Wouldn’t recommend - Edit
Service wasn’t great and food was disappointing (miso ramen and dragon noodles) neither were particularly flavourful and the flavours they did have were bland. Definitely not worth the price. Having seen all the other brilliant reviews maybe we went on a bad day or something but definitely wouldn’t revisit
Read morePros: Cute interior and vibe , Food didn’t take long to come out
Cons: Service wasn’t good , Food was bland

Great warm sandwiches - Edit
Bitterballen didn't taste anything like mushrooms. My dining companion was hesitant at first. I just had to try this Dutch cuisine while I was here. I was very pleased!

Hi,
Read moreThank you for trying out the bitterballen! While they may have surprised you with their flavor, I’m glad you gave them a shot and ended up enjoying them. Happy to hear the sandwich hit the spot too! Hope we can welcome you back soon.

Get the ribs!! 😍 - Edit
My first time at SOIL. I love that everything is vegan! 🌱 We had the Ribs as a starter which were so good and meaty. The texture was amazing. Loaded with lots of sweet barbecue sauce. This was already quite filling as a starter for two people.
Read moreLuckily the cheesy burger and chicken burger we had as mains were not so huge. I liked the cheesy burger, a good classic one. My partner liked the chicken burger as well, but didn’t appreciate the sauce which seemed similar to the barbecue sauce they used for the ribs. The fries were really good. The service was good and I liked the atmosphere. I’d definitely come back (especially for the ribs). #Veganuary
Pros: Everything vegan, Cool staff & customers

Very tasty food, beautiful restaurant, service is ok but could be friendlier. - Edit
The ribs and tacos were delicious, the miso salad also very tasty. The kimchi fried rice was good and the “cod fish” croquettes were a little bland.
Read moreWe arrived at 20:30 without reservation and, although the restaurant was mostly empty, the waitress was hesitant to give us a table. Kitchen closes at 21:00.
We ordered 3 starters/sharing bites and 2 mains, all together; however, they were not served all at the same time as it seems that the kitchen is a little slow. We also had to re-order one item that got forgotten.
No complimentary tap water (charged 3.50 for a large bottle) although we also had a glass of wine.
Pros: Tasty food , Good diversity of dishes, Beautiful setting
Cons: No complimentary tap water, Service could be friendlier
bottino
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the ribs, tacos, miso salad, and the kimchi fried rice. We do appreciate your comments on the “cod fish” croquettes and the service, as we strive for consistency in both our food and experience.
Read moreWe apologize for the delay in service and any inconvenience caused by the forgotten item and the water charge. We’ll review these areas with our team to ensure improvements moving forward.
We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with a smoother experience next time!

Definitely a nice stop if you’re around - Edit
The food was generous, although a bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes. It all came out quick, so perfect for lunch. I enjoyed my noodles, but if it wasn’t for the peanut I would’ve left hungry. Bitterballen we’re good too. #Veganuary

It’s ok but better options in the city - Edit
Food is very average , you can find better dishes in other restaurants. Starters are good but you can find same ones in so many other places in Amsterdam.
Read moreService is quite slow.
Just a thumbs up on the person in the kitchen preparing all by themselves and efficiently.
Pros: Bitterballen
Cons: Kimchi rice, Noodles , Ramen

Great meal - Edit
Had the 'no-chicken' burger with fries. Fries are luckely not fat but not so crispy. The burger buns were extra grilled (+1 point!) and the burger was richely filled with a variety of delicious vegetables.

Service wasn't great and small portion - Edit
Ribs were lovely, had to wait on cutlery, then had to ask for napkins, then had a very long wait for mains. The burger was really good but the portion of kimchi rice was so small for the price. Disappointed with our visit. Quite expensive for the experience we received

Outstanding Food!! - Edit
Some of the best vegan food we have ever had. The most delicious miso Ramen ever! Bar none!! We ate dinner here four out of seven days. Chicken sandwich is delicious. The mushroom croquettes and pork tacos are very tasty appetizers. The cheesecake and the apple pie are excellent. Sadly, we did not get to try the snickers as they did not have any. If you are a vegan and you eat here you will not be disappointed. Oh, their fry game is top notch as well.

Amazing service, nice food - Edit
I was mostly impressed by the very kind service. The noodle main I had was decent, nothing very special but still nice. The aubergine dip is very nice, smoky. The bread is just basic baguette though. The steak like starter was also nice, but a bit cold when it got to the table. Peppers were good, but can’t go wrong with those I think. Drinks too expensive imo.
