Food Drink - A mocha, it was thick and luscious. Breakfast - I had some of my wife's waffle. I enjoyed that. I needed some protein so I had the special.

It is less then 5 mins from albert cuyp, so great place to relax after visiting the market.

There is free wifi, and menu available in english. Interestingly, a dutch breakfast is according to this place french toast. Mmmm....never knew that.

In search of a proper Dutch breakfast, we set our sights on some pannenkoeken (pancakes) and…read morediscovered far more than we had hoped for or expected. You see we had the good fortune of befriending Senna who volunteered to serve (in his words) as our "tour guide & waiter." When Senna asked if Dana preferred sweet or savory, she replied (in brilliant fashion), "How about both?" This prompted his face to light up as he told us he had the perfect recommendations. Following his lead we ordered the "Bacon, Apple, and Butter" Pannenkoeken and the "Mixed Fruit and Whipped Cream" Poffertjes. What's amazing to me is that about half way through our meal I noticed that the bottle of syrup on the table hadn't been touched (or even considered). I mean, how could syrup possibly enhance such a wonderful compliment of flavors? No, its inclusion simply wouldn't be tolerated! If you want to blaze your own trail at "De Carrousel" they offer more than 50 options to choose from and I'd recommend sharing a combination of pannenkoeken and poffertjes amongst your party. Be sure to make time to wander around the restaurant a bit. Not only are the center carrousel horses a unique touch, but the kitchen's close proximity to the dining area can make you feel as if you have a role in the preparation of the pannenkoeken and poffertjes! True to his word, Senna provided us with a handwritten, two-sided, list of recommendations that he divided into the categories of "Culture", "Restaurants", and "Date Night." And that's...Henry's Take. #pannenkoeken #poffertjes #dutchhospitality

I tried some ham and cheese baguette and I think there's cheese was much thicker than the ham but I would definitely like more ham. In general this place has the carousel as the main attraction - it sort of reminds me of a cheaper version of Disney. Looks kind of touristy and old school. There's lots of seating and I think the host wasn't really there to seat us but there was a wait to be seated sign. We took a booth by the window. The service was extremely slow and the workers are definitely understaffed here and I don't understand why because there's outside and inside seating and there were only two workers for over 30/40 tables. The Dutch pancakes were the best thing on the menu but I think they just taste like hot cakes with sugar on top- so I didn't find anything super special to ever come back here again.

My breakfast included a large glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, toast, perfectly-cooked scrambled eggs with gouda cheese, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, a warmed fresh pastry, and a large cappucino for about €17. This neighborhood is packed with bars, clubs, restaurants, and coffeeshops and young people who party late into the night. I think we were the first customers to show up when they opened for business at 9:00 AM on Sunday. The two girls that run it were a little bleary-eyed, but got it together for us even though the Rembrantplein was deserted at that hour like a ghost town.

It was very hearty and I was full.

Super friendly and quick to us, tossed in a cute dutch shoe keyrings for extra charm on our visit, Oh, but the restroom?

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!
