Betty's Vegetarian Restaurant Amsterdam
Betty's is a high quality organic vegetarian restaurant located at Rijnstraat in the Rivierenbuurt district in Amsterdam Zuid (south). The menu is rich and imaginative with inspiration from local and Mediterranean ingredients - even if you aren't vegetarian you can still enjoy the foods on offer. |
Betty's is run by host Gido Schweitzer who comes to your table describing each course in mouth-watering detail. He speaks Dutch / English and his manner is friendly but not overbearing.
There are 2 general options of starters and mains each day - and each course consists of an assortment of smaller dishes. Typically the starter will be a fresh vegetable soup, freshly baked sourdough bread with olive oil and basil tapenade, mozzarella cheese, different varieties of tomato and some marinated artichokes and olives.
A main course will be something like a vegetable tart or lasagne, saffron roast potatoes (very nice!), salad with avocado and Dutch ratatouille.
Mains are priced at €23.50 whilst a starter and main will cost €28.50.
Betty's has some very good wines available direct from small producers - priced at €4.50 per glass or €22.50 to €36 per bottle.
Deserts (home-made cakes, ice cream dishes etc) range from €6.75 to €8.25. Or try one of the special teas on offer.
Betty's is quite a small establishment giving it a "private dining" feel. It has had some decent write-ups in the Dutch national press - reservations are essential.
It is open Wednesday to Sunday (1700-2230) but note the kitchen closes at 2045. It is also open on Saturdays (1130-1600) for sandwiches, cakes, coffee and tea. Betty's is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and also when the owner takes a holiday.
Getting there: You can reach Rijnstraat from the centre by trams 4 and 25. It is also a 5-10 minute walk from Amstel train station.
