The best vegan BLT I’ve had! It was out of this world! I will be going back for sure! My husband also liked his Tonkatsu Bowl a lot too! Atmosphere is good, we were just there at a random time of day and the only people there.

First saw them on TV or something. A Jamaican guy and his Japanese wife open a vegan restaurant in Amsterdam? This was one of the first places I wanted to visit, and it did not disappoint!! It's small, it's a family affair, and it is an absolute gem! I'm just gonna post pics of their menu. Pictured is the Gyoza plate, and I got the Jamaican plate to go.

Hosts are great, very chill atmosphere, food was delicious (had a spicy- sweet “chicken” with rice and vegetables), and coconut milkshake. Servings are great, and I eat a lot. Only downside is that the place is really small (as most of the places in Amsterdam), but luckily we sat outside 😁

Terrazen Centre, within a 6min walk from the central station, might be my favourite restaurant of all time. Entering the small building, the colourful furniture and wall decorations as well as the rocksteady music vibes from the disco model JBL speaker already promise you a laidback and vibrant experience. The friendly staff fits the atmosphere well, meaning that you might have to wait a little longer to order or to get your drinks, but Terrazen is not meant to be experienced in a rush or impatient mood. The chalkboard or clipboard menu offers a wide range of exciting Japanese or Jamaican inspired dishes that are impossible to experience in one visit. The ramen I ordered here the first time is unmatched, I haven't found any other ramen in other establishments that was as flavourful as this one. Unfortunately it was always unavailable during my next few visits. Which on the other hand is a good thing, otherwise I would have never tried their dragon sushi roll, Jamaican plate, crispy roti roll or okonomiyaki. Piece by piece exquisite dishes that you have to come back for. One notably good side dish is the jackfruit karaage, which makes you yearn for more. Even though the food is high in greasy or fried ingredients, it is a journey of flavours and textures unlikely to find in other places. If you are looking for a sophisticated and luxurious dining experience with a quick and skilful service you should save that for another time and instead go for this low-key, but vibrant and inspiriting experience that is a guaranteed pleasure for your tastebuds.

A lovely small vegan restaurant with some delicious dishes. Staff was friendly and we got our food and drinks fast. We had the Jamaican Plate, the Ital Vital Plate, Cassava fries, Plantain Fries, 2x Mango Juice, Coconut Milkshake and a Ginger Beer for a total of €75. I found the portion sizes of the main courses to be pretty big! But in a good way, love a good full plate of soul food. Everything tasted delicious, the only thing i’d say is the plantain fries were pretty simple. But we had a great dinner.
