    A view from the SLA
    Elise N.

    Totally fell in love with SLA. Loved the food, the combination of flavors, the flavored water, and the design. I would have loved to be able to buy the seeds of the plants they display inside. The staff is helpful and the salads were fresh, copious, and tasty. I didn't have any special juice but always picked the 1st sauce available on the menu. I would love to have a SLA in Zurich!

    The choices for combining your own fresh salad are almost overwhelming. We had an interesting juice with that. However, given the eco friendly feeling of this place, I do not understand the hefty portions. Almost two salads in one and I felt a bit guilty for not being able to finish it all. Fairly expensive as well.

    I got this really tasty salad called Roasted Winter Veggies with rocket, beluga lentils, celeriac, parsnips, sweet potato, butternut squash, hummus and almond shavings.. I added chicken and black truffle dressing ok top.. Yummi! SLA is a cozy place to eat if you want something light and easy.. The atmosphere is great and you get the feeling that you are sitting in a garden while you eat a fresh salad.. Also they serve water for free.. If you are in Amsterdam you definitely have to try this place!

    Being the first legit salad bar in Amsterdam, SLA has attracted some serious attention. It seems lately like every food blog is mentioning this new hot spot. So, I was rather surprised to see that yelp hadn't jumped the SLA hype wagon yet. To the rescue I come... Apparently salad bars have been quite the rave in such cities as NY and London, but with the arrival of SLA you can just hop to the Ceintuurbaan and grab a salad to go or have a healthy lunch or dinner upstairs at the well-lit & contemporary indoors patio or the terrace outside. Admittedly, while I do like my greens I often miss my proteins when eating a salad. SLA's salads are however surprisingly satisfying. How so? Well, first you select your leafs. You can select from e.g. spinach, paksoi and rocket leaves (I went for chard) Some little gem leaves are added to that as a filler. Next, you pick your source of grains, seeds, legumes (couscous, bulgur, quinoa, lentils). Lima beans was it for me. This step is what makes the salads substantial, I reckon. Then you get to choose 3 vegetables. The roasted pumpkin , cauliflower and wild carrot made it to my bowl. Finally, you select what dressing you would like to go with your salad. Now, here is where I screwed up. After having discovered people don't like being photographed with big ass cameras, I felt kind of awkward. This threw me off a little, so I made a rushed decision picking the lemon, avocado & wasabi dressing. Not very smart. The garlic, mint & ras el hanout dressing or the ginger, rice vinegar & sesame oil dressing would've probably been a much better choice. Luckily, I ordered the salad to go and disaster was averted by just omitting the dressing and just adding some argan oil & lemon juice at home. In the end, I was quite chuffed with the end result! The basic salad costs only €6, a fair deal I think. Carnivores can upgrade by adding chicken, bacon, a cooked egg or smoked salmon. Vegetarians can choose from meat substitutes (€2 extra for each). Nuts or cheese toppings are €1 each. I only have one remark: some grilled tuna, roast beef or duck slices would be a nice addition to the premium menu. They also have a fair selection of fresh juices, so health freaks can lunch here at their heart's content. No cash by the way, only pin !

    Do not miss the scoop of sweet potato and lemon hummus for 1€ - tasty and filling.

    LOVED the food, the concept, the decor and the staff. I am so sad we do not have SLA in Copenhagen, Denmark.

    Custom vegan salad :) highlights include mung beans, red lentils, pumpkin, mushrooms, cauliflower, kimchi, and pumpkin seeds.

    Oh my goodness...first of all, this place is beautiful. Seating is overlooking the back garden and it is just calm, clean, and wonderful inside. The veggie/grain/topping selections are awesome:) Lots of vegan options including soup, salad, and dessert :) Even vegan cheesecake...!! Needless to say I ordered like a full day's worth of food and it was all worth it.

    Own created salad with the vegan Pad Thai!

    Good food and a kot of choices. We had a great lunch with big bowls of salad. It's just a little bit more expensive than an ordinarily sandwich, but it's worth it.

    See all

It is a salad with of course lentils, but also goats cheese and nuts and it tastes delicious! I thought all the salads on the menu looked really good so I really want to come back soon. You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!
