Vegan & Gluten-Free Lunch in Amsterdam Centre

Eating vegan or gluten-free in central Amsterdam shouldn't mean choosing between authenticity and dietary needs. Café Restaurant De Bazel — set inside a 1926 Art Deco monument at Vijzelstraat 30 — was built around classic Dutch and European cooking, but every menu now has clearly marked vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options that don't feel like an afterthought.

Vegan Options That Aren't Just a Salad

Our chef takes plant-based cooking seriously. Lunch options regularly include hearty bowls, lentil-based soups with coconut, vegetable-forward open sandwiches and seasonal salads with grains and roasted vegetables. Dinner includes vegan pasta and seasonal main courses. Ask for the day's vegan specials — they change with the season.

Gluten-Free Without Compromise

Several dishes are naturally gluten-free — including the steak tartare (without toast), the soups, salads and many of the dinner mains. For sandwiches and tosti's, we offer gluten-free bread on request. If you mention your dietary requirements when you reserve, the kitchen can prepare in advance and you won't have to ask twice on arrival.

Group Menus With Mixed Diets

For group bookings of 10 to 150 guests, we routinely build menus that mix vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and standard options. Tour operators, corporate teams and birthday groups: just share your dietary breakdown in the quote request, and we'll handle the rest.
