Brunch restaurant
Brazilian restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
Bakers & Roasters is a vibrant and contemporary cafe known for its delectable brunch offerings, freshly baked goods, and specialty coffee. This popular spot in de Pijp infuses Kiwi and Brazilian influences into their menu, featuring dishes like eggs benny, New Zealand-style full English breakfast, Navajo eggs, and huevos rancheros.
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!

Open early on Sundays- worth getting up for! Excellent varied menu. We had florentine and BR special. Both very well executed. Super garlicky spinach and yummy think bread. Friendly efficient service.
Jason L — Google review
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.
Simona S — Google review
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.
Gabrielle T — Google review
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 =)
Rezzan H — Google review
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.

Brunch restaurant
American restaurant
Bar
Nestled in the trendy Oud-West neighborhood of Amsterdam, Staring at Jacob is a delightful brunch bar that perfectly captures the essence of a New York-style eatery. With its inviting outdoor seating and laid-back atmosphere, this spot is popular among students and stylish locals alike. The menu boasts an impressive selection of hearty American-style dishes, from classic Eggs Benedict to mouthwatering chicken and waffles, ensuring that every appetite is satisfied.
I recently visited this place for brunch with a colleague. We arrived around 10 AM without a reservation, and luckily, we found a table right away since the place was pretty empty inside, with only one table occupied outside. The ambiance was nice and welcoming and definitely cozy. I ordered a French toast with chocolate and strawberries, which was absolutely delicious, while my colleague had an avocado dish that he also enjoyed, though I can’t recall the exact name. We also had a couple of cappuccinos. The service was generally attentive and friendly, and everyone had a smile on their face. However, there was one moment that left a less positive impression. When we were ready to order, I was finishing a phone call, and the staff didn’t interrupt, which I appreciated. After I hung up, we waited a bit and then asked the only waitress inside at the time if we could order. She was texting on her phone and asked us to wait a moment, then finished to send a message and then went out to make a phone call, leaving us waiting. Another waiter from outside eventually noticed and came to assist us, and he was very kind and helpful. I understand that personal matters can arise, but I do believe that customer service should come first, and it would have been better if she had either taken our order or asked someone else to help us right away. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I’d probably return again.

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.
Duygu — Google review
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!
Felipe A — Google review
Really chilled restaurant with great food and very accommodating staff. A great place to grab breakfast/lunch and then take a stroll into the city. Highly recommend the all around carnivore and the all around veggie. Everything is super flavourful - including the coffee! Well worth a visit even if it’s out of your way.
Ellis P — Google review
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.
Irene L — Google review
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.
Justin Z — Google review
Great atmosphere with excellent quality of food. Eggs were scrambled to perfection, chicken was crunchy and still soft and juicy. Service was late but not the worst so.. id definitely be back
Oya K — Google review
I’m honestly surprised this place is so popular and highly regarded. The brunch was fairly average and overpriced for the quality of food and service provided. Nothing about the experience was explicitly bad, but nothing stood out either — certainly not enough to warrant asking, “Do you have a reservation?” for two people at 1pm on a Monday. We shared the avocado toast, chicken and waffles, juice #3, and an iced latte. The chicken and waffles came with barely enough syrup for the portion size, and they charge extra for basic condiments — for example, €1.50 for hot sauce with the avocado toast. The juice was fine, but felt very basic and overpriced for the size/quality. It’s also worth noting that you order everything and view the menu via a QR code, so there’s minimal server interaction or hospitality involved. Overall, I left feeling pretty disappointed. This feels more like a touristy TikTok hotspot than a genuinely great brunch spot. There are several other places in the neighborhood I would recommend over Staring at Jacob.

Dignita Hoftuin, located near the serene canals of Amsterdam, offers a delightful all-day brunch experience. The restaurant is part of a non-profit social enterprise that supports former victims of modern slavery by providing career opportunities. With its spacious lawn and proximity to attractions like the Magere Brug, Dignita Hoftuin is an ideal spot for a relaxing meal. Families with kids will appreciate the family-friendly setup at their Vondelpark location.
Rarely i find some perfect restaurants from all aspects.. what i found here is warm hospitality and GREAT SOUL TOUCH FOOD. Honestly the dish i ordered i wouldn’t mind eating it for so long and everyday! Simple yet so complicated feelings with this lovely egg dish. The atmosphere here is another layer of calm and peace.. the restaurant is inside a small a secret garden that you have to visit under any conditions! I traveled a lot but simply this is EXTRAORDINARY experience.

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.

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!

Make sure to make a reservation. They were quite busy and had a line waiting out the door. They do have several locations. We came here based on all the reviews and also based on a recommendation from an acquaintance. But honestly, we thought the food was just ok. Average and really nothing to rave about.
Vanessa L — Google review
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.
Kezia C — Google review
As much as we had hopes of liking the food, it failed. Service was just horrible. We waited 30 minutes for someone to take our order after we flagged them down and waited another 30 minutes for drinks, receiving a cold coffee which was clearly sitting somewhere. Food finally arrived after an hour and a half to find eggs Benedict that was over cooked, more hard boiled than poached and a sauce that was overly acidic. Safe to say, skip this location and try something more efficient.

Breakfast restaurant
Nestled on Bellamystraat, The Breakfast Club is a delightful spot in Amsterdam that promises to elevate your brunch experience. Renowned for its fluffy American pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, this eatery serves up a mouthwatering array of classic American-inspired dishes with a contemporary flair. With options like full English breakfasts, huevos rancheros, and the iconic New York pancakes paired with crispy bacon, it caters to diverse palates—making it an ideal choice for groups.
Fast service and very good food. We will definitely be back: the menu is stocked with so many delicious meals to choose from! The Breakfast Club sandwich was yummy and came with a generous number of chips. The grilled Brie sandwich was also amazing, and we chose to add bacon which worked really well. I’m not usually a bacon person but theirs was delicious.

The Breakfast Club is a chill spot for brunch anytime. The vibe is relaxed and casual, not too crowded even on weekends. I love their fluffy pancakes perfectly soft and topped with fresh fruit. The huevos rancheros is also tasty, with a nice kick from the jalapeños. Their breakfast burger is a bit of a treat, loaded with all the good stuff. They’ve got options for vegans and vegetarians too, which is cool. Service can be a bit slow sometimes, but the food is worth the wait. A solid spot to kick off the day.

Our hotel recommended this place and frankly I don't know why. Service was pretty slow, but very friendly, from sitting down to being served it took around 30 minutes. The food was not good, basically unseasoned, and the driest Omelette I've ever eaten. The outside seating is nice!

Very long to be served and get food out, along with trying to pay so we can leave. Pancakes were okay, whereas the London breakfast was better. I’d say it’s quite expensive for what it is, they had an option to pay €2 euro extra for hp sauce?

The Pantry is a cozy restaurant that offers a quintessentially Dutch dining experience. The interior resembles a traditional Dutch home, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu features hearty and comforting dishes such as stamppot and hutspot, which are traditional mashed vegetable dishes served with smoked sausage or meatballs. The portions are generous, and the focus is on traditional Dutch cuisine.
The Pantry was such a good eating experience! It was my first time trying Dutch food. I ordered the Menu 2 that included the goat cheese croquettes, the oven dish with cauliflower, ground beef, lots of old Amsterdam cheese and mashed potatoes and poffertjes that are like mini pancakes (my favorite). The service was amazing, and even though we had a +40 min wait to go inside the turnover was pretty fast so we just had to wait for like 30 min. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere to eat and I’m not surprised it was full throughout the whole time we were there.

Service was friendly. Make sure you make reservations because walk in queue will have an hour wait. We ordered the set meal and happy that they have variety of sets. Generally, we enjoyed the meal. But the fish did not do for me. I find it too bland. The fish was cooked perfectly though. Desserts was good.

Main oven was down when we visited and they were serving appetizers and small plates of some of the main dishes - which was perfect for us as we could then sample more dishes with smaller portions. Mashed potatoes with sauerkrauts, mashed potatoes with carrots and onions, beef croquettes, beef stew, meatball and smoked sausage. Food was amazing, flavorful and well balanced. So good And to top off, service was excellent! Definitely worth another visit!

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!

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 😁

Lion Noir is a sophisticated dining destination offering contemporary French cuisine in an artfully lit space with dark walls and a spacious terrace. The restaurant's hidden garden terrace provides an ideal setting for romantic dates or special occasions, while the interior exudes a dramatic ambiance.

Great upmarket dining in a very beautiful, relaxing atmosphere with excellent, friendly service. Every dish was a great combination of flavours. We went two days in a row for a three and four course dinner respectively, choosing the chef's menu where you don't know upfront what you are getting. Also the wine pairings were great! Staff make you feel very welcome and well taken care of.

Great bar! The only place we visited twice on our trip to Amsterdam. The staff was super friendly and the drinks were absolutely delicious. They have an amazing garden in the back. If you lucky enough, you might get a seat there. We tried probably 3/4 of the cocktails on their list and would happily drink them all again. The 'p.martini' and the 'Lionjito' are must haves.

Fantastic! Cocktails, food, atmosphere..... Read numerous recommendations about Lion Noir before going there and the experience fully lived up to my expectations. We had a reservation for Saturday evening at 21 pm. At arrival we got greeted by the friendliest and smiling staff in the bar area. We ordered some drinks while waiting for our table. We was then shown to our table on the first floor. Restaurant is spacious and tables spread out so you get both privacy and the vibe from other guest. Menu is great and has a good variety of fish and meat. Try the oysters from Ireland - really meaty and tasty. After a fantastic dinner we stayed for some cocktails before heading on. I can fully recommend Lion Noir.

We visited for the Tasting Menu (7 courses). Initially, it was nice with the service and pleasant first courses. Throughout this whole experience, I’d say seafood is their specialty, as it was always prepared so well that I would recommend here for seafood. However, I was quite disappointed by the restaurant’s selection of utensils and cleanliness. My main complaint would be the pairing of eating utensils and plates. The utensils do not sit well on the deep plates and make it burdensome to manoeuvre around for the food. This also means that cutting steaks was problematic since the knives couldn’t cut with full potential. Furthermore, the heavy bottoms of the utensils would constantly slide into the plates and make a mess when it got covered in sauce. Changing the deep plates for flatter plates would eliminate this problem. We had difficulty with the venison, which by nature is a tough meat, but it was extremely difficult to cut with the given knife and likewise hard to chew - the toughest I’ve had at a restaurant. I appreciated that the waitresses and chef offered to replace my knife (which I accepted) and bring a new piece of venison (which I rejected; no other options aside from venison offered), but I was still left unsatisfied due to their prior approach when I called one over to say that I believed the knife I have was dull. “It should not be” and “You should cut along the grain of the meat” were my responses… Obviously my meat showed several attempts at trying to cut it without penetration and I’ve eaten enough meat in my life to notice that there’s a problem beyond my control, which I had to show the waitress my pathetic attempt at trying to cut the meat without success. The comments from the waitresses were not useful and reduced my impression of the quality here. I could literally drag the knife on my thumb and it would not cut it. One waitress arrived with three knives - two of the same steak knives that I had issues with and one butter knife. Guess which knife performed better? The butter knife. Why? Because it at least was a bit serrated. The steak knives offered here were un-serrated, so they get dull easily and need constant maintenance to keep their sharpness. My dinner guest who had the same dish did not bother to cut their venison due to the same complaint and just stabbed the venison with the fork and took bites from it. It also seemed that some of the waitresses (there were 3-4 different ones helping us that night) were not as enthusiastic serving us after that incident, but it could also be dismissed by the busy day they were having. For the cleanliness, I constantly found specs of dried food stuck on the plates, cups, and silverware. Attention to the cleanliness of these before distributing to guests is needed… Other things, which were not as serious were the noise levels, wine service, and butter-less bread. It got very noisy during the evening, so it was difficult to talk to others as if the noise of every visitor bounced off the walls and you could hear almost every conversation. Regarding the wine service, I understand that not every restaurant does this, but we found it unfortunate to buy a bottle without tasting offered, which the wine was subpar with a high markup. Lastly, we were served bread with no butter. This is the first time I’ve dined somewhere that does not offer butter with their bread. Overall, this is a nice restaurant with good potential. As long as you do not find issues with eating your food, you will most likely find the experience pleasant with cheery waitresses.

Café Restaurant De Ysbreeker is a delightful gem by the river that captures the essence of local Amsterdam charm. The platter with cheese and salami was a highlight – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly curated to showcase typical Dutch tastes. We complemented it with some excellent beers and a fine wine, each selection enhancing the relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The location is stunning, with beautiful views of the river, making it a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the surroundings. One of the best aspects of De Ysbreeker is its authentic, local vibe, a refreshing break from the more tourist-heavy spots. Highly recommend for a genuine Amsterdam experience. Four stars well-deserved!

Dignita Vondelpark is a must-visit spot located near the famous Vondelpark in Amsterdam. This spacious three-story restaurant offers a delightful lunch experience with an array of house-made pastries and a menu featuring fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. The brunch menu includes tempting options like poached eggs, white chocolate and rhubarb pancakes, and roasted lamb sandwich. What sets Dignita apart is its commitment to social enterprise by supporting individuals affected by human trafficking.
One of the best breakfast place in Amsterdam. Wide choice of dishes,so everyone can find something for itself. Service with a smile which is not quite often in Amsterdam.But they can work on improving the timing of delivery. Often crowded in the morning. Prices are moderate.

Having tried other Dignitas before, this was my first visit to Vondelpark, and it felt like stumbling into a hidden gem. Reservations are a smart move—the place is popular, and for good reason. We ordered: - 🥪 Chicken Sandwich – hearty and flavorful, with just the right crunch. - 🥑🍳 Eggs Benedict with Avocado – creamy, rich, and beautifully plated. The real magic? Sitting in the glass house, bathed in gentle winter sunlight. It was soothing, almost meditative—like brunch in a greenhouse kissed by the cold.

We went here around 15 thinking they wouldn’t have space and would be closing but they actually had plenty! We also love the space because you had so many different options to choose from for different group sizes, and the staff was super helpful too. We got the toast and pistachio pancakes, we love both of them but the pancakes was a bit heavy, may not be easy to eat all of it one person. There were people with laptops too.

Dignita Vondelpark is a beautiful spot with truly incredible food. The Eggs Benedict and the Çılbır were both outstanding, fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. I always make a point to visit one of the Dignita locations whenever I’m in Amsterdam, and this one did not disappoint. The coffee here is also fantastic. The mimosa package, however, feels overpriced at 45€, especially given that the Sekt used retails for around 7€ a bottle. Service was friendly and welcoming, but noticeably slow. We received our food before our drinks, and empty plates and glasses were left on the table despite staff walking past multiple times. If you come for the food and coffee, you won’t be disappointed, but don’t expect quick or attentive service.

It's a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, known for its delicious and fresh-tasting food and diverse menu. The cafe has a pleasant atmosphere with pretty indoor aesthetics and large cappuccinos. While some find the portion sizes to be slightly overpriced, it's still considered a nice find overall.
Nice place to stop for a snack and warm up. The tea was really tasty and just what we needed. At first, they brought us the wrong dessert, not the one we ordered. But they replaced it for free without any fuss, which was great. The correct dessert turned out a bit dry, though. Overall, the service made up for the mistake. The staff was polite and handled the situation well.

One of the many cafés in Amsterdam. We had some beer, aperol spritz and wine so all kinds of drinks and of course some snacks. All was pretty common. But we had to wait long, different waitresses (poor and only English) and the order wasn’t right. So a shortage of staff maybe. The place is ok and near the Amstel river. We wanted to sit outside but both wind as lack of seats made us to go inside.

For me this place has the best nachos I ate in this city and I even brought friends to try who then agreed. Definitely will be back here and I hope they keep up the great quality.

Absolutely loved the vibe. Its a restaurant/bar on a rooftop of a hotel. We went for dinner (that by the way was really tasty) and then drinks on the terrace. We tried to make a reservation but it was full, we decided to give it a try anyway and had no problem getting a table as soon as we got there, even though it was a Saturday evening.

The restaurant has improved quite much since the past 6 months. The food is quite varied and savory, the service is attentive, and the cocktails are quite creative and are some of the best ones I’ve had in Amsterdam. Additionally, the place has a great view of the south and east part of the city, which makes for a beautiful atmosphere. As for recommendations here is what I would encourage you to try: 1. The Japanese Gin Fizz is out of this world and my all time favorite. 2. The bitterballen are delicious and are made with good quality ingredients. 3. The roast beef bread was so fresh and the flavor combination adds so much to the dish, however I do have to say that I prefer the bread to be warm. 5. The roasted pumpkin salad is quite refreshing, nevertheless I do think that it tastes better if some salt is added and it would perhaps be more savory with some balsamic or honey as dressing. 6. The white chocolate cheesecake is the only way to properly finish off the meal as it is creamy and savory. As a final note, I do have to mention that the service attention decreases as lunch hours are ending so I would recommend you to consider going before 15:30 for attentive and quick service. Nevertheless, there is always personnel around that can help you with anything you need.

Euro 2024 25/06 - Organised by Westerunie at Westergasterras. A very bad experience, extremely crowded. Profit was the main priority. There are many other better places at Westerpark to watch the game, entrance free & open to all people around it; where you won't feel cramped or encounter unjust and aggressive behavior. See Bar Kantoor, Troost, Radio Radio, and many more. A security guard bullied our friend, abusing his power and instructing everyone else from the security team not to let her in despite she had purchased a ticket. She was pushed by him multiple times while standing in front of the 'event gates' trying to finish a protein shake while watching the game (as instructed at the entrance, as it was not allowed to be in her bag), for which she protested. His words 'I am head of security and I do what I want, you will not get in because I say so and did not obey what I told you ' As confirmed by the police, this space outside is public, and our friend will be taking further actions against the organization.

De Uitsmijter is a hearty Dutch breakfast or lunch dish that consists of three fried eggs on sliced white or brown bread, typically topped with ham and cheese. Sometimes bacon and tomatoes are added as well. Despite its intimidating name, which translates to "bouncer," the dish is simple yet satisfying. It's said to have originated from late-night cafes where it was served before patrons were kicked out, hence the association with bouncers.
We were 4, and had breakfast. Really tasteful. Pretty decent, nothing more and nothing less than described in the menu.

The only thing that was lacking was the time it took to receive the orders and that’s probably due to the large amount of people that troop in due to the quality they get from the place. Would highly recommend it to anyone when the place isn’t too crowded.

Greenwoods Singel is a cozy and modern wood restaurant located at Singel 103, 1012 VG Amsterdam. It's known for serving hearty English breakfasts, sandwiches, and traditional cream teas. The signature dish is the Full English Breakfast with an average price range of 12-16. Despite having two locations, the Singel spot is recommended for an intimate Amsterdam brunch experience.
It was raining outside with no space inside and they still found a way to make a party of 7 happen. Such incredible service, kindness, and prompt attention. Thank you for taking such great care of us. And then there is the food, sparkling water, and espresso.. 🤌🤌

Review An excellent establishment in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, setting itself apart with an identity all of its own based on quality and taste; an enviable bedrock for any modern cafe. Greenwoods menu is well considered, offering something for everyone. What you can be sure of is the quality of any dish you order will be at a high level. I can’t say that very often at all. Consistency is a superpower here, with everything I tried being outstanding. The chicken burger was my personal highlight amidst an entire reel of excellence. It was succulent, flavoursome, and relied upon balance in a way you don’t find for a cafe staple normally. It was one of the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. Massive statement, but completely verifiable; just come give it a try. The lava cake was decadent and rich, the pancakes made my heart sing. I’ll stop now because I could otherwise go on forever. Great venue. Great service. Utterly outstanding food. Nice work, Greenwoods. You made a fan out of this Aussie traveller.

This is a super cute little cafe! The coffee was wonderful! The eggs Benedict was a bit odd as it wasn't served on an English muffin, but the hash browns were some of the best that I've ever had! It was definitely on the pricey side, but I would still go back for sure! Our server was really nice and she did a good job.

Nice restaurant. Good menu selection Large portions Seem a little understaffed for the amount of customers Would be a good idea to have bottles of water, the tapwater available on the tables so that you don’t have to wait for the staff to bring refills unfortunately the breakfast music was not breakfast music. It was more too upbeat loud and more like lunch Music. Overall, nice restaurant ~> If you like my review please press follow on my google profile.

Greenwoods Keizersgracht is a classic English tearoom with two central locations in Amsterdam. Their soda bread is a must-try, moist and cakey, served with butter. The menu features delicious takes on eggs Benedict, including the classic with ham on English muffins and the Emperors Eggs Royale with salmon on hash browns and beetroot Hollandaise. Be prepared for queues, especially on weekends, but the tempting aromas and traditional breakfasts make it worth the wait.
We were here for breakfast. I had Eggs Benedict with ham and hollandaise sauce, which was absolutely delicious. All the other dishes looked fantastic as well. We also shared a pancake, which was outstanding. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! We paid 130€ for four people.

It’s a smaller space, I’m not sure if they take reservations but I recommend making one if they do! We waited maybe 20mins in the rain for a table. It might be better if they had some sort of shelter for people waiting outside. I ordered the English breakfast and it was pretty standard, nothing outstanding. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict which she really enjoyed. All of the beverages were delicious, I recommend the coconut strawberry matcha and the apple, carrot, ginger juice. The staff were very friendly and accommodating; we were able to take our matcha to go!

Best advice... show up early or expect to find a full house every morning. Wonderful, friendly, and efficient service. Brian and the team at Greenwoods will take great care of you. I started with some carrot, juice spiked with ginseng and lemon. Pancakes were soft, fluffy and smothered in fresh berries and syrup. Eggs benny with Pastrami... an out of this world thriller any time of day. Creamy hollandaise, runny egg yolk, salty pastrami on crusty sourdough combine to create the best dish I've eaten in Amsterdam. MUST TRY brunch spot sure to satisfy!

Omelegg - de Pijp is a warm and modern restaurant known for its delicious omelettes and weekly specials. The cozy wood decor, fresh flowers, and plants create a welcoming atmosphere for diners. While some reviews mentioned minor issues with noise levels and service speed, many praised the friendly staff and reasonable prices. The extensive omelette options, including gluten-free choices, cater to various preferences. Despite being busy, the restaurant efficiently serves its patrons.

I just landed in Amsterdam in the morning, then took the train to city center and walked in the city, passed by this restaurant at around 8:30 am saw many ppl queuing there and the food looked awesome then I just queued there as well. The eggs are nice taste and smells good. The service is nice too, friendly and easy to understand. They all can speak English I guess. Inside is a bit noisy, ppl are talking and laughing, but that’s life I love it.

Always so great to get back to Omelegg 🥚 Huge portions, nice vibe, and super flexible — you can go for any ingredients you like. My favourite is the Salmon Deluxe 🐟 with avocado, spinach & truffle cheese, just perfect combo. Love their cosy countryside vibe inside — with chickens, hay, and other rustic details. They also have a weekly special ingredient, so it’s worth checking regularly 👌

Food - lovely omelletes cooked well. Service - friendly service but our order was slightly incorrect. Atmosphere - a bit of a frantic atmosphere which was not wholly necessary as it wasn't overly busy. They have a table at the back which is large and great for bigger groups.

This little gem surprised me in the most positive way. It’s not the most aesthetic or popular place so I didn’t have high hopes but my word was the food and service amazing. I ordered the Big Ben breakfast and it was 10/10, fluffy eggs, amazing sausage and loved the bread aswell. I also ordered their Peach Bellini and it was also just as good. The staff was also so friendly and welcoming and the prices are fairly reasonable too. 10/10 I will be coming back as a regular.

This place has cool vibes written all over it. From the moment you walk in, the design grabs your attention—think warm lighting, stylish decor, and just the right amount of buzz in the air. It’s the kind of spot where you could spend hours without realizing it. And the food? Delicious. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. But let’s talk about the real star: the blueberry pancakes. They’re fluffy, packed with juicy berries, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. If you order one thing, make it those. Great atmosphere, amazing food—this place is a must-visit.

I celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The two lovely ladies coordinated the surprise birthday wish and candles on the crème brûlée exactly as I had asked before dinner.

The atmosphere is always lovely. Honestly, it’s a 100/10 for everything combined.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Customer Service: 1 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food: 5 Stars We recently visited The Lobby Nesplein with two separate bookings for two different teams of friends. Although we arrived together, our reservations were completely separate, and we never asked to combine the tables. Unfortunately, the way we were treated at the entrance was very disappointing. The hostess told us in a rather rude tone that we were “fooling” the restaurant and that next time we should make “a full booking instead of scamming them,” which was shocking and completely uncalled for. We explained politely that we simply had two bookings, two tables, and were not asking for any special accommodations. The restaurant was not even full at the time, yet we were made to feel unwelcome. This interaction left a very negative impression about their customer service. Hospitality is about making guests feel comfortable, not accused. That being said, the food was absolutely fantastic—easily 5 out of 5. Every dish was prepared beautifully and tasted amazing. Compliments to the kitchen team for delivering such high quality. If only the service matched the excellence of the food, this would have been a perfect experience.

The restaurant prides itself on serving delicious meals that showcase the best of Dutch fare, featuring hearty meat, vegetable, and potato classics. With its 1930s style decor and commitment to using fresh, local ingredients, patrons can enjoy a taste of traditional Dutch food without breaking the bank.
Great place to eat. Food came out simple but so well prepared. Really happy to try local food and not the mediocre tourist trap area restaurants. Possibly the most satisfying meal we had in Amsterdam. The schnitzel was so crispy and delicious. Stewed beef was fantastic. Pork chop was juicy and tender. Concerned it was a bit undercooked in some areas though. Liver was very interesting but delicious.

Small cosy diner serving local home cooked Dutch dishes. Loved the fork tender chunky beef stew accompanied by fluffy boiled potatoes. Pairs well with a glass of port or sherry. Chicken noodle soup was nice and homely. Viennese schnitzel thinly breaded and the pork meat enclosed within was thick/ firm to the bite.

Went here because this place was all over tiktok, the influencers were insisting that this place look unassuming but is delicious. I can’t agree, I am not sure what’s worse the service or food. I kept getting ignored by the servers, I would stand right in front of them and try to speak to them but they prioritized joking with each other or other customers that came later than me. Not sure if it’s because I’m a tourist. We tried different food from their menu, I honestly did not like any of it. The buns were promised to be so light and airy, but they taste like regular american store-bought buns. Meat is also very mid, lowkey looks like slop.

I recently visited Prins Heerlijk for brunch, attracted by its great location near Amsterdam Centraal and the positive reviews. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to our expectations. Our food took almost 40 minutes to arrive, which felt a bit long. My friend ordered a fresh orange juice, but we were told it was unavailable and were offered apple juice instead. To our surprise, it wasn’t freshly made but came from a bottle. The coffee arrived quickly, but by the time the food came, I didn’t have anything left to drink. We ordered two English breakfasts, but the flavors were lacking; the dish felt quite plain and simple, especially for the price. While the location is convenient and the service was polite, the experience could definitely be improved with more attention to flavor and ensuring that drinks are as fresh as advertised. Hopefully, these small changes can make a big difference for future guests.

A Pancake Paradise with a Side of Patience This cozy nook is a delightful morning retreat, promising a breakfast experience that’s mostly heavenly. Their pancakes are nothing short of a revelation. Freshly brewed coffee paired with fluffy stacks, drizzled in Nutella and crowned with juicy strawberries? Pure bliss. It's a symphony of flavors that will have you humming your morning tunes. Sadly, the meat patty bun was a less inspiring act in this culinary drama. It was merely a supporting character, failing to steal the spotlight. While the ambiance is charming and inviting, patience might be required as the wait for your breakfast to arrive can test your Zen-like qualities. But hey, when the reward is a pancake masterpiece, a little wait might just be a small price to pay.

Box Sociaal is a vibrant Australian-inspired cafe known for its global brunches and burgers, as well as its selection of wine and local coffee. The cafe has two locations in Plantage and Jordaan, with the latter offering dinner options. Despite being relatively new to Amsterdam's brunch scene, Box Sociaal has quickly gained a loyal following for its inventive yet unpretentious menu.
Absolutely lovely Cafe. A great pot of tea! Very tasty eggs Benedict and burger. And they even had a gluten-free dessert. I am so pleased. The staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. Come here! You will not be disappointed!

Great breakfast and brunch place. We sat upstairs on the high counter without any reservations on a Saturday morning. We had two portions of the pancakes with spicy chicken and avo on toast. Both very good and filling. Coffees were ok. Hopefully they can improve the coffee quality. Otherwise both food and service were exceptional and the staff is very friendly too.

Box Social Coffee in Amsterdam is one of the rare spots that gets everything right. The coffee is exceptional—balanced, rich, and made with real care. The space feels warm without trying too hard. What truly stood out was the service. Our server, Jenna , was kind, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. They made the visit feel personal. Places like this remind you why hospitality matters. Will definitely come back.

Great service, coffee was good and the food was just OK. The eggs and hollandaise sauce desperately needed some seasoning and the poached eggs were on the overcooked side and were set - not runny. Not a bad place to visit for breakfast despite the words above.

Awesome food alongside canal. Very peaceful and lovely atmosphere. Magdelana (maddy) gave us very good service. She is smiling, understanding, courteous and polite. My brother wanted corrals coffee which was not on the menu but she understood the order and got it made for him and it was amazing. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast/ brunch/ lunch/ coffee/ drinks.

Great experience, service is good, had their pancake, coffee and home made kombucha- all good. Would return for avocado toast. Edit- Did go back for the mortgage toast and it did not disappoint. Tried their chai as well and it was well balanced. The service though felt more relaxed today.

Dutch restaurant
Bolenius Restaurant is a stylish and modern dining spot located near the Station Zuid Metro stop in Amsterdam's sleek Zuidas district. The restaurant features a Scandinavian-inspired design with lacquered wood and angular chairs, offering a terrace for outdoor dining. Known for its innovative 'New Amsterdam' cuisine, Bolenius boasts a Michelin star and offers a set six-course menu featuring hyperlocal ingredients, including vegetables and herbs from its on-site kitchen garden.
I’ve been vegan for 13 years and it’s a rare occurrence to experience vegan fine dining. As a self-described “vegan foodie”, Bolenius delivers. The restaurant atmosphere is modern yet unpretentious. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The food is wonderfully elegant. Bolenius truly achieves what it sets out to do in celebrating and elevating plants in a way I have not ever experienced before. From the pickled onion and horseradish sorbet on a sausage-stuffed cone amuse bouche, to the strawberry and elderflower vinegar coulis with white bean ice cream dessert, every single bite was simply beautiful. Bolenius was the highlight of my time in Amsterdam.

The restaurant is located on the “Zuidas” of Amsterdam. This area has a lot of big office buildings and is not as lively when they are closed. There is enough payed parking in a short walk distance, no valet parking. The restaurant itself looks modern, serene. Staff is friendly and as soon as we were seated the first small bites arrived. Most of the menu is based around vegetables because the restaurant has its own garden at the busy Zuidas. We had a three course lunch menu with the first two courses being vegetables and the final course fish. I found the taste sometimes a bit blend. Missing not only seasoning but an exciting sauce to get a bit more flavor differences out of the vegs. The restaurant has a terrace and staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was great and they also have a juice menu. All in all for me the rating gets three stars because of the combination between the (personal) bit blend flavors and price. Definitely a nice experience and a dream for vegans! For me it just did not overwhelm as much as I hoped.

Food was good, but a bit slow to arrive. We had to sit outside for the first few bites which made us cold. Not enough non-alcoholic mocktails on the menu.

We came here for lunch and it was very delicious. Besides main course they served entrees. I liked salt from Zeeland and that they have small garden near by where you can see how they grow vegetables for their kitchen. Waitress was friendly and explained everything, I liked they are polite and attentive. I liked they accept cash!! I didn’t like they served tap water and took 15 euro for it!!! It’s insane, the water is free everywhere in Amsterdam. I cannot give 5 stars and recommend it to my friends only because of it, I hope they will improve their service.

The place is nicely decorated with minimalistic style. However, the overall experience leaves one ‘confused’, for a lack of a better word. The ingredients are certainly very fresh and you can tell lots of thought went into dishes but the taste is mediocre. I can’t say that I’d like to have any of the dishes again. Scallops, for example, were tasty, but the sauce that was paired with them didn’t go well - making the whole dish unable to live to its potential. The ice cream with liquorish was an interesting presentation but it just wasn’t tasty. The selection of wines and service was good. Overall, interesting experience but for this level of restaurant the dishes should be much more sharp.

Fab lunch experience, starting by welcome and dishes descriptions. Job was a great server, but they were all good. Amuse bouche 2 star Michelin quality, the most fab homemade bread, just enough dramatics to make experience stand out, but not enough to turn gimmicky. Dishes were very good, the only one that didn't gel with me was the watermelon "steak", its texture too off-putting, but everything else,superb. Great coffee, cute petit fours. Definitely will be back. Private dining room fitting up to 18, also impressive. €59 lunch set menu, €115 for dinner. A le carte was also available.

Sadly I was a little disappointed with lunch at Bolenius. The food was beautifully presented and the service was really good but I had higher expectations with the taste of the dishes. My monkfish main was undercooked and tough which was a shame. We did really enjoy the selection of Dutch cheeses for dessert and that there was Dutch wine on the menu.

The squid toast and oysters were delicious! The veg starter was way too spicy ! The cocktails were nice but I think the prices are too high for the what is served. The service was weird and waiters kept talking and giggling to each other. Then new waiters were asking the same question again and again disturbing us mid- conversation. Average experience and will not visit again.

Impressive food with focus on charcoal grill Umami taste. We don’t eat meat but we’re happy with a few veggie options that were great! Composition, quality and presentation are a plus.

Beautiful terrace only issue is you keep hearing the sounds of the cleaning of the ten Kate market which can be super annoying. The food was great we had the sea food platter which was awesome. It had prawns muscles lobster and more. We recommend the buratta as well. The fish was so so and I wouldn't personally order it again. Overall great food and service.

Super nice place for drinks! If you are a young crowd or want to party and enjoy i would recommend this place very mush. Drinks are super good and they have all the classicals. Also you can come here with big groups. Food wise the starters are super good and very tasteful. I ordered the T Bone and I have to say it was not that mush meat on it and that was quite disappointing and the béarnaise sauce was to fatty for me. But the meat tasted really good.

The starter, main dish and sides were very tasty. Service staff was friendly and fast.

A typical cozy brown bar with a sun-filled terrace. The sweet potato fries are done perfectly here - crispy on the outside, nice and mushy on the inside. Service is great, especially if you’re here during off peak hours. During peak hours, it reverts back to typical Dutch service.

I just went there before 11 to sit while I was waiting for a friend, and the lady screamed from inside of the bar saying she was not yet open. I replied that it was fine I was just waiting for my friend in the meantime because we were going to have a coffee there and she said I couldn't sit there. Not even to wait 5 minutes till she opens??

Bosco is a relaxed urban-style cafe with funky monochrome collages on the walls. They serve delicious burgers, soups and salads for breakfast, with plenty of selection. The bathrooms are colourful and clean with sustainable toilet paper, and it's trendy spot with comfortable seating. There's good music playing in Bosco, making it a great place to spend a leisurely morning or afternoon.
Fun place with super friendly staff. The house Chardonnay wine was lacking a bit but other than that this place has always been nice to us. We had drinks here on New Years Day when it was pouring rain outside and many other places closed. We only had bitterballen but want to try their food next. They are very attentive with the table service, collecting dirty dishes and cleaning the table too. The wooden chairs remind me of something back in grade school but at least it encourages us to stand up after a couple of hours.

The quesaldilla was not ready, the cheese was not even melted, and the meat was cold.

The food and ambiance here is very nice! Had a great night and tried some interesting things. But the staff were talking very nasty about people. We sat next to the place where the servers were standing, and they were all the time talking about how weird people were or deciding with rock paper scissors who would have to go to the table with the “weird” people. So it was a very bad experience on that part.

The “nachos” dish on the menu unfortunately didn’t match what you’d expect. It was just a few plain tortilla chips served without cheese, sauce, or any toppings. That’s a bit disappointing, as this shouldn’t really be sold under the name “nachos.” The rest of the experience and service were okay, but it might be better to list this dish as “tortilla chips” instead, so expectations are clear. The location is nice.

Very disappointed in the loaded nachos. Too wet. Guacamole was creamy and abundant but no flavor. A glob of melted cheese was unappetizing. The salsa was sweet. Ugh. Consider a recipe that has more appeal. They were really the worst nachos I’ve ever had. Even hot sauce on the side (which wasn’t offered) would not have rescued these slimy nachos.

The Drovers Dog restaurant on Atjehstraat looks very nice inside. Unfortunately, our visit in September was defined by extremely long waiting times. We waited almost an hour for our food, and the drinks were also very slow to arrive. When we asked, we were just told it would be ready soon. It would have been helpful to be informed about the wait time beforehand. Due to the poor organization, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Went here with my sister and had such a great experience. We ordered the Give Peas a Chance, the Breakky Roll and a couple of coffees — everything was fresh, flavourful and perfectly done. The Aussie-style coffee is outstanding (and so hard to find in Amsterdam). Service was warm and attentive, and the whole place has a real community feel. The sunny morning terrace is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the weekend. Dog friendly as well, great for our little chihuahua Sunny - can’t wait to come back!

Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing experience. The waiting time for something as simple as drinks and food was unreasonably long, and it felt like the staff didn’t care about the delay at all.

We went on International Margarita Day, hoping they would have some promo going on. They didn’t :(, my friends didn’t like the margaritas, they were kinda strong, but I still drank mine trust. The nachos were good, however the drinks were pretty costly, and the food somewhat as well.

Have been back after its new mgmt 4 times since it first changed. Once, soon after the mgmt shift, twice in June and July and then again this past week. In June and July i was surprised by the great portion sizes on the appetizers and meals as well as the tasty and full pulled beef tacos, but this last visit ruined it for me. They switched to ground beef tacos, which reminded me of a “sloppy joe” sandwich in taste and quality. I couldn’t finish it. Plus they severely lowered the portion size for things like the calamari - which used to be a mountain on the plate, great value for price. This past visit there were a small handful of calamaris (maybe 10). It almost looked like we got a plate left by another group after they left. Overall a bit bummed as my friend and I brought more friends for drinks and board games and were raving about how the quality had gone up, just to see it fall down again. Service is really great all around, but the food quality and portions will have me choosing elsewhere

I really liked this place, the atmosphere is very youthful, you can appreciate the sunset is you sit in the outside tables, enjoy the music, but if you prefer the inside it’s cool too, with nice lights and decoration. The way to order is really modern, you just need the app or the website to choose your beverages and food, pay through credit or debit card, no contact is needed, which is highly appreciated during this times. The time to serve food is short, that’s nice too. The place crowds a little bit so I recommend to arrive early.

We had a lovely lunch here in the sun on their terrace. Easy to scan the QR on the table and then order your food. They’ll come bring it outside of course. Also big portions for lunch. Only downside was the coriander on my avocado toast but I guess I should have come up with that myself and asked about it. If you can, please put it on the ingredient list of the menu because it’s the sort of ingredient you either love or hate (for me it tastes like soap). I still rate it 5/5, great place for having drinks!

The service and food did not disappoint. Ordered multiple courses of food and was impressed with every serving. My favourite snack was the San Marzano flatbread (which is identical to pizza) and main meal was the ravioli with n’duja. The triple chocolate is very well-made with a good texture.

However, the staff was very nice to make up for that.

Lovely place by the water. Food was really really tasty, personally a bit on the pricey side regarding the portions. Also, would have loved to see more veggie options. Other than that, loved the atmosphere of the building and the outside terrace!

Beautiful industrial place. Food was ok-ish, price/quality not really in balance. Rosé wine, lovely but really overpriced! Staff was friendly but could be a bit more active on the floor. I do see real potential for this location, keep working on it!

Nice terrace outdoors to enjoy the sun on a sunmer day! We only had drinks, the service was fine but the waitress didn't know what a lager beer is, which us ok I guess, they are mostly students working in the staff team.

Vinnies excels at offering a wholesome, comforting breakfast in a charmingly informal setting. With a creative yet grounded menu, convivial service, and a thoughtful blend of organic fare and retro aesthetics, it’s a standout choice for a leisurely breakfast—or just a cozy coffee break. Perfect for relaxed mornings, health-conscious eaters, brunch lovers, and specially for vegetarian people must try lentils soup, you gonna love it , for anyone who appreciates thoughtful ingredients and a homely café vibe. Lastly the staff was friendly, helping and efficient, adding to the relaxed, enjoyable morning vibe. Must go place. ❤️

De Eeuwige Jeugd is a vibrant hotspot in the east of Amsterdam, founded by the friends behind Brouwerij de Eeuwige Jeugd. This colorful establishment offers a variety of activities including karaoke, parties, movie nights, and date-nights. During the day, it provides a relaxed atmosphere with good beer from its own brewery and is an ideal spot to enjoy local footballing experiences. At night, it transforms into a lively bar with music and lights.
My friends and I had just arrived in Amsterdam as part of our Euro-trip and this was the first place we stopped for food as it was across from our accommodation. We went in with no expectations, and left extremely happy with the amazing service, great beer and best food so far on our travels! The two men who served us were very friendly and helpful, with one of them even emailing us a helpful list of things to do (and tourist traps to avoid!) - we were so grateful, and their kindness really set the tone for the rest of our time in the city. Thank you so much! - 3 happy customers from New Zealand :)

It's really a find. A pretty big space with separate sections and a big bar with a lot of beer options. Of course they have their own beer and few other guests as well. The hosts are really friendly and have knowledge on what they are serving. There are also food options and it is good. They also have a few board games and cards, so a nice place to hangout with friends and chill.

We had so much fun here! Local brewed beer and awesome fries! The fries was amazing and everything we needed after a long day of walking! Our waitress was so cool. We joked a lot with her, and after encouraging her to giving a speech after successfully lighting a candle (she had trouble) we made her a napkin flower and a tip! None of us were drunk only happy and joking 😉❤️ Worth a visit!

I spent about 3 weeks in Amsterdam right on Tweede Van Swindenstraat and De Eeuwige Jeugd was a good spot to relax and have a drink, I went a few times. The atmosphere during the day is pretty relaxed, not super full and a good place if you want to check out a local footballing experience at a bar. The beer is from a brewery of the same name and it's very good. At night it feels more like a real bar, with music and lights. Food wasn't anything special as it's not their focus but still good enough to accompany the beer. The burger itself was just ok, but the bitterballen were great, including the vegetarian ones for those who like that option. Definitely stop by the bathroom as the ambience with the globes is something unexpected but pretty cool.

Well-located bar on the edge of the hipster Oosterpark, nicely situated on the corner. The bar is named after the brand of beers they sell, which have odd names (see the photo of the menu), such as Gleuvenglijder (which I won't translate for now), but taste really good. Surprisingly for a bar, the food is good. We had a lovely pizza, but the burgers look good too. The only downside to the Eeuwige Jeugd are the wooden benches on the side of the terrace, which are quite hard in your back (and lower back 😃). So, sit at a table...

This place is just as random as it is great. Atmosphere: Bar vibe up front (DJ setup in the evening), but in the back it’s decorated with a cozy bed & breakfast living room style. Fun date spot to chat or play darts, board games and a personal favorite - shuffle board! First place in Amsterdam I’ve seen with shuffle board! ❤️ Decorations are very random but hilarious - see photos - globes hanging from the ceiling in the hallway, nature/floral print wallpaper in the back rooms, naughty “peaches” all over the girls restroom. 😎 Staff: Cordial and regularly came to check if we needed drinks. Food: Was tasty. Bar snacks. Meats, cheeses, bitterballen, poutine/fries!, meat & veggie burgers and other vegetarian options.
Paula C — Google review
Tasty beer, cute interior and heated terrace. Good number of vegetarian options and above average nachos! They even have a shuffleboard table. Would be great if they had a clearer cocktail/liquor list, and sometimes the table service is a little slow. But overall a fun spot in the neighborhood.

Restaurant
Pancakes Amsterdam, located at Prins Hendrikkade 48, 1012 AC Amsterdam, offers a diverse menu featuring pancake-centric dishes inspired by both international cuisine and traditional Dutch cooking. The restaurant categorizes its menu by style, with dedicated sections for flat Dutch pancakes and thicker American varieties. Toppings range from savory combinations like ham and cheese to sweet treats such as chocolate sauce and stroopwafel crumble.
The staff were incredibly approachable and friendly, lovely people from start to finish. Great environment with wonderful ambience while eating! The food was delicious, got some sweet Dutch pancakes which were superb, a constant sweetness throughout that didn’t turn sickly towards the end like a lot of other “sweet treat” food spots

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.

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!

Went to Pancakes Amsterdam for a solo dinner and had a decent experience overall. I was seated quickly and the waiter came by within about 5 minutes—friendly enough, though didn’t introduce himself. The wait time for food wasn’t too bad (around 20 minutes), and the menu does a good job of explaining that the pancakes are made fresh, so I knew what to expect. I ordered the ham & cheese pancake with a fried egg. It was okay taste-wise—not really my thing, but that’s on me for picking a savory option. I’d definitely come back to try one of their sweet pancakes instead, which seem more popular. Really appreciated the smooth contactless payment option at the end. Overall, a solid spot to try Dutch-style pancakes in a relaxed setting. Also love the outdoor of the restaurant!

Nice place to have a bite & a drink, good quality food, but nothing extraordinary. It’s a bit pricey, but what you geed is just a very ordinary (but still good) dish.

All in all, I’d say it’s a great place to have a nice dinner & beer with a big company.

The restaurant has a cool, hip vibe. Nice and dark, but enough light to see and eat. The menu was wide ranging, from Asian (Bao sandwiches) to Mexican ((nachos) to Dutch (Bitterballen). All of it excellent! Even the fries were the freshest, crunchiest, and tastiest we’ve had even in the US. Drink menu is also extensive. They had a drink with mezcal that was smoky awesome!

They just wanted to grab their bag from the terrace, but the security guard wouldn’t even let them explain the situation. He was tall, big, and had short dark hair. Thankfully, another security guard with blond hair eventually stepped in, handled the situation properly, and my friends were able to retrieve their bag. Please do a better job selecting your security staff.

Lokaal van de Stad is in such a beautiful area, you HAVE to linger around. It’s right by the water, surrounded by greenery and the outdoor seating is the best.

Everything came in good portions, so you really get value for money here. I really liked the hummus pita, they gave so many sides as well, it was re perfect. The nachos were really nice too with many things mixed in it. The only dish that we didn’t really like were the pancakes. Service was great,and we got our seats outside under the shade of a tree with a dog around us which was very cute, and the perfect weather and sun. Get a seat outside if the weather is good, and you’ll really enjoy the food by the canal and beautiful quiet local streets!

The food here is truly amazing! The menu is very original. You could tell there’s a lot of thoughts put into every single dish and they definitely know and care about what they do. Only downside (big tho) was: at some point they got super busy, and one friend in our group who joined later wasn’t allowed to order food until they got more capacity, but there was not enough information shared with us, or an apology, or how long it might take until our friend could order food. We’ve never experienced anything similar to this and it was frankly jaw-dropping.

I'm disappointed in myself for not finding this place earlier. We had a delicious lunch at Cafe Cook on their very relaxed and pleasant terrace, with an efficient and friendly staff. The menu was much more creative and well-curated compared to most spots I go to, and the prices aren't as egregious as l'm used to in Amsterdam. That bean purée that comes with the roasted chicken and mango chili sauce was amazing. A nice spot to come back to regularly if you live in the area.

Was looking for a place for a simple relaxed, quiet coffee and a light brunch while I planned the day. This place was cozy and had some nice inside and outside seating. Had some eggs and some lattes and spent an hour there. The staff were very friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. It will definitely be a place of note if I'm ever back in the area.

Super tasty burgers, good drinks and great atmosphere. Only problem was waiter that we had to ask for to come to us as he did not seem to be interested at all in getting our order at the beginning and payment at the end. Beside this, great restaurant.

I’ve been here twice — once for dinner upstairs and once for lunch downstairs. The smashburger I had the first time was excellent, easily a 9/10, and the fries were great too. However, the atmosphere upstairs felt a bit cramped and less inviting. During my second visit, I had the steak sandwich, which was less impressive, but the downstairs seating was much nicer. Overall, I’d rate the vibe a 7.

We visited Bonnie's for my son's bday last weekend and had an absolute blast. Beautiful building and ambiance on a corner of the Amstelveensweg. Wood and copper set the tone and give the place a true vintage Parisian bistro vibe. At entrance, where a large bar area welcomes primarily local guests, the buzz is sizzling. The bar area flows over seamlessly into a great dining space with a semi open kitchen where the kitchen staff works relentlessly to cook up absolutely fabulous smash burgers, which were recently selected to be the best burgers in town. The side dishes were also very tasty. We did find the portions of those a little small for the price (a skewer with 3 pieces of pulpo with some greens; 15 euro's). The best burgers in town however were deliciously priced at only 20,- Super friendly and professional staff welcomed us with warmth and congratulated my kid with fireworks on his burger and singing happy birthday with the whole restaurant. That was such a great surprise, thanks again! All in all 5 very well deserved stars for Bonnie, keep it up guys, and girls. We''ll be back for sure, on october 25th to be precise;-) Warm regards, love & light, Arjan & Phoenix

Tried Bar Kosta on a Friday for a quick espresso martini – and it was delicious. So good, in fact, that I came back again for more… and ended up trying the nachos(vegetarian) too, which were just as tasty! It’s a very cool spot – cosy inside with great vibes, and lovely outdoor seating with heaters for when it gets a bit chilly. Perfect for a casual drink, a bite, or a proper catch-up. Definitely a new favourite in Amsterdam!

Nice bar to enjoy a sunny afternoon evening. There are 4-5 rows of outdoor seating that face west so comfortable in the sun. Most of the seating is outside with limited indoor seating. I ordered the bitterballan which was fine and a couple of IPAs. The IPAs were actually quite good. They also have pizza on the menu but I didn’t see anyone that had ordered it. A friendly bartender, and overall it’s a nice spot to have a couple of beers under the sun. That’s all for now.

Had quite a bad and sad experience a couple of weeks ago. We waited longer than 1.5 hours for our food, while having a baby with us due to a mistake they made.. But on top of that, they forgot few dishes, and the pulled pork sandwich I took contained 15% of pulled pork.. I think they were too afraid to say that they had run out so they gave a very sad sandwich.. They gave us some free fries to make it up, which was nice.. I live around the corner but I would never come back nor recommend it any longer to my friends and visitors.

Café Lennep: Where Time Stands Still (and So Do the Staff) If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to age in real-time while waiting for a drink, Café Lennep has you covered. Our first round took 1 hour and 15 minutes, while some snacks miraculously came 2.5 hours later. The staff? Bless them...Lovely people—just completely unaware that they were, in fact, working in a restaurant. Pouring drinks? If you lucky... Clearing tables? Nope, not their job. We ended up bussing our own table while they watched, seemingly still in recovery mode from the all night bender the night before. Honestly, never seen anything like it in Amsterdam before. Highly recommend—if you’ve ever wanted to run your own café without the hassle of owning one. Also great view of the canal.

Came here for a casual brunch. Ordered a hummus toast and chicken salad, which wasn’t complicated at all but took almost 1 hour (it wasn’t busy!). Also they served the food for a table that came later than us as well. The food did taste amazing, but such a shame with the bad service. Also, one of the worst chai latte I’ve had in my life.

Nice terrace by the canal. But we left after 30 minutes because nobody ever came to take our order. Edit: just read their replies to other reviews clearly showing that they are paying for five-star reviews. Calling it a 'Telegram scam' is risible - who else would be paying for reviews except the owners of the restaurant? Explains a lot about this place.

Upon my arrival at Cafe Lennep, I witnessed a charming scene that exemplifies the heart of this place. An older gentleman entered just after me of me, making his way to a table with newspapers. He picked up the Volkskrant and took a seat. Not missing a beat, the owner, stepping out of the kitchen, warmly greeted him. "Could you give him his newspaper?" he asked a server, to which the server replied with a chuckle, "Oh, he's already got it." This brief exchange set the tone for my entire visit. Ever had a meal that lingers in memory? The spicy maple bacon burger at Cafe Lennep was that and more - arguably the best burger of my life. Paired with a sublime burrata salad, it was culinary perfection. It was a daily special, but I hope they make it a part of the menu! The ambiance, especially on their sun-drenched terrace, captures Amsterdam's essence beautifully. It's an idyllic spot for a leisurely Saturday lunch or a cozy evening chat over their impressive beer selections (on tap!!). Yet, it's the service that truly sets Cafe Lennep apart. Despite a full house, they managed expectations flawlessly. A heads-up about potential delays, yet dishes arrived with surprising speed. It's the combination of delectable food, inviting ambiance, and heartwarming service (as evidenced by the newspaper incident) that makes Cafe Lennep a standout. I know I'll be back, and I bet the gentleman with the Volkskrant will be too.

I’ve only not rated the food because I haven’t eaten there, only coffee. But, I’m one of those annoying oat milk snobs so if you’re like me then you’ll probably enjoy the coffee here. Usually I sniff out places with Oatly but they use ROA which I’ve never had before but it tastes great and the coffee is great too. The service is also wonderful. Plus if you time it right they give you you a little cookie with your coffee even if you take it out which is a lovely touch.

Coffee was pretty good. Service was good, the waitress was quick and polite. It's clean inside and looks like a good place to work for a few hours.

The restaurant vibe is amazing, people are nice. We tried the 5 courses chef menu, the starters are ok, cold soup was nice, other sharing dishes with mixed of greens and cheese. but started the from the main course ( my family pick the chicken and I ordered the Vegan foam dish) taste strangely between sweet/ savory, too much flavors in one dish. its very confusing and feel like the chef is trying too hard to put all the ingredients in one dish. Its like question in our head: what is going on here!!! The desserts chocolate ice-cream is weirdly with too much of salt and oil…. It has totally ruined the taste. This tasting menu is rate and cost too high for the quality of food.

This is a lovely wine bar in Amsterdam and should definitely be on any foodies list to try great wine with some tasty small plates. The wine was delicious - I would recommend any of the Orange, especially the mulatscak. The food was good but not outstanding. We had the bread from Louf (the related bakery next door), the sam marzano tomato’s and burrata, the leak vinaigrette and the mustard chicken. The tomato/ burrata dish was very impressive with a complex smokey flavour that paired extremely well with the bread. The leek and chicken dish was good but were nothing special. I saw some reviews about the long waits in between dishes. This is true however in my opinion is not a shortcoming as it allows you to fully appreciate the dishes with your wine which is the central focus of the venue. The ambience is relaxed but sophisticated and the service was friendly and helpful. Overall I had a great experience here and would return.

We discovered Café Binnenvisser through Otto Berlin and ended up having a really lovely evening. The concept is super nice a warm, welcoming atmosphere where hours just seem to pass by without noticing. For starters we had olives, oysters with jalapeño and cucumber, bread with butter, Hokkaido pumpkin with sheep cheese, sage mixed mushrooms with egg yolk and Szechuan, and a steak tartare with ceps and ramson capers. Every dish was carefully presented, and the flavors felt both balanced and exciting. For mains, we went with the kohlrabi with chili de ancho, anise mushroom and the chicken moutarde with La Ratte potatoes and chives. our desserts included chocolate mousse with condensed milk and hazelnuts, as well as kombu ice cream with elderflower and blackberries. These, however, didn’t quite convince us as much as the other courses. The wine selection was fantastic – thoughtful pairings and a great variety – and the beers were just as enjoyable. Food presentation added another layer to the experience, which made it feel special. The only downside was that the service took longer at times, and the desserts could be improved. Still, overall we would definitely come back and highly recommend it. reserving a table is recommended and the prices are very fair! thanks for the nice evening

Came here on a beautiful summer day, and we were seated outside on their gorgeous terrace (recommend you reserve). We got the burrata starter, which was quite decent. We also had the leak vinaigrette - peas dish, which was more like 2 dishes in 1 that did not have much chemistry with each other. Our entrée, the chicken moutarde, was fine — good but nothing special. We had a scoop of ice cream (forgot the flavor) with granola under as dessert. Overall, the food was okay, but I wouldn't urge anyone to come here to try the food. What truly undermined our experience here, however, were the wait times and service. First, the wait time — we waited an hour between the burrata and the peas, and the ANOTHER HOUR between that the entrée. We had to alert the waiters multiple times. Their explanation was that dishes not belonging to the chef's menu would take longer because the kitchen prioritizes the orders belonging to the chef's menu. Which is... honestly just a terrible excuse? Having such long periods in between dishes really undermines the dining experience. Because their outdoor seating is quite far from the indoor restaurant space, you can't catch the attention of a waiter. You can only catch them if they've already made their way to the outdoor area to serve someone, and then they forget to check on you, but you also don't want to say something to grab their attention because that's rude etc etc. It's just a bad vibe, especially if you've been waiting 2 hours for your food.

Cafe Binnenvisser undersells this place. It’s a proper five course set menu hipperati Amsterdam restaurant. Its understated interior makes it a beloved place to sit and be seen amongst the upper crust of vanMoof Amsterdam. And the hype is real. The dishes were each excellent and well balanced. The atmosphere instead felt spacious and special. The duck and the dessert were real high lights as was the leak soup (yes really) One thing that was missing was a good sommelier or wine pairing with the dinner. They only do natural wines, and the ones we tried were not great. The music was also too loud for our liking but that’s apparently their “house style” and we all know the Dutch like to “house” so we just accepted that as par for the course. Could imagine coming back here in a different season to see what they did with the menu, but will be sticking to the beer and perhaps brining some earplugs The cocktails were excellent and it was fun to be in a building that resembled the flat iron in New York, except only three stories. Ask for the seat by the window and make sure to make a reservation ahead of time—binnenvisser wont disappoint

This was a rec from a local friend and it did not disappoint! We opted for a la carte and were blown away by every dish, but especially the tomato which was cooked 4 ways.. wow the sauce was absolutely divine. I believe their menu changes based on seasonal and local ingredients which is probably why everything tasted so fresh. They are sister restaurants to Calisto and Cornerstore which makes sense, everything we had was delicious and we will be coming back the next time we visit !

We will do again!! We found this cruise by watching YouTube. I wish we could credit the couple that toured and suggested. The food looked great online and in person. For such a small prep and serving staff (just 4!), everyone was sat, fed, and checked on regularly. We were sent a link the night before to order our meals and had the option of ordering more than one entree per person for a small extra fee, that was cool because my guy usually eats 2 entrees. The drinks were perfect and we expected them to be light, but after just one I felt tipsy! The seats are low, so you kind of fave to sit up straight to see over the side of the boat. We sat close to the bar to stay out of the direct light under the overhead tarp. Thawte have the ability to close the entire top, but didn't need to.

Beautiful canal boat. Excellent food. Lovely atmosphere and very good value for money. The cruise lasted about 90 minutes. The only downside was that it took quite a long time to serve everybody and we were the last table to get our food so the cruise finished right as we finished eating. The serving staff seemed a bit stressed. That did not however detract from our overall experience. I would highly recommend Miss G’s Brunch Boat.

The setting of this bar bistro is nice, but the pricing left me with a sour impression. I ordered a Caesar salad, which was already quite expensive. The waiter asked if we’d like to add chicken—something I assumed was part of a standard Caesar. We said yes, only to find out on the bill that it added €5, bringing the total to €21. While it may have been mentioned on the menu, it wasn’t clearly communicated at the table, and for a casual place, that price feels hard to justify. Another odd detail: there’s a €0.50 surcharge if you choose decaf coffee. Small, yes, but it adds to the sense that everything extra comes with a hidden cost. The food itself was fine, but overall, the experience felt more expensive than expected for what you get. A bit more transparency would go a long way.

Atmosphere is amazing, there are tables in a deck on the canal, absolutely perfect. I did not book but found a spot there. The food was good, the menu is short and offers some vegan and vegetarian options. It was quite expensive, 97 euros for an entrance, 2 salads and a bottle of tasty natural wine. Service was good, fast and people were kind.

We had Ceaser Salad and Double Smash Burger. The ceaser salad was really good, it was traditional with anchovies, egg ,sauce and everything. The kitchen is open till 22:00. The staff were friendly and the crowd was very nice as well.

Nice hidden gem in Amsterdam west! We sat next to the canal on the terrace to enjoy the sun until late. Drinks are good but we had to ask three times for a portion of fries despite having ordered them together with drinks! It was a Monday evening so not even busy. Pity as it could deserve a 5 stars

Fred’s an amazing choice for your Saturday brunch. I will definitely try more times. The croque madame is delicious and the croissant super crunchy and buttery - French approved. Service is very friendly and nice.
