World's coziest table & bench, but cute. The restaurant itself is petite and homey. The candles were lit and the lighting was dim. Lots of folks were here enjoying themselves. Food was fine. Not terribly inspired, but comforting on a blustery day. The menu is limited for non meat eaters or pescatarians. Drinks were good. Service was friendly. A cute neighborhood cat made a visit. That was a highlight. Overall, this was a good experience.

It is so incredibly cozy inside, and you will want to stay and hang out for hours. The service was great, and they have a very well-curated menu including plenty of vegetarian options. We each went with one of their pot pies and they were amazing. I am still dreaming about the mushroom one! Don't miss out on the triple ginger cake for dessert - it is an absolute must. I wish we lived closer so that we could come all the time! Definitely be sure to make a reservation, as I can see how it could get busy inside, especially on a weekend.

Probably one of the best dinners I had during my trip to Europe this summer…read more Their menu is set up to be sort of like a sampling menu where it's recommended you order multiple dishes in order to be full. It's great for getting to try a lot of things! The servers here work really hard, during the dinner rush there was only 2 of them, therefore be a little patient! The wait is totally worth. Also, make a reservation if you can, they are very popular. (It was packed and we arrived 20 minutes early for our table) We ordered oysters, lobster, seabass (whole), scallops, green salad, bread, and at the end, french coffee. The highlight of the entire dinner were the razor clams. Absolutely unbelievable and a must order if you ever visit and it's on the menu! The coffee was extremely dark and we didn't finish any of it. But, being American, we probably should've known better and researched before we ordered. The creme brûlée was also very enjoyable! (Side note: all the creme brûlées I had in Europe were pre-made and not hot when they came out. Europe tingz?) The bill didn't come out to be outrageous at all and basically all we ordered was seafood... how? All in all, the perfect dinner to end my birthday. I'll be dreaming about this place for the next few years until I visit Amsterdam again.

I went to Drovers Dog today to be the first one to write about it on Yelp ;) and I read about it…read morelast week and of course, not unimportant, because I was hungry. Drovers Dog has opened very recently and I think it is nice that Amsterdam Oost is getting more cool spots lately. I think there used to be a shortage of nice places to hang out in Oost, but it is getting better. I also love that the brunch culture is getting more popular in Amsterdam these days! Drovers Dog looks very cool and gezellig. There is a lot of natural light thanks to the big windows, the bar and furniture are made of wood and there are little plants on the tables. Outside is quite a big terrace. I love the all day breakfast concept and it is very cool that this place is opened 'till 10 PM. After having a look at their menu I went to the bar to order my things. Unfortunately they told me that it was so busy that they were way behind on their orders and that they would take no orders for the next 20 minutes and that they were very sorry. We could order our drinks now and our food in 20 minutes.. Okay, well. That's okay, we were in no hurry. We ordered a banana chocolate smoothie and a strawberry and rose ice tea. The smoothie was very nice but the ice tea absolutely lacked flavour and was watery. I do not recommend it. After waiting 25 minutes I asked if it was possible to order our food. They told me that sadly I could only order wraps because they were out on the other food. (they were out on pastries as well.) I was quite disappointed because I had set my mind on the corn fritters but ok, lets have a wrap then. We ordered a Serrano ham wrap and I choose the spicy mayonnaise to go with it and a grilled chicken wrap with hummus. I also ordered a flat white. So.. it was 1.30PM and they were already out of food. That's not really good in your opening weekend, after being featured in 'Het Parool', right? The flat white was really nice. Great coffee. The wraps weren't very special though. It tasted alright I guess but I expected a lot more of this. It also was my only option. When we came in there were people eating corn fritters, burgers, eggs benedict...and all I got was a not-so-special wrap?? mehhh. The experience was not as pleasant as I expected. It all seemed very unprofessional. The waitress was constantly searching for the right tables, service was very slow, we had to wait long and they were out of almost everything, Hopefully these were all beginners problems. I will go back in a few months to see if they have improved,. I want to be positive here! I do think this place has potential so that's why I give 3 stars.

We grabbed menus and, before we could crack them open, he was back with English menus - something must have given us away as being tourists. ; ) We opted for a table outside. I started with Bobby's gin - with closed pushed into orange slices and cinnamon stick added, it's amazingly refreshing & not terribly priced. BONUS: paper staw Of course, we had to get bitterballen. Say what you will, a hefty dose of mustard and these lil balls are the perfect sidekick for a brew. I went with the chicken and waffle. The sweet waffle paired nicely with the savory chicken. Other dishes at our table: sausage, schnitzel and fries... plus a few beers. I'd suggest getting the house recommendation of half chicken... it smells amazing and was being devoured by regulars all around us. The place was hopping - the line for the toilet was longer than the wait for our food. Service great... drinks inconsistent - as 2 others ordered Bobby's gin & they weren't garnished the same as the original one, tho equally delicious. Solid 4

The gorgonzola cheese and fig jam sandwich on spelt baguette was interesting pairing and enjoyable. The spelt baguette was the best--crunchy outside, soft inside very flavorful (unlike spelt products I've had in the States). Le Perron on Middenweg has been my morning go to spot while in Amsterdam. Fyi...this bakery cafe far exceeds Le Pain Quotidien and shames Le Madeleine versions that exist in the States.

Made a reservations months in advance and my table was ready upon arrival. There is a tram stop in front of the restaurant. Coat check was offered upon arrival and the dining room is stunning with a view of the open kitchen. Staff were very attentive and cordial. The amouse bouches before the main courses were fantastic, ranging from the tapioca chip with celery dip which was A+, the couple of vegetarian wraps, the hot seared scallop add-on, the broth, along with the sourdough bread with mushroom infused whipped butter. Each of the courses were meticulously presented and the flavors were all top notch. Loved the light meats, including the perfectly cooked fish course. Despite having so many vegetables, I was actually pretty full that I could only do 1 instead of the 2 desserts! The meal ended off with a sorbet which was fantastic! I also loved how they offered an apple on the way out!

Wow, an amazing place. I took my partner here for a birthday lunch, and wow -- what an experience!…read moreDe Kas is set in a stunning old greenhouse with glass walls and ceilings, so the space feels open, light, and beautifully connected to nature -- almost like dining in a garden under the sky . We ended up spending three hours there -- not because it dragged, but because everything about the place invites lingering: the atmosphere, the light, the relaxed pace, the food, and just being together. The tables are well spaced (so you don't feel crowded), and the whole setting feels like a breath of fresh air compared to typical city restaurants. The menu changes with the seasons and focuses on produce grown right on-site or nearby, which keeps things fresh and interesting -- truly a "farm-to-table" experience. Perfect for a special occasion or when you want a beautiful, relaxed lunch with someone you care about.

It was pretty packed in there we were greeted at the door immediately and sat immediately which was nice. We ordered the French onion soup and the burger. Im not sure why I ordered the French onion soup considering we were going to France. Anyhow it was not how I pictured it or how it's made in the US. The soup had two pieces of bread on the top of the soup served with two slices of brown bread on the side. So there wasn't any cheese on top like what I'm used to. The only cheese was the very small amount that had on the small pieces of bread. Well I thought guess it's made different in Amsterdam. It was actually bland it needed salt, I guess maybe because im used to it with lots of cheese. It was still good just not what I was expecting. The burger was something else, it was delicious. They cooked it perfectly it was full of juiciness and lots of good flavors. Simple burger with toasted sesame bun. The fries oh the fries, it was so crispy and good, I couldn't stop eating them.
