Amsterdam is a great city for healthy eaters. It is packed with salad bars, smoothie bars and vegetarian and vegan restaurants. If you are planning to explore the city, but you are afraid your healthy diet will be destroyed by deep fried Dutch goodies – there is nothing to worry!
Favorite lunch spots in Amsterdam
SLA
Ceintuurbaan 149, 1072 GB | Westerstraat 34, 1015 MK, Amsterdam | Claude Debussylaan 35, 1082 MC | Open from Monday to Sunday 8:00 – 21:00.
SLA is a healthy salad bar that offers a great variety of salads, juices, soups, and snacks. It is located at few different places across the city (see above). A bit overpriced, but you can definitely enjoy the food here. I like to make my own salad with all fresh ingredients that are available there. If I feel like having something small, I go for a homemade soup. Price: around 10 euro per salad.
Bagels and Beans
Location: all Bagels and Beans spots can be found here. Open daily from 8:30 to 17:30. Super healthy and yummy cafeteria that serves freshly baked various bagels with veggies, smoked salmon, goat cheese, strawberry jam. There is also a great choice of salads, smoothies, coffees, shakes, cakes and teas. Prices: bagels start from 4 euro, salads costs around 8 euro.
