Vegan Junk Food Bar

Vegan Junk Food Bar is an award-winning concept that’s on a mission to create a positive impact on animal, environmental and human welfare. The first VJFB opened up in 2017 in the monumental westside of Amsterdam, rapidly followed up by four (and counting) additional VJFB restaurants throughout the Netherlands.

VJFB serves sustainable Junk Food in an easily accessible and enjoyable way, from burgers to betterballs (vegan bitterballs), from salads to shawarma. They even have vegan sashimi! Besides food, they also serve beer, kombucha, wine, coffee and juices. You can check out the full menu here. Burgers are between 12-15 EUR, salads around 12 EUR and the betterballs cost 8.50 EUR.

VJFB has one goal in mind: 'We love the planet and we have a strong belief that a sustainable plant-based lifestyle is the only ethical option'. Plant-based alternatives prove to have the largest benefit for the planet and our health. This longtime dream turned into the #vjfbtakeover mission that went international. November 2020 the first crossing border VJFB opened in España, located in beautiful Barcelona.

There is a huge focus on quality and experience and that’s why every VJFB has its own unique atmosphere. The signature interiors are an edgy blend of colorful street-art with a hint of chique. Every month the VJFB music curator selects R&B and hip-hop tunes that rock you into the unique urban metropolitan laid back vibe and will make you want to come back for more.

I visited the VJFB in Amsterdam at the Marie Heinekenplein with the kids and we tried a couple of different dishes, like burgers, fries and betterballs. I am personally not that much into fried food (except for fries :)), so I regret not having tried the sashimi (from what I heard it’s really good). Everything that we had was very tasty and well prepared and staff was super friendly. VJFB is making vegan food very modern and tasty and have managed to access a wider audience (also meat eaters) because of their fast food approach. So come check it out when you are visiting the Netherlands and let me know what you think!
