Lovely local cafe! Super speedy service, fresh ingredients, and a big menu. I had the eggs florentine which was perfectly cooked and came with a lovely side salad. Great coffee, too! Friendly staff, nice outdoor tables, and fun music. Great place to stop while waiting for laundry across the street or stopping by the park. read more

Valerius' meals and guests have one thing in common: they're both pimped. All of them? The meals for sure. Let me explain. 1) When you live in Amsterdam, you're used to see natural people every day, right? That's why it's striking to enter Valerius. It might be a coincidence but I heard that the Museumkwartier is a neighbourhood with a high density of beauty docs. 2) When you live in Amsterdam, you're used to see the same menus every day, right? So when you see the one at Valerius' you might be disappointed. There are no exciting fancy meals or combinations to find on it. Just the ordinary salads, broodjes, breakfast and lunch options. BUT at Valerius they know how to dress up ordinary meals to make them look and taste deliciously posh. The interior and the service match the great food to make Valerius a classy yet comfy place for an enjoyable breakfast or lunch with friends. read more

Yep. I'm a stickler for 5 star reviews, and no this place isn't out of this world. But what it is, is really great at what they do. We went for a brunch and had our choice of seats outside. In this lovely neighborhood, outside is the place to be. They have a good menu and I was happy to get the breakfast combo. Plenty of food that even came with a mini cheese course. I ordered a black breakfast tea and it was loose-leaf. It's the little touches that make things special. The food was really good! The croissant was better than most you'll find outside of France, so that was a plus. It was plenty of food too! Very happy with it. First we had a woman server, and I guess she left when we got a male server. Both were extremely pleasant! When paying he was a big help because I was having an issue with my pin card and with two failed attempts, he told me that I should go to my bank because the third time means the card won't work anymore. Luckily my friend was there to bail me out of the embarrassing situation, but I am very thankful that he told me that! I went straight to the bank and fixed it. Service with a smile may not be too common in Amsterdam, but it's just wonderful when you get it! I will definitely go back and can't wait! read more

Valerius - The breakfast option. Come with coffee or tea as well! Very tasty. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

3.75 Stars. Popped in here on a random weekday on a walk to Vondelpark after having read some great reviews, and had a glass of orange juice and eggs benedict. I thought both were very good, yet, a bit overpriced. This was offset by having a nice outdoor seat on a gorgeous day, so I left feeling like I had a solid experience that made the price of the food itself worth it. The service was kind and quite fast, and it stood out to me because I was totally expecting it to be typical Dutch bluntness, since it seemed like a local joint, but it wasn't. I never came back because there's just too many great options for a similar kind of meal all over the city, so I didn't think to myself, "I have to go to Valerius and I'm gonna get on a tram just to make that happen". That's not to say it wasn't good, because it was. It's just no Dignita. read more

Great place for breakfast/brunch if you ever visit Amsterdam! Service was friendly (as is Amsterdam in general), and the food was clean, simple, yummy! They have indoor and outdoor seating with cute décor inside if you choose to stay indoors. For the food and drinks, my friend and I got orange juice to be healthy & then we tried the eggs benedict & eggs florentine. Both were pretty good! Price was decent and didn't cause a dent at all in our 3-week-semi-backpacking Europe trip :) read more

BLTC was great! Last letter 'C' stands for chicken. Should have been BLTCC since it came with cucumbers also. We stopped in here after the Van Gogh museum. It's located in a quiet neighborhood. At about 1:30 on a weekday the service was quick and hospitable. The gentleman explained that the corn bread that was a choice for the sandwich was not like the sweet corn bread in United States. It's a very fine textured bread great for a sandwich. Serving size was generous and the chicken was cooked in a mild teriyaki-like sauce. read more

Valerius - BLTC - I was so hungry I ate some before the photo. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Eggs Benedict Doctor Cluck's Verdict: "Severe Eggcident in the Banstraat; 2 people dead." After reading lots of good reviews on Valerius we decided to have brunch at Valerius. We had the salmon sanwich and the eggs benedict. The eggs were undercooked and the eggs benedict were served on hard bread. not sure if that is common in the Netherlands, but the soft texture of the poached eggs with the ham should be supported by a soft bun. That is the whole purpose of the dish. the eggs benedict should be swimming in hollandaise sauce, but the eggs benedict were only served with a drizzle of Hollandaise sauce, which was a pity. Salmon with the poached eggs was okay. Here, the eggs were also undercooked. The eggswhite was still runny. A definate no-no for an egg lover! read more

Place is okay. I wasn't "wowed" by the service or the food. Eggs Florentine was very good, eggs Benedict uses prosciutto instead of ham. Different taste and unexpected but was descent. Coffee is delicious. read more

Delicious! Service takes a while so I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're in a hurry but the food was absolutely wonderful! read more

This little family friendly restaurant is tucked away off the beaten path right next to the museum district. The ambiance is clean, open, and full of sun light. We stopped here for a bite right before heading off to get cultured. There's no English menu, but the waiter patiently translated every item on the list. Everything we ordered was absolutely tasty and hit the spot! The coffee was strong, the orange juice freshly squeezed, and they piled on avocado for my BLTC sandwich (YUM). It was a much needed change of scenery after wondering around the more touristy parts of Amsterdam. Don't know when I'll be returning next, but I will definitely recommend this join to anyone who's visiting! read more

One of our favorites places for lunch in Amsterdam-South is 'Valerius'. The owner and his personal are adorable. It is possible to make reservations, which is quite unique and summers it is lovely to eat outside. What is more and very important, the atmosphere is very relaxed. Unlike many other Amsterdam-South places, here it is not a matter of 'seen and being seen'. On the menu you'll find for instance sourdough bread with a variety of honest fillings and spreads. My favorite is the one with grilled vegetables and in summer time the salad with strawberries. But on the menu you will also find homemade quiche and soup and the not to be despised hot carrot cake, cheesecake and brownies. They also serve breakfast(with for instance pancakes) and on wednesday and saturday they also do dinner! read more

Looking for a solid breakfast with no frills attached then look no further. Great brunch at a great price. Casual and pleasant eating environment and friendly helpful staff will make your experience here an enjoyable one. Coffee was on a scale of 1 to 5 where 5 is a coffee 'not to forget' here at Valerius was a 3. I would have given it 4 stars but the menu is not exactly brimming with options. All in all a solid satisfying brunch spot. read more

This spot is pretty good for breakfast and brunch. I had the Uitsmijter of Rorei Naturel, which is basically scrambled eggs with ham and tomato for about 8 euros with the extra add on. The price isn't too bad, I would have thought this place would be at least 15 euros, judging how the place looks but it was pretty damn affordable to my surprise, much more affordable than say LA food of this level which is equivalent to at least $15 + 15-20% tip. They say food in Europe is expensive, but not really. The service is great for such a busy place, it's a really nice sit down place and relaxing to start your day. They speak English here if you don't know how to read the Dutch menu, but it's pretty much easy to figure out. The food is more than decent, fresh and a good portion size. I'll definitely be coming back to this place. Price - Good value to portion Atmosphere - Nice decor, clean, lively. free WiFi Category - Casual moderate dining Taste - Fresh home made cooked Service - Good, quick and helpful read more

Really good food and excellent friendly service!! Took my son here for breakfast on a Monday morning and had scrambled eggs, three kinds of toast and croissant with cheese and jam and also fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee and was all delicious! I felt so welcomed as they really made it nice for my son offering coloring books and pencils... we were visiting the neighborhood for relocation from Spain and this was such a perfect way to start the day and what a great vibe we for for the feel of a neighborhood ;) read more

Delicious and good service considering only one lady working the front of the house. Had the chicken Caesar salad, was good and rich with olives and egg. Being a tourist, found it wasn't that touristy feel - thumbs up! read more

Shhhhh don't tell anyone. Low key brunch, great food, attentive service, big wooden tables, no hype no gripes. This is a neighborhood joint. So, go, but don't tell anyone about it. Oops, I just did. So, now, you know. read more

Very cute cafe near the Vondelpark area. We walked there from our hotel and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. I had a continental with various breads, cheese, eggs, coffee and juice. My husband had a croissant with ham, along with pancakes. (We hadn't had a real meal after a full day of travel, so we did it up!) Delicious coffee, and the best butter I've had in the longest time. Attentive and friendly service complimented the laidback atmosphere. A great start to our day walking all over Amsterdam. Highly recommend for those trying to avoid more touristy spots. read more

Stumbled upon this place one morning while exploring the neighborhood around our AirBnB. Simple menu for breakfast. Service was quick friendly and efficient, coffee was hot and the fresh squeezed OJ was delicious. A friend ordered the quiche of the day, which he raved about. I had the Eggs Benedict and my wife had the same. Eggs were perfect, all the ingredients were incredibly fresh. I also had a side of bacon that was generous. Liked the place so much we made it a destination for breakfast a second time later in the week. If you hate dining disappointment wile traveling, put this spot on your list read more

Best lunch we had in Amsterdam. Family run place with great food and even better service. We were there with our two year old and they went out of the way to make him happy. We had soup, pastrami sandwich, ratatouille sandwich and tuna - all amazing! read more

Valerius is my favourite lunch and brunch place in the old South and I am also pleased to hear it has opened for dinner, although I haven't tried dinner there yet. I have lunch and brunch here many times and have never been disappointed-the food is great and well priced, the staff attentive and professional and the coffee fantastic. The menu is seasonal and I had a great watermelon and strawberry salad in summer and now, in autumn, a delicious salad nicoise with seared tuna. Their fresh mixed juice is also lovely. I can't fault it. read more

We had brunch. Good coffee, nice Dutch style thick pancakes for the kids. Open face meatloaf sandwich was very good with a bit of a spicy sauce. Eggs florentine came out a bit overlooked though. All in all good experience. Friendly and helpful staff. read more

Lovely place in many ways! 1 open all day 2 personable, friendly staff 3 tasty food 4 inside and out a pleasure to sit 5 slightly hidden away, therefore always a table available In short: a favorite! read more

Slow, inattentive service - albeit kind. When asked if we could order, we were told it would take a long time (hello, a sandwich and a soup!) because they were very busy. All the tables were taken, but what do you expect at lunch time? Clearly understaffed and not investing. Don't waste your time here. The sandwich was average and overpriced. You are not even seating in a nicely decorated room. The restaurant is set up like a boring cafeteria - greys and blacks. Loads of much nicer places 100 metres from Valerius. read more

The service and food were excellent, and the owner even personally greeted and talked with us for a while! The wait staff is extremely friendly, highly recommended! read more

Wondeful BLTC sanwich with salad! Service was fast and the prices were reasonable as well. Would highly recommend.

We went there for brunch, and even came back the following day after a terrible experience at a different restaurant in the area. It was wonderful both times. The pastrami sandwich and burger were both incredible and the waitstaff were all very helpful and friendly. read more

Eggs benedict prepared to perfection. Fresh orange juice and delicious coffee. Glad I found this place! Will be back again.

Highly recommended! Delicious breakfast! We had the espresso, which was served with a lovely little biscuit-cookie, and for breakfast the Greek yogurt with fresh fruit (great variety and all ripe), as well as the Eggs Florentine (great flavor with a delicious pair of tiny tomatoes on the side). Yum!!!!! read more

Had my first eggs benny here, I am a convert! Off the beaten path with some charming side streets, tasty lattes!

If you want a perfect boiled egg, then this is the place to come. Service friendly and quick. Perfect for a breakfast or brunch. Give the city centre a miss and walk that extra 10 minutes to the Valeriys read more

Nice place for a quick bite after visiting the museums. The cafe sits in a peaceful residential area which is a treat after the the hustle and bustle is Amsterdam's busy museum district. My husband had the CBLT (chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwich-be forewarned this is a sandwich that requires a knife and fork! The avocado mayo was a nice touch! read more
