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.

Perfect restaurant! 👌 - Edit
We hadden een heerlijk 4-gangen diner op een maandagavond.
Read moreAlle gerechten zagen er prachtig uit en smaakten heerlijk. Zeer goed samengesteld en niet de gangbare gerechten, maar erg creatief.
We hadden bij elk gerecht een bijpassende (warme) thee wat ons zeer goed bevallen is. Weer eens iets anders dan wijn en een goed alternatief als je een keer geen alcohol wilt drinken.
Het restaurant zelf was erg smaakvol ingericht. De bediening was vriendelijk en zeer capabel. Helaas spraken ze geen Nederlands (ook niet een paar standaard zinnen), maar dat schijnt normaal te zijn in Amsterdam.
Al met al een aanrader voor een gezellig avondje uit!
Pros: Creatieve, heerlijke gerechten, Bijpassende thee bij elk gerecht, Mooie ambiance
Cons: Personeel sprak geen nederlands

High level vegan cooking in the beautiful Hotel Mercier - Edit
Went for a date and they really blown me away. It’s a hidden gem in the beautiful Jordaan were you still can enjoy without all the noise.
Read moreThe interior by Cleas Iversen love it!
You can choose for a 4 or 5 course menu.
We also took the wine menu.
Every dish surprised us with the wine. High dining in a real beautiful restaurant with great service and open kitchen.
It feels calm, natural and lovely.
Btw they have a big menu with drinks and also a tea pairing!! Must do!
Also a place with friends to enjoy everything.
Thank you for this special dinner, we loved it so much!!

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.

Very nice place for fine dining - Edit
This place is really nice when you want to go out for a classy dinner. The flavours and textures are really good and they used some ingredients I normally don’t use or combine. The staff was also very nice! Since their re-location, they also offer vegan cocktails, which are high-class as well.

Yummy food but slow service - Edit
We got to try all 5 dishes from the set menu.
Read moreThey were all yummy. Portions were indeed not large but altogether they make for a decent meal, in my opinion.
I don't know how to put it well; but the ingredients are somehow «normal» (all rather straightforward vegetables, maybe except for romanesco but still). But that's not a bad thing.
Overall, I was satisfied with my dinner.
The only thing that I didn't much appreciate is the sloooooow service. Having to wait 20 minutes between two dishes is too much. It's as if they are doing that so that you get more drinks while waiting (but that's just me speculating).
Maybe that's alright for most people; but if you don't want to stay 2 hours, maybe you'd better let them know upon arrival.
Pros: good food, good service, seasonal menu

The only thing lacking, is protein throughout the dishes - felt hungry shortly after visiting.
Would return though! 🫶🏻

The new location is even better! - Edit
I was already a fan of Bonboon at their old very small restaurant, and the new location has really proven to be a huge upgrade! Middle of Amsterdam, much more room, great interior and even better food. The staff remains friendly as usual :)

Great fine dining experience - 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.

Had a 4 course menu at Bonboon, each course was paired with a with from a different European country. The entire experience was just amazing and definitely worth a visit.

Suprising - Edit
I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff at Bonboon for going above and beyond to make my dining experience worry-free. Their kindness, attentiveness, and dedication to accommodating my dietary restrictions left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend Bonboon to anyone, especially those with specific dietary needs. It is a haven for individuals seeking exceptional plant-based cuisine in Amsterdam

Beautiful concept - Edit
We really enjoyed our evening at Bonboon and the food was so fun and inspiring, but I wish it was a bit tastier. I really applaud the experimental attempt, though. It's fun to look at a dish and think "I gotta try this at home because I've never seen it done like this before!".
Read moreThe 2 things that for me lowered to 3 stars was the tea pairing and the dessert. The teas didn't taste unique enough and I couldn't distinguish how they were supposed to complement the dishes. I'm sure they were picked with utmost care but let's take the floral tea: it wasn't floral enough. The chocolate cake dessert was dry and having grown up with Swedish mudcake (that can be made vegan), I was lacking a fudgy/oozy texture. The staff was so friendly and the venue is in such a cosy and secluded place. I hope I can go back one day and be surprised!

Amazing food & cozy vibe - Edit
Such an experience! The food was delicious and the tea was really good (never had tea in wine glasses before!). Staff was so sweet and didn’t mind we were late & the atmosphere was calm & cozy. Definitely recommend if you have the budget.
Read moreFIY: it is a lot longer than you might think from the city center, would recommend biking or bus instead of walking like we did (even though the walk was through nice neighborhoods).
Pros: Delicious food & drink, Staff was really nice and professional , Cozy & calm atmosphere
Cons: Expensive

they need to try more but are getting there, - Edit
All vegan fine dining you don't find them in a lot of placese.
Read moreAnd its great that bonboon is filling that gap.
But they need to improve the dishes ore lower the prices
We the full 5 course meal and 4 of them were boring, the flavours are to mellow.
The pre desser was amazing! so i see that there is the potantiol to do more creative things.

A bit disappointing - Edit
I was so hyped to go there and was looking forward to it. We booked it for my b-day (which says a lot with regard to my expectations). The food was okay, don’t get me wrong but it didn’t blow my mind. Also, it wasn’t value for money. For this price and hype, I was at expecting either bigger portions or a better quality. If portions are so tiny, it has to be technically almost perfect, but it wasn’t. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend it.

Cons: Tiny portions, Not amazing technically

One of the best vegan fine dining experiences ever! - Edit
I really loved this place! We had the 5-courses menu. Every dish was perfect, so so rich in flavours and complexity despite its simple ingredients. Staff is very kind and the place is nice (though a bit far from the city centre, but worth a detour!). Price is right for the quality offered. Go try it!!
