Hi people,
if you are vegetarian or vegan, you like healthy food and simple and cozy alternative places, then you would like eating at “De Vliegende Schotel”, which in english means “The Flying Dish” .
The restaurant is run by nice people which try to use just organic food in a lot of different recipes from all over the world. The meal is really tasty, the portions are good, prices are ok. They use a lot of sprouts beans because they have more nutritional.
It’s a very nice place, especially if you don’t like fancy restaurants..
The kitchen is open everyday from 4 p.m. to 10.45 p.m. and the restaurant close 11.30 p.m.
The address is Nieuwe Leliestraat 162-168 the phone number is 020 6252041.

Tired of spending lots of money in junk food? Are you fed up with kebabs or vlaamse frites? Do you want to socialize with nice people?
So, all you need is a VoKu.
VoKu stands for Volks Küche, a German expression that means ‘People’s Kitchen’. A VoKu is a place where you can have healty vegetarian (or sometimes even vegan) meal for a little damage, and a good occasion to meet interesting Amsterdammers. Many squats and social centers across the city organize weekly VoKus. Here’s a partial list.
Binnenpret – every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
Joe’s Garage – every Monday and Thursday
Molly – every Thursday
De Peper at OT301 – every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday
Remember that the Dutch eat early and generally the vokus start at 7 pm. Don’t be late and remember to reserve your dinner in time, calling the phone numbers
you’ll find on each website.
Eet smakelijk!
