Vegan Junk Food Bar in Oude Pijp

I found VJFB to be overhyped. I've had a lot of vegan food and a lot of cities around the world and it tasted like any other burger I could find at home. The loaded fries I had were good -- with peanut sauce, mayo, onions and pickles -- but the fries themselves had no flavor. Service was pretty bad.

Second time coming to a Vegan Junk Food and the food is amazing, rated by both veggies and non veggies. Really reasonably priced. Our server was lovely and attentive and helped make our friends birthday, thank you :)

I wouldn't support this place if I were you. They went bankrupt in Barcelona, ​​and the former staff there are still waiting for the salaries they didn't receive but are entitled to. My advice is to go somewhere else.

Food was satisfying and delivered on the promise of junk food. I liked the variety in the choices and vegan takes on local specialities. The restaurant got busy quickly on a Friday evening. Had made a reservation so no trouble getting a table. However staff seemed a bit disorganised, which was a little distracting during the meal.

VJFB is toooooo fire 🔥 We had looked up the menu and decided we had to try it for ourselves . Lemme tell you something, We’re glad we did. We got the Flamboyant Shrimpz and OMG i wish I had a place like this back home. We also had the Notorious Burger and the Chikn burger. The atmosphere was dope, I appreciated the music as well as the aesthetic. Vegan or not, this place is sooo good.

One the best vegan restaurants in Amsterdam! The place is SO BEAUTIFUL inside, the staff no comment, SO SO SO SOOOO LOVELY Hassan and the other guys were so smiley, nice, welcoming, loved them! The food OMG THE FOOD, you should try the shawarma, the girls at the kitchen are soooo lovely too and the desert on that small pot with chocolate, you can't miss it! I would definitely come back and recommend 200000%!!

I only had the classic vegan bitterballen, but they were delicious and the sauce was very good too. I was only there briefly, so I don't have a more detailed opinion, but I would come again and maybe try a burger.

It's been a staple among our Amsterdam restaurants for years. Next to the Heineken Experience and close to the Rijksmuseum. The burgers and croquettes are fantastic, as always.

Really great food. This is our second visit to Amsterdam and after last time VJFB was a must. Service was excellent very friendly. Food excellent and prices very reasonable. Perfect

Tasty food and good choices. Wanted to try it all!

So delicious! The food feels decadent. The mayo and cheese sauce on my chicken burger would fool anyone. I will come back here for sure.

It’s by the waterfront area, it’s quite good and the service is a bit slow but taste is good and a small portion of food made me full, I liked the taste with the sauce better. They have a lot of options to choose from. They explained everything in detail how’s it made in the menu so it’s great to be there as a vegetarian in place like Amsterdam it’s good place to go to

It’s our go-to place when in Amsterdam. Not only is the burgers good, but the cecar salad is out of this world!

Every time we’re in Amsterdam, Vegan Junk Food Bar is a must-visit – we’ve been to the city eight times in the past four years, and each time we make sure to come here (often more than once!). The food is consistently incredible – honestly, it just keeps getting better. The flavours are bold, creative, and indulgent, but without leaving you feeling heavy or sluggish afterwards. It’s the perfect kind of vegan comfort food that tastes every bit as good (if not better) than the non-vegan versions. From the colourful loaded fries to the burgers and nachos, everything is presented beautifully and tastes amazing. You can really feel the energy and fun vibe that the brand is all about, and the team always makes the experience welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam – whether you’re vegan or not, this place will impress you. We’ll definitely be back again on our next trip!

Great food! Very tasty burgers (we had Daddy’s and cruelty free) and dirty fries (we had fizz and mix). I’ve tried a lot of vegan junk food and this is definitely in the top range. Only downside was that you had to pay extra to get ketchup with your fries - but maybe that’s standard in the Netherlands?? Unfortunately the service was very slow and they even forgot to give us our bill, so we had to ask for it. Also - the music was so loud that it was difficult to talk, and this was during lunchtime. Therefore only a 3 star in total!

Horrible, chemical-laced, and overpriced food. Add to that the owner's lack of ethics, and I'd never go back.

Last visited this spot 7-8 years ago and being back in Amsterdam I had to stop by again. The menu is extensive with lots of vegan options! I got the iconic rainbow loaded fries. Decent portion size for €16, and topped with vegan chicken and bacon and a creamy sauce. This was pretty good, not the most flavoursome option, and I think a burger might have been a better choice. Next time!

Very good food. I didn't expect to be so pleasantly surprised by the vegan burger 🍔 😄. The dishes look beautiful and taste even better. I recommend it.

The place offers a variety of dishes, and everything is 100% vegan. Their cheese substitute is really good, feels creamy and cheesy. Great burgers, the bacon substitute has a strange texture I recommend it without, but the mac and cheese balls were crazy. All burgers come with fries, but still expensive

You can also fry it yourself... The Vegan Juicy burger was incredibly dry and tasted nothing like Juicy or Yummy. You're in a neon-dark space, resembling an amusement park. It's fun and tries to be alternative, but it doesn't quite succeed and falls short on quality and quantity. Since the food was really disappointing, it's the last time I've been, which is a real shame. The sauces were good, by the way! Excellent!

Highly recommend as a non-vegan. Such tasty food and lovely fun cocktails too!

I'm not a vegan but ate here with friends and really enjoyed our meals. Food is fab and really colourful and appetising. Highly recommend.

i really loved this place ! the waitresses there were so kind and attentive to needs. amazing food, explosion of flavor every time. can't wait to be back, thank you!

Great place, the food was very tasty. A bit overpriced though.

Vegan can't taste this good? Then you haven't been here yet! The Vegan Junk Food Bar in Amsterdam is more than just a restaurant – it's an experience. I was simply thrilled! As soon as I entered, I was struck by the creative, colorful atmosphere: street style meets stylish chaos – just as wild and exciting as the food. My absolute highlight was the Daddy Burger – and what can I say: WOW. The patty was incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and so umami that you completely forget that nothing comes from an animal. Add to that those crispy, golden fries and the crazy dips – a perfectly harmonious package. Every bite was pure joy. The portion sizes are generous, the staff super friendly, and the menu is a firework of creative vegan interpretations of fast-food classics. Nothing is copied here – they're reimagined. I'm neither a hardcore vegan nor a foodie – but what's on your plate here simply makes you happy. And the best part: It feels like guilt-free indulgence. The bottom line: The Vegan Junk Food Bar is a must for anyone who celebrates good food—vegan or not. I'll definitely be back. And the Daddy Burger? My new crush.

Great vegan food, very tasty burgers!

The food was delicious. I've been here many times, and there are so many vegan options on the menu; amazing! The burgers are my favorite.

Ridiculously good vegan food, super cute and in such a great area!

Honestly as a non-vegan I love this place. It's honestly one of the best burgers you can get vegan or not. Friendly staff as always and honestly it's worth going to and they deserve the support, the food is always amazing but the company is having financial problems and had to close down some of their locations but not this one so I'll happily eat and enjoy their food and try to support their company.

The food was super delicious, the service was super friendly, and the advice was also excellent. I would come back again and again. The colors and the overall style aren't really my thing, but that's a matter of taste :)

Fun vegan options in the Pijp. The venue offers a nice range of contemporary vegan takes on burgers, fries, and some other snacks. Full bar menu, with enticing cocktail options, and some solid craft beer offerings. Nice staff, and a good stop in the neighborhood.

For herbivores, this establishment is an excellent place to satisfy your hunger. Those who don't like vegan food should steer clear. It tastes strange.

2x burger with frites +2× mint tea ~ 47€ Everything is vegan. Food was delicious. Good lacation- behind Heineken Experience.

Really good junk food and a lot to decide from. We had a couple of different things which all were good, but the nachos were insanely good. Also the server was very friendly.

Excellent experience. Everything was delicious.

The burgers were very delicious. The vegan cheese was very tasty but also not sticky at all. The fries were perfectly fried. Everything’s vegan so you don’t have to worry about ordering something wrong. All in all was it a very nice meal.

Fun but pricey! We enjoyed everything we had, but couldn't afford to go there very often. The kids loved the colourful dips, and appreciated how they matched the decor so well.

Really good vegan food here. So i understand why this restaurant is so popular. The only thing i disliked about this place is the prices! It is to expencive to serve vegan food... and the portion is a bit small, so i wished i got a bigger portion because of the extremely expensive price on food here. Vegan food ain't supposed to be that expensive

Food is amazing. A burger with fries will cost you around 17-19€

Delicious food. Friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Exactly what you would expect if you’re looking for unhealthy but delicious vegan food. We orderd 2 loaded fries (one with shawarma and one with „fish“ and it was amazing

Great restaurant that I recommend people to come and enjoy, especially on a vegan level, which I'm often impressed with 😘

I recommend it!! 🩷 Delicious burger, very original The drinks were also very good Situated on a terrace near a pleasant street

Outdoor seating and ample seating on the inside. My non vegan friend tried the kapsalon and I had the double cheezy smash burger. They were so good! The portions were the perfect size and we can't wait to go back!

A truly unique burger experience! The Vegan Junk Food Bar impresses not only with its creative, entirely plant-based menu, but also with its colorful and modern presentation. The black and pink burger buns are real eye-catchers, delicious, and perfectly matched. I was particularly impressed by the combination of crispy fries and unique dips. The location on Marie Heinekenplein is ideal for a break while exploring De Pijp. I took these photos during my visit—as a photographer, I love capturing culinary experiences in such colorful ways.

The vegan restaurant had some hits and misses. The nachos and burger were very delicious, but the mac & cheese balls were just average. Service was quick, but the host was a bit inattentive and got our order wrong twice. Overall, tasty food, but the service could use some improvement

Crispy, perfectly seasoned fries and an incredibly delicious vegan burger with a pink bun and blue sauce—a visual highlight and a real hit in terms of taste.

The portion are very filling and the service was very nice. They checked on us multiple times. You can get tap water and a take-out container if you don’t finish your food. In summer there is a fountain with kids and sometimes dogs playing in the water, which is very fun to watch.

A restaurant that lives up to its name 😋 lots of vegan burgers, but also other finger food and "loaded fries". The bacon is incredible! The portions are generous and the fries very good, I recommend you visit! The decor is also super nice, and the location is ideal on a small quiet square

the food and service is good, but not amazing - however a company which claims to be ethical (environmentally and socially) needs to pay their workers, which via FollowthemoneyNL they certainly don’t in Barcelona

This was truly excellent quality. The burger was better than any burger (yes, even with meat) I've ever had. The fizz and chips felt like I was actually eating fish! Delicious fries. Delicious sauces with beautiful colors. The meals looked beautiful! Very colorful and so incredibly delicious. Great service. Definitely recommended. There were no seats left when my boyfriend and I arrived, but they immediately found a solution, and we were able to order within 5 minutes. Really, really good! I would recommend this to everyone!

I don’t like people who exploit their staff like they did in Barcelona.

There’s no way I’ll eat at a place that talks about ethics but exploits its workers. If you care about people, think twice before supporting them.

Nice branding and ‘ethical’ image, but behind the scenes it’s worker exploitation. So much hypocrisy. If you want to know the truth, look up the article ‘Ethiek is marketing bij Vegan Junkfood Bar’ published by Follow the Money.

I had the fish burger and have to say it was the best I've ever tasted. Definitely a recommendation. In addition to the phenomenal taste, the burgers are also an absolute eye-catcher with their pink/black buns.

Good meal. English-speaking staff.

One of my favorite vegan spots in Amsterdam. I recommend the loaded fries and shrimp! Very flavorful sauces! I also like the cheese sauce. There's usually young, kind staff present, many of which are vegan themselves!

The food was tasty but didn't feel very special. It was a little on the colder side as well which I was a little sad about and for almost 20€ for a dish, a sauce with the fries would've been nice. The people were really nice though and the place was really cute too.

For junk food, the food is truly amazing; it tasted simply wonderful. 😋 Everything is purely vegan and highly recommended, thank you 💚

My only issue with this place is that I wanted to try everything, but my stomach will not cooperate. So many choices!! Love the colorful dishes! I also appreciate having a salad option! I had the Caesar salad and the rainbow freak fries. The salad was well dressed 🤵‍♀️ and cheesy. The fries were sauced up and the vegan chicken was 10/10. I would’ve loved to have gotten a half order of the rainbow fries and half order of bitterballen so maybe that could become a menu option!

Fantastic place to visit while in Amsterdam. I highly recommend it. There are so many options available.

Chill, beautiful and very good! The classic burger is incredible with this perfect house sauce :) I recommend without hesitation

Very good food, friendly staff and nice outdoor tables.

Such great vegan junk food. Friendly staff. Fun cocktails.

the must visit place for top quality vegan food

This was the best place that I ate in Amsterdam! I’m vegan and have eaten so many vegan caesars and this was definitely the best i’ve had. I shared the caesar salad, onion rings and mac n cheese balls with a friend and we finished it all- highly highly recommend! The service was great, too

Just landed after a long day and ordered on Uber Eats only to wait over an hour then they cancelled the order. Avoid them and their horrible customer service. Many other vegan restaurants in Amsterdam who deserve your business.

We came to Vegan Junk Food Bar for drinks before dinner and our server asked the kitchen to surprise us with a sampler of their Fly Wingz…..they were delicious!!! Great service, very hospitable environment, lots of seating options, and good vibes. Definitely would recommend, vegan or not!!

"Vegan Junk Food Bar is a haven for vegan food lovers. With delicious and creative options like burgers, pizzas, and shakes, this place proves that vegan food can be just as tasty and satisfying as traditional food. A must-visit destination for vegans and non-vegans alike."

Unfortunately, we expected more, as it was very expensive and tasted nothing special. We had loaded fries, a burger with some fries, and two really small drinks (€4 each!) for a total of about €41. Not worth the hype it once received.

Llevo años queriendo visitarlo aquí desde que lo vi en Instagram. La comida siempre se ve tan bonita. Feliz de decir que sabe tan bien como parece. Soy vegetariana y mi esposo come carne, pero incluso él estaba delirando sobre lo buena que era la comida. Hay un montón de opciones en el menú y el personal era servicial con la personalización de ellos. El cóctel de unicornio tipy era encantador. Postres muy buenos también. Sin duda volvería aquí si visitamos Amsterdam de nuevo.

Love it! Awesome place. Also for non-vegans!

Amazing restaurant! Ive been there a year ago and I liked it so much! I am glad I managed to come back this year again! The restaurant is all vegan and offers plenty of vegan options! The burgers are absolutely delicious and they look so nice on pictures! I also really recommend the Vegan Chicken Wings, they are a bit spicy tho. The prices are a bit expensive but all in all, we had a really nice afternoon.

Really delicious vegan burgers, which even the meat-eaters among us enjoyed. The onion rings were nice and crispy. The kids loved the colorful buns and sauces. The drink selection was also great, and the service was friendly and attentive.

Been here many times but the burgers are not what they used to be. They were thick and juicy before but now thin and dry. It reminds me of microwave burgers. The burgers now cost 18,50 minimum because they include fries so you can't just order a burger anymore and share a portion of fries.

Unfortunately, it's no longer what it once was (exactly three years ago at another location in Amsterdam). The value for money is the deciding factor for the two-star rating. The "Sumo Platter," for a mere €22.95, tastes okay, fried fast food except for the dips, but by no means "super size." For drinks, we stuck to Coke (€3.95 for 0.25 l...) because cocktails would have been simply too expensive for us. The ambiance is okay, the service was friendly and genuinely attentive. In the end, unfortunately, this is no longer a vegan restaurant we would recommend (in our opinion).

We ate at VJFB three years ago, but it was on a different street back then. Now we really wanted to eat there again. The new location is in a beautiful square, and we were able to eat outside in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. We ordered the large "meat platter" and a burger. The platter featured many "fish" and "meat" variations with four sauces and three smiley-faced fries. Everything was deep-fried and, of course, delicious. But for just under €23 (actually intended as an appetizer...), we expected more, especially considering the sight of three (?!) fries. The burger was okay, the bread a bit dry. It's also very inconvenient that the burger is just served on a tray with a paper backing, which you tear when you cut it. We paid almost €50 for the above-mentioned meal and two Coke Zeros (0.25l) - ugh. We were very disappointed and probably won't be coming back.

Delicious vegan krokett hamburger 🍔 highly recommend

Enjoy your meal 👍 until next time.

The food is tasty and the server is friendly. If you fancy a chill place to have a burger, here it is.

Everything was great! If you didn't know that everything was vegan, you might mistake the "fake" meat for real. There was a bit too much sauce and cheese on my burger for my taste, so I had to eat it with a fork and knife, but that didn't change the taste. The staff all spoke good English and were friendly. The prices were also very reasonable. Highly recommended for people who don't want to eat meat!

Vale, pero exagerado y caro. Vinimos en pareja y tuvimos: 1 hamburguesa (no grande) 1 Papas fritas (no grandes) 1 papas fritas cargadas 2 Postres pequeños 1 té 1 coca 2 Espressos promedio Pagamos 76 € Euros por esto. Estaba bien, pero no sensacional. Obtienes lo mismo de mejor calidad en muchos lugares por significativamente menos dinero.

While the staff was nice, the food quality is not impressive. There are a whole lot of things that can be played around with vegan food today and VJFB is stuck with this one standard faux-meat option (that they have probably sourced in bulk) which is used in almost every dish, along with a rather tepid looking pink sauce. One of the waiters was also clueless about what the dishes on the menu contained. The cafe is in a lovely location and all they need is a refurbishment of the menu (please think beyond faux meat to all the amazing vegetables and lentils we have and you can come up with wonders!)

We were there in May – luckily we got a table without a reservation because it was raining heavily. We shared a sumo platter and extra fries, with Sprite. The food was delicious and quite greasy – just what you'd expect from junk food. The sauces were also very good. One point deducted because they didn't have the "Fly Wingz" – instead, we got something that tasted more like fish nuggets. Still, overall, a cool place!

Really super nice! The location is nice, the staff is great and the food is very good!

Great setting and friendly service! Its pure vegan junk food as the name suggests - tried sumo platter and nachos and the platter was delicious and beautifully presented!

Tasty vegan burger. A bit too expensive in my opinion. Very nice staff.

Love the food here! Too bad they don't serve sweet potato fries anymore 😢

Reminded me a lot of an iconic vegan place in Atlanta, Georgia, US called Slutty Vegan. Very similar vibes, especially with clear inspiration from the aesthetics introduced by the Trap scene. Did was very good and the TRUFF sauce was amazing.

Very good and super tasty sandwiches! Recommended!

This place is a living hell for anyone who loves food. When I was there with a reserved table, I was sold a squashed mass as a "burger." The sauce that came with it was blue or pink and tasted like rotten toothpaste. Every taste I placed on my cheap palate made me question every life decision. I was there with 15 people, all of whom agreed with me. If you're looking for an alternative to moldy waste paper, this establishment caters to all your needs. It's definitely a place to be missed, and it limits what you can call edible. This restaurant pushes the boundaries of what an omnivore can digest.

Vegan Junk Food Bar is the place where plant-based food and guilty pleasures come together. The menu is creative and daring – from colorful burgers to loaded fries and crispy “chicken” without chicken – all 100% vegan and surprisingly delicious. The flavors are strong, the portions generous and the presentation always Instagram-worthy. The atmosphere is urban and energetic, with friendly staff and a smooth service. Even non-vegans will happily return here. A must-visit for those who want to enjoy fast food without compromising on taste or sustainability.

Muy bien decorado y gran música de fondo! La comida era muy sabrosa, tuvimos papas fritas icónicas del arco iris, crujientes bolas clásicas y hamburguesa sin crueldad. El personal también era muy amable!

Mouth-watering burger & delicious crunchy salad. Good atmosphere, great service, with decent price. Too good to be true!

Must-eat in Amsterdam. Bring your grandparents that still think vegan food must be healthy.

Always a favourite place to eat whenever we visit Amsterdam. The menu is amazing and to have such choices of vegan food really does mean you're literally spoiled for choice. We usually order a few dishes to share and always leave stuffed and smiling. Fantastic staff too. Can't wait until our next visit...

It was very delicious and healthy, I really liked it.

My favourite place to go whenever I’m in Amsterdam. Been here multiple times and the burgers always hit the spot. There’s so many to try and the extra sauces are great, particularly the cheesy one. Wish I had a big enough stomach to try more 😂

Wonderful food, great service and good friendly vibes. 10/10

Very nice staff and mostly good food, all vegan. We especially liked the fish burger. We didn't really enjoy the bitterballen with sate, but I think thats just personal taste. Not too busy on a weekday.
