Since being in Amsterdam I haven’t found it hard to eat out.
Many restaurants will cater for vegans, but one of my favourite places to eat when you just feel like having a burger and chips is the Junk Food Bar. They have a few branches around Amsterdam. See Below for Links.
Junk Food Bar has a good selection in their menu from Burgers, Salads to specials. I normally go to Marie Heinekenplein branch near De Pijp, but weekends and evenings you usually have to wait for a table anywhere between 15 to 45mins (latter mainly in the summer months) and you cannot make a reservation.
They also have outside seating in the summer. Staff are friendly but when its busy you might have to wait quite while for your food to arrive. For some reason you don’t see many children dining, and they don’t have a particular menu for Kids which I personally think they should introduce as the portions on the normal menu can be quite large for a small child.
So what are my favourite dishes. I normally go for the Shawarma Royal, Daddy Mc Chik’n and Vegan Hotdog – not all at the same time of course!!
