We…read morealso had yet to have apple pie in Amsterdam and that was very important to us and I stumbled across this place so we decided to try it. This was really the only place we ate at in Amsterdam that we felt like was frequented by locals rather than tourists. We dined outside and it was a nice night so that worked out just great. My husband had the calamari and he especially enjoyed the lemon aïoli that came with it. I had the salad and it was excellent. I loved the dressing and the grapes and it just worked. My son had cheese sticks which he thoroughly enjoyed. We finished with the apple pie, which everyone enjoyed and my son said was his favorite thing he ate the whole trip. Overall, it was a really cute and cozy place with great food and a local feel.

Looked directly across the street and thought that place looks quaint and authenticate. The young man serving me was cordial and attentive. On his advice, I had the meatball and mashed potatoes dutch comfort food plate. Hearty and delicious. Washed it down with a couple tasty, large beers. Loved Amsterdam and this place. Would go back to both in a heartbeat. Side note, hate to make a pitch for Apple, but I incurred no foreign transaction or currency fees using their card traveling thru Switzerland, Germany, and Amsterdam. Plus, the sync with Wallet is a great piece of mind. Quick notification of charge, business name, and location on maps. No need to reconcile paper copies when I got back home.

Kop van jut is located in a bit of a busy tourist area convenient to a tram stop but the outdoor seating was comfortable. We had a potato and meatball dish with sauerkraut which was delicious (although the meatball was dry) and unique, a schnitzel dish, and mussels. The variety was fantastic and our waitress was really sweet. I appreciate that you can make reservations ahead of time especially since there were six of us!

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.

We came across this small restaurant/bar while staying in Amsterdam and were very happy with this…read morefind! This is a very casual, and relaxed place which has a variety of Dutch food on their menu. Service was top notch. Both the bartender and waiter were friendly and welcoming. They answered all our questions about the menu options/ daily specials and got our orders in very quickly. We ordered a bottle of red wine to split for a table of four which was a perfect portion. For food we tried: Stamppot: traditional Dutch dish that has mashed potatoes and sauerkraut topped with sausage. This was delicious! It was highly recommended by the bartender and I'm glad we listened to her suggestion. The mashed potatoes and sauerkraut combination is divine since it's like mashed potatoes with a little extra texture and a mildly pickled taste. The sausage was very good as well. Really flavorful without being too salty. This was my first time trying this dish so I don't have an established baseline but I thought this was a very hearty, delicious and comforting dish. Steak with mushrooms: my parents shared this and, although they loved the flavor of the pepper sauce, they thought the meat was a little bit overdone. Portion size was very nice and came with a little side salad. Kipsaté (Chicken skewers): I ordered this and really liked it! Three chicken skewers with this delicious thick, mildly sweet peanut sauce. It was nice to get a little taste of the Indonesian influence on Dutch culture. The skewers were prepared very nicely, the chicken was super juicy, lean, and tender. It came with a side salad, some pickled cabbage, and prawn chips which also were amazing. Very complete dish and really filling! Side of fries: we shared some fries with the table and I loved them. They were crispy on the outside and felt a little on the drier side on the inside which is my preference. Perfectly salted, not oily. Super solid fries! Side of grilled vegetables of the day: nice medley of broccoli, zucchini, and haricot verts. Super flavorful but a little oily for my taste. Overall still good though and didn't hurt my stomach :) Profiteroles: shared these for dessert and they were amazing. Three little dough pieces that were a little crispy with ice cream and a delicious chocolate sauce. Not like profiteroles I've tried before since the dough was a little different and didn't quite feel like a "puff" but more like a meringue. Still a great dessert to share and experience. Overall really liked this place! Thought the ambiance was very lowkey and cute, the service was very nice, and the food was solid. I also loved how this was in an area that seemed a little bit more calm than other parts of the city. Would come back again!

Oh boy. I planned…read morethis place for dinner on our first night because it received very high ratings and recommendations from multiple sources. It was also one of the closer places to our hotel but everything is relative and it was still quite a hike. We arrived in Amsterdam in the evening on a day that just so happens to be King's Day so it was an absolute shitshow everywhere. Despite being very annoying to GF and I, the debauchery that was going on all around us in every direction was more tolerable to us born in the last century than my square elderly parents who were absolutely appalled and disturbed. After what felt like the journey on Last of Us, we finally made it through the crowds of drunk people, dodging broken bottles and crushed cans all over the place to arrive at Rosereijn Eetcafe. The entire walk, the internal terror built as I could feel my mother's rage seeping out of every pore. Given the crowds I was very concerned there would be no tables available but the restaurant gods appreciated my plight and we were able to take one of the last tables in the back. It's on the smaller side and definitely...snug. We were seated essentially in the walkway from the kitchen so not ideal but I would've taken a seat on the toilet. The place was crowded and busy so it took a minute for our table to be cleaned and then for us to get menus. The staff did a pretty good job given the circumstances. I LOVE the vegetarian options and traditional dutch items. GF and I started with the vegan bitterballen which I was really excited to try. As this was my first time trying it, I had literally zero frame of reference whatsoever but they were very good with a very creamy and savory center. It took effort for me to not blow through them before GF got a chance to eat them but you know what they say: you snooze, you lose. My dad ordered a soup which he enjoyed. For our mains, GF and I shared the vegetarian meal of the day (extra brownie points for this) and fries. My mom ordered the chicken satay and my dad, the veggie burger. My mom thought the satay sauce was a little too sweet but otherwise, we all enjoyed our meal but nothing to lose your shit about. The inside is quaint and quirky and I think the money is in their traditional food items.

I finally had to ask someone if we could order some cappuccinos and tea. It was just the two of us and we were seated at the window, as opposed to at a table or outside. With that said, the food was very tasty. I had the Croque Madame. i will say that once we did order our food, it came out fairly fast. Getting the bill also took a really long time. It was close to closing time. And maybe they were trying to wrap things up. again, i had to ask for the bill. Again, i'm not sure if this was their way of saying, "No rush" or it was neglect. It felt like neglect. Since I'm not sure, i will not take any stars away. just keep this in mind. if i had waited as long at home, I would have given Ted's three stars because of the lack of attentiveness. It was if we weren't there.
