Overview

Guided by a local, you’ll explore the streets of the Jordaan, cruise along historic canals of the Grachtengordel, pass buzzing squares like Leidseplein and Dam and taste your way through the city’s plant-based highlights.

From sweet bites to savoury streetfood and even fine dining, each stop brings a new flavour and a fresh story. One moment you’re grabbing a colourful dish from a tiny food stand, the next you’re seated in a stylish canal-side restaurant with beautifully plated creations.

But this tour isn’t just about food. You’ll meet creative chefs and rebellious entrepreneurs who are changing the way we eat, and learn how Amsterdam’s plant-based scene is growing in the heart of its tourist centre.

Expect 3.5 hours of eating, walking, laughing and learning – and yes, it adds up to a full lunch. Whether you're vegan, curious or just hungry, this tour will open your mind (and fill your belly).

Note: Let us know about any food allergies before the tour starts.

    Men' Impossible

    Tucked away in a quiet alley in the Jordaan, Men Impossible is a one-of-a-kind ramen experience you won't find anywhere else. This fully plant-based Japanese restaurant redefines what ramen can be, serving up thick, creamy broths and handmade noodles with bold umami flavours. There’s no menu – the chef decides what you eat based on what’s fresh and seasonal, making each visit a surprise. The owner, Atsushi, brings both culinary skill and a big heart to the table. Expect a warm welcome, a casual atmosphere, and food that satisfies both body and soul. Men Impossible doesn’t just serve ramen – it challenges your idea of comfort food.

    Mr. Blou I Love You

    This tiny food stand near the Bloemenmarkt is easy to miss — but once you’ve tasted what comes out of it, you’ll never forget it. Mr. Blou I Love You is the passion project of chef Blou, who serves vibrant, organic, plant-based dishes straight from his street-side window. With just a few square meters and a lot of heart, he creates flavour-packed meals using seasonal vegetables, pulses and herbs. Think colourful falafel bowls, roasted veggies, and the kind of spicy sauces that make your taste buds dance. It’s fast, fresh, and made with real care. A true hidden gem that proves you don’t need a big space to make a big impact.

    Karma Kebab | Amsterdam

    Karma Kebab flips the script on late-night street food. What started as a festival favourite is now a full-blown movement — with a restaurant, bar, and event space in a former school building. Their signature dish? Kebab, but made from Dutch-grown celeriac instead of meat. Served in fresh flatbread with pickles, sauce, and loads of flavour, it’s comfort food with a conscience. The vibe is playful and rebellious, with a beer garden, ping pong tables, and space for parties and concerts. Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a night out, Karma Kebab delivers bold flavours and even bolder values.
