    Eggs Benedict! Delish
    Mary D.

    Delicious breakfast! Generous portions and high quality. Eggs Benedict was SO good. Not usually a fan of ham, but it was perfect here. Asparagus omelet was also delicious. I think the oatmeal with almond milk was maybe the best I've ever had, and that's saying a lot because I am an oatmeal snob- I make it for myself almost everyday for breakfast and pretty much never order it out because it's normally too sweet, too mushy, too runny, too something... but this bowl of oatmeal was perfection. Loved all the fruit toppings... never would have thought to top oatmeal with grapes but I'm on board! Coffee was also good, and the complimentary little breakfast cookie/muffin that came with it was probably the best I had in Amsterdam. On top of the delicious food, the service was friendly and prompt. Enjoyed the outdoor seating on the beautiful morning we came. This place is small with limited tables, but luckily there wasn't a wait on the Friday morning we came.

    Weather was nice, food was great and service was excellent. What more can you ask for? I had the açai bowl, delicious and filling. Friends ordered the Atlantic egg Benedict, omelet and American pancake, all were excellent!

    This place has opened about a month ago next to the Oosterpark and when I cycled past this place a few weeks ago it immediately attracted me! It looks so awesome and beautiful! The lovely logo, the cool bar with nice lamps, the floors and the ceiling...everything is lovely! And when you peak into the speakeasy bar Henry's...wow! Amazingly awesome. But I'll have to make an other review for that place sometime when I've been there 'cause it's like a whole other bar (the waiter told me). So, I was very exited to go the Bukowski today, on my day off. Because the weather was so lovely I wanted to sit outside to enjoy the weather. I like this spot next to Oosterpark, it is a busy place but that also makes it more interesting and it is great for people watching. The staff at the place is super friendly, cool and also in for a little chat. I loved the drinks they offered. All sorts of coffee, very interesting teas (also fresh teas: mint, vervain or ginger), fruit juices, smoothies, milkshakes, hot chocolate or chai tea and a few cool sodas like Fritz Kola, Wostok, Bionade and Club-mate. You can have various kinds of breakfast dishes until 11. After 11, it's time for lunch: poached eggs (benedict, Florentine etc), a Moroccan omelette maybe? There is also French toast with blueberries! Gotta try those next time. Of course they also have sandwiches, and many of them. I've tried a bite of the egg-salad with truffle and it was nice! They also have warm dishes like soup, a burger or ravioli. But I had the to order the flammkuchen! There are four different ones and I had the Capresse. It was delicious! Yum! Try one! So this place is awesome for breakfast, lunch or drinks! And it is very beautiful with friendly staff! What more could I wish for? Great cocktails maybe, but wait.. yes, they do that as well! Every Friday and Saturday at Henry's. Will check that place out as soon as possible!

    Oh la la loved this cap!

    Omg! Belinda Carlisle must've created this restaurant because Heaven is a Place on Earth, for sure! First, the decor is amazingly vibrant and hippy chic, the 3 levels of dining (one of which is cantilevered) and even an awesome translucent step so you can see into the kitchen. Oh! And the food is suuuuuper yum! Def go here for breakfast, def def def!!! Ce súper magnifique!

    Usually when reviewing a place, I try to have some light fun remarks here and there. I may not always get it, but at least the intention is there. The thing is, I have zero witty comments to make on this fine establishment. Everything is just great, had to go there twice in a week. Now, this review could very easily end here but let's milk it some more: - The location is great, right by Oosterpark. - For the stingy people (looking at you, guy in the mirror), it's not expensive at all. - The food is not only tasty but damn, it *looks* the part! I wish the pictures did it justice but the meals are even better when seen live. It is so idyllic that makes you feel sorry for ruining the dish, but at some point someone's gotta give up in the staring contest, and I guess I lost (won) because I blinked (ate) what was in front of me (om nom). - The friendliest staff! This is especially valued here in NL where the service industry still lags behind that of other places (sorry dutchies, I really think you're the best, but search your feelings, you know it to be true! #useTheForceLuke). - It's huge, so great for groups. - Dogs are welcome. Not sure if this qualifies the place as animal friendly though, you really have to test with other animals. I read on another review that you must have cash on you, but in my case I went fully digital all over that terminal and it didn't beep back ;) Definitely recommend this for this for brunches and borrels!

    This place!! Oh man. So cute, so hipstery. I, like Daniella, was suspicious at first. Could it really live up to its external image? Turns out, yes, yes it can. I've been here two days in a row now, and never been disappointed. The serrano ham sandwich is delectable. Seriously. Perfectly balanced and their mozzarella is great!! Tried the pizzas today, and also stellar. I'm not a huge coffee person, so I can't speak really to the quality of the coffee, but I can say that I've gotten coffee twice here when I usually don't at all... So that's a good sign! Love the atmosphere. Seriously. Every little area is fun to sit in. Their service is wonderful-and the people are great! And, bonus... Their banana bread is on point!

    Omelette with spinach, goat cheese and mushrooms...

    I have to say I was a little bit suspicious of this place... Maybe being a bit too trendy for me. So I only came here for coffee so far. Then I finally went there for brunch on Sunday and was totally reformed...! The food was really really nice! I had a great omelette with spinach, goat cheese and mushrooms... So yummy! The coffee was also nice - had an option with almond milk too that wasn't bad... And sitting outside on the benches was cool - especially on Sunday when there wasn't that much traffic. I'll definitely come back here. Nice to know I have such a cool hangout close to my house...

    From the moment we walked in this was a great experience. We had amazing service food and drinks. Our waiter was adorable and made our visit tons of fun. It's a lively place on the corner and we arrived shortly before happy hour time. We had a Maroon's Gin and tonic with grapefruit recommended by our server which was done perfect along with the food! Best omelettes in Amsterdam! My only regret is not having time for a return visit this trip.

    For a casual place to get brunch with friends or family this place is great. It's warm, the food is wholesome, and they have American pancakes for your lil 'mericans. I haven't been here at night, but their bar looks stocked.

    Apple pie, ham and cheese croissant, coffee, and hot cocoa. Gnome for scale.

    See all

The bartenders were busy but nice and took care to explain the creative and extensive menu. The second time I came I made a reservation for two online. You pay for the reservation but that amount is then applied to your check. The drinks are quite good and I understand the need for the reservation. It's not a big space but it's very popular so it's consistently full. This is a great bar so I can see why it's so popular. Don't miss Flying Dutchmen Cocktails in Amsterdam.

    We stopped here for a cocktail. We did not have reservations so we had to wait until something…read moreopened. The server brought over a pinkish liquid and I asked what it was. He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.

    My husband and I were in Zürich before coming to Amsterdam and met a friend who is from Amsterdam…read more He recommended Pulitzer's Bar- so we immediately called and made a reservation. We were going on a boat tour that afternoon, to see all the light installations, so we made sure the timing was right to get to Pulitzer's on time! We had a 6:00 reservation, and got there promptly and found the door that we were to enter. The door was locked, but there was a sign that said 'please wait, someone will be with you soon'. Our wait was very short, and someone promptly came, greeted us and took us to our seats at the bar. Because a reservation, I believe is required, (not 200% about that), we were wondering if it would be a bit stuffy. It was not at all, everyone that we spoke to was very friendly, and great service at the bar. There were other couch settings and a few different set ups, but as usual, we love the bar. Our drinks were fabulous and we tried three of their menu items- only have appetizers, but they were very good. In talking to my sister and her husband, after we returned home, who had just been to Amsterdam, I realized that they stayed at the Pulitzer hotel, which we did not know when we were there. They loved the hotel - so I can give a recommendation for that as well. They said all the rooms are different and they really loved their room. I think everyone would really enjoy a stay at the Pulitzer hotel and definitely get a reservation to Pulitzer's bar- you won't be disappointed.

    Gorgeous bar! The drenched walls and design is well worth it before the cocktails!…read more We enjoyed Mocktail Bellinos and a tart
