Highly recommended this place!!! Had a beet, trout, and green pea bruschetta plus a small pan of Mac &cheese. Drinks were iced tea lemonade (Arnold Palmer) plus hot tea. Each item was 4E to 7E which to me was quite reasonable for the quality. Great fresh food, great view overlooking the Rijks courtyard. Very refreshing and perfect lunch!!
It's a restaurant in a museum. A very famous museum. IT is a take and go type of thing. But don't go asking for the side of the main dish alone - oh no. No way, no how. No way possibly put a price on it. Hahahah! okey dokey The area where you get the food isn't huge, but there are a number of different types of options! We shared an egg salad wrap and it was interesting with some curry mixed in. The cheesy croissant... meh. The tomato soup, meh. So it's basically some place to grab some sustenance before you continue enjoying the museum that you paid and arm and a leg to go see! Tons of seating, views of the park, and part of the outside of the museum.
18 months since I first gave this spot 5 stars, a revisit (amazing considering I live in Hawaii). Still exceptional! This time I enjoyed a really hearty salad with lettuce, potatoes, bacon, asparagus, and mayonnaise l, and a glass of Merlot. Nearly €15, but wonderful ambiance. You'll need to pay to get into the museum, but once your feet and eyes are overwhelmed by the wonders of Van Gogh this hip restaurant is a true gem. On our first visit in Aug 2017 we had a couple of beers, a cheese board, and a sausage roll. They have many other options. Quality excellent all around. And the displays of food are a work of art themselves. Our treats set is back just under €20. Worth it.
Came here on a weekday after my visit through the museum at around 11:30am. They had a variety of options including; fruits and juices, sandwiches, pizzas, yogurts, wraps, danish, granola, meats, etc. I opted for the saucizebroodjes (sausage link in a puff pastry), raspberry yogurt and fresh squeezed OJ. The saucizenbroodjes was one of the biggest ones I've seen and tasted so good, especially with mustard on top! The raspberry yogurt was good, but I'm still convinced that the US has the better tasting yogurt. The price for all of this was pretty reasonable 18 EU. Atmosphere was nice and in a self serve cafeteria environment....had free Wifi as well and views of the park. Check it out to as a place to eat and relax after the museum!
Spare ribs were great! My friends enjoyed all the food and beer they ordered. Five stars is rare for me to give unless I was super satisfied with food. The service was great and enjoyed our server. If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. Great location and friendly staff. They say I must try breakfast there. Next time I come in to Amsterdam, I will. Thanks

Le Tambourin is a great place to cool your heels, while you wait for your spouses at the Van Gogh Museum. The food is really very tasty and the restaurant overlooks the main entrance to the Museum across the courtyard. My wingman and I sat, while enjoying a Kaffee and pastry. We enjoyed watching people walk in the drizzle. Always fun to see who puts up an umbrella and those who rough it. LOL Besides Pastries, Coffee, Teas and soft drinks, they offer both cold and warm meals and sandwiches. The day we were here, they had a fish dish, Scandinavian meatballs and a beef dish of some kind, served in a buffet cafeteria style. Given the US Dollar $trength versus the €uro, expect to pay €10 or so, VAT included for a full Lunch. My coffee and pastry ran me $4.39, which I thought was a pretty good deal. read more
The food here is a quick service and pre made! The hot food is kept under heat lamps like the mac and cheese. There is plenty of seating and the cafe vibes are relaxed and casual. The food we ate was good but nothing crazy. Convenient location being inside the museum and not having to leave is great, however I would not come here to eat if I was not spending the afternoon at the museum. read more

Did you know that Vincent van Gogh had a lover who owned a cafe named Le Tambourin in Arles? I thought it was pretty clever that the cafe located in the Vincent van Gogh Museum got its namesake from just that. So, as a van Gogh fan and a starving museum visitor after four hours of seeing all of van Gogh's paintwork, I had to eat at Le Tambourin. I will say that it's food served in a prime tourist destination, so it's never spectacular, right? I did like that it was more of a cafeteria style, where you picked up a tray and selected your own food from the assortment. The food ranged from small items like soups of the day and pastries, to hot entrees like beef sirloin with potatoes and veggies. It is nice that you have a lot of options here. I selected a cobb salad with a berry smoothie. At check-out, you get a free cookie. Heck yeah! The food was A-OK. It wasn't terrible, but was overpriced for what it was. The cobb salad had lots of lettuce, which was nice; but the other items that make up a cobb salad were meager, including the much-needed dressing. The berry smoothie wasn't bad, but it wasn't as chilled as it should've been, so the taste was compromised. The setting was actually quite nice, with large windows that look out to Museum Quarter. Several tables and seats were available and I sat at a large community table where you can skim through the several different art books for diners. It was inviting and you got the impression that people weren't here to just eat and leave, but spent a lot of time just hanging out. I dig that. Overall, it's nice there's a cafe here at the van Gogh Museum, which has a good selection that you can choose from in a cafeteria setting. But don't expect the food to be anything worth coming back for. It's certainly convenient for hungry museum visitors, which is exactly just that. read more

A very stylish cafe & the food was fresh & delicious. A friendly young chef Gideon Smit dropped by at our table with fresh strawberries. As tired tourists, it was very refreshing & we felt very welcomed. read more

Le Tambourin is a gorgeous cafe inside the Van Gogh Museum. It has beautiful food - sandwiches, pastries, salads. And so many beverages - lemonades with fresh fruit, coffee, mint tea, and more! Nice place to escape the crowds in the museum! read more

Beautiful cafe and beautiful food but doesn't taste great. Got a mango carrot juice... I thought it would have a smooth texture but instead it was loaded with chunky carrot bits. Tomato soup was average. Very convenient for museum goers though. read more
