Noorderlicht - Amsterdam

The food is scrumptious and the location is lovely.

Lekker eten en fijne plek om te zitten. Wel een beetje druk soms.

Really cool vibe, such an awesome wee place! Git the 5 spice jackfruit steamed bun.. was first time trying jackfruit and it was amazing!!! 10/10

If Happy Cow were a bar review site, I'd rate Noorderlicht extremely high; the atmosphere, decor, staff friendliness, and live music are all great. I didn't eat here for a long time though, as there were no vegan options, but took the plunge recently as a few things have been introduced on the dinner menu sometime in the last six months. There's hummus and bread, great for a snack, and grilled polenta with roasted vegetables which I can highly recommended. That is everything for now, but if these prove popular, hopefully we might see some more options soon. (The bruschetta on the lunch menu could be made vegan depending on which ingredients are in the soup of the day). The main downside? It's a bit pricey, at 17 Euros for a main.

The restaurant is stunning, exuding Burning Man vibes with its use of reusable materials. The food is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly.
