Order the fries trio!
Asia L.

Modern dutch mini sandwiches. Super lekker! Everything I've had here is great. You should order two sandwiches for an average appetite as they are tapa small-sized and about €3 each. I always want to eat more and more! Great to come with friends and sample a few at once. I really love the Manchego met vijgencompote and Gerookte makreel met citroen-kappertjes mayonaise. This a great place to go by for a lunch or afternoon snack. The front bay window area is very cozy with all sorts of cushions, and they often open the large windows -- ahh so great on a nice day... -- Update: In the evening there is another delicious menu. Try the trio of fries with sweet potato, curly and normal ones. It comes with three different aiolis too-- the truffle mayo made my taste buds do the roger rabbit. The meat & cheese plate looked incredible -- good for groups. Will be back to try more!

Cute little gem! Wednesday morning visit and we ordered a Bloody Mary. Perhaps a little judgement considering it was a weekday, but it was my last day in the city before I had to head back to the states. Server had great attitude and the place had the best AM playlist that set the mood for the perfect last day. American breakfast was plated so adorably. I hear they have DELICIOUS fries, but only available after 4... And a foie gras burger?

Medium fish boca platter, loved every bite of it as well as the fries!

My friend suggested this place and I understand why! After a nice soup as an appetizer we shared a medium boca platter (fish) and had the fries to go with it. It was delicious and came very quick as we went for a very early dinner, I believe it was around 5pm. Staff is very friendly and I loved the decor. Good for a date but also a girl's night out as we did. Two thumbs up!

After a long jet lagged flight, we settled it and were excited to try as this had been on our list. We arrived excited to try their famous Boca platter but were hastily told "sorry that's only for dinner you'll have to come back at night." That killed our appetite quick. That and the small tiny gnats that were flying around the empty table next to us. Regardless, we stayed and had a little snack near the bar area. Ordered three small sandwiches and they were all good; one w the pate, one w the beef tartar and one with a cheese from Amsterdam.

The middle boca platter and the potato platter.

I love this cozy dining! I got a middle boca's platter and a potato platter. The boca's platter was middle but it didn't look so.It was larger than I thought! And the potato platter..was so delicious! It's highly recommend! I definitely visit here again when I come to Amsterdam :)

My only disappointment with Boca's is that I won't get to try the various other options they had on the menu, but the one I did have was Brilliant! Bright, white and airy. That's the way I would describe it. Situated in one of the coolest neighbours of the Dam it is definitely a modern café/restaurant with an excellent but eclectic music play list, friendly staff and lots of tables to sit outside at if the sun it paying the city a visit when you are there. The menu is cool and unusual and seems to be different at different times of day. When we were there at lunch/brunch we had the Boca's (little bread rolls) themselves. You pick from a list of fillings and then they come out on a platter to share. We had a dynamite tuna & cheese salad, a delightful gouda and pickle one, a very unusual scallop and salami roll and also a nice triple cheese one. (There is 5 in the picture, but being honest I have forgotten one of them) The rolls look small, but were very tasty and actually quite filling. They also seem to do other dishes later in the day, there was some amazing sounding platters and I also love the idea of fries three ways!! A great place to visit and offering something a bit different from the normal café/restaurant style of pick from one menu. If I am ever back in Amsterdam, I will 100% be back to Boca's

Fish plate - small
Mimi S.

I tried their fish plates. Very fresh and good taste. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. The people next to me had meat plate. Looks nice too.

Such a cute little place! Hungout there for a couple hours. Great food and polite staff :)

Lamb Burger
Al S.

We had dinner here and were not disappointed. The food and atmosphere were great. The lamb burger was very good as was the steak tartare. The charcuterie plates are very large and can feed several people.

Medium cheese platter

Not too many vegetarian options. The one I had was decent. Really good vibe - good for a group night out.

This bar was recommended to me by a bartender in Berlin. The first time I came I didn't have a…read morereservation but since it was just me, they were able to squeeze me in at the bar. 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.

Negen Straatjes, Centrum

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
