I also tasted the spicy meat egg rolls and shrimp tempura which were all delicious. They had a nice sweet and spicy chilli sauce to dip everything in and it was really good, although service was slow, which I suppose is expected in Europe by now no? The food was great and for the price, very inexpensive. The bread that came with my soup was homemade and seriously one of the best breads I have ever had, let alone at some random pub! I also had this nice beer called Wieckse which is a nice white beer if thats your thing. The atmosphere here is very chill and easy going, good place to go with friends or for a few hours of drinking/eating and talking. Overall I say this place is nice, relaxed and I would recommend it to anyone staying or living in Amsterdam :-)

Mainly a bar. They do offer a small couch and table t play board games on. Me and my group tried the burger, the BLT and the "toastie" which is grilled cheese and. on the side ordered the red pepper soup. The soup was unusual. It was spicy yet it had mint in it. Did not care for the mint aspect. But the rest of the food was good.

It's such a different vibe than the other bars/restos on this street. Get the meat and cheese plate and a couple of Maes beers. Its a hip spot sans annoying hipsters. True.

After a night walk in Amsterdam, we ate dinner at this place. Recommended by our tour guide…read more The restaurant was packed. Too crowded and so tight to walk on second floor where we ate. But I liked it so much because of the architectural design of classic house built 17th century. The decor is gothic Parisian cafe. We started with appetizers -combo of fresh bread - cheese coquette with salad - lentil green pea soup Main dish - steak - salmon Dessert - chocolate lava cake - cheese cake My favorite was the dessert. It's warm and the moist. The salmon was baked and slightly overcooked and needed salt - bread was average. Overall . It was a good experience. It felt like tapas place in Barcelona.

This place was a lifesaver for us in that they serve a decent meal late at night everything was…read morealready closed or at least an hour wait. Their signatures are their steak, chicken satay, and spareribs. Some questions my parents had...Tournedos (the first four options under the meat main courses) refers to a cut of beef; they're also steaks. Gambas is shrimp. When they say potato chips, they mean fries. Eetcafe 't Pakhuis is a little bistro with a bar on Voetboogstraat (Voetboog Street) that's been running since 1975. It's actually pretty convenient if you're walking along Kalverstraat and looking for something quick and filling. I can't say for how they're like during normal hours though. For us, it was late and we'd been wandering all over the place trying to find something to eat that wasn't booked, closed, or has a mile-long waitlist. We came across this place by accident and it was between 't Pakhuis or Amsterdam Grill next door. There wasn't really anyone there at the time besides one or two other tables, and I ended up being pretty excited that they had satay. Indo-Dutch cuisine was something I wanted to try. It was just a bit unfortunate that I was the only one in my group who wanted to, but a delight nevertheless. The two negative points for us is that (1) the place is pretty dim at night and (2) all of our dishes were cool when it got to us. Lighting was low enough that we all took out our phones in order to read the menu and food was cool that I'm pretty sure they'd been left out to sit for a while. Not completely sure why they're essentially called the Warehouse Eatery(?), but it was good, hardy food and their main courses come with fries and a salad. The combo makes for a solid plate of food. From what I could see, they had multiple rooms and many, MANY tables. This is probably a safe bet to walk-in at.

Although they do offer a discount for the breakfast buffet. Since most travelers want to spend as much time outside viewing each city, we usually look askance at in house dining. However, on our last day, we decided to check out the rooftop views of Amsterdam before leaving. Luckily, it was a clear morning and the 360 views made it worthwhile. The buffet spread had something for everyone and we took the time to slow down and savor the coffee, views, newspaper and selection of food. It's funny, but I think the croissants were the tastiest I have had with a real butter flavor. Even compared to the latter ones in France. If you have time before waiting for your flight or train it's worth it to indulge.

Before starting a tour of the Portuguese Synagogue and Jewish Museum, we wanted to get a quick lunch. Someone in the gift shop of the nearby Horticultural Park pointed us toward Cafe Smit & Voogt. We didn't want anything fancy and this restaurant certainly looked the part. Pros: - Location: Convenient to everything around the Horticultural Park, including the Portuguese Synagogue. - Exterior: Understated. You could easily drive by and not know. - Ambiance: A neighborhood spot. Casual with tables inside and out. - Menu: Moderate size and variety for lunch. Even a few choices for a vegetarian like me. - Food: Very good. Three of us found the Cafe and all were pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the food we ordered. Far from fancy, but filling and flavorful. - Service: Very friendly and helpful. Everyone spoke English and could not have been better to these tourists from California. - Price and Value: Very worthwhile. - Parking: I can't say, but the neighborhood is very walkable. Reminded us of the Marina District in San Francisco (without the nearby ocean). An Important Note: About 5 minutes after our group of 3 left, one person tripped over a curb, fell and hit the side of her forehead. She and her husband went back to the restaurant where they provided bandages, ointment and a bag of ice to help with the injury. That's service!
