Olive&Cookie - Saenredamstraat 67HS

You know how you can sometimes eat something great and then forget about it? Or look at pictures of your holiday food and have no idea how it tasted (or what it was!) anymore? With Olive & Cookie each dish creates a memory you and your tastebuds will not forget. Ever. You will look at that picture, remember and start swooning again. Each dish might look simple (polenta pie, beetroot salad, chickpeas with pumpkin) but everything is an explosion of taste in sheep's clothing (in a wonderful way), with just one or two (good) ingredients as star players and always a secret twist ingredient, like perfectly roasted sesame seeds with the perfectly cooked green beans. It may or may not also be the great love and dedication of Sandra and Petar... (probably there is a secret twist ingredient PLUS love). Their great knowledge of ingredients and techniques, makes each dish a perfect balance between taste, texture and colours. If I could chose 'a last supper' it would have to be made by one of the lovely chefs and owners of Olive & Cookie. But I prefer that I can just take my bike and ride there whenever I feel happy, I want to celebrate with someone I love or on my own, or simply whenever I want to eat with a smile and make the world slow down to just my senses. You pick and choose everything from their vitrine (I usually do around 3 hearty pies and several other dishes with pulses and veggies) and either get it on one plate to share or get your own plate. I prefer and love the shared plate. Take away is also an option but I only do that when I have to travel and want to eat something great to make everyone else in the train or plane jealous... Oh, and ALWAYS leave room for dessert, please. Do not leave without a dessert. Thank you for existing and sharing your passion for cooking with the world ♥

Absolute veggie/vegan gem. Around 10 mins walk from Museum Square. Extremely delicious and all cooked on premises. There is a table for 6/8 and an amazing selection which will tempt and satisfy... 'gratin of cauliflower with truffle.. 'say no more.. highly recommended.??

This place is small and unassuming. It's not a big restaurant, more aimed at takeout, with a couple places to sit and eat. The food is showcased in a glass counter, and heated up for the customer. I was not sure what to expect based on looks, but it tasted great! The small pies were especially delicious :)

Amazing. Cannot recommend a better place for veggie food that tastes amazing. Also the brownie I had was incredible. The owners were also some of the nicest people I've met here in Amsterdam. Well recommended.

Really good food, Friendly owner! I would recommend to go here!

This is such an amazing place. The owners make everything with such care & love. The food is homey, healthy, & simply delicious. Highly recommend!

Very nice cafe with a lot of tasty, healthy options! Good selection and knowledge about gluten free also. We really enjoyed our lunch here and will be back :)

Very kind owner from East Europe. He was open to explain every item he offered in the display fridge. The food taste was average to good, the price was very good for what I ordered, and last but not least, it's a great destination for vegetarians & vegans. He didn't accept payment with credit card but he also explained to me that card issuers in the Netherlands make them pay very high charges for every transaction. I would recommend the place even for non-vegetarians, the food is still good quality.
