What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Chez Nina Green Brasserie is highly praised for its refined and creative vegetarian and vegan cuisine, with many dishes being uniquely studied and flavorful. Diners consistently highlight the friendly and attentive service and the cozy ambiance. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some mention occasional disappointments with specific dishes like pizza or desserts, and acoustics can be an issue during peak times.
"Delicious food, we tried a tasting menu and loved every single dish, including those with ingredients that I don’t normally like.
Staff is super friendly and the place is cozy.
Would definitely recommend to try unusual and yet delicious vegetarian food. You can definitely taste that every dish is uniquely studied and there is a lot of research behind each ingredient combination."

"My wife and a great friend of ours dined here and it was SO GOOD! The space is modern, attractive and very comfortable, every single person working there that night (25 July) were so incredibly nice and attentive, and the food was phenomenal. We had the six course "summer feast" menu, which consists of a starter of some of the best bread and evoo ever; zucchini 3 ways; a pizzetta w/ fior de latte, zucchini, feta & pistachios (our friend candida's fave dish); mushroom ceviche; summer greens (cucumber, spring onion, snap peas w/ crisp chick peas in a tahini sauce, my fave) and peanut bucatini. Everything was delicious, timed right, & presented beautifully. Also, it paired perfectly with a great bottle of Gruner Veltliner. We will definitely come back here on our next visit, as it was the best vegetarian meal we have had. Go!"

"Very nice vegetarian restaurant that requires minimal adaptations to be fully vegan.
We took the 7 dish menu set + dessert, vegan, and overall it tasted good, was varied enough and we we’re full by the end of it.
For our menu the strong dishes were the polenta, winter greens, pasta, soup and of course the bread to soak the sauces.
The pizza was the most disappointing out of them, as the pumpkin was overpowering with sweetness and the olives did not give a salty enough balance. Second most disappointing were the potatoes, the sauces there were great but the potatoes were stale, very much so. The deconstructed lemon tart was better suited as staying in its original form, and a bit more lemony, with less crumbles.
The place is not cheap but in return you get a great experience, a very nice and cosy place with good service and included water / sparkling as part of the set menu.
We’ll definitely come back for the next menu!"

De beste restaurants in Amsterdam waar je ooit eens wilt eten
Een van de beste – volledig vegetarische – restaurants van Amsterdam is Chez Nina, waar je zó comfortabel eet dat je niet eens merkt dat je voornamelijk groentes eet. Met dank aan romige elementen (crèmes) en knapperige toevoegingen (gefrituurde kruiden, nootjes) zorgt de Zweedse chef Nina Olsson voor Ottolenghi-achtige gelaagdheid, die zelfs de doorgewinterde carnivoor niet zal kunnen weerstaan. Extra leuk: op zaterdag en zondag kun je er ook terecht voor een brunch.

Nina Olsson is een succesvolle Zweedse kok en daarmee samenhangend: een kookboekauteur en restaurant eigenaar. Sinds kort is ze ook eigenaar van een gloednieuwe vega(n) brasserie en wijnbar in één, en wel in de buurt van het Westerpark. We hebben het over Chez Nina, waar je van donderdagmiddag tot zondagavond terechtkunt voor de beste wijn, heerlijke vega(n) gerechten en – ook niet onbelangrijk – wat indirecte interieur-inspiratie.

Swedish chef and cookbook writer Nina Olsson focuses her vegetarian brasserie on how tasty the food is, not how vegetarian and healthy it is. At her cosy restaurant Chez Nina just next to Westerpark, delve into sumptuous plant-led dishes such as scrambled eggs with cavolo nero and madam-Jeanette mayonnaise, lentils stewed in coconut with pickled onion, and lima beans with fried capers, spinach and leeks.
