About De Waaghals
De Waaghals restaurant lies a short stroll from the heart of Amsterdam’s museum district, in De Pijp, a bit off the tourist path. For twenty-five years it has attracted scads of devoted diners from all over for its top-notch vegetarian cuisine. The décor is smartly white and bright, drenched with sunlight, with red and wood-toned fittings. A changing array of art lines the walls, celebrating other cultures or displaying the beauty of nature and its creatures. Each month the menu features the cuisine of a different country – often related to the artwork -- alongside the Classic, vegan and children’s menus. Recent offerings included specialities of Portuguese pea, courgette and mint omelet and ‘hammered potatoes’. De Waaghals classic dishes include fresh artichoke with herb mayo, mushroom risotto with parmesan, grilled aubergine with tomato sauce, and vegan banana pie. The ingredients are as organic as is humanly possible, as is the wine and (often local) beer list. Even the coffee and loo roll are biologically sound. In summer the lovely, small garden comes into use. De Waaghals’ ambience is informal, relaxed and very, very friendly.
On arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via Toptable.

This was a return visit - I'd first eaten at De Waaghels on my previous visit to Amsterdam over a year ago. I wasn't disappointed on my return visit. This has to be one of the nicest vegetarian restaurants I've eaten at; the food is fresh and imaginative and the menu changes twice a month. I'd suggest pushing the boat out and ordering either the De Waaghels classic dish or the dish of the month, but don't neglect the deserts either!Review
Great choice of Veggie dishes, which makes a real change for anyone who is a vegetarian. Friendly staff and a nice informal atmosphere.Review
Lovely find, not too far from the centre of Amsterdam, and near the Museums. Relatively small; very busy. Would say booking at weekends is essential. Menu was varied, and included some special offers. We both chose mixed dishes, providing a good variety of mezze-type foods. Food was very tasty and well presented. Service friendly and, considering how busy they were, fast enough. Local cat seems welcome in there. It was very well behaved, I loved it, but some UK diners were surprised!Visitors
