Vegan restaurant and bar with international cuisine. Italian, Mexican and Japanese food influenced. During the weekend open till late with live dj spinning vinyl.

Hearth 2.0

Hearth originally started back in 2016, when Italians Valentino and Marco opened their small restaurant / creative space at the Albert Cuypstraat. They know each other from working at the Amstel Hotel (kitchen and management). At the Albert Cuypstraat they were offering a vegetarian menu with mostly soups, pasta dishes and tiramisu, with many vegan options. The name Hearth comes from the combination of heart and earth, referring to merging things they are passionate about (like art and music), with a sense of responsibility for the planet.

After several successful years they were looking for a bigger location and closed the restaurant early 2020, coincidentally around the time corona started. Determined to reopen again they waited it out and kept looking for a new location. And so they eventually opened again in January 2022. This time in Amsterdam Oost, and now as a fully vegan restaurant! Because during the years, they themselves also made the change from vegetarian to vegan, tells Valentino.

Mexican influence

The menu expresses an international cuisine, with influences from Italy, Japan and Mexico. Merging together in their own colourful style. Chef Valentino spent a good amount of time in Mexico during the pandemic, which is how some of the new dishes came about. They kept some of the favourite dishes from before on the current menu, like the charcoal ravioli and the falafel waffle. New dishes are for example the cauliflower ceviche, the ‘Mexican’ sushi and a brand new version of the tiramisu!

Another change compared to the old location is that here they obtained a license allowing them to serve alcoholic beverages. Besides beer, natural wine and such they also have a modest cocktail menu.

Live vinyl

At the new location they also invested more in their music setup. Every weekend night a dj is playing tracks live from vinyl. These are to be found at their Soundcloud account. They are also organising occasional jazz concerts (combined with dinner). Keep an eye on their social media for this.

For the interior design they wanted it to have more of a restaurant vibe, with the walls inspired by a ‘desert look’. The restaurant consists of two rectangular spaces. Where you get in, the bar is situated against the wall. In the back there’s a cosy corner next to a fireplace, adjoining the open kitchen. In the other room there are just dining tables. Besides the tables inside they also have a modest terrace on the pavement in the front of the restaurant.

Hearth is located at Amsterdam Oost, in the neighbourhood in between Wibautstraat and Oosterpark. Tram 3 stops around the corner, metrostation Wibautstraat is 10 minutes walking away.
