Favorite Restaurant - Edit
Out of all the vegan spots I tried in amsterdam this was my absolute favorite. Great service, great food, and good decor/ambiance. The restaurant concept is healthy fermented foods. Started our dinner with a bottle of the natural orange wine, had to try the ribs, and I had the ben Ben noodles for an entree. Everything was incredible. Don’t forget apple pie for dessert!
Read morebottino
Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed everything — from the orange wine to the ribs and those noodles (and yes, that apple pie’s a must!). Appreciate the love and hope to see you again soon! 🙌

Delicious food, disappointing staff - Edit
Our meal at Soil was absolutely incredible, beautifully presented and delicious. However our experience was dampened slightly by the staff who were very inattentive. Initially we were greeted and served by a lovely member of staff who left just after we were given our mains, another member of staff came in who seemed a lot more interested in playing his new EP than serving customers. The restaurant was practically empty (we were 2 of the 3 people there) and we were left with our finished plates for almost 20 minutes, my partner eventually went up to the bar and ordered a dessert and then our plates were finally taken. It felt very much like we could’ve just walked out and no one would’ve even noticed (which of course we didn’t and wouldn’t do) and it sadly really did make an otherwise great experience a bit disappointing.

Cons: Staff attitude
bottino
Thanks for the honest feedback—it really matters. Glad to hear the food hit the mark, but sorry the service let you down. That’s not the experience we aim for at all. We’ll follow up with the team to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Hope we get a chance to make it up to you next time.

Great flavor - Edit
The flavor of the food was great. Ribs where more less as I remember (even though it’s more than 10 years ago).
Read morePulled pork tacos had a great combination of flavors.
For mains we had Ben Ben noodles and Bali salad. Both dishes were well balances in flavor and combination of veggies.
The staff is friendly, the interior is ok, great place to eat how ever it is not dining.
Pros: Great flavors, Different menu than most places, Mains have nice combination of veggies
Cons: The interior is not on par with their food
bottino
Appreciate the detailed take! Glad the flavors and combos hit right — that’s what we aim for.

Delicious comfort food - Edit
We had a wonderful evening there. Everything was delicious: we had ribs and mushroom bitterballen as starters, loved them. I then had the Miso Ramen and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, incredibly comforting and full of flavor! 🥰 The cheesecake was also very very nice. I highly recommend it for a cozy dinner in the city!

Vegan Fusion Bar - Edit
Little Bar with few smaller tables and a long table. Few seats outside. The tables are pretty close to each other if you struggle with this.
Read moreYou order at the bar and the staff brings you the food. Afterwards you pay at the bar as well.
We chose to start with the ribs as sideorder, my main dish was the dragon noodles and our dessert the snickers.
The spare ribs are pretty soft and well made. The dragon noodles are not spicy and really delicious. My personal highlight was the dessert, cause the snickers were superb!
Overall it was a really good experience and the menu has an awesome combination. That’s what I love about fusion kitchens.
Pros: Fully vegan, Good desserts
bottino
Thanks for the thoughtful review! Love that you enjoyed the fusion vibes—ribs, dragon noodles, and snickers is a solid lineup 😄 Hope to have you back soon to try more from the menu!

Nice lunch - Edit
Was here for lunch on a week day.
Read moreMenu is found via QR code. Then order with staff.
We had the
Shared entrees:
- mushroom bitterballs 11,5€
- 'ribs' (seitan) 13,5 €
Mains:
- kimchi fried rice 18,5€
- bali salad 14,95€
We had a nice lunch. Loved the seitan and sauce (the 'ribs')! The kimchi fried rice was a bit monotone. The bali salad ok.
Wooden chairs and bench. Not so comfy, some cushions would be nice for a softer seating 😉
Service was reserved, the minimum. And although we were the only (and first for lunch I think?) customers, it took 25 minutes for food to come ...
Two toilets (if I remember correctly) on the side - non-binary. Clean. Didn't see an accessible toilet. Small step to enter restaurant room. Spacious inside.
PS: although we do love samba music, 1,5 hours of samba was too much 😃
bottino
Glad you stopped by! Hope lunch hit the spot—come by again anytime! 😊

It was okay but very oily - Edit
Food is alright. Very expensive. I had the ramen and it was very oily, there was a huge knob of butter floating which felt unnecessary, it didn’t taste like ramen at all. It was okay but nothing special.

Yummy Dutch/ Asian fusion - Edit
We enjoyed Soil Vegan for both their atmosphere and food. The restaurant was quiet with some good music playing the background. We ordered the Mushroom Bitterballen, a fantastic surprise with an amazing texture and fried crunch. Plus a great Dijon mustard on the side. Additionally we enjoyed some of their “Rustic fries” with vegan mayo. The main course was a filling delight too, with a spicy punch. The Ben Ben noodles. A creamy sesame sauce with chili oil and vegan meatballs accompanied the sizable noodles for quite the experience. While very good, it became a bit too much to consume after our exciting appetizers. Overall great experience!!
Read morePros: Atmosphere, Menu options, Bitterballen
Cons: Noodles were too spicy but that’s on me
bottino
Thanks for the awesome review! Stoked you enjoyed the Dutch/Asian fusion vibe—that Mushroom Bitterballen is a sleeper hit. Totally get the Ben Ben being rich after apps, it’s a bold one. Hope to have you back soon to try more!

PRETTY GOOD, DELISH VEGAN 👍 - Edit
Really great options! Lots of Asian-inspired meals like all their noodle and rice dishes with kimchi, sesame or curry sauce.
Read moreWe had the Dutch classic bitterballens for the first time so we ordered that to start with a side of fries. Both delicious!! Then we shared the main of the Ben Ben Noodles which we both thought was really good. It was very rich in its creamy sesame sauce, but so many unique flavors between the chili oil, pickles, meatballs and sesame. It was a really cool combo. Would return to try something new!
bottino
Love it—thanks for the kind words! Happy you got to try the bitterballen and enjoyed the Ben Ben noodles. It's definitely a flavor bomb! Looking forward to having you back to explore more of the menu.
