If you’re roaming the canals of Amsterdam looking for plant-based comfort food that actually hits the spot, you need to put Soil at the top of your list.

This casual, eco-conscious gem is doing incredible things with seasonal ingredients, but there’s one specific menu item that stole my heart: the Cheezy Burger.  

Forget those dry, uninspired veggie patties you usually get stuck with while traveling.

Soil has completely cracked the code on the perfect, Korean food-inspired comfort burger.

The Patty: A beautifully textured, savory plant-based patty made from natural proteins (like peas, soy, or wheat) that delivers an incredibly satisfying bite.

The Cheese: A rich, melted vegan cheddar that blankets the patty perfectly.  

The Toppings: Soil swaps out boring raw onions and basic condiments for sweet, jammy sticky onions, tangy cucumber pickles, and fresh leafy greens.  

The Sauce & Bun: It’s all brought together with a signature kick of spicy, creamy gochumayo (gochujang mayo) and served on a perfectly toasted, pillowy brioche bun.

It’s messy, savory, slightly sweet, and everything a great burger should be!

Whether you are a strict vegan or a dedicated carnivore, the Cheezy Burger stands completely on its own.

Pair it with a side of their rustic fries (or get them kimchi-loaded if you want to level up), grab a local craft beer, and enjoy the laid-back, friendly vibes.

Soil proves you don't need compromise to eat sustainably on the road!

Go check it out at Soil West (this location) at Bilderdijkstraat 141 or Soil East at Javastraat 40.
