The most Instagram-worthy restaurant in all of Amsterdam and yeah, the food is pretty and it's decent but it's not five stars. There can be a long wait standing in line outside the restaurant and that gets worse when some clown decides that now's a good time to light up. Clown. They will not seat incomplete parties and I completely get that. Yep, everything is avocados and we got the avocado fries to share and I chose the avocado florentine benedict which was good. Eggs poached perfectly, though the avocado was a little under ripe in my opinion. Service is good. Menus in English and other languages. Host spoke excellent English as did our waitress. Overall, a good meal and I am a fan. [Review 12099 overall, 1883 of 2019.]
Avocados, FTWWWW! My friends and I came here for lunch because, duh, avocados! An entire eatery with an avocado theme? Yes, please! I am still impressed by every food and drink item, using avocado in their creation. Think I'm wrong? They sell a cookbook here, proving so! There was an hour wait for lunch, so we put our name in 'til they texted us when a table was ready. Cool with us, since we just went to a bar nearby to drink. It only made lunch all the more better. We were starving by the time we came back. And I gotta say, The Avocado Show was worth the hour-wait. It's definitely a restaurant to try while in Amsterdam, at least, that's what your Instagram profile is telling you. I ordered the truffle treasure toast with avocado fries. Yep, sure did. It was exactly what I needed to after day-drinking. The truffle treasure toast had smashed avocado, chicken, parmesan cheese, radishes and truffle mayo. I love truffle and I love avocado, so you do the math. It was a winning combination on toast. The avocado fries were solid, with a light batter to coat the slices of avocado that literally make up the fry. It also came with more truffle mayo for dipping! We all enjoyed our lunch and were happy that the avocado was the main feature of everything we ordered. The place was super busy, with a line outside the door throughout our entire time there. And somehow the staff was able to seat as many people as possible, so don't expect privacy here, since the neighboring table will be able to hear your convo and vice versa. The Avocado Show is a fun place to eat in Amsterdam, with a theme based off of one of the most popular and trendy food items. What's not to love?
Ok, so I definitely came for the instagram (and I totally found this restaurant on instagram) like many others who were there on Saturday morning. I went first thing, a few minutes after opening, so I didn't have to wait in line. There were a few tables but it definitely filled up quickly. The interior is decked out with millenial pink and green. I was totally into it. When they handed me the menu, they were sure to tell me (and everyone else) that because it's morning hours (9am-12pm), they only had the breakfast menu available and they also only take card, no cash, which is not uncommon in Amsterdam. I ordered The French Florentine, which was sauteed spinach, flowers, homemade Hollandaise sauce, avocado, watercress and two poached eggs. I was a little disappointed when it came out lukewarm, like barely warm. I felt like the eggs at least should have been warmer. The toasted English muffin tasted like it came out of a cardboard box. Even if it did, I feel like they could have used not old bread or something so it didn't taste like box. I also tried the Guaca Mary (vodka, tequila, guacamole, avocado oil, lime juice, sugar syrup, salt and pepper), which wasn't my favorite (I wouldn't get it again) but that may only be due to taste. Last, I ordered a white tea which the waiter kindly asked if I wanted first before the food and the drink. I was curious about other menu items but I'm not sure if I'd come back because I was underwhelmed about the eggs. But they were beautiful. And so instagrammable.
I was really looking forward to this place as I added it to my todo list while in town. My friend and I had planned to eat here between going to the musuems near by. We came on a Sunday around 11am and there was a little crowd. I walked in thinking we put our name on the list but a gentleman quickly told us to wait outside and he'd be with us. About 5 min later he came over to put our name down. And took my cell number to notify us when the table was ready. He said 20 min so we stick around. It ended up being about 35min which was ok. When we sat down we we're quickly given a menu. And we ordered right away. I was super excited to try this place out. I love avocados and especially good food presentation. I was disappointed when my good came. It looked less vibrant than what I saw online. It said it came with flowers but more like one flower. I wanted the full immersed experience especially with the edible flowers. The flavors we're ok too, I rarely say food is bland but I felt it was. We left still hungry so we ate something small else after. I say try it out, it's a cool concept but the food execution could use some work. **Ask for extra flowers! Hopefully they will accept the request.
We went to the Avocado Show for lunch in a Tuesday. We arrived shortly after noon and were greeted outside by the staff taking names and numbers of everyone who waiting for a table. They have a great system that sends a text to alert you when you're table is almost ready, giving you the freedom to not mull about waiting outside. To our delight we were called much sooner than estimated, which was great because we were hungry. The interior is small and quaint and the service was prompt. We ordered the avo salmon poké bowl, the truffle treasure toast and the nachos. The poké bowl and truffle toast were great! The poké bowl was a bit on the small size but delish and the toast was yummy! Both when served look like a piece of art. The nachos... I wouldn't consider myself a nacho snob but they weren't made with any sort of love. The guacamole on the nachos didn't taste fresh and tasted like is had a filler (maybe sour cream?), it had a mediocre amount of liquid cheese, jarred salsa and a handful of kidney beans. Overall the flavor was ok - reminding me of movie theater nachos. The nachos bring the review down to 3 stars.
04/17 - I'm 4 months late on my review, but I came here the first month it was open back in April. I saw that it was opened in time for my trip to Amsterdam. I was really excited to try it, but in all, it was more of a 3.5 stars experience, but I'll round it up to 4 stars. First, the wait was about 45 minutes but I expected it since it was just opened and people would walk by and get intrigued. Once we got seated, I got the avocado burger which came with sausage, prosciutto and the buns were avocados. I think it could have been an open-faced burger because the top avocado portion wasn't equal to the filling and you're eating more avocado than anything else. It came with a side of salsa and nachos, but no guacamole? It would have been perfect if it came with guacamole. This is an avocado restaurant, after all. The avocado garden was cute and my husband loved it, it came with crackers and the avocados were topped with herbs and spices. I got the nachos for my kids and the amount of guacamole was depressing, not much at all and it didn't seem to have the avocado effect we were expecting. It came to be a rather expensive meal for what you get and not much avocados. It was a nice concept and I'm glad we tried it but I wasn't as impressed as I expected it to be.
The Avocado Show makes for a great Instagram photo, but does it actually make for a good meal? We didn't waste much time trying to find the answer! First-ever time in Amsterdam, the entire group was unanimous on where we wanted to go for our first meal. Entire group had their orders, but my friend and I chose what appeared to be two of the most popular offerings: The Bun Burger and The Poké Bowl. The Bun Burger stood out more to me because it was so unique to look at it with it's two avocado "buns" and the Dutch raw beef sausage in between. An odd combo, but it was actually pretty delicious. The Poké Bowl wins on presentation, but I feel like I could've gotten better if I was ordering a poke bowl at home. I can imagine poke bowls aren't too available in Amsterdam though, so for them having this option is a big deal. I imagine that this particular establishment draws more than the usual amount of tourists, so it was good that everyone in the restaurant could speak English. Was odd for them to be card only, but I could only wish for something like this back in the U.S. instead of places being cash only. Wait wasn't too bad, but we did come at a super weird time of 2 pm on a Wednesday. Definitely worth stopping by to try and get our IG photos in. Not sure if it's a necessity to come back the next time I'm in Amsterdam.
Truly an experience. This is a spot for all of you Food Instagramers. There is always at least a 20 min wait. I love it that they provide water while you wait because it gets hot outside. The hostess is hilarious. She definitely keeps it real. My name on the list was "American Diana" haha After the wait, we were able to order. I ordered the poke bowl while my friend had the super bowl salad. The presentation was beautiful & we both enjoyed our meals. We were so full but decided to order dessert. I tried the avocado ice cream, which I totes recommend. While my friend had the blind date, truly unique dessert. If you go before 12 pm, order their eggs Benedict. It looked amazing! Service was great considering how busy they were. I'm an easy girl to please. I just need food. Tip: water is 3 euros!! So you might as well order something else. My only regret is not taking a picture of their cute bicycle in the front. Also, they only take cards. & no Amex!
If you love avocados, this is the place for you! Came here during a trip to Europe and was blown away by the extravagant combinations and dishes. This is definitely NOT just an avocado toast place! From avocado pancakes to fries, there is nothing usual about this place. Luckily we got to the restaurant on a weekday right as it opened so they were able to immediately seat us! Just be smart about what time you go or expect a long line and a wait!
Saw this on Buzzfeed while scrolling Facebook in the US. Had to stop here while in Amsterdam. This place does not disappoint! The menu was concise but I was happy because what they do, they do well. The prices are a little higher than what I thought but you're paying for an experience. The service was a little slow but this place had a long wait and I went at like 2pm on a Thursday. The lack of 5 stars was the fact that the service was lacking. I had my order taken, food brought and then I had to hour the sever for my check.
I had to check out The Avocado Show during my time here in Amsterdam. It didn't disappoint! My brother, dad, and I came here for breakfast on a Wednesday in September around 10AM and we were seated immediately. It was fairly busy in there while we ate but there were still tables open. I ordered The Heart Beet Rose Toast (€10) while my dad has The Mango Curry Tango Toast (€10). Both were absolutely beautiful! Both toasts were served a large slice of bread with a generous layer of hummus an avocado rose on top. Very substantial and filling. My brother enjoyed the Vegan Paradise poke bowl (€15.50). It was a spectacle to look at! The bowl featured rice, mango mayonnaise, seaweed salad, mango chunks, edamame, cucumber, & was surrounded by avocado slices. Our server gave him soy sauce to enjoy it with. It was very fresh tasting but sadly not very filling nor substantial. Too bad since it was €5 more than our massive toasts. We all had a great experience here though! I would definitely give it a try if you're an avocado fiend like me.
As the name of the place suggests, this place goes HAM on avocado. Pancakes?! Let's put some avocado on it! Poke bowl? Lets surround it with a ring of avocado slices! Avocado here, there, everywhere! Came here for brunch. It felt a little gimmicky basing a whole restaurant concept around the avocado, a beloved food of the basic man and woman. I like guacamole, but do I really need it on my pancakes or in my bloody mary? The answer was not really. Not that the food wasn't tasty - it was - but just throwing a bunch of avocado on things felt unnecessary. I could have done for less avocado and more emphasis on using it more effectively.
Precovid trip to Amsterdam. - The avocado show restaurant is a must. Now being quarantined and making my own avocado creations, I dream about this place. If you love all things avocado, you will enjoy this restaurant to the fullest. We went when it was pretty busy but they were able to seat us and take our orders within a few minutes. The service was very friendly in explaining the creations of this restaurant. We started with some lattes and fresh juice. In our entrees we got mango avocado toast that had a hint of curry flavoring it. It all sounds weird mixed together but it somehow mashed and tasted really good. Sam M got poached eggs with avocado and Hollandaise sauce. It's a Instagram worthy place so take your photo with one of the avocado creations and enjoy eating it too, because not only does it look good/ it tastes spectacular as well. Side Note- They sell some really good avocado based items too, like T-shirt's / cups etc. read more
Stopped in here for lunch and really love the concept. Plenty of gluten free options and vegan/vegetarian. You might turn into an avocado. The staff was very friendly. They only accept credit cards FYI. I want a place like this at home. read more

This restaurant was one of the top recommendations my friends and I had received when planning our trip to Amsterdam! We were told that the wait would be long, but that the food would be totally worth it. We went on a Sunday early afternoon-the perfect time for brunch, and had to wait about 45 minutes before we were seated. Luckily, The Avocado show is in a cool neighborhood so we were able to stroll around for a little bit before we got a text telling us to come back because our table would be ready soon. The inside of the restaurant is small, but super cute. They have cool wallpaper and of course everything is decorated with avocados. Their menu is very interesting and each dish incorporates avocado. Of course there's avo toast and guacamole, but there are also some interesting options that include avocado that I'm not sure how they make it work. As a table we ordered a starter of fried avocado that was absolutely delicious and came with a dipping sauce that was to die for. My friends and I all ordered differently and were each very satisfied with our meals (I got the mango curry avocado toast). Overall, the restaurant is an awesome brunch stop, but a little bit overrated. The food is very aesthetically pleasing, but it wasn't the best meal I've ever had. read more

Tip: Go directly in the morning, then there isn't a wait - we were there at 9:30 and could easily get a table for two. Starting at 10 it started to fill up. I would not come back, very overhyped restaurant. I had pancakes, which were cold when served. My friends bowl with coconut yoghurt was quite boring, nothing out of this world. In general, very average for the high price that is paid. read more
There was a long line and we sat outside for awhile, the wait was not worth it. My friends and I ordered a variety of things, I love avocados and everything but to be honest it wasn't that good. But I have to tell you, that the presentation was beautiful and the service was ok. I think it was kinda over priced for what it was. At the end my friend got a allergic reaction from the edibles flowers , not the restaurant fault but it added on the the experience. Presentation - 4/5 Experience - 1/5 Service - 3/5 read more

If you're a fan of avocados and trendy foods, this is the spot for you. The Avocado Show has unique renditions on a bunch of different traditional brunch/lunch options and stars avocados as their main ingredient. From avocado flowers to avocado bowls to avocado buns, this place really thinks outside the box with their presentation. It was social-media friendly and the service was excellent! Unfortunately, it stops there; the quality of the food was poor and the tastes were lackluster. If you're used to the buttery ripe avocados usually served at places like this, chances are you'll be disappointed. We weren't expecting too much (those kinds of avocados are hard to come by in Europe), but what really cut the review down for me was a specific half of my avocado; it was unripe, discolored, and very tasteless. Though it was too much food for me to finish anyways, it unfortunately tainted the quality of the rest of the meal for me. It was also disappointing to see how the waitstaff handled it when I brought it to their attention; they were dismissive and didn't seem to care too much. Overall, I'd be open to coming again in a few years if they can get their act together. Otherwise, I'd only recommend this for the social media foodies - just be warned, the menu sounds great, but it's not the most tasty option around. read more

I am a big avocado lover so this place was everything I hoped it to be and more. Be prepared for a long wait. Don't go here if you are in a rush. Once you get inside you will understand it was worth the wait. What I had: The Wagyu Bun Burger and the Guaca Mary Cocktail. The burger was made with a sauce I didn't expect because it was hidden in the avocado bun. It was Unami for me. It came with "nachos" but I would have preferred fries. You can't really eat it like a burger it was definitely a fork and knife dish. I like my burger medium and it was perfectly cooked. Now the cocktail was not what I expected. It was delicious and dangerous because it was one of those cocktails you wanted to drink like a soda but it hits you like a shot. I never had a cocktail with avocado before and it was worth the "I am not sure because it doesn't sound right" gamble. This place is definitely an Instagram person's gem. The food presentation is beautiful and the decor is fun. The staff are friendly and energetic. read more

# Breakfast in Amsterdam If you can get by the bouncer at the front door & be seated within an hour you'll be pleasantly surprised how the lengthy wait is erased from your memory after the food arrives. Everything is fresh, and of course there's plenty of avocado to go around. At the end of the brunch, it is a pleasant surrounding with good food and you can say you've been to the avocado show in Amsterdam --stunning? Maybe, but something to write home about. There's a lot of boutique breakfast shops including one of my favorites called Vinny's which is close to the Centraal train station that is also worthwhile investigating. read more

Let's face it, you probably just came here for the "instagramable" food. I ordered the avocado toast with hummus and it while it was beautifully presented, I would prefer to eat my simple homemade avocado toast. The prices weren't horrible considering the presentation of the food. A group of 3 friends and I came around 10 on a Saturday and there was a decent wait. Not unbelievable for such a trendy new restaurant, but after waiting 30 minutes we were all surprised that people who arrived after us were getting seated before us! When we addressed the hostess about this she acted like she could have cared less. Overall, if you're a huge avocado fan and just have to have the photo worthy toast it's worth it, but get ready to wait! read more
This place was super fun! I actually first heard about it on Facebook, and since I travelled all the way to Amsterdam I decided to stop by and try it while I was there! It's in my favorite neighborhood of "the pipe" in Amsterdam. Even though it was super busy, my friends and I were seated promptly. Obviously, we each ordered something avocado-oriented. I had the avocado rose toast, my boyfriend had the avocado bun burger, and my other friend had the avocado chicken sandwich. Each one was AMAZING! I think what really knocks it all out of the park is the presentation. It almost looks to beautiful to eat! I loved the inclusion of fresh edible flowers to add color to the plate. They were super accommodating and spoke English which was very helpful! Definitely check this place out if you visit Amsterdam read more
Not gonna lie, the food presentation is great. But does it taste good? Not really but maybe I'm biased because I'm from California. It's a really unique concept and an interesting place to visit but I can't say I'll be back. Please don't get the nachos.... they were seriously meh. read more

Only come here if you love avocados and instagramable food pictures. Otherwise I would say the food was mediocre. I love avocados and taking pictures of food so we ended up waiting an hour for this place. I was struggling to figure out how many stars this place should get since the food is between 3 and 3.5 but the great customer service and food presentation helped push this to 4 stars. You can leave your number with the hostess and they will let you know when to come back. There's a coffee shop around the corner to hang out or you can check out Albert Cyprus market that's a couple blocks away. All the staff were really nice and accommodating with our baby and stroller. They got us a table where we can have a stroller next to us and made a pretty avocado dish for our baby. read more

We got there almost an hour and a half before close. The hostess told us the wait would be 45 minutes and then after we'd been waiting 50 minutes she told us that we wouldn't be able to eat because the kitchen closed at 4:30 (30 min before closing). We were very bummed/annoyed that she didn't tell us this before we waited the entire time, only to not be able to eat. Can't say if the food is good, but the service wasn't great. They weren't willing to fit us in at all. Such a shame when we had heard great things and spent so much time on our one day in Amsterdam trying to eat here. read more
Very average food with a five star IG vibe. This place literally is for the gram. The wall, the sign, the cute little cactus on the table and the beautiful plating! Three stars though because the food is just average but the prices are high. I had the truffle and chicken avocado toast and it was missing flavor. The chicken was tender and the mayo had fine truffle but it needed salt and some acid for sure.. he had the poke bowl essentially which was much better given the mix of ingredients and saltiness from the soy. read more

Nice to have but not a must. The concept itself is good and very different but after eating the food, I guess it can be better. We chose the Bun Burger and the Poke bowl. For some reason, the meat for the Bun is raw and I don't know exactly why but the overall experience about this one is not so tasty. The Poke bowl, how ever, was tasty, different and has a mixture of tastes. About the size of the dishes - a bit small and not worth the value so much... To sum it up - if you are an Avocado lover, you should go and try it by yourself, maybe you'll like it more than me. read more
Only went for desert. They don't accept reservations but you sign up for the wait list upon arrival if no seating is available and they will message you when your table is ready. We had the ice cream and the avo Oreo cheesecake. The ice cream was good but nothing too memorable. The cheesecake was light and delicious. The prices are a little high but I would consider trying again in the future. read more

This place is amazing. The food is amazing and comes out quickly. The host (a guy with salt and paper hair) was absolutely AMAZING!! He was super friendly, welcoming, and funny!! The food is a little pricey but as we all know avocados are not cheap!! The Moscow Mule was good with fresh ginger but could use a little more liquor. It's a small restaurant so be prepared to wait if needed.. definitely worth the experience. read more
This place is overhyped. I really wanted to come here because obviously Instagram so I should've known hahaha. I got the avocado poke bowl. Disappointing. So much edamame, rice, and seaweed yet so little fish, and absolutely no flavor. The avocado wasn't even fresh it was hard. Waste of money. Then I got the avocado ice cream cuz everyone else was getting it..... absolutely disgusting. Do not recommend. It tastes nothing like avocado and has no sugar. And the cone tastes like cardboard. And you have to get two because it's only served in pairs. Stupid. Seriously do not waste your time here. I'm only giving one star for good service and one star for cute pics. But honestly I should give 1 Star rating. read more

O M G!!! This place was on top of my Must Do list for my trip to Amsterdam! I'm obsessed with anything made out of avocado, so how could I not go there? We got there at quarter to five not realizing that they actually close at five. The friendly staff (a cool gal with short hair and a bunch of cool tattoos) still got us in! Yay!!!! We ordered and about 5 minutes later we were served AVOCADO HEAVEN! Everything looked so beautiful we didn't even want to start eating. I took pictures, snapped and did an insta story to make sure everyone would see what I was about to eat. And the jealousy was real, let me tell you! I ate the Avo Garden and it probably was the most beautiful thing I've ever eaten! And on top of the beauty of my dish, it also tasted glorious!!!! I am most definitely coming back here! Such a cool place! read more

Was skeptical about this place and thought the hype was all due to social media... I was wrong- the food here is great!! Even if you don't love avocados there are a few things on the menu you will be able to find. Nice latte macchiatos and the avocado smoothie was excellent! I got the green salad for lunch and it was such a refreshing dish! Great greens, little edible flowers, and chunks of avocado. A perfect, healthy salad that is pretty simple for you fellow picky eaters out there! Only downfall is there's no AC and it was hot in there when crowded. Highly recommend this place if you want a healthier option outside of the touristy areas! read more

As soon as I read there was an avocado restaurant in Amsterdam, I didn't doubt on going. I was never that excited for breakfast... but oh my god, such a disappointment. I ordered de avotoast with chicken breast and truffle mayo, I PROMISE I WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER AVOTOAST AT MY PLACE! So long for the wait and not worth it; three stars for decoration, service and the smoothie read more
