De Waaghals in Oude Pijp

I tried it once and the taste was acceptable

I am/was a real meat eater. But restaurants like this make me appreciate vegetarian more and more. Tasty and beautifully prepared dishes. Very friendly employees

Cozy seating, also in terms of food: delicious dishes to share. Original and delicious.

Fantastic experience. Star level vegetarian dishes in terms of presentation, taste and texture. Truly a first-class surprising experience for die-hard carnivores. Do it if you have the courage.

Nuestra primera experiencia de un menú totalmente vegetariano y fue un éxito total. Comimos muy bien. Todos los platos eran muy variados y deliciosos. ¡Este menú de Navidad 2024 fue un placer! Bien hecho a todo el equipo.

We tried the Christmas Menu and it was delicious ! We also went for the wine pairing recommended, and it was an amazing selection of wines. The service was also very good ! All contributed for us to have an amazing evening, thank you !

A true vegetarian paradise in the De Pijp area! The cozy setting and monthly changing menu make it a unique experience. I had a 3-course meal, and every dish was amazing. The friendly staff added to the charm. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for creative vegetarian cuisine!

Delicious food yesterday Wednesday 27-11-2024. Surprise menu 3 courses vegetarian, but a mushroom allergy and gluten intolerance were taken into account. Due to a visit to AfAS Live, we ate from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM and this was also taken into account. Fantastic experience and if we are in Amsterdam again we will definitely come back. Nice atmosphere and very friendly service.

The food was excellent, the staff were very accommodating, informative and friendly, and the atmosphere was great too. The dessert was a standout- best ice cream I’d ever had. It’s so nice to be able to go somewhere vegetarian and vegan so you can have everything on the menu and not worry! My girlfriend and I had such a lovely dinner here, thank you so much!

Este es uno de nuestros TOP 3 Fav restaurantes en Amsterdam. Mi esposo y yo hemos estado yendo aquí una vez al mes desde hace muchos años, para disfrutar de su menú sorpresa creativo, saludable y saludable. Tienen múltiples cursos - vegano o vegetariano. Es prácticamente el primer restaurante vegetariano en los Países Bajos y fue pionero en cocina vegetariana aquí - de ahí el nombre de The Daredevils : )

This is among our TOP 3 Fav restaurants in Amsterdam. My husband and I have been going here once a month since many years, to enjoy their creative, healthy and wholesome surprise menu. They have multiple courses - vegan or vegetarian. It’s pretty much the first vegetarian restaurant in the Netherlands and pioneered vegetarian cuisine here - hence the name The Daredevils :)

Me gustó que el menú es una sorpresa, y las verduras del día a día embellecidas, como el puerro o las chalotas. es bastante asequible para la calidad.

Absolutely delicious vegetarian restaurant! The flavors were incredible, with beautifully presented dishes and perfectly portioned servings. I’m not usually vegetarian, but I didn’t miss meat at all—the food was that good! Friendly service and a great wine selection, made it even better.

An amazing food experience with vegan and vegetarian food. The experience is on a chef level cousine. Great place.

Accueil chaleureux, personnel très attentionné mais le repas (nous avons choisi 3 plats à l'initiative du chef) était moyen au niveau du goût, meme si la présentation était parfaite, saveurs assez spéciales peut être trop originales ? En revanche, c'est copieux.

The food is very instagram-worthy but lacks flavor and care. The coursing and wine-pairing seems to be to encourage quick turnover and restaurant savings in a touristy area and not for the culinary experience that is being advertised.

Opted for the four-course vegetarian menu and it was really delicious! Favorites were the zucchini croquettes and the dessert with juniper crumble.

Wow, what a food, something crazy and I can't believe it's all vegetarian, Everything is perfectly accurate in terms of flavors, an experience I haven't been in for a long time, the ability of the chef to adjust the dishes in the face of the diners' restrictions/aversion to certain foods is amazing and worthy of appreciation

Delicious food, nice service and very relaxed. Tip: choose your own wine to pair with the dishes.

What a lovely and creative dining experience! We enjoyed every bite and would be happy to return when we visit Amsterdam in the future.

It's a vegetarian and vegan only... But trust me, I had great curated meals.. and did not miss meat!

An ideal choice for an upscale vegan or vegetarian meal in Amsterdam! The space is cozy on a nice, quiet street in De Pijp, and the surprise menu was creative and tasty. Very reasonably priced at under €50 for a three-course meal (which was more than enough food). And the reservation didn't require a deposit, unlike some of the other upscale vegan places in Amsterdam.

Delicious michelin style dinner. I have lucky enough to visit a few Michelin star restaurants and the food here is just as creative and delicious. Very recommended and delicious value for money.

Amazing experience at De Waaghals! The vegetarian dishes were delicious and creative, but what stood out most was the incredible service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and really made the evening special. Highly recommend for anyone in Amsterdam!

For a restaurant with such excellent reviews, it was a shame to have such a mediocre experience. For 150 euros, we received two 5-course meals, with one non-alcoholic beverage each. For that amount of money, I'd expect excellent dishes. We only really liked two of the 5 courses, and one of them was a cheeseplatter. The green sauce in one of the dishes was far too sour, as if someone grated an entire lemon over it. The plantain cake was too thick and heavy, covered in siracha mayonaise, so you couldn't even taste it. Also, I don't want a tomato-flavoured dessert. The staff was multiple - we had about 4 different waiters at our table. They mumbled through the explanation of the food, so I could not understand half of what they were saying. Last time I came here, the food was good and I had a good time, but that was perhaps just due to the wine pairing which masked the flavour of the food.

Probably the best dish and meal of my entire life. The flavors were exceptional and I don’t have the words to define what emotions this meal gave me. Sublime, comforting and majestic are the adjectives that come to my mouth when my brain thinks back to this good time spent on this beautiful terrace. Very friendly staff, very warm and pretty neighborhood. I highly recommend and thank you for this beautiful moment! Drinks a little expensive though.

My favourite restaurant in Amsterdam. Every time I have guests from abroad, I make sure they experience this gorgeous table d’hôte of exquisite vegan and vegetarian gastronomy. The dishes are well balanced and creative, combining different flavours and textures, with emulsions, gaufrettes, mousses… Eating sustainability has never tasted so yum! I recommend the wine pairing; I have been pleased with many lovely natural wines. The prices are sooo reasonable for what you get. Super worth it! My only critique is that the dishes could have been described with more pride and passion by our server. She spoke a bit fast and I could not fully retain everything. She also said it was decorated with kale when it was actually capers. In short, the food is 👌🏻and the servers must make sure they prepare us well for it!

Tried the 3 course veg and vegan menus. No dish was very good - we have the feeling they try to be too fancy and creative and it doesn't always work.

We had the vegan 4-course surprise menu and it was simply delicious. It would be nice if you could read again about the good things you ate. We had the vegan 4 course surprise and it was just tasty. Would love to find further information about the composition of the menu maybe after the dinner as a reminder.

Regresé a De Waaghals siguiendo buenos recuerdos de visitas anteriores a Amsterdam y me quedé impresionado por su capacidad para continuar innovando, sirviendo comida sabrosa y sin disculpas vegetarianas. Muchos restaurantes vegetarianos basan su menú en carne aspirante, como platos, con un éxito limitado. En De Waaghals no intentan imitar menús más carnosos, siguiendo los sabores de la temporada y sus propios esfuerzos creativos. Volveré tan pronto como llegue

We chose the four course option with a wine pairing for each course. At the beginning of the meal we were offered the choice between vegan and vegetarian, but other than that the meal was a complete surprise. Really excellent quality and presentation, and portion sizes were absolutely perfect - left the restaurant a perfect amount of full. Also, incredible value for what we got! Shockingly cheap for a really high quality meal.

Enjoyed dinner very much. Interesting seasonal dishes. We chose 4 plates, everything is vegetarian or vegan. Very tasty and with an excellent wine pairing. On the evening in question, staff only spoke English.

Delicious vegetarian food, good matching wines

Absolutely loved our dining experience at this vegan gem in The Pijp, Amsterdam! The quality of the food was exceptional, with every dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The menu was incredibly inventive, introducing us to new, exciting combinations we hadn't tried before. A special shoutout to the staff and the Italian guy who served us - his service was impeccable. They were not only friendly and attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They made our dining experience very enjoyable. If you're looking for a top-notch vegan restaurant in Amsterdam, this place is a must-visit!

Lovely 4 courses dinner. Unfortunately a bit disappointed, dish look amazing but flavours could pop out more for that level of cuisine

Delicious food and nice atmosphere, good acoustics! Staff knows well about all kinds of dietary requirements :) Portion sizes of the 4-course menu were more than sufficient.

Each course was really special, served with care and unrushed, allowing the courses to be savoured. Lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere, enjoyed it a lot.

4 of us ordered the 4 course menu (not cheap). Service was slow then we were asked to hurry up and leave as people were waiting

Great veggie food in a stylish and welcoming atmosphere in the heart of Amsterdam. Attentive and welcoming staff. Well worth a visit.

Great success! Last visited two years ago. They have improved in every area!

we were 3 people with 2 in a large elro wheelchair wheelchair disaster is present!! Allergies are very well managed!

I had expected a bit more WOW factor… in terms of flavors it was surprisingly bland and touching boring… seemed it was more done to be tasted by the eyes as it looked amazing! But after the three course no choice option I came home to make myself a sandwich- after paying 60,- per head. Service was great but ambience was basic and even felt a touch neglected. Not bad but no cigars either.

Well I knew it would be fancy, but what I wasn't expecting was how flavorful everything would be. I was not dissapointed in anything and I am usually a fake meat vegan. Would come back for the 4 course vegan as I got the 3 course.

What a fantastic place! It offers a tasting menu with vegetarian and vegan options , every course tastes incredible, I am a meat eater but my friend isn’t but I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to everyone . I loved all the food and it was a great experience made even better because of the lovely staff team .

A very cozy restaurant with incredibly delicious food. We spontaneously reserved a table for two during the week. It wasn't until 9:15 p.m., but it was definitely worth the wait! There are vegetarian and vegan surprise menus, which can also be combined in various ways and, if desired, accompanied by wine. The service was super friendly and we felt completely at home! We'll definitely come back!

Very good vegetarian menu, good service

Extremely friendly service, very nice atmosphere, and crazy delicious food. As a non-vegetarian, I am extremely impressed by the creative and tasty dishes. 10/10

Great refined vegetarian and vegan restaurant.

Really tasty food. You can choose between a vegan meal and a vegetarian meal. You can also choose between 3 or 4 courses (4 courses includes desert). When I went 3 courses cost about €42 and 4 courses cost about €51.

We had the vegan and the vegetarin menue, both were great. Thanks!

Unforgettable experience, this restaurant offers surprise menu either vegan or vegetarian. We opted for one of each and were truly delicious. Great flavour parings and great textures. The service was outstanding as well. Highly recommended!! We will go back there for sure, because they also change menu regularly. I’m already very curious of the next one!

A welcoming, cosy venue serving food which succeeds in being both Innovative and hearty. Options of 3- or 4- course chef's surprise menus. Not to be missed.

Delicious vegetarian food, great wine and nice atmosphere. Very enjoyable experience all round.

Really great food and nice waiters. If you want to experience something new, you should go there.

Very nice to have been your guest last night. And warm regards from us (Indian lady and Dutch man) to that nice Italian boy from Piedmont. Greetings, Jethro

The dishes itself and the flavour combinations were somewhat disappointing , especially for these prices. Not one dish gave me a 'wauw' feeling. Honestly, there are much better vegan restaurants in town.

We created the atmosphere ourselves. Informal? Please pay half an hour before closing. Food with subtitles, little variety and small portions.

I tried the four course vegan menu at De Waaghals. The food is great, among the better places in Amsterdam. The first course was really good and the celery starter with leek butter had all the right flavours. The second course with roasted carrots was amazing as well with the madras sauce. The dish that lacked for me was the main dish - lentil crumble with caramelised onion in potato purée with parsley oil. I think it needed something more to match up to the first two courses. The dessert was great again and the orange flavoured toffee brownie with walnut ice cream was a great combo. The service could improve a bit - like being attentive about providing water when I tried to get the staff’s attention for good ten minutes. Also the wine pairing was good but also the most expensive one in the menu was recommended to me so I don’t know if there were less pricey options too. Good experience overall and hopefully will visit again

Fix 3 or 4 courses concept place. Food is quite delicious, smash pot good idea but still not my favourite in these group.

You're vegan or vegetarian, or want to try a meal vegan or vegetarian? Go there, it's amazing what they can do with vegetables and fruits! Super tasty!

Fantastic experience, delicious cuisine and super friendly staff!

Excellent vegan restaurant, the dishes are refined and delicious and well matched with the wines. The service is pleasant, the atmosphere is cozy and subdued.

I really liked every dish, from the starter to the desert. The dishes were refined with different consistencies and with a sophisticated appearance. The staff is really kind and prepared to explain them. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant. I was surprised how they’ve been able to create vegetarian dishes with so much taste. I recommend it, and I’m not even vegetarian or vegan.

Excellent food and a good wine selection. Each course on the surprise menu was beautifully prepared and well portioned. Highly recommended, even for non-vegetarians!

Beautiful place and really well thought out dishes with an excellent balance of flavors! Had the vegan dinner and it was some of the best vegan food I've had in my life. I'll definitely be back!

Truly incredible. The food was so creative, the wine pairings were amazing, and the service was casual and attentive. Loved it here.

Overal an ok experience. The two starter courses were decent but we were left disappointed with the mains. I’m not sure serving half a roast onion with an assortment of creams as the main course was a wise culinary decision. The dish as a whole was sweet and lacked textures that were pleasing, it left me quite befuddled. The wines were better than the food, service was attentive.

One of the best restaurants in Amsterdam! This food is culinary and art masterpiece! They have 3-4 courses options. Everything is veryyy delicious. I also liked people who work here, they are friendly. It could be busy so it’s better to book a table on their website.

What a unique experience! The vegetarian/vegan menu was exceptional. The staff took the time to explain each of the dishes. Great service in a very cosy atmosphere! Will return once again!

Affordable conscious bougie food! Meals were all vegetarian and we really enjoyed the innovative recipes! I know their system is to have a surprise menu but I would have still liked a menu card or a little recipe description that comes with the recipe written down because some of the descriptions recipted by the servers were too quick for me to get.

Excellent food. Tasting menus available for 3 (42 eur) or 4 (51 eur) courses, vegan or vegetarian. They are very different meals, not just something missing to make it vegan. Excellent service, meals and mood, faultless.

Eerste bezoek. Zal niet mijn laatste zijn. Ik heb aangegeven diabetes te hebben en de chef heeft rekening met mij gehouden. Super! Heerlijk gegeten, van amuse tot aangepast dessert (het tussengerecht van 4 gangen menu, portobello). Prachtige presentatie, werkelijk plaatjes voor het oog. De uitleg mocht van mij iets minder uitgebreid, het eten koelt snel af (bij hoofdgerecht). Gaf me een gevoel in een sterren restaurant te zitten en dat vind ik een beetje overdreven, moet men van houden. Wel aardig personeel. Ik ben geen vegetariër en heb niets gemist! Aanrader in De Pijp!

One of the best meals in town, happens to be vegan! Everything we tasted tonight was wel prepared, beautiful and surprising. We choose to share a vegetarian and vegan 4 course meal to compare every course. The vegan options won in 3 cases. But everything was super tasteful. The staff was friendly and well informed about the dishes and the wines matched seamlessly with the tastes. Go To Tip when looking for a adorable, vegetarian/vegan dining experience in Amsterdam.

Heerlijk vegetarisch gegeten. Ze maken er echt wat van ipv de standaard Portobello. Fijne bediening en lekkere wijn. Echte aanrader voor iemand die eens niet standaard uit eten wil

We got lucky with a walk-in table available and found ourselves treated to a fantastic vegetarian tasting menu (vegan option available too). They have non-alcoholic drink options. The staff are lovely and we had an amazing experience. Thank you!

Una piacevole sorpresa. Io e la mia amica siamo state così bene. Tutto quello che abbiamo mangiato era davvero delizioso.

Stond al een hele tijd op de lijst en van veel mensen aangeraden gekregen. Eten was goed met veel variatie. De locatie is mooi en ondanks dat het vol zat, maakte het de akoestiek niet slecht. Service is behulpzaam. Absolute aanrader voor alle soorten eters. Eén groot punt voor verbetering: de timing van de gerechten was vreemd: de eerste gang kregen we direct, om vervolgens 75 min te moeten wachten, waarna weer snel, en daarna weer na even. Daarnaast ging dat ook gepaard met dat we actief op zoek moesten naar service om een nieuw drankje te kunnen bestellen.

Heerlijk vegetarisch eten in stijl. Ik kom hier nu een paar jaar en het eten stelt nooit teleur. Het personeel is vriendelijk, snel en weet altijd prachtige beschrijvingen te geven bij het uitserveren van het eten. De sfeer is gemoedelijk en het interieur gezellig. Wij kozen voor een vega driegangenmenu. Als eerste kregen we een amuse van biet en linzen. Vervolgens een voorgerecht met venkel, waar ik normaal gesproken niet echt fan van ben maar deze was erg goed gestoofd en op smaak gebracht. Het hoofdgerecht spande de kroon: een langzaam gegaarde ui met allerlei uitstekende smaakmakers. Het dessert was een combi ananas-kokosnoot. Niet mijn favoriete smaken, maar de lichte smaken van onder andere de muntgranita sloten goed aan bij de wat zwaardere gangen ervoor. Tot slot hadden we bij 1 van de menu’s een wijnarrangement en kaasplankje en beide waren super. Bij de kaas kregen we een lekkere port. Kortom: een heerlijke culinaire ervaring die smaakt naar meer!

Always a delight to dinner at De Waaghals. Hands down one of my favourite restaurants in the Netherlands. I'm not a vegetarian for find myself enjoying all the dishes here regardless of having no meat. It also doesn't try to create near dishes with vegetables, but rather just makes really amazing tasting vegetarian or vegan dishes. Dishes are always on point, very balanced flavours, perfect level of creativity and gastronomy without being pretentious. The menu (set menu of either vegetarian or vegan option) changes according to the produce of the season and you can always expect to be pleasantly surprised with the composition of the dishes. You can tell that the one creating the menu loves food. The service is great although on this visit it was a bit off one of the services staff, but we all have our bad days. The rest of the staff on the night were super hospitable.

Cozy and classy vegetarian (or vegan by request) restaurant. Touch of fun; they have a "surprise" prix fie menu. Good quiet dining option.

2 dishes out 3 were mostly tasteless, and the main dish was built around a piece of onion… The desert was tasty and original!

Absolutely delicious food that tasted homely and comforting and at the same time light and not rich and oily! Superb healthy food based on vegetables super inventive and beautifully presented! Fab

Alles tip top! Werde wieder kommen, wenn ich in Amsterdam bin. Danke für den tollen Abend😍

Excellent vegetarian and vegan dishes in a surprise menu of three or four courses. Nice selection of wine and very nice and warm staff.

One of the best vegan chef’s menus I’ve ever had and phenomenal service! Will definitely go again when I’m back in the city.

Delicious food, interesting flavors, seasonal ingredients and a cozy ambiance. They operate with a set menu that changes regularly and accommodate vegan/vegetarian/gluten free without compromising flavors(even the gluten free bread is delicious). A worthy contender for anyone looking for quality food and a great atmosphere. Oh, and the service was really good too. Very attentive, friendly and considerate regarding the gluten intolerance of one of our group members. Thank you for the excellent experience. We will surely be back for round two🤤

Wat een festijn! De presentatie van de verschillende gerechten is goed en over elk gerechtje is goed nagedacht. Ook het vrganistische menu zit goed in elkaar en het voelt helemaal niet alsof je concessies doet: als een vegetarisch gerecht niet veganistisch kan dan staat er een totaal ander meesterwerk tegenover! Hier wil ik zeker nog wel met vegan vrienden gaan eten.

Some of the best vegetarian meals I’ve ever had in my life. The service is spectacular. The food is mind blowing off the charts good. My only wish is that they had merch so I could rep them elsewhere. Stickers, hoodies, T-shirts, hats, anything I would rock that around the world. An absolute must if you’re vegetarian, or if you’re not when you’re in one of the best cities in the world.

I believe that was the best restaurant experience that me and my friends ever had. Dishes are incredible, they look and taste amazing! I recommend this place especially to people with allergies - the staff is really caring and open to customise food for you. Definitely worth visiting!! 🙆🏼‍♀️

Het is aangenaam om in een restaurant te eten waar de norm vega is. Mooie creaties op je bord met heerlijke smaakcombinaties.

I had looked forward to eating at this place, given its description on the web. It was underwhelming. The staff were not very attentive or knowledgeable and the cost of the food was excessive relative to the quality.

Het eten was geweldig. Het concept is een 3 of 4 gangen menu en keuze vegan of vegetarisch. De vegan optie was misschien zelfs nog beter dan vegetarisch. Leuke ietwat onwennige bediening. Er was iets met de vloer (waterschade en daardoor het hout omhoog gekomen?), maar dat was geen probleem. Aanrader ook voor vleeseters.

Found De Waaghals by accident in the Pijp and really glad I did. I came with some vegetarian friends, and we loved every dish. Really innovative, delicious dishes that will also impress carnivores. Also good value for the quality, we had the set vegetarian menu for €39, vegan options also available. Great experience!

Heerlijk eten en prachtig geserveerd. Mooie vega gerechten waarbij niet geprobeerd is een vleesvervanger toe te voegen. Smaken zijn heerlijk gecombineerd en je mist je stukje vlees of vis niet.

This was a lovely experience!! It’s so rare to eat at a restaurant led by a truly inspired chef! This was truly the best meal we had in Amsterdam. Vegetable forward! What a delight! The flavors were wonderfully composed. The only dish we could’ve left was the amuse bouche.. the rest was beautiful. I did the 4 course tasting, the main was Polenta with edamame and roasted garlic purée. Delicious! I’m still thinking about the roasted Fennel starter.

Außergewöhnlich kreatives vegetarisches Essen, meine Zunge lechzt heute noch einen Tag später nach diesen Leckerbissen. Bravo
