The oldest operating veggie restaurant in town; under current management since 2009. The menu is mostly vegan with a few lacto-veg dishes (with cheese), plus raw food, wheat grass juice, fresh sprouts. Take tram 12 or 14 to Bos on Lommerweg. Relocated from Nieuwe Leliestraat 162 in July 2014. Reported closed, Dec 2017.

Reasonable prices - Edit
My boyfriend went to the Flying Saucer on a Saturday evening in July. The menu is or can be made to be vegan and had a good selection of main meals. We had Blue nachos with Guacamole to start to share which were nice and enough for us both. I had the Borneo main dish which was a kind of mild curry with Seitan and cashews and my boyfriend had the lasagna. The portions were large and served with salad. We enjoyed our meals although not as much as other restaurants during our time in Amsterdam. The waitress was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere relaxed. The prices were a few euros less than we had previously paid at other restaurants. The decor was basic and not as inviting as others. Overall Ok but could have enjoyed our meals more.

nice =) - Edit
I liked this place- the chef was very kind and accommodating, as he agreed to make me only a half portion so that I would have to pay less. The food was quite good, too. Nothing incredible, but tasty!

Excellent place, off the beaten track... - Edit
This was probably my favourite veggie restaurant in Amsterdam, hidden a long way down a residential road near the Anne Frank Huis. The portions were large and very good value for money, they had some nice Dutch beers available, and the whole place had a relaxed atmosphere. I had the 'stamppot', a traditional Dutch dish made vegan, and went away very happy with what I got.

Superb! - Edit
This place served me up the best vegan food I've ever had! I'm from LA, went to school in the Valley, and so I've been around to many vegy places. We have great places to eat out here, but I was really surprised to find this place to serve such quality food. It was healthy, delicious, and the guy working there seemed to really care about gastronomy, especially traditional Dutch cuisine; though don't let that fool you, I had the best Lasagna in my life here! The price's are marked to a measure of great value overall.

Homely and relaxed - Edit
A little walk from Anne Frank's house but in a very pleasant area and good to see - even passed some heron on the street on the way! Cosy restaurant with more seating than you'd think; not fancy new furniture but clean and friendly. The menu might not all be available depending on what ingredients they have but there didn't seem many restrictions. Everything made fresh so the sign "no FAST food" really meant what it said - maybe a wait of 35mins for our dinner. Very worth the wait though, great food and HUGE servings.

Spacey! - Edit
Quirky, I had heard that dutch service was traditionally very "relaxed" and my girlfrind had been here before and warned we would be waiting a while, however SERVICE WAS QUICK!!
Read moreThe portions were large and the food was tasty.
The staff were very nice, though spaced out (probably wacked out on goofballs!)
I think booking in advance is against the nature of the place, best just to turn up and look at the board, because the printed menu will tantalize, unfortunately in the original sense of the word from the character of Tantulus in ancient greece, who was punished by spending eternity with delicious fruit just out of reach, for trying to feed the gods HIS OWN SON.
We think you should go for the experience and really recommend it. A rambling review that goes well with the place, except the chef won't try to serve HIS OWN SON!
We will be back, hopefully in January...
Pros: fun, quirky, filling
Cons: no cat, half the menu is an outrageous LIE!

A Pleasant experience - Edit
I went to Amsterdam in Nov. 05' and turned to Happy Cow for places to eat, this was one of them. My review is limited because I was only there once. What I can say is though the service is slow and after a day of seeing everything you get hungry pretty fast, it was excellent and worth the wait. The plate was huge and it was nice to have a hearty filling vegan meal that wasn't reliant on imitation meat. It is not a vegan restaurant alone as Happy Cow indicates so you do have to look over the menu but the vegan options I had were great. There was a dessert, VegaIce that I have not seen in the U.S. I really enjoyed too. The staff was quite nice as well. It had a great environment on a lovely, quite street.
