The staff was charismatic and genuinely helpful with the menu, taking time to explain dishes and give recommendations without ever rushing me. I ordered the black charcoal ravioli, which was rich and unique, and also tried the beet ravioli. I loved their creative take on raviolis. They were colorful, fresh, and full of flavor. The presentation matched the taste, and both plates felt thoughtful rather than gimmicky. It's the kind of place where you can relax into the atmosphere and enjoy food that's both beautiful and satisfying. Perfect for a slow meal with friends or a solo stop when you want something a little different.

Oh my god. YUM. My friend and I were looking for a dinner spot and she was vegan - I stumbled…read moreacross Hearth and immediately made reservations. This delicious spot is off the beaten path of the more touristy spots in Amsterdam, located on a quiet side street. We absolutely loved our meal - with clear influences from french, asian flavors, and italian. We started with a delicious amuse bouche by the chef, followed by the "pate" and fresh bread. It was earthy and good; a solid start. Our main dishes were truly a treat! We split one of the gnocchi options - the tomato sauce was delectable; I truly could have licked the bowl - and the black mushroom ravioli - so much delicious umami flavor! We ended with the peanut butter brownie and, let me just say, I am UPSET that we decided to split one instead of ordering our own! The service was a delight - they were so kind, clearly wanting us to enjoy the experience!

This one seemed less busy compared to the others. We ordered the sumo burger, chickn burger, onion rings and truffle fries. They were out of the pink aioli so I opted for the garlic sauce. It's a bright space that makes eating vegan food fun and easy! The only downfall was that it took a long time for us to get our food, almost 40 mins, and the restaurant wasn't even at max capacity. Something about their system messing up and there were a bunch of deliverers coming to pick up food. Pretty much everyone was waiting. They should definitely give priority to guests dining in. The worker didn't apologize for the long wait. Good thing we didn't come too hungry... Bedsides the wait, the food was tasty. My chickn burger was crunchy and a great alternative to meat. I'd come back when I'm in Amsterdam. Wish there was a spot like this in the states.

When you come in you get a clipboard with an order form and the menu. You have to fill out the form with what you want and give it to the cook. When your drinks are ready they call your name to pick them up. Luckily when the food is ready they just bring it to your table rather than make you balance a tray full of food in a crowded restaurant. I was irritated by this change of standard restaurant procedure, but the quality and flavor of the food made up for the inconvenience. I was also annoyed that they have the option of vegan or regular waffles but when I ordered regular ones they said they were out of batter so they'd make vegan ones instead. They were open for 3 more hours, I don't know why they wouldn't just make more batter. Why give the option if it's not really an option? It's like that saying, "we have both kinds of music, country and western". Only this time it's vegan food. But they were right, the vegan waffles were good. I was disappointed by the lack of syrup, but we asked and got a shot glass full of syrup! Real maple syrup! Not that boiled sugar crap they have in most places. This grudgingly won me over. My husband's eggs were also weird, served in a bacon shell, but good. And the bread was tasty and toasted to a nice hard crunch. My fresh squeezed orange/pineapple/something else drink was a tasty mix of citrus flavors. My husband liked his cappuccino. There was nothing bad here. Even though the limited menu doesn't represent my idea of "brunch", I think we'll come back again.

Fast forward a few years and now I'm delighted to accompany them to vegan restaurants such as Meatless District in Amsterdam, NL. The food was exquisite as was the service. I'm now obsessed with watermelon sashimi. I prefer this vegan bitterballen to the traditional because I didn't like the texture of the meat inside. I feel the dutch really like pureed meat. The mushroom bitterballen was so delicious as was everything else. The braised artichoke was just ok. Nothing to write home about but nothing wrong with it. It's just that everything else was so unique including the desserts. Lovely ambiance in the restaurant. I give my experience a 4 overall for the artichoke and I must mention the bathroom. This is more of a Dutch thing than anything else. Gender neutral bathrooms are cool. We Americans don't see that a lot. The problem is the individual stall was up a flight of stairs and so small that I couldn't even sit on the toilet and then there was nothing to pull myself up to get out the position I had gotten myself into. It was awkward. This stall needs a bar or something to help those of us who are not as able as we used to be. I'd go eat here again to try more of their dishes.

Staff don't bother to find tables for you; they let customers figure things out among themselves. Alright. We eventually grabbed a table after 5-10 minutes, then had our order taken 10 minutes later. The food took a long time to come out: about 40 minutes (other than 1 appy that came out after 20). Good thing it was tasty. We got: -plantain fries (€6) -- tasty, especially with the sweet dipping sauce, but you get about 8 fries, so not great value. -okonomiyaki (€12.90) -- this was wonderful. So many lovely textures, flavours, and seasoned beautifully. This was the highlight of the meal for me. -vegan plate (€18.90) -- really nicely designed plate, with a base of brown rice, with a sort of Japanese slaw, vegan chicken katsu, tempura (apparently, though I didn't notice it), and stir fried veggies. Super tasty stuff. Not the biggest portion, but not bad either. My friends each got the crispy roti wrap (€14.90), which they loved, and the taste I had was great. Overall, great food, not the best dining experience. Perhaps my experience wasn't representative. I'd go back for the okonomiyaki alone.
