    Cozy cafe and bar with friendly staff and good views! Popped in for a quick cafe while I was in the city for work and this place was definitely worth stopping in. I ordered a latte macchiato and sat outside. Even though it was a little chilly outside, the coffee and views were definitely worth it. The staff was extremely friendly and helped with any questions I had. This place is centrally located to a lot of things so there's tons to see before or after you stop in for a coffee, beer or food. Don't miss it!

    I always make a point of hitting this increadibly awesome cafe when ever I am in the great city of Amsterdam. Like an old friend, this place hardly changes and is always a comfort to greet. This laid back brown cafe offers fresh, inventive, and inexpensive gastro-stryle grub situated in a warm homey environment. Service is friendly and inviting. I could linger here drinking beer after beer all day long -- and I do! On a recent visit, I had the pleasure of ordering their insanely delicious Gruyere fondue which was a steal because, at 13 Euro, it easily feeds two people. But really, all the food I've ever had here is outstanding. They use only fresh local ingredients and the menu tends to lean towards a vegitarian-friendly crowd -- although, I've had a mean steak there as well. I do however miss the cat that used to perch himself on the window sill by the tables in the back!!

    Seafood linguini with dill cream sauce

    A cute pub/cafe along the canals of Amsterdam and within walking distance of the Anne Frank House! There's both an indoor pub area and an outdoor sitting area next to the canal. Their menu seems pretty basic, so I ordered their daily specials - seafood linguini and nasi goreng. Both were pretty good! The bitterballen were like hot deep fried balls of gravy and made for a good appetizer. Service is a little slow, but friendly.

    Meatball with bread and smoke salmon salad
    Amy T.

    I've tried 2 dishes at Cafe De Prins. The meatball with bread was surprisingly flavorful and tasty. The smoked salmon and asparagus was soggy and hard to finish. Both had great presentation and the service was excellent. The server and owner came out to check on us during our visit. We also noticed a lot of locals eating here and even coming by just to say hello. My husband and I enjoyed our 1 and half hour dinner on the patio eating where the locals ate. I would stay away from the salads and try their other items. Since I've only tried 2 things, I can only give a 3.5 out of 5 since the 1st dish was delicious, while 2nd dish wasn't satisfactory. However, when I do return to Amsterdam, I would go back and try other items on the menu. The prices are affordable, the view is beautiful and the people are wonderful.

    Had a plate of the fluffiest, spongiest, golden-est (unsure if that's a taste or a feature, but they were golden!) poffertjes (mini pancakes) here. Excellent choice and very generous serving.

    Cafe de Prins is a very easygoing place to go for a drink or dinner. They serve a selection of dishes and vary their menu on a daily and weekly basis with a 'daghap' (daily dish) for always 10 euro, and a 'week special'. Don't expect too fancy food, but good food for a fair price in a friendly atmosphere. Here you can have the real dutch Snert (pea soup) or a good steak. The pasta with pumpkin was not the best I ever had, but the fries I stole from my friend were very nice. The waiters are very authentic and prompt. The public is quite diverse, which makes this place also fun for people-watching. A good place to go with some friends, probably not the best place for a first date, except maybe when you are a student ;-).

    Fresh squeezed OJ and Heineken
    Amanda S.

    Came here on our food tour as the last stop and I must say, the poffertjes here is a MUST! They are like egg puffs but Dutch version. This is a bad hit they had this awesome puffers served here. Not too sweet but such amazing texture. My friends also liked their Heineken, which tastes a lot more bitter back in the states so it was well received here. I had an orange juice and surprised it was fresh squeezed! Yum! Lots of seating and has two restrooms downstairs.

    Cheese fondue

    The food was very, very good. The bartender was super nice and helpful; very sweet. It was a bit busy so service was slow. We ordered an appetizer that we never got; I cancelled the order. I had to remind on the water requested. Overall a very positive experience with excellent food. I recommend.

    Chick Pea Pancake with Cashews, Walnuts & Red Cabbage and sweet spicy compote
    GraceWasThere I.

    We did not expect much at first. The menu selections were few but what drew us here was the available seating near the canal. But, it turned out they had a few specials and one of them was the grilled pork chop with mustard potato salad. That was amazingly good! The pork chop was cooked perfectly - juicy and crispy on the outside. Lots of flavor and a decent size piece of meat. The girl next to me ordered the chick pea pancake. That intrigued me so I ordered it, too. Turned out to be delicious! It had cashew nuts, walnuts and shredded red cabbage. And, then a sweet spicy compote that tied all the flavors together.

    We enjoyed sitting in the front window at the bar, plus the fondue is delicious. The fondue is definitely enough for 2 people.

    Great location. Laid back atmosphere. Waitress had called it n sick and the bartender was none too happy. Food was fine, prices decent.

    My husband and I were walking around the De Pijp neighbourhood on a Saturday afternoon and was…read morelooking for a quick lunch. We have heard of Donnies, but have never been so thought this was a good opportunity to try it out. Food: Since we were looking for a light lunch we decided to share the large size of the Kapsalon Kip. The Kapsalon Kip has responsibly raised chicken, hot sauce, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, jalapeños, cheese and wait for it...french fries! It's definitely big enough for two people and SO DELICIOUS! We kept saying "OMG, this is so good". Drinks: We ordered two ice teas and one beer. If you're a beer lover they have craft beers on their menu. Price: €19.35 Service: Service started out pretty slow when we arrived. No one came to us for 10 minutes and I went outside myself to get the menus off the tables there to see what to order. But once they realised we were there and took our order the service picked up. The waitress in the end was nice and friendly. Ambiance: It was pretty quiet on the Saturday afternoon we were there. The space is very nice and well done. Definitely the nicest doner kabab house I've ever been to. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.

    OH YES!! What a treat :) finally a girl friendly junk food option .. And a very healthy one, so…read moreforget about the junk part. Great flavor, exotic add ons, craft beers and ... very hot waiters :-)) GO GO GO
