You can find better restaurants for traditional Dutch food. We wanted one last traditional Dutch dinner before we left, but we should have looked elsewhere. The food was just okay and the service was not very friendly. It is also cash only, we saw many surprised customers trying to pay who were unaware of this. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE/RUDE OWNER/VERY EXPENSIVE... Came with my wife and two friends(one of which is pregnant) and before we had a chance to sit down we felt very unwanted. We simply came in to have some teas and small snacks. The owner brought us a food menu and asked if we were going to eat and we said we are going to have something small. We then tried to find the drinks on the menu but couldn't find them so we asked for a drinks menu and then she blew up on us asking if we were eating and we explained to her again that we were. She still didn't seem to understand us and told us that her restaurant is for people wanting to eat and that there is a bar down the road and if we want drinks then to go there. My friend is obviously pregnant so if she would have taken a second to at least listen to what we were saying then maybe she wouldn't get a bad review. read more

We went to this restaurant expecting to eat something typical Dutch. We were very disappointed because they didn't have several of the most typical dishes, so I had to eat a steak with french fries ... My partner ask for the fish, the soles were very small. I don't think we go back again knowing that there is a risk that the typical food is finished again. read more

One of the smallest restaurants we've been to but maybe one of the best flavor profiles we've tasted. Sausage and mash potatoes mixed with sauerkraut. I know it sounds out of bounds but mixed with their gravy and bacon bits just out of this world. My wife had grandma's casserole. Don't be fooled by the name as it is delish. The pot roast is so soft and juicy mixed with boiled potatoes with a side of raisin infused pickles beets. Gone to heaven and back. Xo read more

See all

I am travelling a lot for business and I eat almost everything but here you need really to be without any food taste or food love. We were on the rush and we dropped here as it was on our path to central station. We wantd d something fast and we ordered an hamburger and a toast. The food appearance is comical but the worst us the taste. The bun was just taken out of the fridge, low quality cheap and tasteless. The meat had a strange taste (was flavored with an I unidentified spice). Everything poured in a greasy mayonnaise and ketchup. We ordered also chips and they managed to surprise me: the chips were even more awful than the hamburger. I couldn't believe it, they were fried many times. The internal part was a kind of dry stuff... I prohibit my children to eat it. It is really hard to believe I eate in the same place of the other reviews. Definitely stay out of this place.... read more

Bistro Bij Ons - This an hamburger .... - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

If in Amsterdam you should definitely visit Café Luxembourg. Great Brassiere, excellent food and if you want to people watch - sit on the patio. Whenever we travel to Holland we make a stop here for sure. Stampot for my family is know as Stumpot - Basically boiled cabbage and potato with some farmer sausage. You may also want to try (harder to find) Boerenkool mit wurst. Soft boiled Kale (all the rage these days) with mashed and sausage. The dutch have been eating Kale for years. Eet smakalek. Jay read more

5 stars for the food. Service could have been much friendlier. But the food!! Stamppot with veggie/bean mash was excellent. Warmed my belly on this cold rainy day. Also tried their vegetable soup with meatballs and bread. Broth was delicious and meatballs were well seasoned. Packed with kale, cauliflower, scallion rings, carrot (and veg still crispy with a crunchy bite which was surprising). Do try this place! read more

On our first night in Amsterdam, my bf and I wanted to try some authentic Dutch food so we decided to come here. The service was super friendly and our waitress was happy to give us recommendations and was generally very nice and accommodating. I ordered the traditional Dutch stamppot which was essentially just mashed potatoes with a giant meatball. Sounds simple but it was delicious and very hearty! Bf got the beef stew which came with potatoes and cabbage. Also very good and hearty. The food here isn't out of this world but it was reasonably priced and the great service was very much appreciated by two Americans who didn't speak a lick of Dutch. read more

This restaurant was a few doors down from our hotel. The service was very friendly and the food was just okay. I was not impressed with the mashed potatoes. They should have been called sauerkraut with some potato mixed in. read more

Ouch.... Our last meal in town, and we ended up here. There are so many better places for dutch food. We ordered the stampot, and had to send it back because the meatball was frozen (yes, rock solid in the center). The "shippers's delight" ordered because it was different and interesting was a bust. hard, tasteless peas and fatty bacon nodules. Yuk. Even the jenever was bottom shelf. The kitschy menus and decor try to make it homey, but the indifferent diner-like service just doesn't pull it off. So sad... read more

Cozy neighborhood gem that seems to be a favorite with locals. Dropped by on a Saturday night and the place was packed but still was able to grab a table for two quickly. Split the farmer steak which was well prepared, covered with well seasoned onions and mushrooms, and served with ubiquitous frites... Not a destination but would definitely return if I was in the neighborhood read more

Bistro Bij Ons - Farmers steak - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Fantastic authentic Dutch comfort food with cozy vibes (bathed in red light, ironically) I was here a few months ago in cold weather and it was a huge relief from the chilly rainy outdoors when we stepped inside. The friendly server recommended the stamppot and Mom's Stewed Beef when we asked for traditional Dutch cuisine. Unsure of what to expect in traditional Northern European cuisine (not the best reputation amongst Asians and Asian foodies, from my experience), my mom and I were pleasantly surprised as we enthusiastically gobbled down our piping warm and filling dinners. We enjoyed the atmosphere, service was great, and food left a very positive impression of Dutch cuisine! read more

Ambiance was ok, service good and food was fast, hot and well seasoned. Price was reasonable so overall would recommend! read more

Bistro Bij Ons - Farmer chicken schnitzel - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

My husband and I stumbled upon this little bistro after visiting the Anne Frank House. What a gem! The atmosphere is very casual and inviting, just as you'd expect at an old friend's grandmother's home. My goodness, the food. It was excellent. We had the garlic butter and bread to start (amazing). My husband had Granny's Casserole (stewed beef with Dutch herbs and onions served with red cabbage and boiled potatoes), and I had the Chicken Schnitzel (with farmer fries and a Dutch salad). Perfection. The food was perfect after being out in the cold rain for over an hour waiting in the Anne Frank line. But it would have been just as perfect regardless of the situation. Excellent food, excellent service and excellent ambiance. If we come back to Amsterdam, we'll for sure be coming back here! read more

Bistro Bij Ons - Chicken Schnitzel and Granny's Casserole. Uitstekend! - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I've had a positive experience each of the three times I've been here. The staff has always been friendly and sometimes even humorous. Their own white beer made me an instant convert when I first tried it. I had it again yesterday, and it is still perfectly balanced. If you're looking for comfort food, you will find it here. Go for the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup or stamppot. They have chicken saté, too, though I haven't tried it yet. Their fries and mayo are excellent, too. read more

Fucking horrible. The food is even worse ... chicken sate is burnt to a crisp. Steak is like chewing on a shoe. The staff is not allowed to keep their tips!!!! Are you freaking kidding me? What self respecting employer treats their staff like this? Horrible place, horrible owners, horrible horrible. read more

Came here for a drink with some friends. Drinks tasted very good but the service wasn't the best. Not bad but a little slow considering that they seemed to have a full staff and not many patrons. I've never had food here but I would recommend this place for a quick drink. read more

Bistro Bij Ons - The middle drink is the old Cuban very good - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

One of the best places I visited in Amsterdam. The food was good, but the people and the atmosphere were awesome. Felt like home. Not too loud, not too quiet, and everyone happy and having fun. read more

Awful. One of my worst restaurant experiences ever, and I've eaten in a lot of restaurants. Waited over an hour for mainly substandard food.

Regarding to some recommendations this shall be the best dutch restaurant in amsterdam, so we had to try it out. And in a real dutch restaurant I had to order the Stamppot, this time with stewed beef. Hell yeah, this was sooo delicious. The venue itself is a kind of homelike mummys kitchen. I really like this style, with the classic interior and the little bit dark country house atmosphere. But it is modern as well with the open kitchen and the funny and kind team. Really a nice restaurant where you have to go to if you are staying in amsterdam and want to have some great dutch food. read more

Came here after visiting the Anne Frank House It was highly recommended by a random, kind, local women we asked on the street. Being it was our second night in Amsterdam we wanted to try traditional dutch food, and she told us we MUST try it here. It was crowded with both locals and tourists on a Friday night. The restaurant itself is tiny and cozy, yet loud and lively. Walking inside is like walking into a Dutch home kitchen, especially because the owner (who herself is an enthusiastic and warm women) is there walking around greeting, and hugging everyone like they are family. She really made us feel welcome and right at home! Though the restaurant was full, and the only available table was reserved, our server was nice enough to squeeze us in. We forgot to order an appetizer (oops!) but as our entree's I chose the Dutch stamppot with beef stew, and my mom went with the chicken schnitzel. I stole a bite of the chicken and it was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly breaded, it came accompanied with a side of lovely thick and crispy french fries. While the chicken was good, the stamppot was what really stood out! The beef stew was deliciously seasoned, and the beef was so tender! The mashed potatoes with gravy were so fluffy and the sauerkraut that was mixed in was the perfect finishing touch! The portions were huge and reasonably priced though most of my plate was filled with potatoes rather than meat, the amount of meat they give you is also very generous. We were pretty hungry, and I generally have a big appetite, but though they were delicious I was only able to finish half the portion of potatoes due to how filling they are and just to give you an idea of the portion sizes! For dessert we shared an order of the mini puff pancakes with butter and powdered sugar. They were really just mini versions of breakfast pancakes but they were good nonetheless! We shared one order and it was plenty for 2 of us! Service was fast, warm and hospitable. The servers made sure we had everything we needed at all times. They gave us enough time after seating to look over the menu and decide, and the food and drinks came out quickly. We never felt rushed, no matter how busy it was, we never felt like they were pushing us to pay and leave. We were able to sit and relax after finishing eating. Such a lovely Dutch restaurant! I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a filling and tasty, traditional Dutch meal in Amsterdam! read more

Carla and Esther make eating here fun. The food is simply lekker. Be sure to reserve a table. I'm sure to return for more Dutch comfort food. read more

Want to taste real oldfasioned Dutch food? This is the place. The food is good, real and almost (almost!) as good as my mom's. I wonder if the staff's Amsterdam spirit and humor travels very well in English but at least you're up for a cheerful evening. read more

We loved this place. The owner is absolutely the best. Engaging and funny. She even gave us a slice of her wonderful Dutch chocolate cheesecake to celebrate our recent wedding. It was to die for. Food was wonderful as well! If we visit Amsterdam again we will surely go back. read more

I will start by saying that the traditional Dutch food we ordered was great and that added a star to this review. Others have mentioned the decor as well which is well arranged and comfortable. The reason that I would never go back to this place and warn every person possible to avoid this place is the service. Not only was the server rude to us but we felt almost uncomfortable with how rude she was to every customer in the place. It was the unfriendliness to her tone when she asked if we were ready to order or what we wanted to drink and when I asked for a spoon she tossed it into the soup rather than handing it to me. The biggest compliant on my side was with regard to an order of bread which ended up on my bill. When the dinner was brought to the table, she also brought bread. We ordered soup and two mains so we just thought this was part of the meal. We didn't ask for it but some nice restaurants do that. Half way through the meal she asked if we ordered the bread and I said no and she answered back that it was her mistake and then left. To my surprise when the bill came, the bread was on the bill. Her response was that she asked if I ordered it and I said no, but I ate it and so wanted to keep it. She ended up removing it from the bill, however I have not been so offended by the service level of a restaurant that I can remember. We left this place bitter and not happy with our first meal in Amsterdam. The kind of feeling where you question if you really just dropped 40€ on that place. I am taking this as an isolated service issue to this restaurant as I have heard such great things about so many restaurants in this city. I would avoid coming here and try somewhere else. read more

What a great cozy restaurant! Thanks to Yelp, we had most memorable dinner in Amsterdam! Can't remember the name but the sausage was it was so good we had to order extra even thro we were so full! Fall in love with Amsterdam for many many reasons. I am sure we will be back! read more

Best meal of our week in Amsterdam. Carla and staff were welcoming and warm. The occasional breakout in song entertaining. We had the Stamppot and the peas with bacon. So good! We will be back on our next trip. read more

Got Granny's Casserole and couldn't have been happier. Tasted amazing. Also loved the cute ambiance of the place. Was very impressed!

Overpriced and extremely slow service. We waited over an hour for "authentic Dutch food" that was mediocre at best. So dissapointed that we wasted part of our last day in Amsterdam here! read more

We've waited for more than half an hour for our food and when we asked why it takes so long he just said he forgot about it. No,no place!

Good place for a group ...much to loud for a couple...food/service No bettre than good read more

We wanted to have Dutch food. This place is cozy and nice. Menu has a number of Dutch specialties. Wine selection on existent which was fine. You don't come here for the wine. But the food was very good. Filling. Tasty. Service was also great. And they accommodated my friends vegetarian request. Two thumbs up. read more

Since I came to Amsterdam I have wanted to try traditional Dutch food, this place is within walking distance from Anne frank's house, after waiting in line for two hours at the museum it is always a good idea to try some Dutch food, I had stamppot it tasted delicious to me as I never tried Dutch food before, I had too the pea soup which was alright. They brought the soup late after I finished my main course and hence couldn't really have the soup. It gets busy and sometimes u can't find a table. read more

We arrived at the restaurant and we greeted with a friendly face but that was the last good thing about this place. It took 30 minutes for them to come and take our order both drinks and food. We then waited a further 40 minutes and then as we were starving asked that if our food wasn't ready that could we have some bread and butter. After they brought us that they then came and told us they'd made a mistake with our order didn't really explain what that problem was and when we asked how long our food was going to be we'd waited over an hour now. They said sorry and that the bread was on the house. We then waited another 15 minutes before the food finally came which was the starters of two soups which were way to hot to eat and had obviously just been poured from a pot so no idea why it'd tasked so long. Then our mains arrived and we were utterly disappointed the food was terrible they poured beef stew that looked almost like dog food over chips, the trio special was three pans of potato mixed with some form of veg and little piece of meat. It tastes bland and like baby food. We only ate the food that we did as we'd been walking round all day and were so hungry. Then we realised it was nearly 10pm and we needed to pick up our luggage before 10 or they would close. So we asked if the dessert we'd ordered could be taken off the bill as we needed to pay and leave. Not then came the next problem,we tried every card we had and they said they didn't take credit card well none of had credit cards when we asked what cards they took the man at the bar said only debit cards so when I asked what kind he got annoyed with me and said debit cards only so I said I have debit mastercard he said no only maestro well none of us had this one type of card they accepted. So when I asked if we can get cash he rudely said where the cash machine was. We paid over 100 euros for the terrible food and left feeling totally ripped off and off we didn't need to leave to collect our luggage I would have stayed to complain as the food was not worth that price at all. Please do not eat here! read more

Very quaint place with typical Dutch comfort food. Stumbled into this place by accident and we were pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff and good quality food. read more

This place is cute.. and what do cute restaurants mostly have in common? Small spaces! Yes, this place is tiny, and takes reservations.. but when in town and walking around, I just popped in to see if they could seat little old me... :) I had a 20 minute wait and was ready to get my Dutch grub on! I ordered the Stamppot as I'm told that's as traditional as it can get! Served with a hearty smoked sausage, this dish was a no frills and garnish type of place. The dish came out and in the dimmly lit restaurant, I could make out a plate of mashed potatoes mixed up with some carrots and such, with a huge sausage, and the entire thing smothered in gravy. As simple as a thought the dish was, it was quite tasty! The smokiness of the sausage, mixed with the smooth potates and mild flavor of the gravy really made this a great treat! I warmed up quite fast, and was ready to take on the icey cold weather outside, as I walked around after :) read more
