    We loved our food. Ambiance is great. Our server was great. It was late and the prefect way to end the night.

    We had breakfast here and we're delighted. The service was fast and friendly and our food was delivered hot and quickly. I had the apple crepe and my partner had the chocolate crepe, which came with both dark and white chocolate. We also had a bowl of vegan yogurt with strawberries and it was delicious. We loved that the music being played was classic jazz and the decor of the restaurant is beautiful art nouveau. The price was right and I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We wanted a snack, something light but also a place to sit and plan our day. The staff was friendly and attentive! The menu had nice options. This place fills up fast! We shared a slice of apple pie. It was huge! But more importantly it was delicious! Plus we also shared a sausage and cheese tray. It was so filling though, we had to skip dinner. Mmmm and the bread they served it with tastes so fresh!!! We would definitely return. This is a great location in the center of all your tourist spots to regroup and get some sustenance!

    I'm all about a restaurant with a view and this one has a great one overlooking the canal in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Had a nice spontaneous lunch. The eggs were a tad underdone but still yummy! And it was a greatly sized space with very high ceilings.

    This was our first stop in Amsterdam since it's literally right across the street from central station. The location is awesome because after a long day of traveling it was quick and easy to find without having to wait for long lines or sit outside in the cold. I enjoyed the decor of this spot it was very young and hip reminding me a lot of walking into an urban outfitters or Anthropologie store. The employees were all really nice and attentive. I had ordered the black coffee and ginger apricot pancake. I thought the coffee was great, strong just like I like it. The pancake for me was a different experience just because it definitely is not like the pancakes that we have in the states. The pancake was as thin as a crepe and it wasn't super sweet. It was a nice change I definitely felt healthy eating it, but I probably would order something else to try the next time I go.

    A cute café near the Grand Central Station, it's a convenient bite, and the food is quite good. It's basically modern fusion with a Netherlands touch. There was a stage in this small space, although nobody was playing at the time. The walls are festooned with funky murals. Special mention of the bathroom, which is a weird work of art in itself, with the tiling and angles reminiscent of a Gaudi building. Service was very friendly if, like with most of Europe, slow. The wife, chatting with the server, also learned that a key element of the "Dwaze Zaken" experience is that all the ingredients are locally sourced. Of course, buyer beware on this review as it is the view of a tourist, and not a local.

    Stopped in for late dinner and wish I just walked a little further to where we were staying. Kids had ravioli and steak and I had the fondue. This was my first time having fondue and I didn't like it. The decor and history of the space is cool but the food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Skip this place!

    One of the few Christian business owners in Amsterdam & it was an absolute pleasure. Sweet employees, Delicious food, I got the English Breakfast, and it was SO yummy! We will be coming back again for fondue for dinner!

    Nice place to eat that is close to Amsterdam Central. They have a comfortable outside dining patio. The wait staff was also very accommodating and polite.

    Lamb sausage on desem bread with tzatziki, lettuce and red onion.

It is a salad with of course lentils, but also goats cheese and nuts and it tastes delicious! I thought all the salads on the menu looked really good so I really want to come back soon. You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

    Wow, this was a nice surprise. My friends live near Waterlooplein Metro station, and De Hapjeshoek…read moreis one of their go-to takeout places. If you didn't know it was there, you would definitely miss it. Plus, you would never think a joint in a subway station complex is any good, but this is a real hidden gem. Suriname is a former Dutch colony in South America. Consequently, there are a number of Surinamese restaurants in Amsterdam, but this takeout stands OUT. The overhead menu sign is all in Dutch, and so are the few items marked in the butcher/bakery-like display counters. Most dishes are not identified. I had no idea what to get so friends did the ordering. After we ordered I noticed a QR-code for the English menu. Whatever I ate, and we had at least 6 dishes, they were hearty, spicy and bursting with flavor. You probably can't go wrong trying several items. Don't forget shrimp chips. If you aren't doing takeout, there are a few cafeteria tables to sit and eat. Don't miss this place!

The only dish that was not a stand out was the Samosa. Highly recommend the Bakje Bami, Nasi (stir fried noodles with a wonderful and unusual sauce) and the Kip Ketjap (chicken in sweet soy). I want more of this, and will have to return to beautiful Amsterdam soon!
