Is Vegan Junk Food Bar worth the hype?
When I asked for recommendations for the best vegan spots in Amsterdam, the one place that absolutely everyone recommended was The Vegan Junk Food Bar.
On my 2nd night in Amsterdam, I decided to check it out to see if it lived up to its reputation. Let me tell you – I was not disappointed.
The vegan junk food bar is a burger joint that offers amazing vegan takes on classic comfort food. It has raving reviews of being the hotspot in Amsterdam as well as the best vegan burger.
The main favourites that you should look out for on the menu are –
NOTORIOUS SUMO BURGER
BLACK DADDY Mc CHICKEN BURGER
THE LOADED VJFB FRIES AKA ‘KAPSALON’
AMSTERDAM BITTERBALLEN
I visited the Staringplein (West) joint, which I recommend as there are plenty of large tables for groups as well as upstairs seating. The staff were very friendly and helped out when we couldn’t make a decision on what to order.
I went for the famous Daddy Mc Chicken Burger with sweet potato fries. The only thing I could fault on the burger that it was way too big – but that didn’t stop me from finishing it. I would agree with the reviews as it was the best vegan burger I have ever had and reminded me of the Mc Chicken burger from Mcdonalds which I haven’t had since going vegan of course.
The Vegan Junk Food bar exceed my expectations and I will definitely pay a visit the next time I’m in Amsterdam!
There are three locations with each location having its own delicious menu and atmosphere. It is definitely worth trying them all!
