Lavinia Good Food in Grachtengordel-Zuid

A super find along a pretty street, walking away from the Rijksmuseum. Full of thoughtful healthy food. We were compelled to buy very many drinks on account of the great selection. Great veggie and non-UPF options. Quirky decor and fun eclectic mix of glasses and so on.

Amazing vibe, lovely staff, great food. What more can you ask for in Amsterdam!!!

The gluten-free options make this lovely lunch spot definitely worth a visit. Every toast can be made with gluten-free bread. These toasts are then generously topped with seasoned vegetables, and you can always opt to add extras such as bacon, feta, etc. The place is also cozily decorated, with pleasant, quiet background music and atmospheric lighting. Definitely worth a visit. What a lovely surprise

Good lunch, fresh ingredients, pleasant staff. The carrot cake was different from the usual and delicious.

Came here for breakfast and ordered the avocado toast. Beautifully presented and tasted amazing too. Super comfy vibe. Definitely recommend!!

Very nice atmosphere, and received excellent service from the nice guy behind the bar.

Cozy and delicious. Avocado toast is so good!

A lovely, cozy atmosphere. Ideal for arriving in Amsterdam. Delicious food and attentive service. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm in Amsterdam again.

This place lives up to its healthy ethos - the meals we had were packed with fruit and veg, and were very tasty. They can offer gluten free versions of most of the menu, and made sure that the meal we ordered for a coeliac was cooked separately to avoid cross contamination. The food was delicious and the chef was lovely - he clearly takes great care of his customers.

Amazingg!! Great food and atmosphere

Delicious, honest food - prepared with love.

Moroccan pancake with grilled chicken was so fire, I asked for avocado on the side expecting like 4 slices and they gave me like 2 avocados worth. Amazing, also got the passion fruit and raspberry (?) vegan treat - woooooow. Thank you for fuelling me for the entire day. Staff were perfect and the chef came out and brought me a takeaway box+bag without me even asking. Also on a gorgeous quiet street away from tourists and chaos

Nice little restaurant which served great food very quickly

Had delicious freshly made pea spread on toast with an egg. Good quality, relaxed atmosphere, and pleasant service; definitely worth a repeat visit! A nice spot in the city center, away from the hustle and bustle.

Figure col open and is closed until July 21st.

Really enjoyed this little venue in a side street. The staff were lovely and the food was great. Gluten free options available.

Super cute place, healthy, and with lots of choices. Great attention to detail and the staff are fantastic :)

Had to wait 45 minutes for the food. Cold bread, boring service from the waitress.

Great place for a breakfast/brunch ! The banana pancakes were amazing

We just happened on this place looking for a quick bite to eat. Very good service, cute place and vegan friendly. I ordered the avocado toast. The server suggested the sautéed mushrooms as a topper (great suggestion!). Very tasty!

Great place! We were walking around this part of Amsterdam and happened to find Lavinia Good Food. My wife is vegan and ordered the avocado toast. I had the chicken club sandwich. Both were outstanding.

We sat in there waiting for someone to take our order for over 30 minutes. They said that someone was on their way and that they had slept in. Two people was working in the kitchen but didn’t take our order? So bad service and who oversleeps this long and the company does not fix the problem immediately? The opened 1.5h before we arrived, someone should have shown up after not being at work for 1.5h after opening.

Nice food, very fast and friendly service! We just walked in and there were a few free tables, but i think it is better to reserve as usually this place is quite full 😊

WOW! Food, location, WOW! Thank you all so much

Lovely place and very kind staff. Avocado toast is definitely recommend 🥑

Nice place with good vegan options for a group with mixed dietary restrictions

Great variety of food and drink options. Excellently seasoned, very friendly and accommodating chefs. Delicious vegan options. Would definitely return.

Great place, very cozy, food was great and tasty with decent prices. I fully recommend !

We had our last brunch in Amsterdam here and it was a cosy and delicious closing to our trip. You can adjust their menu to what you prefer; vegan, vegetarian or high protein+ asking for their cool gluten free toasts.

I want to admit that this place is really key in in to service! I have issues with stomach and can’t eat a lot of things, they allowed me to change and cooked for me what I could eat !!! The dish was amazing

A truly successful lunch: the tortilla was truly delicious, soft and flavorful, with fresh, well-balanced ingredients. The place is welcoming and well-kept, with a quiet atmosphere (perfect for a quiet break), and friendly staff. It's easy to see why it's often cited online as a "healthy" spot downtown: lots of light, vegetarian, and vegan options, and excellent coffee. Excellent! Thanks!

Don't eat here!! In an area where all the breakfast/brunch spots are packed with tourists, there's this little gem that's not too crowded. The place is very welcoming, and we had the best lunch of our stay in Amsterdam!

The service is quick and the food tastes good.

Incredible. Had the vegan roasted eggplant and it was just spectacular. They have a couple vegan options for dessert too, I tried and loved the pink cake ! Great variety and selection of everything. Cosy atmosphere. Great service. Will definitely come back when I’m back in Amsterdam.

I don't normally write negative reviews, particularly for food because I generally am super grateful to just have a meal, whether or not it is good or bad. That all said, me and my partner had breakfast here and both found it inedible. I got the shakshuka, and it tasted like someone heated up canned salsa in a cast iron and put mixed salad greens with it. No spices, and the egg, which should be runny for dipping the bread was completely overcooked. The worst shakshuka I've ever had in my life and couldn't finish. I've never known anyone to mess up something as simple as pancakes, but the pancakes also tasted like dry cardboard. The pricing is also high, considering the poor quality of the food. Don't be fooled by the foods presentation, which is what attracted us. I feel bad writing this because the staff is kind, but just wanted to give people a heads up : /

The food was really fantastic and the service exceptionally friendly!!

I don’t know why I keep giving a chance to this establishment. Every time I’m here I wait for to be served for longer than any other place in Amsterdam for the simplest of dishes. I asked for an avocado toast and got a sad sad plate with some greens and red cabbage sprinkled on the plate, a thick bread (delicious I’ll give them that), avocado and one tiny poached to the level of hard boiled egg. Including the small orange juice I had with it I paid 20,75€. I also shared my displeasure with the staff.

The atmosphere is phenomenal. We loved the food espacially the carprese toast. Everything was great. Brilliant establishment🥰

The food was delicious. Everything we had was amazing.

Banana pancakes were really good, the fruit was really fresh too. Nice coffee and the staff were so friendly. We were there around 11am and it was nice and quiet.

Great brunch spot, trend dishes like pancakes, avocado toast, açaí and similar. Bread was very good and all dishes in general full flavor. Amsterdam prices, two people, three dishes and two drinks each was around 40€.

Great service and fantastically tasty lunch!

Very disappointed. Extremely dirty! The whole place needs a thorough cleaning. The sight of the dirt unfortunately spoiled our appetite. €50 for 2 breakfasts and 2 chai lattes. The price is unjustified. The chai latte came from a ready-made powder. You could taste it! Way too expensive for that! The staff was extremely listless. They were sitting at the table next to us and playing on their phones. – Maybe they should use the time to clean instead of playing games. – Small tip. We won't be back. Truly unacceptable. ————————————————————————— Very disappointed. Extremely dirty! The whole place needs a thorough cleaning. Just looking at the dirt really spoils our appetite for food. €50 for 2x Frühstück and 2 Chai Latte. The price is not justified. The Chai Latte comes with a fresh Pulver. Hat man auch geschmeckt! Dafür zu teuer! Personal extrem Lustlos. Saßen am Nebentisch and have handy play. - Evtl useful man who has time for playing and not for handy games. - Kleiner Tipp Kommen nicht mehr wieder. Good garnicht.

Worst experience, if I forget about service as the waitress was not really paying attention about her costumers, on the other hand she was kind and she gave us discount as an apology. Meanwhile in the kitchen we’ve got an avocado toast with guacamole that was almost sparkling, disgusting it was there at least one week. When we complained, the chef got mad. He started the new guacamole with cursing in the kitchen. He went to the table and pick the rest of the rotten guacamole from our plates. Well, this experience I’ve never seen in my life. Hope we will not get any food poisoning.

Ordered a gluten-free avocado sandwich. It came with some brownish avocado mash and an undercooked egg, even egg-white was raw. I didn’t even get a full slice of bread - just a transparent half-slice, even though you pay extra for a gluten-free bread. Overall, the portion was tiny, poor quality and definitely not worth the money.

All of us who tried the French toast, the toast with scrambled eggs, and the shakshuka were very delicious.

The service was very friendly and attentive, despite the language barrier. The prices are generally reasonable, but seem excessive for the small portions. The food, however, tasted excellent. 🙏🏻 The restaurant is ideal for breakfast: a pleasant atmosphere and a great way to start the day. One criticism, however, is that we weren't informed from the start that only card payments were accepted.

Very friendly staff, great and organic products

I must say I loved stumbling into this germ of a restaurant. The vibe is pretty laid back and relaxed. The food looked appealing (I ordered from what another customer was having, the way it looked so good and I did not regret it at all). My wife also had something with a pancake in it and when I say we called home (South Africa) about it. WE CALLED HOME ABOUT IT. Definitely worth checking out and please do.

Great food, friendly staff :))) Will definitely return! Dog friendly

Everything about this place is lovely!! Would be back!!

Amazing gem in the center of Amsterdam! Worth a visit!

We waited forever for someone to come over and give us our menus, and then again until we could order, even though only one other table was occupied and the two waiters were standing behind the counter chatting... No, the food was good, my colleague's was okay. All considering the very high prices...

We had lunch here four times during our week in Amsterdam. Fairly simple but good healthy option, very friendly service, in a lovely little corner of Amsterdam.

I almost never write a bad review, but on the way home, I was still surprised. You pay for the atmosphere and the city center location. The service is friendly, but that's where it ends. Lunch in Amsterdam isn't cheap, but here the sandwiches are 18 (!!!) euros, and we paid 20 euros for gluten-free. With prices like that, you have to serve a spectacular meal... which it was anything but... We got a wafer-thin slice of bread with chicken, guacamole, apple, and boiled lemon... we didn't like the combination, so we left the lemon and apple off. The Chai Latte was also lukewarm and cloyingly sweet. I hope the owner/chef revises their prices, portions, and ingredients soon...

Food took more than an hour and it was not busy. Very over priced. Would not recommend

Super friendly staff! The food is excellent! I'd love to come back again.

Nice location but expensive for what was served and looked like everything was out of a packet from the Albert Hejin up the road. Staff nice about it and location very nice.

Not good food. Very expensive for basic stuff from packets that doesn’t taste nice or have any effort put into it. Bit of a scam and wouldn’t recommend. The waitress was lovely though and was very obviously embarrassed to be serving the very much underwhelming food she had to serve. There are much better places to go where you won’t be ripped off.

try the house dish. no regrets.

52 euro for a breakfast. 2 eggs with toast. Coffee and a juice. Ridiculous scam

The food in general was okay, but we expected way more - based on the prices and the motto to serve local and healthy food. It was very warm inside (although 15 degrees Celsius outside). The avocado toast was quite good, but it could have been more avocado. But the banana pancakes were way too sweet and we could only eat 1,5 of the 3 in a portion (for 15 Euros). The pancakes were partly burned and overall way too dark. We paid 70 Euros for a breakfast for two, but went hungry and disappointed. Although there was not too much going on, no one cared to ask whether we were satisfied with the food.

The special Pumpkin Toast is absolutely amazing!!!

The place is cozy, simple but nice, and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is nice and they serve you a decent portion. The waitress was super smiley and very nice, she made the experience 10x better. I can only recommend this place!

The tofu scramble and French toast were excellent. We will definitely be back if we ever go back!

Delicious food and great decor. Seated 8 of us with no problem and the service was friendly and efficient

The energizer bowl was delicious and healthy. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

I visited as a solo traveler from Hong Kong. I ordered just one vegan egg sandwich and one coffee, but was charged €43.30. When I checked the receipt later, I realized multiple food items were added that I never ordered. It felt like the staff Sonia, deliberately made up orders to overcharge me. To make things worse, when I asked what Portobello meant, the staff lady member laughed at me — I believe she assumed I didn’t understand English. While the food itself was good, the experience left me feeling disrespected and scammed. As a traveler, especially one navigating a new country alone, this was deeply disappointing. I hope no one else has to go through this.

But what a find!! We had a blast! I recommend the pancakes with my eyes closed. By far the best I have ever eaten in my life...

AWESOME ! The place is magnificent, the cuisine healthy and colorful, and the service is fast and pleasant. I recommend!

Good food and great coffee. A bit expensive, but that's Amsterdam

A great place to eat qualitatively, balanced and healthy. Lots of choice of drinks and super fast/nice service, the setting is very nice and welcoming. The food is good and the cakes are excellent!

Welcoming and buzzing with positive energy - we found this cafe/restaurant when we were looking for somewhere for lunch. The menu is full of appetizing dishes that you know will do you nothing but good, so choosing what to have is a difficult decision. We were a group of six and without exception we loved the food and the place and felt blessed to have found it. The service was wonderful, the food arrived promptly and was fresh and delicious.Thank you Lavinina's for a most enjoyable meal.

amazing, good portions, good price, tasty, wide range of options (also customizable like adding things or changing them), great service, really cute atmosphere

The place looks very nice and the desserts are delicious. But the food seemed far from being healthy: the chicken sandwich was way too spicy and the potatoes were very oily and spicy too. I have a very sensitive stomach and for a person with a similar peculiarity I am totally not recommending this dish. Very sad to say it, but I didn’t like the food and the feeling after it was very uncomfortable.

I come here every time when I’m in Amserdam and am never disapointed! Increadible food and ambiance <3

Thanks to all the people working there, specially to our very great waitress Helen and Mr Abdul of course!!!

Fantastic meal. And very healthy Definitely come here for lunch more often

Iba a reservar un almuerzo para 6 personas y en la reserva se esperaba que pagara 90 UE solo para reservar un lugar. ¿Es una broma? Su tostada revuelta es 14. 50 pero para reservar una mesa tengo que pagar 15 UE por cada persona? ? ?

Good food, good portions. Cozy atmosphere inside.

Finally s tasty delicious avocado toast. A great start of the day

A surprise for me. I didn't know it. The food was delicious. It was busy, most tables were full. Two people worked there, the cook who you could see working in the kitchen and the woman who served, but it all happened quickly and efficiently while there was a very relaxed and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended, although I don't hope for TikTok rows.

Average too high prized food. Carrot cake was fine, but too sweet with too much cinnamon. The pumpkin soup didn’t taste like pumpkin due to the overwhelming amount of coconut cream and spicy spices. The avocado toast with salmon and egg was ok but the avocado spread seemed not very fresh. Won’t return!

Nice, atmospheric place for breakfast or lunch. I had the French toast and although the amount of fruit was overwhelming, I thought the toast itself was a bit too soft. My girlfriend had the pumpkin toast and loved it. The pistachio cake was tasty, but just didn't blow me away. The servers were two nice and well-meaning teenagers, who were just not the most attentive waiters. I really had to signal them to order dessert and our table was not cleared automatically. A point for improvement.

After a long search, we found Lavina for a group of seven people. We were warmly welcomed and had a wide selection of food. The dishes were mostly delicious, especially the chef's creations. We were served quickly and also received great advice. We can recommend Lavina to everyone.

Tryed to get a coffee there, but two women just stand behind the counter talking to each other and no one comes to the table to give you a menu or take your order. There was only one waiter doing all the work.

Little Messy, Bathroom needs maintenance, Floor in Dining Area dirty. Bring at least 1.5 hours of time with you for breakfast to get served.

We visited Lavinia Good Food in Amsterdam and were quite disappointed. While the ambiance was nice, it was too noisy to enjoy a relaxed meal (but well as much Dutch restaurant, so it didn't bothered us so much). The food itself was good and tasty, but overpriced for the portion sizes, we were still hungry at the end of the lunch, despite taking a dessert (which were nice and pretty faired priced). The juices tasted fine, but again, the quantity was disappointing for the price. As for the chai latte, it was downright awful — it tasted like plain milk with a hint of spices. We didn’t even finish it. The service was deplorable. There were three waitresses who spent most of their time chatting behind the counter instead of attending to the customers. We had to call them over every single time we needed something. To top it off, at the end of our meal, the waitresses asked us to leave in order to free up the table, which felt pretty rushed. The only saving grace was the older gentleman in the kitchen, who was incredibly kind and seemed to be doing twice as much work as the three waitresses combined. For a bill of nearly €85 for three people, this was far from worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

It's a nice lunch place. Service is fine, food is good. It feels a little messy.

If you ever find yourself in Amsterdam on a cold and blustery day, I hope you can find your way here… because, if you do, they have a spectacular pumpkin soup! Served with fresh warm bread, this has been the most satisfying meal I’ve had in Amsterdam over the course of the last four days! Bravo Lavinia! And they have delicious cappuccino to boot.

Well-kept place, with recovered materials. Healthy but rich and tasty food. Advised!

Delicious food, but the service was really mediocre. Young girls without a manager or hostess with experience in the workplace. There were only 6 tables of guests and yet the two girls seemed to be out of control. We had to wait a long time to be helped, dirty tables and when we asked for the bill, we were allowed to pay immediately instead of being shown the bill first. Fortunately, I got it afterwards when I asked for it, and fortunately because she had packed a double lunch. It's strange that they don't check the bill in advance before printing it out and giving it to the guest. Very inexperienced staff and not really friendly or hospitable. Doesn't match the delicious food served. We were there on Sunday November 17th

Have you been craving breakfast all day? You will definitely find something delicious at Lavinia. The atmosphere is pleasant, the plate layout is beautiful and the food leaves you wanting more. Not because it is too little, but because you can have breakfast here all day long. Craving for breakfast at odd hours? At Lavinia you'll sure to find something to your liking. The ambiance is cozy, the plating looks fabulous and the food makes you scream for more. Not because it's not enough, but because you'll want to stay here having breakfast the whole day long.

This is a beautiful place to have breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The staff is incredibly sweet and caring and the food is amazing! Highly recommend! Will come back next time <3

I'm a very fussy eater and didn't think I'd like this place but the food was fantastic!

Cozy place with a nice choice of vegan menus

Delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️and very nice atmosphere 🫶

Out of all the brunch places in Amsterdam this is one of my new favorites. The location is super central and the vibe inside is a mix of industrial and alternative chic with cool art works on a wall and cozy furniture. The cakes, which I believe they make themselves are delicious. We also had a full brunch with the shakshuka and the roasted eggplant. Prices are not cheap but you get a MASSIVE plate. So definitely get your moneys worth. The eggplant with portobello bacon was super nice, hummus very creamy and everything harmonized well with each other. I was missing some bread on the side which would have been nice but quantity wise definitely not needed. Service was friendly although not the most attentive but still 4 stars worth. All in all I would definitely come again. Also because (unlike other brunch places) it’s not overcrowded on a Sunday and they don’t kick you out after 1,5h. Will come again 🫶🏾

I would love to come back here for the tasty juices and the super nice lunch menu
