I ordered three things, crossiant with honey, crepe with ham and an egg (additional charge) and homemade fruit and vegetable juice. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! I immediately demolished the crossaint and quickly decided I would order one more for the road. I added sea salt and pepper to the crepe, and it elevated the meal. Truly, truly excellent meal for the money. Without the extra crossaint, (1.80 €) my total meal came to 12.60 € without tax or tip. Plus I was able to charge my phone!

Charming French cafe owned and operated by the one and only Lorraine!…read more We came here for breakfast, as it was super close to our apartment and couldn't resist how adorable it is. Chez Lorraine is very small and quaint. There were only two larger tables and the other tables were meant for two people. We were lucky to arrive at the right time, to snag a bigger table for the three of us; but I did see that Lorraine had to turn down people because of how packed the place was. It's a popular spot in the Jordaan neighborhood. I ordered the crepe with ham, cheese and an egg and a matcha latte. For later I purchased one of the bottled smoothies that you can get to-go. Food took a bit to get because Lorraine is literally a one-woman show. She takes the orders and you can see her in the kitchen making everything fresh. The crepe with ham, cheese and egg was very light yet fresh and tasty. The cheese was the best part of the crepe, as it was thick and held everything together. Crepe was the perfect texture. Nothing was overly flavorful, so I really tasted each and every ingredient. The matcha latte was also nice, with a distinct matcha flavor that you hope for whenever you get a matcha drink. Chez Lorraine is a wonderful neighborhood cafe with a simple French menu for breakfast and lunch. Despite how small the space is, it is very inviting. I loved how Lorraine knew many of the locals dining in. Every neighborhood needs this kind of place.

We went up to the top floor that was lovely, unfortunately the front of the building was under construction so we had a background noice but it wasn't that bad. The only thing was the bill, actually, the was no bill. When we were about to pay, we went down to the cashier who just gave us whatever price that came to her head, no receipt, just price. Needless to say it's wasn't the price showed on the menu. We did not came back.

I arrived early and they sat me right away-- while I was hoping for an outdoor table, they sat inside and eventually transitioned us when more space opened up. While I was waiting, I ordered a Matcha latte with almond milk, which was a nice balance of earthy and sweet. For my entrée, I ordered the vegetarian breakfast which came with two eggs which you can get either poached scrambled or sunny side up as well as sourdough toast, halloumi cheese, avocado, and potatoes. It was very hearty and I was full. The one thing that I know if you're sitting outside is to be mindful of the wasps, and the tables are relatively close to other people so your conversation will likely be heard.

World's coziest table & bench, but cute. The restaurant itself is petite and homey. The candles were lit and the lighting was dim. Lots of folks were here enjoying themselves. Food was fine. Not terribly inspired, but comforting on a blustery day. The menu is limited for non meat eaters or pescatarians. Drinks were good. Service was friendly. A cute neighborhood cat made a visit. That was a highlight. Overall, this was a good experience.

It is so incredibly cozy inside, and you will want to stay and hang out for hours. The service was great, and they have a very well-curated menu including plenty of vegetarian options. We each went with one of their pot pies and they were amazing. I am still dreaming about the mushroom one! Don't miss out on the triple ginger cake for dessert - it is an absolute must. I wish we lived closer so that we could come all the time! Definitely be sure to make a reservation, as I can see how it could get busy inside, especially on a weekend.

Which makes me wonder... do faeries claim nationalities? I hope not. There's a minuscule indoor seating area, but come spring and summer - as long as it's not raining - you'll want to move on back to the very leafy and verdant outdoor terrace. If you're lucky, the one table that gives you rain protection but is still technically outdoors will be available. I was lucky. And it did sprinkle while I was there. I can't speak to the food. I only had fresh mint tea, served with honey and a teensy cookie. Let me tell ya... it was the day after Amsterdam's hottest day in recorded history and the entire city was just tuckered out. Feeble even. That's why I asked for ice and made my hot tea into an iced mint tea. Re-freshing! The menu offerings are limited but apparently satisfying judging from my dining companions' happy faces. The two women caring for us were terrific about setting the friendly tone. Recommend exploring around this charming spot on Utrechtsestraat for clothing and specialty shops and other highly rated eateries, including some Michelin-rated.
