    Beautiful mosaic tile bar background

    We loved our food. Ambiance is great. Our server was great. It was late and the prefect way to end the night.

    We had breakfast here and we're delighted. The service was fast and friendly and our food was delivered hot and quickly. I had the apple crepe and my partner had the chocolate crepe, which came with both dark and white chocolate. We also had a bowl of vegan yogurt with strawberries and it was delicious. We loved that the music being played was classic jazz and the decor of the restaurant is beautiful art nouveau. The price was right and I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We wanted a snack, something light but also a place to sit and plan our day. The staff was friendly and attentive! The menu had nice options. This place fills up fast! We shared a slice of apple pie. It was huge! But more importantly it was delicious! Plus we also shared a sausage and cheese tray. It was so filling though, we had to skip dinner. Mmmm and the bread they served it with tastes so fresh!!! We would definitely return. This is a great location in the center of all your tourist spots to regroup and get some sustenance!

    I'm all about a restaurant with a view and this one has a great one overlooking the canal in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Had a nice spontaneous lunch. The eggs were a tad underdone but still yummy! And it was a greatly sized space with very high ceilings.

    This was our first stop in Amsterdam since it's literally right across the street from central station. The location is awesome because after a long day of traveling it was quick and easy to find without having to wait for long lines or sit outside in the cold. I enjoyed the decor of this spot it was very young and hip reminding me a lot of walking into an urban outfitters or Anthropologie store. The employees were all really nice and attentive. I had ordered the black coffee and ginger apricot pancake. I thought the coffee was great, strong just like I like it. The pancake for me was a different experience just because it definitely is not like the pancakes that we have in the states. The pancake was as thin as a crepe and it wasn't super sweet. It was a nice change I definitely felt healthy eating it, but I probably would order something else to try the next time I go.

    A cute café near the Grand Central Station, it's a convenient bite, and the food is quite good. It's basically modern fusion with a Netherlands touch. There was a stage in this small space, although nobody was playing at the time. The walls are festooned with funky murals. Special mention of the bathroom, which is a weird work of art in itself, with the tiling and angles reminiscent of a Gaudi building. Service was very friendly if, like with most of Europe, slow. The wife, chatting with the server, also learned that a key element of the "Dwaze Zaken" experience is that all the ingredients are locally sourced. Of course, buyer beware on this review as it is the view of a tourist, and not a local.

    Stopped in for late dinner and wish I just walked a little further to where we were staying. Kids had ravioli and steak and I had the fondue. This was my first time having fondue and I didn't like it. The decor and history of the space is cool but the food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Skip this place!

    One of the few Christian business owners in Amsterdam & it was an absolute pleasure. Sweet employees, Delicious food, I got the English Breakfast, and it was SO yummy! We will be coming back again for fondue for dinner!

    Lamb sausage on desem bread with tzatziki, lettuce and red onion.

    Delicious food and coffee. The staff is friendly and eager to make sure everything taste great. It is located on a busy corner close to Dam Square so it might be better to eat inside as it can get a little noisy outside. Overall this place is great!

    Winkel 43 is a legendary stop right on the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt in the Jordaan,…read moreperfectly situated along the Prinsengracht canals and just a short walk from the Anne Frank House. While it functions as a cozy, traditional Dutch brown café, virtually everyone comes here for one main reason: the famous Dutch apple pie (*appeltaart*). It completely lives up to the reputation. Served warm with a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream, it's thick, perfectly spiced, and has an almost cake-like crust that sets it apart. Pairing a slice with a fresh mint tea is pretty much mandatory. Because of its status and location, it's almost always buzzing with people--especially on market days--but the staff manages the perpetual queue remarkably fast. Snagging a table on the outdoor terrace for some people-watching along the canal is hard to beat. Whether you're taking visitors around the neighborhood or just out exploring the Jordaan.

    There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.

    So good I stopped by twice on a 3 day trip to the city…read more I stopped by on my first visit craving a big, hearty sandwich for a late lunch and thought this might be a good find. Happy to report I was very right. I grabbed one of the many outside seats, took a look at the menu that was entirely in Dutch and waited for the wonderful waitress to quickly translate nearly every item for me. I landed on the chicken club and it hit the spot. I arrived hungry but could still only manage to finish half. Chicken was grilled perfectly into thin slices, soft boiled egg was a new touch that I loved, avocado, lettuce and probably a few other things I am forgetting. Oh, and a handful of crisps on the side. On my next visit, it was my last night in Amsterdam and I still haven't tried the infamous fries. I stopped in around 9:30 for a late night snack and a hot ginger tea. The fries were the perfect fries! Thin, crispy, salty. I loved. I also can get behind the mayo thing they do here, even though I really am a ketchup loyalist. Anyway, lunch or dinner or late night snack, this is a good spot. You'll like the foot and you'll love sitting outside people watching, reading your book, whatever.

    Friendly service, great food, comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Add to this, it is located very…read moreclose to our hotel and convenient tram stops. We ate there three separate times on our week long vacation.
