Stretch & Fold

Stretch & Fold is not only the place for great yoga in Amsterdam, but you can also enjoy pure meals here, including homemade salads. Of course, you’d prefer to do this on the rooftop terrace by the pool, but even in winter, it’s a cosy spot with views over Amsterdam Noord.

Le Sud

Le Sud is not a typical salad bar, but with its wide range of vegetables, falafel, olives, and dips, you can still assemble a delicious and well-filled salad at this delicatessen. Tip: try the roasted pumpkin with coconut flakes and the spicy falafel.
