Madre

Since November 2021, Madre has been tempting everyone to eat plant-based Mexican delicacies. The hip restaurant does not market itself as being vegan, while the entire menu is plant-based.

Cannibale Royale Handboogstraat

As a vegan or vegetarian, Cannibale Royale is probably not your first choice. After all, it is a real meat restaurant. But luckily there are always a few vegan options available. However, during the PLANT FWD week things are even better arranged for vegans: the vegan menu will be more extensive and there will be more animal-friendly options available this week. The PLANT FWD week is therefore the perfect week to try out Cannibale Royale. + More info

Restaurant Flore

Hotel de l'Europe on Nieuwe Doelenstraat in Amsterdam houses Restaurant Flore, a 'Conscious Fine Dining' concept, led by Michelin-star chef Bas van Kranen. Here, high-quality ingredients are transformed into simple but special dishes that change with the seasons. The menu therefore changes constantly, based on the following principle: 'vegetables of the moment', which is why there is no menu available. As a guest, you can choose a lunch menu for 110 euros per person, or a dinner menu for 185 euros per person. All dishes are dairy-free and of course the menus can also be ordered as vegetarian. This is normally possible, but during the PLANT FWD week there are even more options. + More info

Demi

Hi, I'm Demi! I'm a true Amsterdammer at heart and absolutely adore everything to do with vegan food. Since 2019, I've been vegan and my love for delicious food has only grown since then. My passion isn't just for the food itself, but also for cooking, visiting restaurants, and writing about food. That's why I've been working with great joy for RestauPlant since May 2022, where all my enthusiasm for vegan food comes together. In everyday life, I'm busy with studying and working, but I also find plenty of free time to cuddle with my rescue dog, Lily. I also love dry white wine, attending festivals, reading, and traveling. For a good vegan burger (preferably with fries and garlic mayo), you can always wake me up.
