This restaurant has a very special place in our hearts because it is where we got engaged! It is also a wonderful, friendly restaurant that serves fantastic vegetarian/vegan food.

Located on the very pretty canal of Prinsengracht, this is a great place to chill out on the terrace in Summer or warm up in the eclectic interior (wooden tables, ethnic style soft-furnishings, plants, and low hanging lamps) in Winter.

The menu includes Mexican, Middle Eastern, Italian, and other European dishes. Starters include humous and pitta bread, vegetarian pate, guacamole and tortilla chips. Main courses include Burritos, pasta and – my favourite – the Vegan Platter. This gives you tasters of four or five different dishes on one plate – for instance brussel sprouts or courgettes in a soya milk sauce, barley and beans, shiitake mushrooms and soya – combinations are often unusual but always interesting and well cooked. For a dessert try the chocolate and pear tart or the devilishly tasty Banana Cream Pie.

Service is very friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is relaxed and, as some tables are shared, it can be a good place to meet people. I'd recommend a visit.

It does get busy so it may be worth booking a table and it does not accept Credit Cards, do make sure you have enough cash.

I went there for lunch. The lunch menu is lighter than the evening menu. The restaurant is nicely decorated, in quite a calming peaceful way. The menus are available in English and the staff also speaks some English. Menu items included rolls, open sandwiches, soup, and salad plates. I had the soup of the day, which was bean and vegetable, and a feta cheese open sandwhich. Portions were very generous. There was a selection of cakes and sweets, but I was too full by then! My lunch of fruit juice, soup and open sandwhich was just under 10 euros, though it would cost more for the dinner menu. The restaurant is on the opposite side of the Anne Frank house, much further down. It is open 12pm - 10pm every day.
