Review: It was full when we went, but luckily there was a table in the back. Unlike the last review we found about 4 or 5 vegan options, but all were fried so they made us a special plate! 5 happycows earned in my book instantly! Very nice staff and perfect English spoken. Loved the local organic beers, too!

On a side note, we took our carni friends here and they licked their plates clean! They loved the lentil burger (has cheese) and the indian dish. Usually they hate dining with us and they were highly impressed!!!

 
Pros: local organic beer & wine * happy to customize a dish *
Cons: * *

Review: I ate here on a Saturday night and enjoyed it. The restaurant looks great and the staff were pleasant but I was a bit disappointed that when I asked which main courses were vegan I was told only one was. It was however very tasty!

Review: The staff at this restaurant was pleasant, helpful, and were able to answer our questions about which menu items were vegan. The food was good - especially after a long day of biking around Amsterdam - but, it wasn't the most exciting or memorable food ever. The server seemed slightly bothered that neither of us ordered appetizers and only wanted main courses and drinks. The restaurant looked clean and was easy to find. Prices seemed fairly average.
 
Pros: * *
Cons: Only one vegan choice. * *

Review: Yum! Simple menu, informal dining,and very tasty fare. "The Classic" offers a beautiful spinach soufle with goat cheese and nice mushroom and fennel roast all accompanied with polenta cake and roasted tomat. There is a monthly special and the orgainc beer and wine choices compliment everything. Save room for dessert. The fig cake is delish. We will come again!
 
Pros: fresh organic * organic beer * small plates
Cons: * *

Review: A great range of veggie food - most of which can be vegan on request. Worth booking - staff speak excellent English if your Dutch isn't great. Fab range of local organic beers.
They do have a cat which occasionally wanders around - that may be a plus or minus depending on how you feel about cats :-)
It's about a 10 / 15 minute walk from the city centre.

 
Pros: Great food * Local beers * Cat
Cons: Cat * *

Review: We visited in May 2007 for dinner. We had the De waaghals Classic and the Lebanese Special. I thought the food was great, the atmosphere comfortable, and the service just fine. My friend was not very impressed with the 'Classic', and it was not as flavoursome as the Lebanese dish. We had to wait a while for the food to arrive, but you could tell it was very fresh so no problem.
 
Pros: Comfortable * Fresh * Resident Cat :-x
Cons: * *

Review: Food is great and healthy. It's also a classy place, not a standard veggie restaurant. They use organic products mostly. For a meal you pay 10 to 18 euro's.
 
Pros: Good food * Very healthy * Nice staff
Cons: None * *

Review: This place is one of our Amsterdam favorites. The menu always has some pleasant surprises: healthy food, tasting well, looking good. We are in the habit of dining early (6 PM), which is probably the reason why we experienced no trouble with cigarette smoke. The interior is modern in a friendly way.
 
Pros: variation in menu * *
Cons: * *
