One of my goals this year is to become vegan but it is extremely difficult with eating out, let’s be real the vegan options in most restaurants just aren’t that exciting, so on my trip to Amsterdam I discovered this gem of a restaurant called Vegan Junk Food Bar and I was rethinking how exciting being vegan can actually be.

The experience top to bottom was spectacular, the restaurant decor with a pink almost punk feel to it.

Now let’s get onto the food, I started with unicorn bread which is simply just blue bread with pink aioli, Aioli is just a combination of garlic sauce and olive oil. Quite a simple dish but no the less delicious.

For my main dish I got Kapsalon which is Fries topped with Shawarma, vegan grated cheese, jalapeño, carrot and garlic and vegan junk food bar sauce. May I just say the potion size for this dish was huge and was absolutely scrumptious with the vegan cheese being my favourite thing about it. The presentation is phenomenal; I inserted a photo above.

My boyfriend joined me on this adventure and he ordered the daddy mc chik’n which is also shown above. This colourful burger definitely won him over and made the hike to the place well worth it. Though the vegan chicken itself was quite bland it had the perfect texture and the vegetables and sauce perfectly complimented it.

The Vegan Junk Food Bar is well worth the visit, although it can be quite pricy it’s definitely a treat. The food feels more like art than food, it looked so beautiful I almost didn’t want to eat it. Although I couldn’t finish my meal I had to bring it home to enjoy later.
