I found this place walking from the Hermitage Amsterdam museum to the Rijks Museum and was…read moreecstatic. I was starving, needed to get out of the rain and desperate to not have just more pub food or unhealthy, unoriginal, generic food. Lavinia is a charming cafe, the food is fresh, healthy, and perfect for people with special food preferences. I am not a vegetarian but after a week on holiday, I needed something not meat and potato-based and I have the most lovely teriyaki vegetarian bowl with a bowl of coconut curry soup. A lovely cappuccino to warm me up and I couldn't have been happier. When I went to check out I noticed the amazing cakes and breads at the glass cafe display and asked if by chance anything is gluten-free, as I'm gluten-intolerant and I had noticed gluten-free bread on the menu as an option. BINGO, not only did they have gluten-free options, but I had the most amazing orange, ginger cake of my life! I messed up on paying with my card, as I had no cash on me and had just flown in from Switzerland, so no Euros on me, and I forgot to include a tip. I told the girl to ring me up again and she kindly told me it didn't matter and waved me on. I felt horrible as the service had been great. This review is the best I can do to repay her, as I tried to get back later with cash after visiting an ATM, but they had closed at 4pm. Alas, hopefully some kind soul will pay this girl the 3 Euros I should have. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, go here. If you're not and just want a good meal that isn't meat and potatoes, go here. The coffee and cakes are great too, if you just want a cute, kitschy place to stop and rest your wary feet. I loved this place and was so happy to have found it!

What's more, he sent me home with a homemade vinnies granola bar, on the house! Finally, the ambiance here is so charming. I can't say enough good things about vinnies.

I would've gone there more than once if my time in Amsterdam wasn't that short. The staff are really nice and attentive with recommendations. I'm really glad I had friends with me because it was really busy and noisy, and standing in line for 20-25 minutes would've been not as bearable. But the wait was totally worth it. The pistachio paste in the cruffin was AMAZING. Could eat a whole jar of that by itself. I wasn't keen on the French toast because of the tart citrus cream but the blueberries were BIG.

We waited in line for roughly 30 min and got into the small storefront. There were a couple of selections but their most popular/viral pastries are the cruffins (croissant muffins). Unfortunately wasn't able to eat everything on the spot and had to save it for the next morning so the croissant wasn't as flakey and crunchy as it could have been. - Pistachio Cruffin, 4/5: sweet nutty and creamy pistachio filling - Passionfruit Cruffin, 4.5/5: flavor was more up my alley, more tangy and cuts through the sweetness - Hot chocolate, 4/5: not pictured, but more bitter using dark chocolate and it was rich.

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.

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!

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.
