The 50 best spots for waffles in Amsterdam

This place was actually quite enjoyable — the taste was definitely not disappointing. Although the queue was a bit long, it added to the anticipation. The dough had a lovely aroma and just the right level of sweetness, not overpowering at all. It’s the kind of treat that feels balanced and well thought out. However, if we’re talking pure value for money, I personally feel that the red-themed shop nearby still wins. That one delivers a more satisfying experience in terms of both flavor and portion size. Still, this spot is worth trying if you’re in the area and don’t mind the wait.

Rudi's was my first experience with fresh stroopwafels and they were delicious! The waffle was thin and crispy and the filling was not overly sweet. I prefered the version without chocolate. I visited the Albert Cuyp Market on a Friday around 11 AM and there was a line for Rudi's but it moved very quickly. Note that the line is mostly uncovered so you'll be exposed to the elements. You can also buy a package of 10 stroopwafels, which makes great gifts. Just make sure if you choose to buy the metal tin for the stroopwafels, you grab a package of stroopwafels as well (otherwise you will have just paid for an empty metal tin).

Tried the original one and it was warm, crispy and delicious. Might be a little too sweet for your taste palette if you’re not a sweet tooth. Great and friendly service! Its a small truck so don’t expect any seating area!

The waffles were very flavorful, with a pleasant cinnamon and caramel aroma. The staff there are fantastic. Be sure to buy their waffle packages so you can enjoy the great taste even after your trip. I’m not a fan of adding unrelated toppings to waffles like many places in Amsterdam, which are often expensive, but here you can find the best classic waffle.

Delicious! Generous amount of caramel & surprisingly not too sweet- however, it's nothing actually particularly special compared to others in the city, so in my opinion it's not worth waiting in the very long line. You can get equally great, freshly made stroopwafels elsewhere without the hassle. Service is very friendly however :)

Visited Rudi’s Original Stroopwafels in Albert Cuyp Market and it was one of the highlights of my Amsterdam trip. The stroopwafel was made right in front of me — thin, crispy layers filled with warm, gooey caramel syrup. The combination of sweetness and texture was perfect, especially with the market’s lively atmosphere in the background. The staff were cheerful and welcoming, clearly proud of their craft. If you’re in Amsterdam, this is an absolute must-stop for an authentic Dutch treat — simple, delicious, and unforgettable.

It was a long-awaited visit to the original stroopwafel shop! I’ve tried so many versions over the years—even the ones from Costco—and have always been a fan. I even tried the fresh ones from Hans Egstorf once, but honestly didn’t like them (and they charge twice the price of Rudy’s!). We arrived “early,” around 10:50 a.m., before they officially opened, and there were already a few people in line. The father who founded this famous spot was such a gentleman—so kind and warm—and his son, who made my stroopwafels, was funny and just as friendly. We started with one original and one chocolate-dipped stroopwafel, plus a tin of pre-made ones to take home. After trying both, we preferred the original. We walked around a bit, then decided one tin just wasn’t enough (lol), so we went back for another fresh original and another tin to bring home. By then, the line was long, but it moved super fast. I wouldn’t say the fresh ones are necessarily better than the pre-made ones—they’re just different. The fresh ones are warm and crispy, while the pre-made ones are cold and crispy, each with its own charm. With a nice cup of coffee or tea, both are absolutely delicious. All in all, I loved the whole experience and will definitely be back next time I’m in Amsterdam. The price of €3 is very reasonable too! Note to the neighboring vendors: one of you should seriously consider selling good tea, coffee, or hot chocolate to go with Rudy’s stroopwafels instead of those ubiquitous t-shirts! Trust me—you’d do far better business. One needs a drink to go with these stroopwafels… otherwise, you might just choke from all that deliciousness! 😄

So glad I went out of my way to buy stroopwafels here before we went home. They aren’t exactly the kind you see in all the other shops. They are more like a very thin spiced biscuit with the caramel inside. And I loved it!

Holy crap this is the best stroopwafel that I had in my life! I wish that I had bought a box to go when I was there. The store is small and quaint, but the stroopwafel is so good. I highly recommend!

This stroopwafel was honestly the best I’ve ever tried! Perfectly balanced in flavor, not overly sweet, just the right amount of caramel, and so tasty with my coffee. The texture was soft but still had a nice bite to it. A must try if you’re looking for an authentic and delicious treat..

This place makes very good Stroopwafels with honey. The poppy seeds dessert, the ginger almonds and the Oliebll were also very good. There is a place to sit inside and coffee is available. The service isn't the friendliest out there especially towards newcomers. Highly recommended nonetheless.

I love this place, they have the best stroopwaffels, great coffee and ice creams. We are always received with a smile and it’s never too crowded.

Lovely bakers and very kindly took an order of Oliebollen from me for mine and my wife's birthday for early October. Excellent taste and also bought some butter cookie pieces. Can't recommend this bakery for sweet treats enough! <3 thank you.

I heard a lot about their Stroopwafel, so I was excited to try it, but honestly, it was a huge letdown. It was way too hard, super crunchy, cold and pretty much tasteless. Definitely not what I was expecting. And for the price? Totally not worth it. I really don’t get the hype. As someone who’s tried pastries all over Asia and Europe, I can confidently say this was one of the most overrated ones I’ve had in my life. I was expecting something maybe a bit softer (?), warmer, or at least flavorful, but instead, it was just a plain, sugary crunch with no real taste. The cappuccino was also pretty cold, which was really disappointing. As someone who has lived in Italy for years, this felt like a huge disappointment to what a proper cappuccino should be. It’s not just about the taste—it’s about the experience, and serving it lukewarm just ruins it. Not trying to be rude, but there’s absolutely nothing special about it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. There are way better options out there for pastries or a sweet breakfast, specially if you already have tried good pastries in other European countries or Asia.

During our visit to Amsterdam, we stopped by Van Wonderen Stroopwafels — a charming and well-known spot that’s certainly touristy, but still worth a visit. Depending on the time of day, you might find a long line wrapped around the corner or be able to walk right in. We sampled a few flavors — butterscotch, hazelnut crunch, caramel, and crispy delight. Each was freshly made, warm, and layered with just the right balance of sweetness and crunch. Our favorite was definitely Crispy Delight, with its perfect texture and rich flavor. That said, it’s definitely on the pricey side — €11 for a small and €13 for a medium — but for a first-time experience, it felt like a fun (and tasty) indulgence that lived up to the hype.

A quick and convenient stop for a treat with a gooey caramel syrup in the centre, but be prepared for the price. The staff were very friendly and the stroopwafels were presented beautifully, making for a great photo opportunity. However, the prices are clearly set for tourists. While the experience was pleasant, the cost makes it a place I wouldn't return to.

Van Wonderen Stroopwafels, a beloved food icon in Amsterdam, may not have the highest rating, but it’s worth a visit. This charming spot boasts a long line, offering a delightful array of topping options that are both fun and not diabetic-friendly. The warm waffles are simply delectable, but the cold ones are a bit of a letdown. The friendly staff doles out everything onsite, creating an enticing aroma that draws you in. While there’s no proper seating area, you can find a bench to wait for your order. However, it can get quite cramped, making it less ideal for strollers or wheelchairs. One downside is the pricing. For a mini waffle, they charge a hefty €11, which is quite pricey. This might be the reason behind the low rating.

Cute little shop, not very big. When I went, it wasn’t crowded at all. The stroopwafel I ordered came topped with Oreo. I thought it was delicious for the first 2–3 bites😅😂, but after that it got a bit too sweet for me because the caramel filling was quite rich. One piece is best shared between 2–3 people.

They serve waffles in three different sizes, which i really like. The taste was good overall; the KitKat topping was delicious but the peanut butter was average.

This place is nothing but an overpriced tourist trap. I paid €11 for a stroopwafel that tasted no different than a €2 supermarket version – overly sweet, flat, and absolutely not worth the hype. What shocked me even more was the disgusting hygiene. The entire floor was sticky and covered in crumbs, the counters were filthy with syrup and toppings scattered everywhere, and the staff uniforms were stained. Employees were preparing food with their hair not properly tied back, leaning over open ingredients while talking and breathing directly onto the food. The stroopwafels are not kept in any hygienic or closed environment – they just sit exposed while staff and customers crowd inside. It’s clear this place focuses only on looking good for Instagram photos with chandeliers and “fancy” decor, but behind the counter it’s a complete mess. Watching my food being made in such an unhygienic environment was honestly disturbing. Amsterdam has far better options: at local markets like Albert Cuyp you’ll find stroopwafels that are fresh, authentic, hygienic, and sold at a fair price. Avoid Van Wonderen at all costs – overpriced, dirty, unsanitary, and disappointing.

Small shop with very friendly staff. We wanted to try fresh stroopwafels, and the taste is hardly comparable – not too sweet and nicely warm. You can also choose a topping, and we even took some home in a cute tin. Still a bit pricey.

With the 4.8 rating with over a 1,000 reviews I knew it was a no brainer to come and try my very first stroopwaffle here. I am glad I did. Yes, I might have overpaid. But I am choosing to say I paid for the experience, the size, plus the hand wipe… You order at the counter and then they make it fresh in front of you! Pretty cool. (At the time I didn’t know many places did this.) The Dutch know how to do their sweets. They aren’t overly sweet or heavy. You can enjoy it and appreciate it. I am not sure if there is better out there and I don’t want to know. I think I had a great first and only experience and I would say anyone who went here would. Soak up the experience and soak up that sticky Carmel in between!

You have to line up then wait like 5-10 mins would get the hand make waffle immediately. May be it is the nature of their style but fresh one is very soft and taste not really strong. Like they offer you a wet paper and also have big smile from all staffs. If possible, please ensure will clean up the rubbish bin regularly ? 😬😬

We went on a Friday night around 6:30pm and there was no line. Ive never had a stroopwaffle before so I was amazed. I really thought that it would just taste like vanilla and be too sweet with the caramel in the middle. But it was spiced and warm, so so good. However we paid €7.50 for one here, whereas you can get them fresh for around 3-4 euros at some other places

The Stroopwafels are delicious!! Freshly baked and warm. Wait wasn't long at all. I got the original and it was the perfect balance of sweet and aromatic. I absolutely love it+++

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic Stroopwafels! You could smell them from down the street — that warm, sweet scent just draws you in. There was no queue when we went, so we got to watch them being made fresh right in front of us. They came out perfectly warm, soft in the middle with just a little crisp on the outside, and not overly sweet. Honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Yes, they’re a little on the expensive side, but you can really taste the quality — worth every cent. And the little hand wipe for those sticky caramel fingers afterwards was such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend stopping by Hans Egstorf if you’re in Amsterdam.

The stroopwafels were a little too sweet for my taste. The croissant with hazelnut was perfect. Super friendly service.

This is your ultimate stroopwafel in Amsterdam. Hans Egstorf's stroopwafel has the perfect texture of crisp and chewy with the balance of right sweetness of caramel. We brought home some stroopwafel to the Philippines and my family and friends just love it!!! Kudos to the staff who are very friendly and accommodating despite the long line. We will definitely visit again when we come back to Amsterdam ❤️

Delicious stroopwafels — definitely one of the best I’ve tried in Amsterdam! Fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. The owner is a really nice and friendly guy, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

This was an awesome experience! Hands-on learning is always fun, but combining it with my favorite Dutch specialty is an exhilarating event. We took turns making two stroopwafels each in the class. (I ate my first one fresh off the iron grill). I ate my second stroopwafel at the hotel. (I didn't want issues with airport security in the morning.) So grateful for the experience, gift bag, tin box, and recipe card!

Tried stroopwafles for the first time, hence picked up the original flavour. It was pretty good but it was toooo sweet. One person can eat only half of it at a time. There were other flavours as well, the pistachio looked really attractive but I didn’t go for it. But definitely give it a try!

You may try the rest, BUT MELLY'S is the BEST! We found Melly's stroopwafels to be freshest, the most luxurious, the yummiest and the most flavorful strropwafel in Amsterdam. We did try a couple of others and they just didn't reach the bar that Melly's did. Grab a coffee and a stroopwafel and life is good!

They have great selections of stroop waffles with different toppings. The ones that we tried were super sweet! All variations are rather pricey, they cost 7 euros just for a stroopwaffles. At least we have tried once, with no plan to come back.

Had to try some Stroops when in Amsterdam, and this has to be one of the best ones without a doubt! So good we went back multiple times! Recommend the original and eat it while warm! You’re welcome!

I did this class at the last minute and was lucky to get the last place. I had a lot of fun doing the class and learning about Stroopwafels. The class was taught by Sofia and she was very helpful and patient. It’s great value as you get to make 2 large Stroppwafels with your choice of toppings and a special tin to take home. Best to book in advance and a great activity for a group. Not suitable for young children but very good for 10-12 onwards.

Amazing breakfast spot in Amsterdam! The omelettes are creative and delicious, with plenty of choices. I had to wait around 30 minutes for a table, but it was definitely worth it. Quick service once seated and very friendly staff. A perfect place to start the day — highly recommended!

Great eggs restaurant with a lot of variety. We ordered the greek wedding and it was fine and the salmon deluxe and it was delicious and the baked potatoes which was a bit tasteless. The service was quick and the line outside was packed but only took us 20 mins to get a table. The atmosphere is like your typical morning breakfast restaurants where it is fast paced and seated in tiny tables that are right next to each other where you can hear the fun conversations people are having.

Came here on my birthday for breakfast and found the experience to be decent, though I thought the food was overpriced, and in my opinion, undercooked. The inside of the omelette, when cut open, was incredibly runny. I’ve seen French and Japanese style omelettes cooked this way, but honestly it gave me such a bad stomach ache and texture-wise really put me off. I wish they gave you an option for how cooked you want the eggs. I had the Popeye with jalapeños. Service was good and quick. Highlight of the meal was definitely the bread on the side - softest bread I’ve had in my 5 years living in Amsterdam!! The servers wouldn’t tell me where they bought it from though - trade secrets I suppose. Bread and team were great, eggs less so.

The shop has a big variety of omelettes and coffee, which is what drew me in. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match the menu. The place felt quite congested, and the service was disappointing. We waited for 20mins outside shop standing in rain. The cashier lady first allotted us a table, but when more people came in, she asked us to move to another one—and even called us selfish when we hesitated. That really crossed the line. I didn’t felt comfortable sitting in that environment, so I packed my food and left. The food was decent and the server guy was kind, but the attitude and service of employees here definitely need serious improvement.

The place is very cute and cozy, thanks to some luck we didn't have to wait to sit. We ordered and after some minutes everything was ready, very fast! The food was really good, especially my scrambo royale, also the apple juice was really liked. The only bad thing is that they didn't let us split the bill so one of us had to pay for everything, i don't know why :(

Great selection of eggs for every taste and whim. Either build your own from the ingredients listed or get one of their house specials. Everything we has was fantastic. The coffee is good too. Please note that the place is tiny and you might have to wait.

There was a huge lineup when I was there, but after I entered I was able to realize why. The omelettes were fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned. The staff were all friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy. Definitely worth it!

view was nice. we waited for order a little while but the place a little crowded. bagels were freshly made and the ingredient mix were chosen well. cappuccino was the best! prices are normal for a bagel i think…

We loved this bakery, despite it being a chain. Small, quaint, neighborhood cafe. The bagels (salmon & cream cheese and a pesto tomato avocado) were delicious and the coffee was great as well (cappuccino). We ate outside along the canal. A very pleasant breakfast experience.

Perfect location with seating next to the canal. I don’t know did the servers forgot that they have tables outside also or what, but we and some other clients waited up to 20 minutes to order. Outside tables were filthy and they didn’t clean them, even though they saw it. Food took around 20 minutes to arrive. Coffees were cold as they brought them. Bagels were good, but with overall experience not worth it.

Lovely little local coffee shop that do the most amazing and varied bagels. Menu has lots of options covering most tastes! Good portion sizes, tasty bagels, great coffee and a very reasonably priced

A great bagel and beans right on the gracht! We had fantastic quick service, ordered a simple bagel and cappuccino. It's a chain that I can depend on to be consistent and enjoyable. We will be back!

I didn’t expect much from bagels in Amsterdam but they were ok maybe a little under baked and the texture was a bit off. Good taste though. Servers were nice.

Had a very delicious salmon bagel and a coffee here... Loved it. Friendly, good atmosphere, food great. My only down was nothing to worry about unless you're not very mobile, as the stairs to the nice downstairs toilet are narrow. Just something to be aware of. 👍🙂

During our week-long stay in Amsterdam, we were at this place for breakfast probably 4x 😋😋😋😋 it was delicious and very nice. The service as well as the atmosphere in this place wonderful. Thank you. Definitely when we go again this will be our regular breakfast spot

Small pancake shop with only 4 or 5 tables. They have gluten free and vegan options. Plenty of toppings to choose from. I got the apple and cinnamon husband got the chocolate banana and almond. Portions are huge. Best to share one pancake.

Really yummy pancakes and rolled up nicely for easy eating. We were in a hurry to make it to a canal cruise, so we got there right when it opened. The staff was quick and because of the way the pancakes were rolled up, it was quick to eat. We’re vegan and they had a vegan pancake option which you can substitute in. You can choose from some signature pancake or add your own toppings. We had Everybody’s Sweetheart and Dutch Delight. Both very delicious and filling. We don’t eat onion or garlic, so the Dutch Delight was one of the savory ones that we could eat. I’m sure there are others, but didn’t inquire more since we were in a hurry. The shop is small so you may not get a place to sit. It got crowded very fast.

The pancakes with apple filling were delicious. Really casual, warm a cozy tucked away right by the canals. A much nicer option than the big franchises in de Wallen. Would definitely recommend for breakfast.

Cute and small place with very friendly and welcoming staff! We loved the extraordinary way of serving the pancake. Also loved that they served freshly pressed orange juice. Definitely would come again!

Tasty and filling, if not typical, vegan pancakes. Not a lot of sitting space, but time it right and you'll get a spot. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed the experience.

Really great spot for traditional Amsterdam pancakes with an awesome vegan option. I had the one with warm bananas and syrup — simple but delicious. The fresh-squeezed OJ was also perfect. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Whether you’re vegan or not, definitely worth a stop while you’re in town.

Very chilled atmosphere dedicated to Sri Chinmoy an Indian spiritual leader. Delicious menu and drinks with a focus on balance of flavours. Make your own topping combo for waffles and unusual flavour hot drinks. We popped in for brunch the other day and will be going back again tomorrow before we head back to the UK. Card and cash accepted

Second time I have visited here with a friend, who is a regular here every week. Coffee, orange juice & waffles. There is so many toppings to chose from. What’s not to love!! Sugar overload!

Very suitable for celiacs! Glutenfree waffles were fluffy and tasty and didn't cost more than the others. You might need to bring a little extra time, just because the waffles are fresh and take a little while. At first I thought the prices for the extras were a bit much, but they are very generous with the toppings! Me and a friend both had a waffle and a drink and then decided to share another waffle. So even though it was a little expensive for me, I was very satisfied.

A true hidden gem in Amsterdam. Delicious food, smoothies and the lavender coffee. 🩷 The staff was amazing and very kind, too. Definitely recommend 🫶🏻

The best vegan waffles I had ever eaten! It is as good as it looks!

Great waffles 😍 Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance to try them and the waffles were sooo good. Very generous portion, lots of toppings to choose from which are also served generously with your waffles. I also 100% recommend the fake bacon and eggs, so crunchy and savoury. The staff is super nice, smiling at you from the moment you walk in and very helpful 😊 Amazing that they have gluten free as well as vegan options. Will come again soon!

During our recent vacation in Amsterdam, we stumbled upon Heart-Garden Waffles & Coffee—and it was one of the best surprises of our trip! Located in a cozy corner of the city, this charming waffle house truly lives up to its reputation as the best waffle spot in Amsterdam. We tried their signature waffles, which were absolutely delicious, light, and perfectly crispy. It’s a must-try if you’re looking for something a bit different yet incredibly tasty! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Whether you're a waffle enthusiast or just in the mood for a unique brunch experience, Heart-Garden delivers an unforgettable meal. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

After arriving in Amsterdam, I really fancied some pancakes and being a very short walk outside of the station this place was perfect. It was a little busy when I arrived however I still got a seat straightaway. Firstly just want to say that the staff were brilliant! Really friendly and helpful, they were always smiling and created a nice atmosphere. A great selection of food and drinks are available but I went for the basic maple and bacon option and a coffee. The coffee arrived almost straight away and was lovely. Like I said it was a little busy but my pancake arrived about 5-7 minutes later so still very quick service, and these were equally nice. Really fluffy and just spot on. It was a really good sized portion, (I got through about 2 and a half of them before they beat me) and the bacon wasn’t quite as snappy/crispy as I like, but they were nicely cooked and tasted great. And to top it off, after I paid they gave me a nice little keyring to remember the place and I personally love it when places do things like this. It’s just a really nice touch and I’ll always remember this place when I see it, and it really set the tone for what was an awesome day in an amazing city. 🙂 When I’m next in Amsterdam I’ll definitely be coming back here. The only thing I can say to just be aware of is if it’s busy, it can be a light bit tight if you sit outside as you’ll be sitting quite close to others. For me it wasn’t a problem as I’m not very big, but there was still a little bit of manoeuvring to get in and out, but the food and service you get is top notch so well worth it. In fact while I was eating a couple turned up with some suitcase and the staff offered to keep the cases safe inside so they could sit outside. Thank you Pancakes Amsterdam for a memorable and enjoyable visit.

We had breakfast here, and it was really good! The portions are big and very filling — definitely enough to start your day right. The prices are a bit on the expensive side, but that’s expected since it’s located in the city center. The service was good, and overall, it was a nice experience. Worth trying if you’re in Amsterdam and want a hearty breakfast!

We came here a few times — a calm, friendly spot just across from Amsterdam Centraal Station that’s incredibly convenient if you’ve got a train to catch. It’s easy to find and perfect for a relaxed breakfast or a casual brunch before exploring the city. The team working there were warm and efficient — friendly smiles, quick service, and they never made me feel rushed despite the steady stream of people coming in. My pancakes arrived sooner than I expected, piping hot and nicely presented. The menu has a good range of choices, including protein-friendly options (think extra eggs or savory choices) and clearly marked gluten-free alternatives, which I appreciated as someone traveling with dietary preferences. The portions are satisfying without being overwhelming, and they pair nicely with a well-brewed cup of coffee. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back — light, cozy seating and a gentle buzz of conversation that makes it a nice place to linger. It’s also family-friendly, with menu items that appeal to kids and adults alike. If you’re in a hurry, they do handle takeaway swiftly, which is convenient given the station location. One practical note: because of how convenient it is, especially for travelers arriving or departing from the station, the place fills up quickly — particularly on weekend mornings and during tourist season. If you want a quieter experience or a guaranteed table, come early or aim for a late-afternoon snack time. That said, turnover is decent, and the staff manage the flow well, so wait times aren’t usually too long. Overall, a relaxing and reliable spot for pancakes in a prime location. Friendly service, tasty options for different diets, and a cozy vibe make it worth a visit — just plan for crowds and come early if you want a guaranteed table. Highly recommended for a casual, delicious pit stop by Centraal Station.

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Portion to Price: 3/5 Overall: A good experience to have a pancake in Amsterdam but I didn't leave too full. The extended review... Food: Apple and Bacon Pancake - 3/5 - A good combo and pretty standard fare taste wise. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - A quaint ambiance with nicely spread out seating. Portion to Price: 3/5 - Could have used a little more portion.

Overall pretty good experience. The food was good, there was wide range of options on the menu. I got something basic, but looking at the food on other tables some of the pancakes can be quite decadent. Coffee was good here, with options for oat or soy milk. I will say the temperature inside the restaurant was very hot and a bit of airflow would have made the dining experience more pleasant. The servers were nice, but limited interactions with customers because it was busy.

You can't go to the Netherlands and not have a Dutch pancake, and you shouldn't go to Amsterdam and not have one at Amsterdam Pancakes! Short queue, worth the wait, had one savoury and one sweet between us and some refreshing lemonades. All delicious! Would definitely come again and keep working through the menu - lots of tasty classics and modern combos to try.

I recently visited Pancakes Amsterdam and it was such a delightful experience! The Dutch pancakes we ordered were melt-in-your-mouth and with just the right balance of sweetness. I tried the Dutch pancake with sweet strawberries, hazelnuts and whipped cream, and it was absolutely delicious. The presentation was lovely too! Portion size was generous. The atmosphere of the shop was friendly and inviting. Staff were attentive and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, I’d highly recommend Pancakes Amsterdam to anyone looking for a comforting brunch spot or a sweet treat / savoiry pancakes any time of day. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu before my holiday comes to an end!

Nice little shop making mini pancakes with tons of options. Some of mine were undercooked but otherwise very tasty! Pistachio was a kind of melted cream and was good but if I were to do it again I'd ask for half the sauce. Would definitely return if I'm ever in Amsterdam again.

The shop is small and cute. The mini pancakes take a little time to prepare, but they come out hot and taste great. They were a bit too sweet for my travel companions, but I really liked them. The staff were friendly and lovely ☺️

A very small but cosy, quiet and peaceful shop. Secluded from the bigger tourist attractions, which makes it a perfect pit stop. There were no wait lines, staff were friendly and efficient. The poffertjes were super yummy and the portion size was good!

The best poffertjes we’ve had in all four of our trips to Amsterdam! The guy making them was very friendly - smiling, chatty and clearly enjoying serving poffertjes and making customers happy. We’ll definitely come back!

The staff is what made this experience! So kind and informative. Food was excellent! Watching them make them was hypnotizing! Would do it as a snack or dessert not breakfast because it’s intense sweet. Just be careful not to trip in the hole in the door frame.

The poffertjes are yummy, no doubt. 🥞 But for me, the taste isn’t something that makes me want to come back again — it’s nice, just not that special or unique. Everyone has their own preference, of course. As for me, maybe next time I’ll explore other poffertjes places. ☺️

Absolutly in my opinion the best Poffertjes in Amsterdam (and i’ve tried many places). Outside crispy, soft and creamy inside and high quality butter that adds that slightly savoury touch. Just PERFECT!!! If you want to avoid waiting in line for a while, id suggest you visit it around 1-2 hour before its closing time. As there is no line during those hours Sorry for the bad quality picture, definitely not a reflection on the presentation.

What a great spot to enjoy some homemade bitterballen! We tried the “Sharing is caring” bitterballen tasting, the Pomme Frites, cheese sticks, and the Bittergarnituux Mix along with some wine. Everything was delicious! Our favourites were the vegan and beef bitterballen, the cheese sticks and bami, which is, apparently, one of the least favourites to the Dutch. It has a light curry flavour which we do enjoy and the texture of the noodles was really quite yummy. If you don’t like a curry flavour, then there’s others you’d be better to trying. The service we received was amazing - very warm and friendly and it’s a really great vibe in the restaurant. They have some outdoor seating and we noticed that the kitchen, which is open to be seen to the dining area, was pristine. Despite the food being fried, you don’t have that fried oil smell typical of restaurants who don’t change their fry oil as often as they should so we know everything was as well kept as it looked. Prices were VERY reasonable for the service, atmosphere and quality you receive. We walked in before the rush but reservations are recommended as they got very busy and you don’t want to miss out!

My wife and I are from the US and we visited the Netherlands back in September 2024. We were looking for a relaxing and delicious Dutch lunch at a fair price, and this place delivered that for us! We ordered the Sharing is Caring Bitterballen Tasting, which includes 4 beef, 4 veal, and 4 vegan. We also ordered the fries with black truffle mayo and some sparkling water. This place deserves all the great reviews!

First time I have tried bitterballen and didn’t know what to expect. They had a very crunchy coating and soft thick centre. We loved that they had a vegan option. It tasted quite meaty, and like thick stock. Not sure they are my favourite but good to try and glad I had them here. The cheese sticks were amazing!! Super crunchy outside and gooey inside, the olives were also very tasty. The staff were nice and helpful with helping choose what to order.

Amazing place and amazing stuff! We came here for the reviews and uau, did not disappoint. On a Sunday at 14:30 the restaurant was quite empty so we had a really cosy stay. We had the taste of the bitterballen (the beef one was the best). And the potatoes with the black truffle mayo ese 🤌🏻 Highly recommend ✨✨

This place is truly wonderful! The owner's boundless energy and warm hospitality create an incredibly inviting atmosphere. The moment you walk through the door, you are immediately embraced by a sense of joy and positivity. It's contagious, and you can't help but be drawn into the uplifting ambiance. The positive vibes are infectious, and you can't help but be influenced by the uplifting spirit in the air. It's not just the delicious food or beautiful decor that makes this place special, but the owner's passion and dedication to creating a memorable and happy environment for all who visit.

If I could, I would come back tomorrow! And I say this because after trying it for the first time on Saturday Evening we went back the day after for the Sunday Lunch (our last one in the beautiful Amsterdam) 💔. The place: 10/10. So chic, cozy and lovely. The food: SOOO GOOD AND TASTY! We had all kind of Bitterballen and their french fries, so yummy 😋 Each of them is my fave. Rutger, the owner, is magic! A funny person, so kind and nice. We really liked talking with him, also because we share a passion: Italy & Bitterballen! I hope to come back here very very soon. Nicest place to come try a Amsterdam must try. Also, price / quality is 10/10. Grazie mille! Un saluto da Daniela & Tommaso

Why I gave this place 5 starts across the board? 1) Food: I’ve never ordered a second plate despite being full. The veal was that good! 2) Service: Excellent from all the staff to the owner Roger….with attention to every detail 3) Atmosphere: Quaint, clean, authentic and beautiful!

Peaceful place to make groceries, prices are high but you get better quality stuff (with less crap, sugars, and chemical stuff then the ones in AH), staff is friendly, however bought beans and soup twice and both had a huge amount of fungi (rotten).

Always really nice service and atmosphere which makes it a very pleasant shopping experience. The store is not super big but they have everything you’ll need! Prices are higher than in other stores and sometimes I am disappointed by the quality of veggies and herbs.

Good choice for organic food, but you always have to ask for a receipt and check whether they have charged you with correct prices or not. It's very annoying and time consuming, but if you don't you'll basically end up paying more. I've complained with their management multiple times before, but nothing seems to improve hence the public review now. In my last 2 visits this week, I was charged 6 EURs more than what I was supposed to pay. They always tell you the same story, their systems have problems etc. I never had any issues with Ekoplaza shop nearby, so it's hard to grasp how 2 shops of the same chain can have such a big difference in their so called "systems". It started to feel more like a scam than an honest mistake as these issues have been ongoing for more than a year now. Just ask for a receipt and check if you've been charged with correct prices. Too bad consumers have to deal with such unprofessional businesses in this age of technology.

An ecological supermarket not being ecological at all. This morning we went to this supermarket as there was a ‘Broodbox’ available on Too good to go and we booked it. We were there at 8AM and basically the response of the personnel was that there was nothing available and that there was probably a mistake. There were plenty of items with a 50% discount label and they gave us absolutely nothing, they sent us back home even if we insisted. An ecological supermarket doing greenwashing, as probably most of those 50% discount items will go to waste. Awful staff, awful service and solution. Never going back.

A good size supermarket with a good amount of quality, natural products. The store has a wide range of selections, both natural and organic. You can find diet friendly (Gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.) food items here, as well. In addition to the quality products offered, the friendly staff makes shopping at Marqt a pleasant experience.

Low quality masquerading as high quality, uses greenwashing to convince you that products are healthy and sustainable while they are just as mass produced and harmful as anything at jumbo or ah, for example, and they treat and pay their workers awful.

The best supermarket in NL! Always fresh, bio, seasonal products with the best service and most welcoming and friendly stuff! Love it!

Great place to stop in and try an amazing and seemingly authentic dutch pancake! I’ve had several of their options, Pancake with Bacon, Cheese, Mushroom and/or Onion is my favorite. Any pancake choice is good though. The poffertjes were not my favorite (a little bit “soft” or wet, looked like banana slices). They have outdoor seating when it’s nice weather and the inside has plenty of seating and rooms.

Highly recommended! We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered, as follows in decreasing order: - french onion soup (very generous with the cheese) - bread with garlic spread (rich and creamy) - Norwegian pancake (not quite what we expected for the dough but the filling was tasty) We were lucky we can slightly earlier (around 5pm on a Saturday) as the crowds and queue outside started building after a while.

Amazing! A definite must! A beautiful location. A beautiful vibe, setting and ambience and the food is 💯 % worth it. You may find you have to queue to get in sometimes, but other times you could be lucky and walk straight in. A beautiful experience. From start to finish. We’d definitely recommend and most definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 💫

The Pancake Bakery is one of Amsterdam’s most iconic pancake spots, located in a 17th-century warehouse along the Prinsengracht canal, with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. They specialize in traditional Dutch pancakes, both sweet and savory, from classic apple-cinnamon to hearty seafood or bacon & cheese. Portions are generous, and ingredients are fresh — a must-try for many travelers. I ordered the spinach and turkey, egg pancake, which was tasty. Their pancakes are thin and fragrant — really delicious. They accept both cash and card, and after paying, you even get a postcard from the café :-)

Tried the autumn special pancake - super delicious! The beetroot pancake doesn’t have the raw taste of beetroot usually has - instead the pancake base is mildly sweet and tastes like figs. Service is very attentive. Perfect way to end the day!

Pancake and poffertjes were excellent, service was very friendly. We shared chocolate poffertjes and a savoury pancake with ham, cheese and apple, simply delicious! The servers were very friendly and you get a small gift when you pay, highly recommend.

Very efficient service. Pancakes a little pricey but decent. Love the bacon apple pancakes. Note that they only provide tap water if you purchase a drink.

Amazing apple pie served right from the oven. Along with a delicious double espresso or cappuccino, among other available beverages. If you love pie just have to come this cute little place. Will definitely come again in the near future.

Any travel guide in Amsterdam will tell you to stop by Winkel for their famous apple pie, and it’s absolutely worth it. I’m not even an apple pie fan, but this one was really, really good. The crust, the filling, everything was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Yes, there’s a long line, but they run the place like a well-oiled machine. The line moves quickly, the pies are constantly coming out fresh, and the drinks are made in no time. If you get lucky and snag a seat outside, you can enjoy your dessert while people watching. Inside seating is nice too, especially by the window, though the space itself isn’t particularly special. Still, it’s a must-try spot in Amsterdam. Definitely worth the stop for a slice of their iconic apple pie.

Tried the famous apple pie at Winkel 43 in Amsterdam — absolutely loved it! You get a big, warm, fresh, and delicious slice. I had mine with whipped cream and a hot chocolate, which cost me €10 in total. There were about 30 people in line when I joined around 5 PM on a Saturday, but the service was super efficient and the queue moved quickly.

Very busy place - not a bad thing just something to note. I found the cafe too dark for my preference and I couldn’t see the food I was eating which is pretty important to me for the full experience. I know this doesn’t matter to some so personal preference. The apple pie was okay. Definitely tastes home made which is good, and had a very crunchy crust which I like. It was room temperature which, didn’t taste fresh out of the oven. I like mine to be at least warm. It did come extremely fast though, I imagine they just have the pies on plates ready to go. It’s also not too sweet. But I wouldn’t say it’s the best or anything. Just good, not great, in my opinion. I’ve had ones I enjoy more. The bitterballen on the other hand was really good. Best I’ve had so far. They were piping hot and tasted fresh. They pair really well with the mustard sauce provided.

Came because of the hype and a recommendation from a local friend of ours and this place’s apple pie reputation is very well deserved. We came at a good time so we were seated right away (2 people). Service was a bit slow because of the amount of people so it’s understandable. The pie itself was fantastic. No words to describe how good it was, so I rate it 10/10 for ruining apple pies for me because I don’t think I can get it anywhere else that’s this good. The coffee was good as well!

This is such a cute, cosy cafe ! The queues can be long but moves quite fast. It’s nice to sit outside too. The cake is delicious and I love the mint tea they have. Would definitely come back ! I’d say get somebody with you etc to sit at the table whilst you order (to sit outside etc).

Great place to taste apple pie… queues can get long but they have outdoor seating too! The slices are quite big so sharing between 2 would work! Highly recommended!

Warm & friendly service; a beautifully designed, cozy atmosphere, and most of all, delicious Dutch dishes. The vegetarian bitterballen was excellent - crispy on the outside without being oily, with great texture & flavour on the inside. Also really enjoyed the combination mashed potatoes to try the different flavours (kale, carrot, & cauliflower) that were each unique. Bonus that everything was extremely reasonably priced. Very highly recommend for the loveliest experience of traditional Dutch cuisine & hospitality!

Cozy little restaurant that's been serving the highest quality classic Dutch food for 25 years. We went on our first night in Amsterdam and it was the perfect place to start our trip. Service was so warm and friendly. They have a number of quick 3 course options if you haven't done a lot of research on the local food. We went with the ala carte option and had the best pea soup I've EVER had, their bitterballen which were fantastic and we split the XXL combination of hutspot which was more than enough food. Everything was wonderful. Definitely try their house beer "The Pantry", it's delicious! Make sure you make a reservation at least 30 days out if not more. It's a small restaurant and timeslots fill up fast. Thanks so much!

Great place to try dutch food: the staff are very friendly, it’s well located, and the decor is very characteristic. Although I didn’t love the food (it’s not my personal taste), it was great to try!! My favorite dish was the pea soup. It’s small and there are a lot of people, we waited a bit, but nothing serious 😁

Great place to get a quick intro to dutch cuisine. Here you can try the bitter ballen and then the combination sausage meatball traditional dishes. Excellent service and they take credit cards. Highly recommend.

The Pantry is a great choice for trying Dutch food! The atmosphere is super cozy and quaint. Get the fish menu! The shrimp croquettes were the standout -- a soft shrimp and potato filling in a crunchy breading. The sea bass dish was good (albeit I found some bones) and the veggies were great. I was pretty underwhelmed by the mashed potatoes, they lacked flavor. The dessert, caramel ice cream with stoopwaffel, was the right thing to end the meal.

We loved the Dutch food, the atmosphere and the service. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They have set menus, very good value. They offer vegetarian version for some of the menus. It is advisable to book in advance as it is really busy.

First time trying Dutch food. The places smelled amazing from half a block away. Couldn't wait to have those mashed potatoes in my mouth. Honestly the taste is mid at best, the sausage starter was the only thing I liked, my pea soup came with a big piece of plastic and when I told the server he told me "it happens sometimes" they didn't charge me for the soup, which was the least they could do. But if you want to eat bad and have a plastic soup then come here!!

A great food hall with tons of vendors and a huge variety of options! My partner and I split up to order, each finding something we loved quickly and managing to snag a table during a busy Thursday night. Great for meet ups and nights when you don’t want to cook in!

We went here on a Friday around 4pm and it wasn‘t too crowded. We walked around for a good ten minutes just enjoying the atmosphere and looking at all the different food options. I got a poke bowl with vegan salmon which tasted okay and was a little too small for my liking, but the real star of the show were my friend‘s fries which came at a great price and tasted amazing. The portion was huge too, so it was enough to share :) We also tried the cannolis and those were great too.

The food court was okay in the sense that there are many options to choose from. The deep fried fish was quite delicious but the calamari was not. Portion size was small. The lemonade we got from one of the bars there was very fresh and tasty.

So delicious and a great welcome scene for any traveller! All the food was the best I've had so far on my trip 😋 I got an Indian wrap €13 2x ciders €10 4x mini tartes from Petit gateau + 1 chocolate cookie - €20 The live music was great and chatting to locals was great too 👌🏽

It’s a cute place where you can find many food options. There are central counters where everyone orders what they want, and then you move to your table with self-service. It gets quite crowded on weekends, and there’s no reservation system.

A perfect spot for casual and fun dining. There’s a great variety of options, though I find the food a bit pricey for a “plaza” setting. As for the atmosphere, I would improve the quality of the chairs (they’re uncomfortable) and the acoustics, as it can get quite noisy.

Great place to eat and drink! So much choice and something for everyone. I had a beautiful salmon bowl from Padron and it was delicious. Excellent lively atmosphere. Highly recommend especially if everyone wants or likes different foods!

This cozy spot offers a wide variety of pancake options, including the ability to customize with your own toppings. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the ingredients definitely justifies it. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered the apple crumble cinnamon-style Dutch pancake—it was rich, flavorful, and generously portioned. I’d recommend sharing it, as it leaned a bit too sweet for one person. The wait was about 15 minutes, which felt a little long considering it wasn’t too busy, but overall, it was worth it.

The staff were all so so kind!! And the food woah! I love pancakes and this was 10/10. I ordered the meal deal plus mini chocolate pancakes. It is not expensive nor cheap its right on the middle, but the food size and quality is worth what you pay for.

Unfortunately not the pancakes I remember from a couple years ago. This one is mushy, almost spongy, in texture. The indoor dining, though light and bright, is super tight and uncomfortable. I had to get up to let other diners out, and everyone just seemed to be squished like sardines. You can tell they are really trying to maximize their real estate, perhaps at the expense of customer experience…? On the plus side, the 2 servers were efficient and seemed nice. Overall, for me, it’s too much money for what you get. Skip if you have other places on your list.

I brought my girlfriends here because I felt nostalgic, haven't been here since 2014 I think. But this time the experience was subpar: not only a woman at the table next to us found a piece of plastic wrap in her pancake, we asked for 3 goat cheese pancakes and one apple crumble one to share and got only 2 pancakes. We thought we clarified and asked for 2 more when these came, and after another 10 min we got only one of the 2 ordered. We just gave up in getting our order complete. We also had to ask for water like 5 times

These pancakes are fabulous. Stunningly scrumptious! Brilliant place if you need gluten-free, lactose free. Friendly staff and quick service. Loved it!

Very cramped environment with an uncomfortable vibe. Staff were very un-chatty and made us feel like a bit of an inconvenience when we asked a couple of questions. I paid €15.25 for a Dutch pancake with strawberries and cream - the pancake was very nice but €4.75 for 6 small, soggy strawberries? We asked for a few more for free and were told no and that if we wanted more, we would have to pay for them. The sauce dishes were also stained with weird brown marks. We wouldn’t come back.

Despite all the positive feedback and reviews I read about this place, I have to strongly advise people to avoid it. First of all, my friend ordered a pancake dish for 14€, and they were absolutely microscopic. It’s So overpriced, seeing as bottled water cost 4€. At the end we were ALSO told we couldn’t split the bill. Absolutely ridiculous, it’s a waste of money. Avoid.

Cozy place, but average food. They have a nice concept of paying for 2,3 or 4 dishes and choosing anything from the menu. Good opportunity to try various things from the menu. Portions aren’t big, which explains lower prices. I think it’s still a good value for your money. But food isn’t outstanding- in the end, it’s a simple brunch place, no stylish- fancy- servings. Their sandwiches look just like… sandwiches :)

Went there for breakfast and needed some gluten-free options too, and found exactly that. Small but tasty menu, arranged neatly on our plates, friendly staff too. Would come again (if I'm ever in the area).

Sincerely the best breakfast we had during our wonderful stay in Amsterdam. Wonderful food. Wonderful service. Loved it.

I loved having breakfast here. The place is very cosy and the staff is wonderful. Everyone was smiling and cheerful, which made my lazy and sleepy morning a lot better. There was a cat sleeping on one of the seats 😍 the food was delicious made with fresh ingredients. I was there on a Monday morning and most tables were taken, which only shows that it's a place serving good food and popular regardless of the time and day of the week.

Very pleasant vibe here, quick and friendly service, delicious selection of appetizing food. You won't regret the trip to come here!

Very good restaurant with tasty food. They’re gluten free options and you can have free tap water with the drinks ☺️ the waitress (and owner) is very nice. A very cozy place, I would have come for brunches or to read a book 😃

What a fun place for brunch / lunch! The concept really is picnic-like: You order 2, 3, or 4 items from a good-sized list of sandwiches, soups, salads, and hot dishes such as quiche, and the staff brings out a single plate with all your small portions. Everything we had was delicious, but my favorite was probably the quiche. Dessert was also tasty. Of course, this is all enhanced by the presence of Pedro the cat, who visits from a nearby establishment. We were lucky enough to be seated next to Pedro's blanket, which meant we got to enjoy petting him and just being in his presence! Reservations recommended for weekends.

Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. The dishes lacked flavor, presentation, and overall quality — which was very unexpected. The bread was cut too thick and had no taste, it wasn’t toasted or spread with butter. Adding simple touches such as garlic butter, cheese sauce, or other flavor elements could make a big difference. All three dishes we ordered were completely bland. These days, it’s easy to find inspiration online for improving flavor and presentation, and I believe there is definitely room for improvement.

We had a tasty brunch here on a Sunday morning. My only wish was that the wait list system worked because I tried to join the wait list as we were walking there and it wasn't working... Of course we arrived and the place was full so we could only add ourselves once we got there. This meant that we could only get bar seats which was a bit tight for space. Aside from the seating situation the food itself was great. We got the Navajo Eggs and the Huevos Rancheros. Both were delicious and had a good balance of fresh ingredients with savoury elements.

Great breakfast and healthy options 🌸 We got early breakfast here. We ordered the B&R breakfast with side eggs and avocado with coffee and matcha. Everything is delicious and fresh, especially the pancakes. The portion sizes are good. Coffee and matcha latte was also good. Quick and friendly service. Highly reccomend and would visit again =)

We arrived and a had a little wait once we joined the virtual waiting list, but that was okay as we just walked around the area for a bit. The staff were lovely and food was great. They have good gluten free options and everything is clearly marked on the menu. Only giving 4 stars as the prices were very expensive.

I ordered the B&R Special with extra avocado instead of bacon. The eggs and bread were delicious, and the butter elevated the whole dish. The orange juice was fresh, but the pancakes were underwhelming compared to the rest. Nice atmosphere and excellent service, overall, a solid 5 stars despite the pancakes.

I have been to a lot of brunch places in Amsterdam but this is definitely one of my favorite or maybe my new favorite in town. The pulled pork is just amazing. We went there around 1pm on a working day and waited outside for around 10 mins, which is okay. Will definitely come back.

The food was delicious and it's the best coffee I've had in this neighbourhood! I don't eat beef or pork, so they swapped the pork in my eggs Benedict with extra avocado. The ingredients were fresh, the flavours were amazing and the flavour pairings from the Brazilian and Kiwi cultures were incredible. One of my favourites! The staff was super nice. Even though they're reservation system was temporarily down, and I had to wait for 45 minutes before I could find a table, the staff was super nice and offered me a spot to relax in the waiting area. They also helped me with my luggage. Great experience in general, totally recommend it for brunches and breakfasts!

The garlic gravy, delicious. The medium raw was rather raw and uneven. The creme brule also delicious. The tables were way too dirty for a restaurant this reviewed. The general atmosphere was nice but having a filthy table didn't help. I would come back for the meat and the desert.

We were having a lovely dinner, but our experience was completely ruined by the service. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, the waitress was rude. I sat for more than 10 minutes without being offered water or a menu, even though she walked past our table multiple times. When I finally requested a menu, she said, “Please relax,” and tossed it onto the table. After waiting another 20 minutes, she still had not taken our order. I had to stop her as she walked by to ask her to take it. When I asked a few questions about the menu to decide on a dish, she raised her voice and said, “You know it or you don’t.” I felt like I was in a jail, not a restaurant. When I asked for her name, she refused to tell me, so I had no choice but to take her photo to report the incident. Later, I saw her laughing and joking with another waitress, while the table next to us had to request their bill three times. Even though we are travelers to Holland, we still expect good service from a restaurant of this quality. This type of behavior is a terrible reflection of the establishment. I don’t believe I’m the only one who has experienced this, and I hope the restaurant takes action so the great food is not overshadowed by such poor service.

We booked weeks in advance to make sure we got a spot. Because it was so so busy, service was very very slow. Only one person on the front desk which was a cramped area and had people queuing out the door. Was frustrating because we had a reservation and people in front were being seated before us. Again slow service for drinks and food. Not enough staff checking in for drinks or clearing tables. The steak was incredible. Definitely a must visit. The vegan burger was unreal. The best burger of the trip. A little disappointed in the fries they were a little dry. If they had been better it would have been a perfect meal. Starter was a vegan crispy cauliflower and mayo sauce and fried chicken and chilli sauce. Was absolutely incredible. We left super full!

After reading the reviews I was a bit worried about the service, but despite it being completely full The service was friendly and quick enough, sometimes we had to wait to get their attention but as I said: the whole restaurant was full. The food was amazing! I had the vegetarian option of the steak Bali and it was delicious!! My friends and husband had the regular steak and were also enjoying their food a lot! We will definitely go back!!

We were only allowed to sit outside even though there were many seats inside. The sun was blazing on our heads so it wasn't exactly comfortable. But we waited a bit until a table in the shade outside became available. The food was worth it though!!!

We chanced upon this restaurant outside Amsterdam Central and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, while the food was great, the service was very disappointing. We sat for about 5–10 minutes before even getting the menu, and it took another 10–15 minutes for someone to take our order. Our beef steak took almost an hour to arrive and although the menu said it would be served with white bread, none was given to us. We also ordered Heineken, the menu listed 22cl and 25cl options (just a 30ml difference), but when our 25cl beer came, it was served below the line, which made us wonder why we paid for the larger option if it wasn’t poured properly. We weren’t the only ones experiencing slow service. The elderly couple beside us waited 30 minutes just for the menu and another 30 minutes to order, only to have their beer arrive half foam. When the man went to complain, no one seemed to care, he was brushed off. Overall, while the food itself was good, the service experience really ruined the visit. It’s also disappointing to see that management only seems to reply to higher-star reviews and ignores critical feedback, which says a lot about how they value their customers.

Main course was a bit cold, waiters were friendly but sometimes things took a bit long. Other than that the food was good. The hamburger was a bit on the small side, and you definitely need to order a side dish with it.

The matcha latte was not good. Coffee not so good, but the lemon ginger shot was very refreshing. Overall the food was awesome! Especially the danish with cured salmon and avocado, super delicious. Sakshouka was wonderful. Staff was helpful too. Great ambience & wonderful wall paintings.

What a lovely surprise! Blushing turned out to be much more than just another casual spot. The interior is stylish and thoughtfully designed, with lots of charming little details — I especially loved the golden and pink bulldog statues scattered around. It really gives the place character and a playful, modern vibe. We ordered penne pasta with tomato sauce and chicken, and an avocado toast with scrambled eggs. Everything was fresh, tasty, and beautifully served. Their latte also deserves a special mention — served in a tall, faceted glass, it looked and tasted great. But what stood out most was the atmosphere. It felt calm, relaxed, and welcoming — no rush, no stress. Even though the place was busy, we never felt pressured to hurry or leave. The staff were kind and attentive, giving us space to enjoy our meal. A lovely spot for a cozy, delicious break in the city. I’d happily come back.

I really liked the carrot cake, it wasn't too sweet and it was firm, but not dry with a delicious so creamy and still not too sweet cream. And yes, it was also a good and delicious coffee! The service was pleasant, although a bit abrupt... And the atmosphere was nice, but there were too many tourists around, which made me feel like I should leave soon so that new people could come.

We had breakfast there twice during our stay in Amsterdam since we were at the hotel around the corner, and it was allways full of people. That is the reason the staff politely encourages a quick turnover at the tables and both times after we were sat down, we were asked to change tables because another group of pople came, but both times we enjoyed the athmosphere, eggs benedict and a cappucino.

Had brunch here and it was lovely. The staff were so genuinely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Range of seating ~ inside, outside in the sun or under cover. Great variety on the menu. Lovely coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. Food of a very good quality. Great place to sit and enjoy food and conversation.

lovely place, nice atmosphere and kind staff. the food was great. we took a wrap, a club sandwich and a special poached egg and it was all really tasty! I recommend it

the food was DELICIOUS. I had the scrambled eggs and a caesar salad, both were amazing and nothing was left on the plate when I finished. the waitress was funny and charming and the food came very quickly. we went in as a group of 7 and not a single person had anything bad to say.

Had a business meeting here and only a fresh mint tea so food i couldn't rate , The ambiance is nice, although the new owners are about to go into a make-over so once that is done I'll have to revisit it, i bet it's going to be more vibrant , on the first floor is ample room to sit in different couverts set-ups. On the second floor there's a designated area for Flex-work where you order through QR code.

Work friendly environment made us visit this place. We had brunch, quite spacious and nice people Overall the food was good except the fries. We ordered them expecting to have more than a half of a potato for 4.5 euros… It was a disappointment m, if you go don’t order fries/potatoes For what’s worth I found it little expensive but nice place overall

Gorilla loco smoothie was the BEST smoothie I've ever had - and I have had a lot of smoothies around Amsterdam! Love this place - really nice staff, airy, plenty of seating and nice food. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, late lunch...

I really love this Cafe, the atmosphere and service are always so welcoming. During the week, the second floor is kept laptop-free, which makes it even more special. I enjoy sitting there with my coffee, getting some work done in such a lovely and relaxing space.

What a great spot to come to!! The food was amazing, the be flat white was perfect and the space itself was weird and awesome. A lot of brick walls and wood furniture. Definitely would recommend it to anyone in the area

I thoroughly enjoyed this establishment. It has a very chill vibe and lots of space. It's kids friendly as they have a little corner where they can make drawings. The staff is very friendly and professional. They have plenty of space on different levels. The food quality is excellent. My steak and eggs really hit the spot. It's a recommendation from me!!

One of my favorite place in De Pijp. Good food, good service, and chill atmosphere. Also a great place to get some work done if it’s not too busy. Recommend making a reservation during the weekends.

We had a good experience at this Italian restaurant. We ordered the Tuna Pizza, which was good, and the Pollo Pizza, which was okay but not exceptional. The Tiramisu was delicious, and the Winter Tea was also enjoyable. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was friendly. Overall, a good place .

Highly recommend. The restaurant is small and lovely. I am celiac and I ate here with a friend. The first thing the server asked was if there were any food allergies. I got a red napkin to identify as gluten free and a separate menu which was completely gluten free. I had the homemade lasagne and the gluten free tiramisu and it tasted excellent.

Fantastic little italian spot. The restaurant is right on the canal with a lovely atmosphere. The gluten free menu is massive and you are given a red napkin instead of white so all the servers know you have an allergy (which I think is really useful). The food was delicious and service all round was 10/10.

As a Gluten free eater I was delighted to find this restaurant with a great menu!! The guys were so lovely. Food was great!

Walked for 25mins in torrential rain and gusty winds to get here from our hotel - but was well worth it! My Mum & I were only in Amsterdam for 1 night and I'm Celiac so always research where i can eat. Chose here based on my research. The staff were so welcoming to me and my 80 year-old Mum. They took good care of us. Having so much choice of dishes I could actually eat was amazing. The only other place that's beaten this in the 25 years since my diagnosis is (but, sadly closed down) Lucy's in the Lake District, in UK. I chose the lasgane and it was wonderful. I ordered the tiramsu for pudding, even though i didn't really have room - just because I could, and we were treating ourselves! I was also really happy to see an organic wine (rose) on the menu, and had a glass, which was v nice too. My Mum also enjoyed her food. So, I highly recommend this place if you are gluten free/celiac. I'd love to come back when I next visit Amserdam.

Only came here based on the gluten free recommendations. Yes they were careful and had a separate menu, red napkins to show it's gluten free. But the food was rubbish, no atmosphere and the staff were clearly tired and ready to go home. I wouldn't go again, but I didn't get glutened, so if you just want a safe gluten free meal then go for it but don't have high expectations on flavour. Also very expensive, probably because of the central area.

We had a really nice experience here! The staff was helpful and having a gluten free menu for one in our party was fantastic. It didn't take long to get our food and it was delicious; the pizza was done perfectly and everything had great flavor. We plan to return on our next trip to Amsterdam! And it's worth getting the bottle of wine over the carafe.

We visited here 12 and 1 PM without a reservation and were lucky to get a table quite quickly. Ordering is done via smartphone by scanning a QR code, which was easy and convenient. I ordered the chicken and waffles and honestly, it was amazing. The waffle was perfectly crispy, and the chicken was well-marinated and flavorful. Just delicious! We couldn’t finish everything, so we asked to take the leftovers to go. There was a €0.50 charge, which I agreed to, assuming the staff would pack the food. Since it was very crowded inside, I stepped outside to wait so I wouldn’t be in the way. A staff member then came out, looked at me strangely, and asked if I didn’t want the food anymore. I was confused, and it felt a bit uncomfortable. Apparently, I was expected to pack it myself, which wasn’t clearly communicated. The food was truly great, but the service left a mixed impression. It seemed like the staff weren’t too happy to serve tourists at least, that’s how it felt to us.

I visited this restaurant on a rainy Saturday, and it was the perfect way to start the day. I had brunch with some friends, and the four of us ordered the exact same dish: waffles and fried chicken. Big minds think alike, and in this case, we were totally right! The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy, and had a special seasoning. The waffles were fresh and slightly sweet, a perfect match for the salty chicken. The scrambled eggs were juicy and flavorful, balancing the plate nicely. I also tried a refreshing coconut drink, which I really recommend. The staff was friendly and gave us helpful recommendations. I definitely recommend this restaurant and especially their fried chicken waffles!

This is a remarkable little restaurant that I just happen to find on a whim. I made reservations before going because I saw reviews that said there would be a long wait if you did not have one. Glad I did. The food was amazing! Who knew I would come all the way to Amsterdam and find good fried chicken. The chicken was crispy and seasoned very well. Being from the south in the US, I think I can consider myself an expert on fried chicken; I’ve cooked it and eaten it for many years now. So kudos to Staring at Jacob for a well cooked chicken. It blew my mind. It was one of the best restaurants that I visited during my vacay. So I had the chicken and waffles. The waffles were very thick, dense and very filling; I did not eat all. I enjoyed the scrambled eggs. The service was really great, very friendly staff. Prices were reasonable, especially for the portion sizes.

Food is very well seasoned and big portions. Can confirm that it tasted very much like NYC brunch (with this restaurant having “New York Brunch Bar” in the logo). Got a carnivore breakfast plate. Bacon was crispy, hashbrown had a nice kick to it with spice that tasted like shin-ramen, pancakes tasted very homemade. Came during a weekday around 12pm, no wait and not too crowded inside.

Staring at Jacob is a well-known brunch spot in Amsterdam. It’s located in a more residential area, a bit away from the most “famous” parts of the city, but still in a great location right next to the iconic park. I have to say it was the best brunch I’ve had in Amsterdam in terms of price, quality, and menu options. My girlfriend and I ordered the All Around Carnivore, and it was incredible. I recommend going with an empty stomach because it’s honestly hard to finish the whole plate. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, the sausage and bacon had the ideal carnivore balance, the potatoes were great, and as if that wasn’t enough, you also get three big pancakes — probably the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Overall, the price is very reasonable for what you get — pretty standard for Amsterdam 🙂. We went on a Monday and even then, I think we wouldn’t have gotten a table without a reservation, so I definitely recommend booking ahead.

A reservation is highly encouraged since it does get packed quick. Waitress was extremely nice and food came out quick. Eggs were fluffy as were the pancakes. The bacon was crunchy and salty. The potatoes are crispy and light. If you get the chicken and waffles the waffle is thick and the chicken is flavored perfectly.

From now on in my list of brunch places in Amsterdam😊 There is a long queue to have a table.. but honestly, the food worth waiting ❤️ coffee was very good, and food.. very very good!

I got a Cinnamon Roll to go and it was tasty! The downside was the cream topping on the side as I expected the classic cream cheese but it was just whipped cream. Equally, the cinnamon roll was a little dry on the exterior but the closer you got to the center the doughier it gets. Overall it was good, but I would probably try elsewhere. The staff were friendly though! 😘

I think this place is definitely one of the best places for coffees and sweets. They have a wide range of options and the taste is on point 👌🏻 their cake feels a 100% homemade cake. The staff are super friendly

Stumbled upon this place by pure chance, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! The chocolate here exceeded all expectations — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced in flavor without being overly sweet. Each bite felt indulgent yet comforting, making it one of those discoveries you can’t stop thinking about. I also loved that they offer a wide variety of sizes, from small bites perfect for a quick treat to larger portions that make beautiful gifts. It’s the kind of spot you might walk past without noticing, but once you step inside and taste it, you’ll be so glad you did.

It’s just the perfect spot for a morning cosy breakfast in the heart of amsterdam! Melly’s cookies bar serves a variety of sweets and coffee We took the cinnamon roll, cake and brownies with coffee All tasted really great! I would love to visit again and try other stuff too Highly recommended

We loved sour experience - the pastries were amazing, good quality coffee, small area but cozy. We also went to the stroopwaffle workshop and made our own stroopwaffles which were delicious!

The chocolate cake is unreal. Super moist and such a great chocolate flavour. Not too sweet with the cream cheese frosting and dulce de Leche filling. Could easily polish off the whole cake!

I found this stroopwaffel to be even better than Rudy’s and there were unique flavor options to try. I went with the biscoff which was fabulous. I wound up eating the entire thing!

An incredible experience! Be sure to order the shredded beef sandwich — it’s a masterpiece, rich in flavor and unlike anything else. Don’t miss the warm banana pie, and remember to ask for whipped cream on every dessert. The bakery itself is cozy, welcoming, and filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods. Every bite feels homemade with a touch of love, making this place truly unforgettable.

The apple pie was great. The pancakes had the aftertaste of soap detergent. But the restaurant was loud, disorganized, the staff kept banging silverware Soo loudly, and lots of people kept walking around tables and disturbing the dining experience.

It was just a random hop in but ended up to be a great lunch place, the pooled beef sandwich was amazing and matcha was on a high level! The staff was great and interested in your comfort. Card only, digital ordering

food is great and people are nice, the atmosphere is cute and the service is very quick. vegan and gf options, outdoor and indoor seats available. thank you!

The pancakes were good; the French toast very average.

a lot choices of bread roll, veggies are fresh and is light spicy for chicken spicy. the donut dough is very soft and fluffy. also has a good ambience, it's a great place for brunch💖

Lovely place on an even lovelier street. The person serving me, Samantha was so nice! Coffee is excellent and the Turkish eggs were outstanding. I sat outside, enjoyed the people biking watching and had a perfect start to my morning!

Lovely ambience, fresh food, warm service- what else does one want for a nice brunch with friends? The fried chicken with glazed donuts and maple syrup shot was eclectic! They also have a nice collection of coffees. Highly recommend!

Love the concept. First time having a brunch at Ted's in AMS though. Super yummy food as per usual (and as per expectation). No flaws when it comes to the food itself, but it took quite a while to get it served. Service was a bit lacking. Issues with the coffee machine were not communicated properly. We were not asked whether we wanted a second round of drinks.

Ted’s is the perfect Amsterdam breaky spot — cozy, and full of charm. The staff are warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and beautifully done, and the coffee hits just right. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer and soak up the easy, happy vibe.

Absolutely fantastic spot! Food was delicious and the portions are sizeable. Also, who can resist breakfast at 3pm?? Come check this place out

The food was delicious. We went around 2pm and got our food very fast. Plus the service was very kid friendly. We’ll be coming back for sure. 🙌🏻

Went here for brunch with friends, but left quite disappointed. Service was quite bad, with the exception of one person, the people working there were inattentive and unpleasant. Unfortunately the food was even worse, especially the “lobster roll”. (On a good note, the waffle fries were nice - but a bit too much mayo for our liking). Would not recommend..

I have to say, as much as people rave about the pancakes, it was the juice that really stole the show for me. I ordered the pineapple juice, and it tasted like it had been freshly squeezed straight from the fruit—refreshing, vibrant, and full of flavor. As for the Mancake, it was just okay—not bad, but nothing to write home about. What did take us by surprise, though, was the shredded chicken. It was incredibly tender and seasoned just right—definitely a highlight of the meal. If you’re planning to drop by, I’d recommend giving that a try. They don’t accept split bill if you come with several friends. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a laid-back, cozy vibe that made the experience even better. All in all, a lovely spot with a few standout items on the menu!

I would definitely recommend coming for a brunch between friends for the salted pancakes / toast. However I couldn’t finish the sweet pancakes we took 2 differents kinds and the pancake have a kind of weird taste, the chocolate sauce also had a very specific taste that I didn’t quite like. The fruit juice were good (except the watermelon one) Unfortunately we could not finish them, not even half of them

Visited Moak pancakes for brunch and really enjoyed their fluffy pancakes and their wide selection of delicious brunch options. I had ordered the pink lady, which was perfectly complemented with the salmon and créme fraîche and really enjoyed the mix of savoury and sweet flavours. Their watermelon juice was great and I liked that it was served in a unique way. The service was great and accommodating and we received our food pretty quickly after ordering, which was great. Would highly recommend this place for brunch

It is what it is advertised. Pancake in both Savory and sweet. We love The Weekend - the amount of maple syrup is just enough that doesn’t overpower the cheese.They also do non diary version. The staff is very friendly and treat us to us (adults) a pure ginger shot each as appetiser on the house - it’s serious good stuff this! The house special pistachios ice cream is top notch. We all (the including kids) came out feeling very satisfied indeed! On top of cuisine the atmosphere is great. They play vinyl records in different genre music too. Would recommend.

The pancakes were good overall, I just missed the contrast between sweet and salty, so I added a bit of maple syrup to my salmon pancake. The watermelon juice was also really nice. We also asked for the ginger shot and it was INTENSE, recommend o my when feeling sick 😳

I had a good experience at MOAK pancakes. They allowed us to sit anywhere. The guy at the front desk was very welcoming. The order was taken quickly. The pancake was hot when served and with maple syrup it was just too good. Recommended!!!

From the moment i entered it was a lovely vibe. The customer service is amazing, the music is fantastic, its warm, cosy with amazing seating, clean service. It is worth mentioning how lovely Andrea's customer service is at this shop: very amiable and compassionate. The food is delicious warm and served well. Thank you for making my birthday breakfast special :3

The place itself is really cute and cosy, we loved it. The food we had was absolutely amazing, so tasty and well presented. I also tried the pink matcha latte and was genuinely impressed. The matcha was really smooth, no powdery bits at all, just perfectly mixed. We also ordered an apple juice, expecting something freshly squeezed, but it came from a bottle and was just poured into a glass, which was a bit disappointing to be honest. The only downside was the service, which was quite slow. We ended up waiting a fair bit and I noticed there was only one waitress working the whole café, so they probably had a staff shortage. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but then again, most places in Amsterdam are, so I can’t really complain. Overall, a lovely spot with great food and drinks, just don’t go if you’re in a rush.

This little place is very cosy! I think that it was one of the best matcha that I have ever drank, the orange juice is delicious and the Yogurt Bowl is so fresh! You have a delicious yogurt with homemade granola and a large amount of fruits like strawberries, banana, blueberries, kiwi and raspberries! 🥝

Brilliant place for breakfast. Staff were wonderful and friendly. Both drinks and food were fantastic too.

Visited this popular spot but had a disappointing experience. We were seated promptly, which was a good start, but service quickly fell short. Only one staff member was working out front, and although extra help arrived, it didn’t make much difference. We had to call someone over to place our order after being overlooked, while others who arrived later were served first. Our order included French toast, an açaí bowl, and two iced coffees. The coffees were made quickly but left sitting on the counter while we waited for food. The French toast arrived without toppings and had to be returned; when it came back, there was a hair in the cream. The açaí bowl never arrived at all, i didn’t think to moan and complain as i knew they were rushed/understaff. did mention once paying The coffees were good, but overall service felt disorganized. I understand staffing issues happen, but continuing to accept large groups without adequate support really impacted the experience.

Cute, little place in the middle of the centre. Cosy atmosphere on the inside, looked a bit crouded on the inside, but still nice to be. I sat on the terrasse, lovely to see people passing by while I was waiting for my freshly made ice tea and acai bowl. Very friendly waitress, the place has got an eye for detail with their matching straws and napkins ☺️.

This place is soo cute! The food is amazing and the girl who welcomed us was lovely :) 5 stars!

Got the Caesar Salad wrap and it was the best I’ve ever had! And the passion fruit tea was so delicious and refreshing.

I waited over 10 minutes just to get a coffee, which is unacceptable for a fast food restaurant. On top of that, the place smelled strongly of urine, making the experience very unpleasant. Definitely not what I expected from a McDonald’s.

McDonald's Amsterdam Damrak 8 We used the order machine and got our food for takeaway. The restaurant was crowded during our visit. The food was tasty as usual.

🤡🤡🤡🤡 You pay 4.40 for a McFlurry and it's not even half full. Also, they ony call 2 last digits out of your four-digit order and then they are surprised that you don't respond (there were at least 3 other people besides me that didn't realise they were being called).

Clean and service was quick. Expect it to be like any other mcdonald’s. Overall good experience.

I recently visited the McDonald's branch in Amsterdam, and unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. When my party and I walked in, we encountered several issues that disappointed us. First and foremost, the reception we received was not friendly at all. The staff seemed disinterested and unengaging, which immediately set a negative tone for our visit. We approached the self-service order kiosk to place our order, hoping for a quick and efficient process. However, to our dismay, the kiosk was broken and failed to print our receipt. Despite trying to explain the situation to the lady at the counter, we were met with indifference. Instead of offering assistance or an alternative solution, she merely kept repeating, "wait," without paying any attention to our concerns. This lack of responsiveness left us feeling ignored and frustrated. As customers, we expect a certain level of service and courtesy, especially when facing technical difficulties that were beyond our control. The staff's dismissive attitude only added to our disappointment. Eventually, after what felt like an eternity, we were finally able to obtain our food. However, the entire experience had already left a sour taste in our mouths, overshadowing any enjoyment we might have derived from the meal itself. As a frequent visitor to various McDonald's branches, I have come to appreciate the brand's consistency in delivering a pleasant dining experience. Regrettably, this particular visit to the Amsterdam branch fell short of those expectations. I hope that management takes note of our feedback and works towards improving the level of customer service at this location. In conclusion, based on my recent visit, I cannot recommend this particular McDonald’s branch in Amsterdam. Until they address the issues we encountered, I would advise patrons to consider alternative locations for a more enjoyable and hassle-free dining experience.

I only give a one-star review if there was absolutely no benefit from visiting a place, or if the experience was exceptionally bad. Unfortunately, this visit gave me neither benefit nor anything remotely positive - it was just a waste of time. I went in to grab something quick before catching my train. The menu was, unsurprisingly, the same boring selection I’ve seen at McDonald’s in the Netherlands and Germany. Still, I followed the instructions on the self-order kiosk. My first attempt to pay with my phone’s NFC failed, so I took out my debit card, but the card reader froze, and the kiosk screen was stuck at "follow the instructions". Both were unresponsive, and I stood there for four or five minutes wondering if I should keep waiting or go catch my train. I ended up leaving empty-handed, stressed, and hungry.

This was my second time in this specific branch, I’ve been to McDonald’s I. some pretty tough neighborhoods. This has to be the worst McDonald’s in the world. The staff was trying to be helpful and support customers as much as possible. The shift manager was just busy berating them and giving counter orders in front of customers, and addressing customers themselves with the rude tone, and no care for form whatsoever.

The products are not best but they are fresh. Focaccias and pizzas were delicious but we didn’t like the cookies and cinnamon bun. The tables are very dirty I think no one cleans or wipes them. We struggled to sit at a table and eventually we cleaned our own table.

I had them for breakfast. Their bakeries are excellent. They have lots of vegetarian and cheese stuff, so it's good for halal too. They have tea, hot coffee, and iced coffee. The coffee wasn't great. I got a flat white, and the beans tasted old and bitter. They have a big indoor seating area. They always have a queue, but they are fast. The staff are friendly. I would recommend basil tomato toast, butter sandwich, and cheese sandwich.

Had a really nice breakfast at this wonderful bakery. Everything is fresh and baked on-site. The space is large, the service is friendly and efficient, and the pastries are excellent. The cinnamon bun was a bit dry and lacked a strong cinnamon flavor, but the pain au chocolat and pain aux raisins were absolutely delicious. The cappuccino and the espresso were also very good. I’d definitely recommend this place!

Amazing fresh bakes and desserts! Very authentic busy place ! With nice coffee and friendly service too ! Been here lotsss of times , it’s my go to when I’m craving good bakes or a good coffee!! Highly recommended

A great place for breakfast if you happen to be in the area. There's a huge variety of confections, most of which are great.. there's very decent coffee as well, so that is icing on the cake (pun intended!). You order the food and then take it to your table .. you have to go and pick up your coffee too which works fine.. the seating area is spacious and has the nouveau 'industrial vibe', which is cosy and welcoming. The freshly pressed orange juice is great as well... Recommended!

Great bakery! The coffee was excellent, and the croissant was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

One of many wonderful coffee and bakery cafes located in the inner city of Amsterdam towards the university areas. The cafe offers many delicious delights and should be a must to stop by on your next visit to Amsterdam. Located on a central street and close to both the Amstel Hotel, Hyatt Regency and Citizen M hotel its location is popular with locals. Enjoy

Make a reservation, as it’s always very busy. The location is beautiful—calm and green, a peaceful spot in the city. The interior is very cozy, and when the weather is nice, it’s amazing to sit outside and enjoy the garden. Food: It seems like the prices have gone up while the portion sizes have decreased. The Chuck Norris sandwich costs €18, which feels quite high for what you get. I had the savoury kadaif—it's a nice and unique dish, but again, I think €16 is too much. The prices of the 'Sides' are also not in proportion. 5 euro for a smashed avocado! They usually offer a wide variety of desserts, but unfortunately, there weren’t many left. We ordered the apple pie, which tasted great, but the portion was very small. Overall, it was a nice experience. However, I’d suggest reviewing the portion sizes, and the service could definitely be a bit quicker.

Great food and great service. Everyone friendly. Poached eggs were a bit overcooked but delicious. I would suggest to put special offers on bigger paper as we found out about special dish after accidentally finding tiny piece of paper 🤣

Great menu with a lot of variety for breakfast / lunch options. Great vegetarian options. I really like the location - good indoor and outdoor space surrounded by greenery. Would suggest reserving as it gets very busy on the weekends.

The food was delicious, we ordered the savory Dutch and the brave basque and they were both very good. New options that we had not ordered before. June was a magnificent server and she gave us great advice when ordering and about Amsterdam in general. The place is super cozy and nice. I recommend making reservations as it gets quite busy in weekends. I have also had the kale hash poached eggs which I think have been my favorite so far. I will definitely be back to try more things. Thank you!

Had a reservation at 12, we only managed to order by 12:30 which seems a little strange considering that we only have 1,5 hours for our reservation. We ordered pancakes as dessert and i asked for extra set of cutlery. Had to wait a little to get those, so ended up grabbing them myself. I think this place def could use an extra pair of hands for FOH. Food was pretty nice. Interesting and new combinations of flavors.

I really liked the atmosphere. Both indoor and outdoor areas are lovely. I do think the prices are way too high for the portion sizes. The flavours did not blow me away. The plating was nice but I felt that the quality of the food could be improved. I had the baguette with bresaola, which could have easily been elevated with a sourdough. I think it’s very basic compared to the price although the ambience was nice.

Lovely location for lunch, with calm garden views. We both had the “Benny Boy”: hash brown - poached eggs - topped with avocado (for me) and trout (for my boyfriend). This was such a delicious mouthful, felt happy and re-energized with good food after this meal. I would recommend to make reservations in advance as it can get pretty busy.

Absolutely adore the concept here especially with the in-house DJ! The service was great and fast that we got our food in about 10min, we ordered their vegan dishes that include Vegan chicken & waffles, Vegan burger bites and Vegan Katsu Curry and honestly they were all a 10/10 so worth the price and the portions were more than filling! For a hot day i recommend trying their pineapple juice as it was the perfect combination with the food 🍍

Cut Throat is such a vibey restaurant! The atmosphere is lively and the food is absolutely delicious, especially if you enjoy spicy Caribbean flavors. Everything is well seasoned and full of flavor. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for good vibes and great food!

It’s my third time here for bottomless brunch and I absolutely love it. Fast service, they really keep offering you drinks, friendly staff, really good food. More than recommend it. Good value for money.

Came for bottomless brunch with 5 others, super little brunch spot, cool decor and such friendly staff! Great choice of main meals and gluten free options too!

We came here for brunch for the first time a few weeks ago and we had the absolute best time! The value for the bottomless brunch is absolutely worth it. The food was delicious and Renee was the most attentive and warm wait staff, she really looked after us. Amazing vibe, we will definitely be back!

I had so much fun! I wish the DJ was there at opening vs when I was leaving but I know what time to come back next time! The food was great, and the bottomless brunch was everything. They made sure we had all of the drinks and we were able to try all different kinds. I loved it and will be back on my next vacation.

We came here for the boozy brunch with a group of around 8 people, shoutout to Renae for being the absolute best she was so attentive and sweet!!! The food was great and so were the drinks but the service just elevated the whole experience 💫

We had an amazing dinner at this pizza place! The four of us each ordered a different pizza, which was so delicious that we ended up sharing everything just to make sure we didn’t miss a single flavour. Every bite was packed with incredible taste – fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and unique combinations. A true pizza experience we’ll remember!

So I heard this place from a lot of people and I went without making any reservations. I thought, I think it was on a Saturday. There was like a 10-minute wait, I would say, but that was like an unnecessary wait, I think. So you just go and queue and then whenever they notice you, they give you a table. Them noticing you is the hard part 🤓 Anyways, the service is really nice, they're proper Italians, like the kitchen staff speaks Italian to each other, and the pizza was so, so good. I had the one that got the award, I forget what it was called, it's with the really crispy aubergines. From a sensory perspective, it was really, really nice, because the aubergine cut gives a super nice crunch to the pizza and also a really nice flavor. I would definitely go again. Also nice location, outdoor seating has a cute view and you can also order to go.

We booked online as we saw in reviews it was busy and we were right to do so. They were very busy and had lots of take away pizzas too. We had a gluten free pizza (buratta) and a regular (salami). Both thought they were very tasty, very thin crust. The gluten free is suitable for coeliacs as it is cooked in a separate oven and prepared in a separate area (staff confirmed this). Overall a nice pizza and ok service! Would like some other gluten free dessert options other than panacotta.

I’d heard a lot about this place so we had to try it out whilst we were in Amsterdam. The restaurant is right by the canal so it was a lovely walk there and gorgeous views too. We were seated very quickly and drinks/food also arrived in good time. I ordered the melanzane alla parmigiana for a starter and the tartufo pizza (parma ham, rocket, truffle cream). Both were amazing! The waiters were knowledgeable about allergies and assured me that the gluten free pizzas were prepared in a separate area with gloves and separate boxes of toppings, and cooked in a separate oven! This was the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. The service here was great and the prices were some of the more reasonable prices we’ve seen in Amsterdam.

2 adults and two kids eating early dinner. It’s a popular place, so unless you show up when they open, I recommend table reservations. All pizzas were very delicious and well prepared. The gluten free pizza Margarita was “the best I’ve ever had” according to my son. (See the picture) Drinks were good, although in the higher end price wise.

One of THE Best napoletan pizza I ever had. Great texture, taste and choices of pizza. The place itself is very nice plus the friendly staff which is a big bonus. Would definitely try again

Really good Neapolitan pizza which is also available in gluten free version. As a wheelchair user I needed a little help to get to the interior of the restaurant but you can also sit outside. Recommend a reservation.

First time Columbia food, so good! Definitely will come again. The waiter was warm and offered us to try Pony Malta with milk. Super chill place!

Nice service & yummy authentic food ! My Colombian friend, recommended this mixed plate , was really good

I’m Colombian and came here hoping to enjoy a bit of home — and overall, it was a really nice experience! The food wasn’t fantastic, but it was tasty and comforting. For Colombians living abroad, this place is definitely a little treasure. We ordered a dish similar to Bandeja Paisa, with rice, beans, pork belly, fried plantain, and avocado — very flavorful and well served. The maracuyá juice was super refreshing and delicious! The only thing that could be improved was the steak, which was a bit tough and not as juicy or seasoned as we usually have it in Colombia. The portions were generous, the service was kind, and the atmosphere felt cozy and familiar. I’d happily come back to try more dishes and enjoy another maracuyá juice! 🇨🇴✨

The service is excellent, the food is super delicious, first time at this restaurant and 100% recommended.

Food and ambiance was amazing. The Margarita was to die for. Great place to eat at when you are missing home. Thank you!

The flavor of the Bandeja paisa made me feel at home while I was there and the guanaba juice with melk was AMAZING! The service was also great, I highly recommend it.

Went for the steak (fries) and dorada (fried fish). Both very nice, and surprisingly different and tasty than other places. The atmosphere is nice, and there seems to be a good level of authenticity. Would certainly go back! The lady serving us was very kind and attentive

Very delicious food, amazing staff and an excellent atmosphere. As an Indian myself I enjoyed to experience my culture this way and had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend this place and come back many times. Thank you so much!

Nice place It’s like having a contemporary indian restaurant experience! Terrace have nice heaters so you won’t get cold. The wooden benches outside are quite hard without cushions, but blankets are provided on request Butter chicken for one was enough for two. Give a try to chaat of the day if you want something new and different. Mary’s Nest for the dessert was below average. I wont order it again.

It was a messy start of the evening… Waiting 15 minutes outside but ones inside Steve made everything up with his great service and the very nice food! It was sad that the Naan oven did not work. We really have to come back to try it because it was not possible tonight.. We really enjoyed our evening. Thank you Steve!

We opted for Chef's Menu and it was not worth the price! I think we should have selected the dishes from regular menu as we would have got better dishes for similar price. Anyway, that's our mistake as the host had let us know the dishes within the Chef's menu. The reason for 3 star rating are - 1. For this class of restaurant, I would expect certain level of service which includes changing of dishes after every course. Do you really expect us to eat main course in a dish which was already dirty from prior course? The taste would mixup if we eat main course in the same dish. 2. The dishes are really small (marked in the image). The size of dish is good for starter but not for main course. How do you expect one to eat Naan and veggie or curry in the same dish? As an Indian you would certainly know how we eat bread and rice with curry or sabzi. 3. The dishes served were shareables. If you do not provide serving spoon with the dishes, how do you expect us to serve it in our plates? Should we all dip the Naan in the same bowl and eat? That's unhygienic! Again, for the class of restaurant, we shouldn't be asking for spoons and dishes. 4. We were 5 of us for dinner and were surprised that splitting of checks was not allowed. I completely understand that splitting by 5 could be a problem but splitting by 2 is very common practice. The food tasted well. But overall service didnt live up to the rating standards. I was very excited to bring my colleagues from US for dinner at a good Indian restaurant (per google rating) but everyone was disappointed by the quality of service. It feels bad when people say to you that food is good but wouldn't come next time. I really hope that quality of service improves!!!

By far one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip! We got the Chef’s menu with cocktail pairing. It was a shared menu, and came with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Which all came with a paired cocktail. The food was amazing and the drinks were made to perfection! As dessert came out, our waiter came out with Miri Mary tote bags to bring home. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure to be there! Definitely a must if you’re in the area!

Great food…pretty authentic from the starter to the desserts. The paneer, butter chicken, dhal, caramelised pineapple etc are super good. The naan is gorgeous even on its own. We (group of 7) enjoyed the food very much. There is option for vegetarian. Not forgetting the great service. Thank you and will definitely return.

A great Indian place with a twist - many dishes are European by origin, but made „more Indian”. The arrancini were great, as was the steamed pineapple. Very kind service from Rakib and his colleagues - thank you. Mind you - the place is quite small inside and can get pretty noisy when full

Food was absolutely delicious. Tried the cod sandwich and it was so good I had to get another one to go. Second sandwich I ordered was the honey roasted pork. Both were awesome and you should try them. The staff were so nice and helpful and showed me how they make their pork. Great experience, highly recommend.

Authentic & delicious. Best sandwiches in town. You get your food fast and with a smile whilst listening to nice beats in the background. The moment you take your first bite it feels like you are on a short vacation elsewhere. They have nice vegetarian options, too.

Found myself going into the shop on a rainy afternoon, and little did I know it would be my best gastronomic experience in Amsterdam. The food was outstanding (especially the homemade sauce), but I must say Ryan is what brought it over the top, with his superb knowledge of Surinamese heritage and warm and welcoming personality.

Small store for hot sauces and other Asian and South American products. Best 10 square meters of the city for people who like to spice things up. Surinamese sandwiches are quite okay but there are some better options close by...

An institute in Amsterdam. For me it's the best Surinamese food you can get. You can taste the attention of detail in the ingredients. For instance the tja sieuw-sandwich (roasted pork), which is barbecued and smoked with three different types of wood: cherry, apple, plum (rare). Their homemade hotsauce, the amazing sausages. Must visit when you're in Amsterdam.

Delicious sardines broodjes spicy and good. Staff is friendly and was able to understand and make me a nice brunch.

If I ask for spice and Hoi Sin sause on my sandwich I expect it to be on there….not worth the money.

If you’re into desserts that are both fancy and indulgent, FA. Stroop is definitely the spot. Stroopwafels galore, with plenty of options to keep your sweet tooth busy. 🍯 But fair warning: these are very sweet like, one-stroopwafel-and-you’re-done sweet. Also, pro tip from experience: do not let the caramel touch your fingers. Unless you enjoy walking around with sticky hands and no escape plan, because that stuff clings like it’s holding a grudge. 😅 Ratings: 🍴 Food: 3.5/5 🛎 Service & Ambience: 4/5 💸 Money’s Worth: 3.5/
