The Golden Temple
A calm, organic vegetarian restaurant on one of the nicest ''restaurant streets'' in Amsterdam. Run by turbaned Sikhs, there is a surprisingly varied choice of dishes on the menu. Try the house Thali, a selection of Indian meals in small portions served on a large tray with chapattis and yoghurt. Surprisingly, there are also Middle-Eastern dishes as well as a Mexican combined meal. Vegans are well catered for, even down to the homemade ice creams and caffeine-free, soya milk hot drinks. No alcohol is sold on the premises and the entire building is a smoke-free and chicken egg-free zone.
De Waaghals
"Waaghals'' apparently means ''dare-devil'', but this probably refers to the adventurous combinations of different ingredients served in this attractive vegetarian restaurant. Located in a leafy part of De Pijp, the atmosphere is informal, but the menu is unusual and creative. Organic ingredients are used as much as possible, and a wide choice of different fruit and vegetable juices make a refreshing start to their meals. Each month a dish focuses on a different country and their menu selection changes twice a month, so, unusually for a vegetarian restaurant, there is always something new to look forward to. They have a large selection of beers and organic wines. The Brouwerij het Ij beer is remarkable and is produced in a windmill nearby: Look out for the Ostrich on the bottle label. The interior of the restaurant is very comfortable and has a non-smoking area, and on nice summer evenings you can dine outside in a small but pleasant garden. De Waaghals is very popular with a growing number of non-vegetarians, so it is advisable to book in advance.
Maoz Falafel
A bright and friendly place for healthy and filling takeaway food. The chefs prepare mainly vegetarian chick-pea savouries while you wait, served with pickles in homemade white or wholewheat pita breads. There are a few falafel bars in the city centre but this one is the best, with nine different salads including pickled aubergine, cucumber and tomato. Add your own sauces, from their selection. Try tahini, coriander chilli or garlic mayonnaise. They serve coffee and non-alcoholic drinks and delicious freshly squeezed carrot juice.
Branches at Muntplein, Albert Cuypmarkt and Regulierbreestraat.
