Welcome to De Waaghals

Located in the heart of De Pijp, De Waaghals is one of Amsterdam’s longest-standing vegan fine dining restaurants, where vegetables have taken centre stage since 1981. For more than forty years, we have been proving just how refined, creative and flavourful plant-based cuisine can be. Since 2017, Eva & Martijn have proudly continued this tradition, honouring its rich history while bringing a fresh perspective to the future.

At De Waaghals, everything revolves around flavour, creativity and the changing seasons. We work with fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and are committed to sustainable practices throughout our kitchen. Under the guidance of chef Henrique, classic techniques meet modern influences to create refined dishes in which vegetables are the true stars.

We serve a surprise menu of 3 or 4 courses, carefully crafted around the finest seasonal ingredients. The menu is entirely plant-based, with the exception of our carefully selected cheese course. For larger groups, extended 5- and 6-course menus are also available.

To complete the experience, we offer a thoughtfully curated selection of organic, biodynamic and natural wines, perfectly paired with each course.

Whether you already enjoy a plant-based lifestyle, are curious about vegan gastronomy, or are simply looking for a memorable dining experience in Amsterdam, you’ll find that at De Waaghals, flavour always comes first.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
