The delicious details

Bonboon is a fully vegan fine dining restaurant set inside Hotel Mercier in Amsterdam's Jordaan quarter. Chef Aitziber Renteria builds each tasting menu around seasonal vegetables, presenting dishes that look like colourful paintings against a backdrop of contemporary art and atmospheric lighting.

The five course menu changes every eight weeks, drawing on flavours from across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Dishes use fermentation, precise seasoning and layered textures to let vegetables speak for themselves, without relying on meat substitutes or imitation products.

Founded in 2018 by Daphne Althoff, the restaurant relocated to the Jordaan in summer 2023. The ground floor cocktail bar serves vegan interpretations of classic drinks alongside light bites.

Menu

What is on the table

Every dish at Bonboon is fully plant-based, with the kitchen building its repertoire exclusively from vegetables, fruits, legumes and plant-derived ingredients. The tasting menu rotates every eight weeks to reflect the season, with three, four or five courses available, each paired with wine or specialty tea from around the world. The kitchen avoids meat substitutes entirely, instead using fermentation, smoking and confit to coax depth and complexity from vegetables. Bonboon accommodates gluten-free and nut-free requirements across the menu.

Every dish at Bonboon is fully plant based, with the kitchen building its repertoire exclusively from vegetables, fruits, legumes and plant derived ingredients. The tasting menu (three, four or five courses) rotates every eight weeks to reflect what is in season, and each course can be paired with a selected wine or specialty tea from regions including Taiwan, China, Malawi and India.

The kitchen avoids meat substitutes entirely, instead using techniques such as fermentation, smoking and confit to coax depth and complexity from vegetables. Dishes like roasted celeriac with mole, fermented cabbage with lime aioli and a mushroom trio with portobello sauce show how the menu puts vegetables at the centre rather than mimicking animal based dishes.

Bonboon accommodates gluten free and nut free requirements across the menu, and the fully vegan kitchen structurally eliminates dairy, eggs, fish and shellfish.
