What a fabulous little pub with a wonderful local craft beer and cider list! The waiter/bartender…read morespoke English very well with us and was more than happy to make food and drink recommendations. There was no table for our party of 5 but he let us sit at a table that was reserved for someone who wouldn't be there for a bit. Great vibe, music and decor. It felt like a lot of locals hanging out there and everyone was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend going a little out of your way to visit. We took an Uber from Central Station to Joost and it was about 20€, worth it since it was pouring down rain. This place was recommended to our friend by a brewer!

Nestled in the vibrant Czaar Peter neighborhood of Amsterdam-Oost, Café Czaar is a warm and…read morewelcoming spot. Expect a delightful mix of Dutch and European cuisine, with dishes ranging from comforting soups and ribs to tasty vegetarian and vegan options. Their bitterbatten and fried polenta are musts, and the Moscow mule is just as impressive. Best burger you'll ever have and tagliatelle you won't forget. Service is A-1. Café Czaar is also a lively social hub--there's always something happening. It's the kind of place where you can grab a casual lunch, meet friends for drinks, or join in on the fun late into the evening. If you're in Amsterdam-Oost and craving good vibes, great food, and a touch of local charm, Café Czaar is definitely worth a visit.

Came here on our first day in Amsterdam. Our hotel was right across the street from here and we…read morearrived at an odd time, so almost everything was closed until dinner. This was one of the few places we found that were open. It's kind of like a pub that also serves food. We were able to get seated immediately and we ordered a few items to hold us over until dinner. We ordered the beef carpaccio and the shrimp stew (forgot the name). They were both very tasty and we were satisfied. It is far from the main Amsterdam area, so it's probably not something you would come across on a visit to Amsterdam, but it was nice overall and I would recommend it.

Sweet potato fries were fresh, hot, and real.

Soft tacos were blue corn shells but flavorless. This place serves tapas-style so you get 3 tiny tacos about the size of the palm of my hand. Service was friendly, menus have no English. Vibe is trendy, noise level on a Friday night after 10 pm--through the roof. If noise doesn't bother you the place is great fun, good for people-watching too. The outside patio of smokers is as big as the interior space of Louie Louie, and it is packed . Big downside is you have to pass through that to enter the restaurant. But this situation is Amstetdam. It is a trendy bar serving better than average snacks, and has good vegetarian choices. Overall I recommend Louie Louie.

The ham and cheese were cold on the side, which prevented the warm tummy feel you want with starting the day. The place opened at 9am but the kitchen doesn't open til 10am. It took, the staff a couple of visits to advise us of such. Not a huge deal, since we arrived around 940am. We had coffee & juice then ordered food at 5 til. The orders were up quickly. The eggs were on point, the cheese and meat were cold but tasty, the croissants old/ overcooked. Fruit was fresh... one berry had leaves on it, we asked what it was and she told us she wasn't sure but it's not very good, it's bitter. She was right, definitely more for garnish than eating! Service was pretty good, though there was a rough start. Overall, I say ok. I would go back, just not for breakfast. I'd love to find out what the deal is with the burger being raved about.

It was pretty packed in there we were greeted at the door immediately and sat immediately which was nice. We ordered the French onion soup and the burger. Im not sure why I ordered the French onion soup considering we were going to France. Anyhow it was not how I pictured it or how it's made in the US. The soup had two pieces of bread on the top of the soup served with two slices of brown bread on the side. So there wasn't any cheese on top like what I'm used to. The only cheese was the very small amount that had on the small pieces of bread. Well I thought guess it's made different in Amsterdam. It was actually bland it needed salt, I guess maybe because im used to it with lots of cheese. It was still good just not what I was expecting. The burger was something else, it was delicious. They cooked it perfectly it was full of juiciness and lots of good flavors. Simple burger with toasted sesame bun. The fries oh the fries, it was so crispy and good, I couldn't stop eating them. Service was great. Overall good experience and if you're in the area nice to have a late night spot.
