty. The wait was also a bit long. But overall great place

Truly surprisingly delicious! The fact that a "café" serves such delightful flavors and original vegetable creations made me even more delighted. It's already a lovely place to be, and the service was also very attentive and friendly.

Unfortunately, my diet requires more than just plant-based substances.

I had gone out for dinner on Sunday and decided to go back to buy some artisanal chocolate they sell. I parked my bike in the same spot I had parked it on Sunday, and decided to take some videos and photos outside. A woman yelled at me; she was upset because I had parked my bike outside the restaurant in the same spot as on Sunday.

Amazing place if you want to experience noord in the purest of ways. Even have a subscription to their chiller housewine. Pleae visie this little cozy slice of heaven

Delicious food looks nice and authentic.

We sometimes visit the Ceuvel with private groups. For example, during a break in a bike tour. Or as a highlight of the tour. (Usually both.) The café is a great place to relax, with delicious (and sustainable) food and drinks and excellent service. The tour groups find the creativity, sustainability, and entrepreneurship at the Ceuvel inspiring, and often even more than that. Fantastic. :) Thanks. Best regards from Lex

What a gem this is! Delicious food and drinks (incredibly vegan and gluten-free friendly), a great mission, overlooking the water, and with a resident cat. I'll definitely be back.

Vegan restaurant (perfect for people like me who have lactose intolerance; it's very difficult to find places offering vegan or lactose-free options here in Amsterdam) with a fairly varied menu and excellent dishes. The only downside (for us Italians 😅) is that the kitchen closes at 9:30 pm. We went for dinner, but the place must be very charming during the day, as it gets even more atmospheric outside, with rafts anchored with tables set up on the river.

Café de Ceuvel is one of those places where you immediately feel the city slip away. Hidden among creative studios and floating gardens in Amsterdam-Noord, this circular café sits on the water—one of the city's most unique spots. Everything revolves around sustainability, creativity, and a relaxed atmosphere rarely found in Amsterdam. In summer, you can relax by the water with a view of the ships, a cold drink in hand, and often live music or a relaxing DJ set in the background. In autumn and winter, you can snuggle inside among plants, wood, and soft lighting—warm, cozy, yet industrial. The energy is open, alternative, and friendly. The food is absolutely fantastic: organic, vegan-friendly, and with surprising combinations that are also affordable. You can taste that everything is prepared with care. And with a Stadspas (City Pass), you even get a discount, which makes it even more appealing. Café de Ceuvel is not your average restaurant, but a hidden gem that has something to offer all year round. Whether you come to eat, work, or just enjoy the water and the people – this is a place you will remember.

We had a fantastic birthday dinner here. They set the table especially for us. The atmosphere and service were fantastic, and it's so nice that everything is vegan. I'm a fan!

A fun, trendy spot by the water in Amsterdam Noord. It's a bit of a search, as you have to walk through an alley to get there. You can sit outside or inside in a cozy atmosphere.

I didn't eat there, but had a training session at this special part of the Netherlands

The food was delicious. They served a company lunch with a bit of everything. They had two plates left over, so we were able to take advantage of this tasting menu. Delicious!

The food was incredibly delicious. The entire menu is plant-based, truly fantastic! I was very surprised by the quality and flavor of the dishes. Highly recommended.

Very nice place with beautiful view

Everything there tastes wonderful. We went there twice in the same weekend because we enjoyed it so much. Very creative vegetarian cuisine with excellent ingredients. Even the supposedly boring sides, like fries with tarragon mayonnaise, are super good.

Great! Very tasty and vegetarian options are fantastic

Lovely place for a nice vegetarian dinner, great service and such on the terrace (when I was there😉)

Floris's coffee was especially delicious. The lunch dishes were very tasty, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Very nice and frequently changing menu. Great atmosphere. A real gem!

Great place with friendly service and delicious drinks. I'll definitely be back.

Awesome location. Friendly service, super relaxed atmosphere. Sustainable, vegan, delicious. Highly recommended and probably still an insider tip 😉

Super relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff. Great to get away from the busy center. All vegan. The food was ok, small portions but innovative.

Very surprising but so cute and romantic. A must see.

Best delicious fresh vegan food ❤️ this place is fully plant based

Good, innovative and sustainable cafe & restaurant with a good selection

Very great location right on the water

Always one of my favorite hot spot in Noord! Great vibes and finally also the food has improved a lot!

Great spot, very good vibe and super friendly staff. Definitely recommended

A gem. It feels like you're out of this world, surrounded by nature and peace, yet you're very close to the NDSM neighborhood (a 10-minute bike ride). There's a great vibe, and they're committed to sustainability, which is why they offer vegan options. The dishes are local and complete, but the selection is limited. We recommend it for moments of relaxation and tranquility.

Great place to spend an afternoon with friends. Swimming access :) bliss.

We had a delicious meal and then played a chess tournament. A great location for groups, good food, and friendly staff.

Unable to answer about food quality, but friendly service and a ver alternative enviroment.

Highly recommended, quaint, modern restaurant, friendly service, tips on the secret garden included - I'd love to go back!

Nice place, vegan menu. Quick service

You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy every dish here! 🤗 The atmosphere is fantastic anyway!

Big Recommendation!! Must try: Bitterbalen, Lemon Ravioli, Elderlyflower Beer The place is super cute. We went there for Dinner wich is only served after 18:00 so we had time to try some of the beers and Snacks while having a beautiful view on the water. Later we eat Dinner there and it was really good. The prices are a bit higher compared to the size of the dishes. But thats just because the use only fresh local ingredients and make everything themselfes.

Beautifully decorated café with excellent service. You have to be there. I was incredibly inspired and moved by it.

Very nice and cosy place. Good, fresh food and lots of different things to drink.

Superb vegan restaurant, I recommend it! The place is magical!

Great spot for a summer lunch or dinner. Super creative dishes. Prices are very reasonable given the craft put into it. There aren't many places like this one in Amsterdam.

While visiting Amsterdam, we found this amazing cafe that practices and supports sustainable living. The food is as delicious as it is beautiful! Our server was friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

Very nice location by the water. Lovely ambiance. You can even go swimming. The service was good and very attentive.

Great place. Great food. Great staff. It looks quirky and weird, and it’s amazing. There even is a swing over the water.

A special place. There's a lot to discover. Vegetarian dishes, and they pay attention to sustainability! Great concept. You can sit outside in various places. The interior is very quaint. There's also a discovery garden. Simply wonderful, you wouldn't think so when you walk down the street there. It's rather spooky at night.

Arriving into my hotel at Amsterdam Noord on a Sunday evening, I went walking in search for something relaxed for food. Being summer, I didn’t realise how late it was. I arrived at Cafe de Ceuvel at around 9.20pm but they allowed me to get an order in. A vegetarian restaurant using locally sourced produce, the surroundings are hippie chic, but it works and feels comfortable and relaxing. What you need after a long Eurostar journey. The servers were impeccable, fun, and lively. I ordered the Lemon Pearl Barley Risotto, with green asparagus, yellow zucchini, with crispy oatmeal and a birch vinaigrette. The dish was so light and refreshing. The citrus was just the right level to renew my palette and went amazingly well with the glass of Zeebonk beer. I followed this up with a main course of Nettle Saag Paneer, with raita, zarda millet, and naan bread. Creamy and light, but filling and wholesome. What a dish to help me doze off to the land of Nod when I returned to my hotel. This place is perfect for a summers afternoon lunch! I plan to return.

Al llegar a mi hotel en Amsterdam Noord un domingo por la noche, comencé a caminar en busca de algo relajado para comer. Como era verano, no me di cuenta de lo tarde que era. Llegué al Café de Ceuvel alrededor de las 9. 20 horas pero me permitieron realizar un pedido. Un restaurante vegetariano que utiliza productos de origen local, el entorno es hippie chic, pero funciona y se siente cómodo y relajante. Lo que necesitas después de un largo viaje en Eurostar. Los servidores fueron impecables, divertidos y animados. Pedí el Risotto de Cebada Perlada y Limón, con espárragos verdes, calabacín amarillo, con avena crujiente y vinagreta de abedul. El plato era muy ligero y refrescante. El cítrico tenía el nivel justo para renovar mi paladar y combinaba increíblemente bien con el vaso de cerveza Zeebonk. Luego continué con un plato principal de Saag Paneer de ortiga, con raita, mijo zarda y pan naan. Cremoso y ligero, pero abundante y saludable. Qué plato más delicioso para ayudarme a conciliar el sueño en la tierra de Nod cuando regresé a mi hotel. ¡Este lugar es perfecto para un almuerzo en una tarde de verano! Tengo pensado volver.

Had a very nice meal with my family. It was busy so the service was a bit less. Not everything arrived at the same time and had to ask twice where a drink was, but that is to be expected with the crowd at the bar.

It's a vegetarian restaurant( I'm not a vegetarian) prices are reasonable, portions are good size, and the dishes were interesting. I wish there was more flavor. Bitterbalens were gooey Don't expect a quick service, but everyone was nice and we got a table in a few minutes on Friday evening. Reservation are recommended

Sit outside on the nice pontoons! And just order via qr code

Very tasty food. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Top.

Wonderful location, far from the tourist center and in a charming neighborhood. Good food. Highly recommended to get away from the busiest areas of the city
