Absolutely loved our lunch here! It's a little walk away from the ferry dock at Amsterdam North but a nice walk through a pleasant neighbourhood. I'd definitely visit again and would like to explore the area further. I had the mushroom and bean stew with...sourdough- delicious. Others had the smoked corn soup and pumpkin cream on toast - also amazing!More

This is an extraordinary place. On the water. Completely self sustainable. Excellent vegan food. Real fire. Lovely staff and a secret garden with artists studios. Amazing.

We went to this spot for a luncheon in the sun on the terrace. The spot is unique and the staff very friendly. While all food is vegatarian, it is so tasty that you do not miss any meat or fish. The interior is also...vintage and found furniture.More

It was horrible the people were so unfriendly, the food and drinks were not better. Me and 3 other friends just wanted to pay and as we said we want to pay they got us our drinks. The staff told us even though we said...we want to pay separate, to pay together and make something up and pay together.More

A nice place is hidden in the North sector of Amsterdam. No tourists but a lot of expats having here a moment of relaxation. It is worth coming over to this place located in a former shipyard. Food is honest and prices are affordable. The...project of the green and sustainable kitchen is attractive. Service is nice and helpful with a smile. Well done!More

I came to celebrate my birthday at Cafe de Ceuvel after a friend suggested the place. The staff was really friendly and welcoming and the choice of beers is lovely! Definitely worth it in the winter, must be even more fun in the summer!

Café de Ceuvel is a restaurant on a mission: the menu carefully articulates there is a wider vision to deliver an eco-friendly and low environmental impact. There is a rough and ready feel; a reflection on the increasing trend towards sustainability and authenticity at the...expense perhaps of comfort and, perhaps, the basic proposition. So with very high praise and reviews, we came here for lunch. Both the inside and outside decor give the feeling of an American style summer camp assembled by a shipwrecked crew with nothing to make shelter with other than washes ashore in the island with its mismatched tables and seating, home-made decorations and deliberately contrasting use of panel colour. If a small group of dreadlocked hippies revealed themselves slouched onto patchwork beanbags wielding archaic musical instruments and lamenting the tax dodging, well-heeled patriarchy: I would have asked them where I could purchase the nearest fair trade, organically grown cold brew. So we find ourselves at a school desk ordering from a concise lunch menu during a semi busy Saturday service. Oh, and it’s vegan bang on trend with most restaurants I went to in two weeks of grazing around Amsterdam. To be clear, there’s some excellent vegan food out there but... Much like the decor, the food was a bit cobbled together and didn’t make much sense. Our oyster mushroom croquette with mustard greens over sourdough (it’s an open face sandwich) was less croquette and more suppli sized mushroom flavoured dough with a crust. It is a ‘croquette’ in the style of the local Dutch bitternballen which would work if it was the same size - the texture would make the dish better but still not take it over the line. The open face sandwich proposition is pointless. This dish would be better conceptualised as a starter oyster mushroom bittenballen with a dip. The cheesy padron pepper toastie is gooey and cheesy but doesn’t rise above the level of a home comfort sandwich regardless of the padron peppers. Vegan food is a hard sell for many people and there are restaurants fighting to change paradigms and perceptions about vegan food making it exciting, winning hearts and minds. This is not that place. There’s a lot here with a good location and the shabby chic is on trend but the core proposition of paying for food for enjoyment collapses.More

Amazing location tucked away behind the industrial area of Noord. Really friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Plenty of seating outdoors and some inside. You can swim (or the kids can) and still use the outdoor space for drink and food. It’s a nice spot to...go to for a cold beers and some borrel.More

I had a little time to spare and this place looked intriguing on a sunny morning. It's a 25-30 walk from the ADAM viewpoint, although you can get there by bus. It's quirky in an endearing. ethical way with a very quite, pastoral ambience. It...was, and felt, a world away from the bustle of Dam Square. A great deal of seating is outside. Great on a sunny day. I'd have loved to stay longer, as the service was very good and people were relaxed and friendly. I thought the prices were reasonable, too. A nice change from the hurly-burly of the city.More

Very hipster and Berlin like venue by the water. Colorful and nice scenery. The food however is absolutely overpriced and is of very poor taste and quality. The drinks are way too expensive (some home made Sirup with water is about 4€ and regular bottle...of beer 5€). The service is probably the worst about de ceuvel. First and last visit.More

Ai, I think you caught us on a bad day! Did you ask your receipt? Our sodas cost €2,60 and when you order special bottled beer this will cost around €5. But if you want a regular lager you will pay €2,70.

Found the place through a friend, as I'm vegetarian and we wanted to have lunch with some good vegetarian/vegan options. Place definitely well hidden, you wouldn't think it was there if you hadn't looked it up beforehand. I had a walnut muffin with vegan blue...cheese and sweet potato fries, and Japanese Matcha Latte with oat milk plus apple and cinnamon drink. The food was good and the ambience in the cafe was different and altogether quite quaint. Enjoyed it, little hidden gem.nMore
