Super stylish, sensory experience. - Edit
If you are a vegan foodie, you like wine or sophisticated fruit drinks and you've watched The Bear and wondered what going to a place like that is really like? Well I'd recommend this place. Sure the portions are annoyingly small, a kind of taste torture by dint of minimalism! But they do taste [censored] superb.
Read moreThey do spuds like I have never had before and are exquisite!
The catch is it ain't cheap despite the sliding scale! But that's the point of the posh evening meals at Testtafel. They fund the cheap daytime lunch and the other good vegan food deeds that this crew do! So if you can afford more than 50euro for a superb vegan dining experience (drinks are extra but they were special too!) and you like the idea of supporting a good cause then this is the place for you.
Pros: All vegan fine dining, Great service geat grub., They have a ginger cat.
Cons: Not cheap

Een vegan ervaring die je ziel raakt - Edit
Bij Testtafel in Amsterdam is Vegan eten op een hoog niveau.
Read moreElke gang was een kunstwerk: ongelooflijk origineel, gedurfd en tegelijkertijd verfijnd. Smaakcombinaties die je niet ziet aankomen, maar die perfect samenkomen en je blijven verrassen. Het is eten dat nieuwsgierig maakt, ontroert en je even stil laat zijn.
Bij iedere gang werd met zorg en passie uitgelegd wat we proefden. De gastvrijheid was warm, oprecht en persoonlijk: precies wat deze ervaring verdient.
Het uitzicht is adembenemend. Een panorama dat de magie van de avond compleet maakT, als een droom.
Testtafel laat zien hoe grenzeloos, spannend en elegant vegan koken kan zijn. Dit is vegan fine dining op een niveau dat je bijblijft. Een absolute must voor iedere vegan (en eigenlijk voor iedereen !)

Amazing - Edit
Amazing food! Very creative, fresh, delicious. Completely exceed my expectations. Don’t know how this place is not more in the vegan radar yet. Lovely space, lovely and very knowledgeable staff and the non alcoholic pairing was also great! Definitely recommend and will return soon!!

Tasty experiments - Edit
The dishes were all nicely presented and made with interesting ingredients and flavours.
Read moreWe particularly liked the bread with bay aioli, cucumber mustard pickle and burnt spring onion butter; the mushroom pearl barley risotto with wild garlic and chicory; and the asparagus granite with mint chamomile cream.
The dishes were all small, and at first we were afraid we'd leave unsatisfied, but in the end we were nicely full.

A seven-course menu to support social initiatives - Edit
Love this place! Though it’s a bit outside the city center, it's right next to Sloterdijk station and easy to reach. I've been here several times already. The menu is fully plant-based and changes weekly. Delicious food, good wine—love their concept and vision!

New favourite! - Edit
Would love to return, also for the volkskeuken/squat kitchen nights. Great food and amazing atmosphere. At the end of our dinner, a club night started in the same space, the breakbeat tempted me to stay. Definitely take a look at their socials or site for the full event/dinner overview.

Best place in Amsterdam - Edit
Excellent atmosphere and people.
Read moreThey bring 7 dishes, all unique, delicious and original. With endless amounts of bread and dips. The bread is out of this world. Some of my friends bought their recipe book just to get that recipe!
With the testtafel you also help the Sering, which serves all you can eat lunch kitchen for an affordable price (5.5 EUR).
