Loving Hut

Great place for vegans and non-vegans alike! Their menu has a ton of options for whatever mood you're in (Asian, burgers, soups, salads, desserts). The lady who helped us was really sweet, and the food was delicious! Portions are huge! It doesn't have the most restaurant-y vibe, but if you don't mind that, it's absolutely a must! Kind of far from the center, but that also means that it's not very touristy :)

I visit Amsterdam yearly and make loving hut a top priority to visit on my travels. The name says it all- you can taste how much love is put into their food. The flavors and variety are incredible and I've enjoyed every dish I've tried. The family that owns it are some of the most genuine people I've met in holland. I look forward to many more visits. Do yourself a favor when in the area and give them a try, you won't be disappointed :-)

We were in Amsterdam for two days a while back, and while we planned on going to two vegan restaurants over the course of the two days, we ended up in Loving Hut again the second day; it was that good!

All the reviews here were good, but then I got to the review of 'ichliebedich', who claimed this was just a mediocre Chinese restaurant where the dishes just happened to be vegan. I suddenly remembered my visit to Loving Hut in Maastricht, which actually fell into that category (yuck), but the one in Amsterdam is much more like the great Loving Hut in Leuven (Belgium). The person in charge even was a cook over there for a while (it took us a while, but we remembered seeing each others faces back then).

Each dish has a very specific taste (we checked 8 of them :) - 2x two starters and 2x two main courses) and the desserts are very, very nice as well. The people in the kitchen really know what they're doing!

Too bad Amsterdam is 250km away.

I went here yesterday for dinner. Its a little bit outside the city centre, in more of a residential area, but is close to the 21 bus and the 12 tram. I arrived at 4:45, so I had to wait a few minutes for it to open back up at 5. The restaurant is bright, with a cafe feel coming from the scattered cushions and deli counter. There is a large television screen with Supreme Master content running, as to be expected in the Loving Hut, but when I was there the volume was off so it was not obtrusive.

The menu is a mixture of Asian-style dishes and Western-style dishes, and a mixture of full plates and snacks/appetisers. As I only wanted something light, I got a broodje croquette sandwich. This was a potato croquette with some sort of pickle mixed in, covered in bredcrumbs on a hot dog bun with mustard and salad. Small and simple but really tasty. I also got a latte machiato, a Bionade lemonade and a slice of chocolate cheesecake. The chocolate cheesecake was great, it also had coconut in it. All together it came to €13.70, so about average Amsterdam prices.

Ordered several appetizers, they all tasted amazing!
Staff was friendly, I could pick up the order within 15 minutes. Place was packed with people. No airco though..(in summer might get hot in there)

Especially loved the fake shrimp!
My partner loved the samosa the most.
The cashewballs were really different and rich flavoured.
The sweet potato fries were delicious as well :)

Deserts were also great!
Tried the tiramisu, too sweet for my taste, also missed a solid base in the tiramisu.
orange cake was very nice. Vegan cake yay!

staff are really friendly. we landed late in Amsterdam and came in at 8.45 (they close at 9) and the staff still served us everything we wanted - even packed us a tiramisu from the fridge. try the Dutch croquettes and satay skewers - coconut curry was also good.

Having been to manz other Loving Huts around Europe, I expected this first Dutch venue to be fairly similar. However, I was suprised to find that as well as the usual selection of Asian dishes, sandwiches, burgers, cakes and vegan cheese specialities too. Fake meats still dominate overall though, so if that isn't your thing, perhaps you won't be too impressed. If you do like these sorts of food, I'd say that the quality is generally very high, and the portion sizes are good, whilst staff are generally helpful and make an effort to get to know regulars. As a bonus, the decor is nice too, though the TV can be distracting.

Weird restaurant. Just normal plain Chinese food which happens to be all vegan. The food was very greasy. TV was on with Ching Hai cult propaganda. There was a loose bird. Isn't that a health violation? Not visiting this place again.

Lots of options, casual place, friendly staff.

The food was beautiful, the restaurant was so peaceful and relaxing and the lady working there was very kind. The tempeh was so delicious. I wish I ate here more when I was in Amsterdam!

Great little place. I have been to the Brighton Branch also and this one was just as good.
I have the Cashew balls for starter and my boyfriend had the spring rolls.
Then for mains I had a hot chili sauce with veg and tofu, while my boyfriend tried the Tempeh salad. It was all delicious. Basic clean cut decor and friendly atmosphere.
Prices are reasonable and it was situated a short tram ride away from a our hotel

Excellent food , fresh vegetables and home made sauces , warm atmosphere , lovely people and in addition to all this
great experience I met MOMO the parrot , he is part of loving hut's family in Amsterdam !!!
my next time in Amsterdam I will visit that wonderful place again for sure .

I ate here on a Wednesday evening with my girlfriend. We ordered the Tempeh salad, Noodle soup bowl and a side of Kimchi. The place was peaceful, the lady who served us was lovely and the food was incredible.

It's easily the best Vegan place in Amsterdam, and a peaceful escape from the city too.

Fresh food with a good balance in rice versus vegetables versus fake-meat and spices, clean but warm atmosphere, very nice staff. The sate is very good, and the soups, and... Basically I am never disappointed when I choose a meal. You can go for lunch, dinner, big meal, small. Veggies or fast food. They renew their menu often. Comfortable like a cafetaria, but not with the lowbrow atmosphere. Light colours in decor. Also great for kids. You get a lot for a low price. Sauces in main meals are delicious.

We're vegans and this is our nr 1 in Amsterdam. We are regulars here, and will probably be until we move away ;)

Oh, how I love the Loving Hut Concept! So glad there is one in Amsterdam.
We had a lovely lunch, two vegan dishes and we both enjoyed a (HUGE) piece of homemade raw cake. Omnomnomnom
It was delishious! If you're around, or not, GO HERE!
The owners are very friendly and we had a nic chat about why they opened this restaurant.

The restaurante is not very big but the food is good.
The only thing that was bothering me was the bird they have.
Poor little fella they cut his feathers so he wont flight.

Well, but the burger is great. You have t try it.

Yesterday we had the noodle soup and bami with sateh. We had to wait a bit, because everything is freshly prepared. The food looked, smelled and tasted great with very subtle flavours, brought to us by the very nice staff. With 10€ for the bami plate, which left me no place for a desert, the price is very good for what you get.

They have quite a lot of different stuff on their menu, from asian to burger, and sometimes even some dutch stuff too. Its ok for the price but not the best vegan food I've had on this planet. Try their milkshakes and the tiramisu, they are amazing. Something what really concerns me is the parrot which seems to be their main attraction for kids. Its cute, but I am an ethical vegan and really cannot see birds in cages. Makes me sad every time I go there.
