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!

But it made me feel right at home in the best way. The veggies were well seasoned, the dressing was delicious and the tofu especially was heavenly, flavorful and textured to perfection with panko. Plus, their willingness to hold ingredients and replace them with others is super appreciated. The servers were helpful, careful in their prep, and super amenable to the changes I requested. I only dock a star for the ratios. Spinach and cucumber overwhelmed some of the more desirable fixings but it was still highly enjoyable.

The other gal there helping was friendly, helpful, and fun to talk with after we ate. Hoping to hit this spot again when we come back to town!

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!

The salad wasn't groundbreaking but it tasted fresh and was a great healthy meal after a day of perusing Amsterdam. The space was small, but the decor stylish and welcoming. There was also a small upstairs area where you could sit as well. If you're nearby and looking for some healthy grub, this definitely isn't a bad choice!

LOL Besides Pastries, Coffee, Teas and soft drinks, they offer both cold and warm meals and sandwiches. The day we were here, they had a fish dish, Scandinavian meatballs and a beef dish of some kind, served in a buffet cafeteria style.

Everything we had was cooked well and tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the drinks were nicely made. The restaurant is well-decorated with a cozy, modern feel. The only minor drawback is the restrooms--they're a bit tricky to access, but honestly that's pretty normal for Amsterdam's older buildings. All in all, I'd definitely return. Good food, great service, and a convenient location make Black & Blue a solid choice for dinner in the area.
