Délicieux et trendy

Nous n'avions pas réservé et il ne restait que deux tables à l'intérieur , un dimanche soir. Terasse sur rue animée. Les portions étaient généreuses... Malheureusement trop pour nous permettre de goûter à la variété des desserts!

Pros: Variété du menu, Fraîcheur , Décor

great customer service

Very friendly accommodating staff. We got in without a reservation, and they were very flexible in getting us a table. Our order was mixed up during a busy night, but then gave us a dessert on the house to make up for it. Very pleased with our meals and impressed by staff!

Awesome food!

Came in out of the blue just hungry with my GF & the food we got was definitely some of the best I've ever had! I'm definitely looking forward to my next stop here again

Great place

Really nice place! We came here without having a reservation. The staff was really friendly and managed to squeeze us in even though all tables were booked. The burgers were good although they could fine tune the recipe a bit. The french fries and sweet potato fries were excellent. The drinks were simple but tasty. The atmosphere was was well balanced and urban.
Overall we are really happy with both the atmosphere and the staff as well as the taste and presentation of the food and drinks. Recommended!

Closed early 3 nights in a row

I don't recommend coming here for dinner. I tried eating here my first night in Amsterdam but it closed an hour earlier than the time posted. The second night, we called ahead to make sure they were still open and to let them know we were coming. They said the kitchen was staying open, but they refused to serve us when we arrived. This time they closed an hour and a half before the posted time.

I was able to try a dessert on my last night and it was quite dry. The hostess was annoyed and rude. Tried eating here a total of 3 times because of the great reviews and never succeeded.

Cons: Service, Closes earlier than posted times

Good food and service

We stopped by here on a Thursday night without a reservation. A waitress told us that we could eat in the waiting area (which apparently some people had chosen to do), but we said we didn't mind waiting for a table. Even though she told us it would be about 45 minutes, we luckily were seated in about 15 minutes at a high top table with stools, which we liked because it was near the window for good people watching. Since it was very busy that night, service was a bit slow, but we didn't mind as we weren't rushing to get anywhere. We ordered drinks and the lentil appetizer. My gin and ginger ale drink was amazing! My husband also likes his Dark and Stormy (rum and ginger beer). The lentil app was just ok for me in the beginning but it grew on me as I ate it. It definitely was a beautiful dish. My husband ordered the cauliflower steak, which was delicious, but be aware that it's spicy. I ordered the burger and fries (which were a little over-fried). The burger, though, was quite tasty and huge. I could only finish half of it. All in all, we are glad we tried this restaurant and would definitely go again.

It's Ok

My boyfriend liked his plate, although pretty simple; an avocado sandwich, then he also had fries with vegan mayo which tasted really nice. I ordered a salad which was inside a mason jar, because I thought it sounded different, but in reality its just not as good as eating a salad in a salad bowlplate. the salad was OK nothing to write home about. there doesn't seem to be a lot of passion in their cooking.

Pros: Good fries and mayo

Cons: Place lacks personality

Beautiful.

We took a non vegan friend for dinner and he absolutely loved the place and the food! This is great on lots of levels, not least the fact that we think this is definitely one the best vegan venues in
Amsterdam, so to be able to share the MD love is a beautiful thing.
Food, service, vibe - all perfect!

Pros: Great menu which changes regularly, Super warm welcome , Comfortable layout / chilled atmos

Cons: None.

Pretty good

Went here for dinner on a tuesday night, place was pretty full but they could still get us a table, which was very nice. We ordered drinks first. My friend(who's not vegan) ordered an iced tea which contained honey?? While the menu said the place was 100% vegan...! We also ordered food, my 2 friends and me ordered a burger (sweet patato/patato fries included!!!) and my other friend a cauliflower steak. The burgers and fries were so GOOD, really amazing, the cauliflower steak was very spicy, which it didn't say on the menu. As dessert 2 of my friends had a chocolat fudge cake which was pretty good, and me and my friend had a chocolat/coffee/banana/pistachio parfait which costs €7,50 but really tasted like a smoothie with banana and cocoa so not really amazing. For the four of us we paid €100 euros for drink, main dish and dessert which is an okay price! Would go there again maybe for lunch, but wouldnt order the parfait again..lol

Pros: Reasonable portions(burgers) , Okay price

Cons: HONEY???, Not the nicest staff, Some dishes expensive

very nice dinner

We went on Saturday dinner and the place was almost full.

We had Soup for starter, fried broccoli and Gnocchi for main course. All werme delicious and the portions were enough to fill our hungry stomach.

There was one baby high chair, for those who wants to go with baby.

great vibe, looks lovely, fab staff

Very busy but they squeezed us in.staff absolutely lovely and didn't wait too long for food. Burger and chips were ok- the artiest ketchup smudge we've had yet; gnocchi looked amazing, but lacked taste or acidity, unfortunately- could've done with some salt and nutritional yeast in the cooking and it would've been very good. But pricey for the quality of food, but more than worth it for atmosphere and lovely buzz.

Pros: buzz, staff

Great food for the fully fledged veg fan!

Beautifully done out restaurant with great food. Descriptions weren't quite accurate of food (v spicy cauliflower steak which was nice but unexpected!) but we had two great dishes nonetheless. Loved the fully vegan menu! Friendly staff, fast service, had a nice buzz about it :)

Cons: Menu not very varied, needed options for a simpler

Great for when you want to go a bit fancier!

I've been here two times, and it has never disappointed. Everything I've had has been absolutely delicious, and the service has always been on point. It's not on the super cheap side, but it's definitely a place I'd go to when eating out, or celebrating a special occasion. I'd advise to make a reservation as it can get quite busy!

Pros: great atmosphere, filling, yummy plates, friendly service

Cons: not on the cheap side, need reservation

great place for your vegan lunch

Do you want the traditional dutch "kroket" the vegan way? Come to this place. Their menu is meat free and provide many vegan options. Their coffee is great and they even offer three sorts of dairy free milk for your cappuccino!

Caesar salad & raspberry cheesecake - must try!

I'd visited twice before and the food was good but not excellent. Decided to visit again after seeing the new menu. We had the chicken caesar salad, bellito envelopes, fries, raspberry cheesecake and raw chocolate pudding. The caesar salad was a real stand out - beautiful combination of textures and flavours, and very good portion size for a main. Planning to go back again just for this dish. The bellito was presented beautifully but really lacking in flavour. The raspberry cheesecake was lovely - had that real dairy "tang" flavour minus the suffering - highly recommended. I'd skip the raw choc pudding though, just didn't hit the spot. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice - warm but not overcrowded.

Trendy place

Let's start with the best: they serve amazing vegan nachos between 16:00 and 18:00! We also had a very good soup, but the mains weren't as good as we would expect. It's not that they weren't tasty, but with all the hype around MD we were expecting to be blown away with their food. Dessert (from DopHert, another place in Amsterdam) was very good. Staff was very friendly.

Pros: Vegan nachos, Atmosphere

Cons: Overpriced

Trendy restaurant with fastfood style meals

The food was tasty but not fantastic. I found the meals a bit simple. I like my veggies! If you enjoy fast food style meals, this is a good option.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Pricy, Limited options

nice restaurant close to 'de hallen'

MD is finally a vegan place where you can also go for a nice, cozy dinner with friends and family - food is served as a feast for the eye as well
portions are generous and the food has so far always been delicious

Pros: ambience, food presentation, options

Cons: prices are more upscale

great food, quite expensive

Lovely place, one night had a coffee only as kitchen was closed and next day had teas and the MD cheese burger. Was really nice and well presented. My only complaint is that it was expensive for 15 or 16 euros! Plus they could do better with the bread - it was just a cheap sesame seed burger bun. Some people have noted bad service but both times I went the service was amazing!

3.5 star

Great vibe and cool evening venue. Starters were tasty we had the Mushroom Pate and the Roasted Cauli, our mains where not as a good. The burger bun was quite dry, the chips & roasted sprouts particularly oily - not very enjoyable. Non alcoholic Hugo Spritz was tasty. Our server was fab & looked after us very well. Thank you Meatless District ☮️?

Pros: Good evening vibe , Starters tasty

Cons: Oily servings

Great vegan food in Amsterdam!

The Meatless District is a great vegan option in Amsterdam. The food menu is very creative and the food is also delicious! The service is efficient and friendly. Prices are a little high but the creative food is worth it. Reservations are recommended. Though we did not have reservations, we were allowed to sit in the reception area and then move to a table once one became available. The "chicken" is the closest thing to real as we have had which could be good or bad... Presentation is beautiful.

Pros: Delicious food, generous portions, Ambience

Cons: Busy place
