Wonderful, beautiful, delicious - Edit
Everything at Bonboon is wonderful. You can opt for five or four courses (and choose which one you skip) and optionally have a wine or tea pairing. The dishes are usually fantastic (creative, tasty, beautifully presented) and the wines too. Service is excellent.

Good but not wow - Edit
The restaurant is in a hotel and the space is lovely; well-decorated, intimate and calm. The kitchen is visible and seemed to be running incredibly smoothly.
Read moreWe had the five course tasting menu for €65 per person. The meal was good but didn’t wow me or inspire me, which was a shame. I noticed that a lot of the dishes were very sauce-heavy (a lot of cashew cream, a lot of mole etc). The flavours were good but the balance was slightly off.

Really nice experience - Edit
I believe this is a must in Amsterdam.

Super recommended!

Nice atmosphere, average food - Edit
The atmosphere and staff were so lovely. The food was okay, but the majority weren’t to our liking at all. Very very expensive.

Good but could be better - Edit
Vegan fine dining restaurants are few and far between, so we decided to treat ourselves to dinner at Bonboon when visiting Amsterdam.
Read moreThere is a fixed menu of five courses for €65 or four courses for €55. There's no choice so you've got to trust the chef so it won't be for you if you're fussy!
We went for the four course menu, which means you skip the pre-dessert. Everything was nicely presented and prepared to a high standard. But it lacked any real wow factor, which is something I'd expect at this price point.
Service was also hit & miss, with the waiter getting confused about whether we'd ordered the wine pairing or the tea pairing at one point and bringing the wrong wine at another.
So although it was all very nice, I'm only going to give them 4 stars as you really need to excel at these prices and they didn't quite do that.

Lovely evening. - Edit
I had a great evening with my best friend. The dish with the beetroot was my favorite. Nice that a traditional Dutch ingredient was added to the menu, namely the "oliebol".

Gisteravond zalig en gezellig gegeten bij Bonboon. Van amuse tot aan het dessert alive en goed gecombineerde gerechten gegeten. Echt fine dining, en dat is als vegan nog wel eens zoeken, maar hier dus zeker gevonden.
Read moreEn dat midden in de stad, in een mooi pand, dat mooi en sfeervol is ingericht. Fijne bediening en het zicht in de keuken is leuk!

Great for fine-dining - Edit
This place is really nice when you want to go out for a classy dinner. The flavours and textures are surprising and they use some ingredients I normally don’t use. They also offer vegan cocktails, which are high-class and tasty. The only downside is that the dishes are low in protein.
Read moreThe staff is also very nice. They’re serviceable without overdoing it.

Teleurgesteld - Edit
Afgelopen vrijdag 5 gangen gegeten. Het begon top met een heerlijke amuse. Ook het voorgerecht was super. De tweede gang was een ravioli, erg lekker maar presentatie wel wat saai. Het hoofdgerecht was goed van smaak, alleen de portionering echt belachelijk weinig. Stond niet in verhouding tot de rest. Ook erg jammer dat je geen lepel erbij kreeg om de jus goed te kunnen eten. Het pre dessert was saai in smaak en opmaak. Idem voor het dessert. Zonder de crème enorm droog. Waar het goed begon eindigde het toch wel met een deceptie. Toen we aangaven bij de bediening dat we de portionering van het hoofdgerecht belachelijk vonden werd er helemaal niks mee gedaan. Lekker brood op tafel? Nee hier niet. Stond ook niet op de kaart.
Read moreZou ik hier nog een keer gaan eten? Nee, gemiste kans.
Toch 3 sterren omdat we wel een leuke avond hebben gehad met vrienden.

Delicious, great service, lacked protein - Edit
The food was beautifully presented and tasty. The service was excellent and it really felt like a premium service. We weren't incredibly full after the meal but it was just about enough. The main downside was the lack of protein.

Had higher expectations - Edit
We went here to celebrate my birthday so really hoped it would be on point. Unfortunately two of the five dishes (kroketje? and pre-dessert entree) were incredibly salty. We didn't bother saying anything because we expect this was their intention as the dishes are made in bulk...so all the same. We do love salt but even for us, these 2 dishes were a big miss. We ate it all though since at the price of 10 or so euros per each plate we didn't want to waste our money. Also I think that serving cooked radicchio was a strange choice since it becomes quite chewy, meaning that we chewed forever but it never broke down. Also would have been nice to have the curry dish served with even a tiny piece of bread or ideally a tiny bit of rice so most of the sauce does not go to waste. Lastly, we left starving. A pity.

Pros: Rice pudding , Curry sauce
Cons: We left hungry, Over salted dishes, Sterile service
