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.

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.

Located on Nieuwezijds Kolk, just a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station and the historic…read moreheart of the city, Mortimer occupies a convenient position between the canal district and Amsterdam's main transportation hub. The exterior blends naturally into the surrounding streetscape of traditional Dutch buildings to the point that we almost missed it - it's a cozy, townhouse-feel, with large front windows allowing plenty of daylight into the restaurant. Inside, the space feels cramped yet cozy, with a bright, café-style design that prioritizes natural light but preserves old furnishings. It's a two-story setup with closely-packed tables, crafting an intimate atmosphere. At around noon on a Friday, the restaurant was full, so my walk-in party of three waited around fifteen minutes before a table opened up. The menu is firmly centered around breakfast and brunch, with a selection of egg dishes, pancakes, sandwiches, pastries, specialty coffee, and lighter lunch fare. The offerings lean contemporary and international rather than traditionally Dutch, and portions are substantial without being excessive (not an American diner by any means), and the menu balances healthier options with more indulgent brunch classics. It's the sort of place where nearly every table seems to have a combination of coffee, eggs, and something sweet. One friend ordered their Dutch Caesar Sandwich (€16.75), which was a gargantuan sandwich atop hearty toasted sourdough, crisp Romaine lettuce, chicken salad, and a tangy 48-month aged Parmesan cheese. She enjoyed the variety of textures and flavors in the sandwich, and it was a great portion for the price. My other friend opted for the Eggs Benedict (€17), which was two perfectly-poached eggs served atop a golden-brown toasted fluffy bun, country ham, and a rich, decadent hollandaise sauce. This was a truly photogenic dish with some excellent flavors to back it up. Lastly, I ordered their French Toast & Stroopwafel (€15.5), which was a thick slice of brioche french toast with a whipped vanilla cream, fresh apple compote (with a lovely flavor of cinnamon), stroopwafel caramel, and a light dusting of stroopwafel crumble. Between the soft, custardy french toast, the light cream, the slightly tart apple compote, and the crunchy stroopwafel, this was a truly playful dish, and I've never had one quite like it. The overall atmosphere strikes a balance between modern brunch spot and neighborhood café, making it an appealing option for breakfast or lunch before a day of exploring the city center. Service is so friendly and helpful, and pricing falls comfortably within Amsterdam's mid-range café market, with most guests spending approximately €15-30 per person. If you're looking for a great brunch in the city before a day of exploring, I highly recommend Mortimer!

The food itself was really enjoyable. My bowl was loaded with fresh fruit and left me wanting more, and the matcha with fresh strawberries was fresh, and flavorful. That said, the overall vibe inside felt a bit flat compared to what I expected. It wasn't that the service was lacking, the staff were perfectly pleasant, but the energy just didn't match the buzz you see online, and it felt surprisingly quiet. It's also on the pricier side for what you get, which made the experience feel a little less worth it. Overall, Locals Amsterdam has some tasty offerings and is worth trying if you're nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return given the hype and pricing.
