    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!

    Had such a memorable dinner at Brasserie Ambassade in Amsterdam on our last dinner of the trip. The…read morerestaurant is beautifully decorated inside, with a great atmosphere right along the canal. We were a family of five, so unfortunately there wasn't enough space for us to sit outside, but the interior was beautiful and made for a really nice evening. For appetizers, we ordered the caviar and seabass tartare. Both were delicious, although the real problem was that the kids kept asking for more caviar . Definitely a good sign! For the entrees, among other things, we shared the tomahawk steak and ordered the fish of the day. The tomahawk was cooked perfectly medium rare and was tender and flavorful, while the fish was simply delicious and beautifully prepared. Great food, beautiful setting, and a really memorable family dinner in Amsterdam. Definitely a place we'd come back to.

    Top Notch Breakfast and Dinner…read more.. Brasserie is the restaurant inside the Ambassade Hotel. My wife and I...along with another couple...had 4 breakfasts and 1 dinner there so this review reflects our experience. - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 (for Old Town and the Jordaan) - Exterior: 5 - Interior: 5 - Atmosphere: 5 - Menu: 5 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 (though the head waiter at dinner was full-of-himself) - Price and Value: 5 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the Old Town and Jordaan parts of Amsterdam. - Exterior: Handsome. A beautifully restored and maintained property. - Interior: Contemporary. Brasserie is a high end spot across 3 rooms, yet remains comfortable where conversation is easily accomplished. - Menu: Very healthy buffet at breakfast plus some items which can be ordered. Dinner offers French fare with a relatively light touch...though very different from the wellness-oriented breakfast. - Food: Excellent. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but full of healthy high quality items. I had 3 unbelievable versions of granola spooned from large jars and covered my bowl with the best tasting light Greek yogurt. Fruit and fish was super fresh...bread and pastries baked on premises amazing. Others in our group chose made-to-order egg dishes. It's all part of staying at the hotel. Dinner transformed Brasserie into a bistro with a French twist on many favorite dishes. Check the menu online. Portions are small - as expected - but quality was high. However, prices were very reasonable with most items under $30. - Service: Homey at breakfast..."French" for dinner. Everyone could not have been more friendly and helpful in the morning. Things were a bit more formal at night with a different crew. The chief waiter was very knowledgeable, but we agreed a bit arrogant. - Price and Value: Worth it. I believe the breakfast buffet is only for guests of the Ambassade Hotel. Brasserie is open to the public at night and quite reasonable. - Parking: None. Who has a car in Old Town? Cons: - The only one readily apparent was the brusque, off-the-cuff nature of our main server at dinner. He wasn't over-the-top, but not in keeping with the friendly vibe of the hotel. And that's coming from 2 couples who grew up in New York City and lived for many years in San Francisco and LA. Anyone can...and should...get dinner at Brasserie. There are many reasons to make reservations for a stay at the Ambassade - including access to their breakfast buffet.

We were staying at Pulitzer Amsterdam, so the location couldn't have been easier. The atmosphere is relaxed but still feels special, and the service was attentive without being over the top. The beef tartare was excellent, really well balanced and a generous portion. The salmon with roasted tomatoes and Parmesan foam was cooked perfectly, and the flavors worked together without feeling heavy. The sea bass beurre blanc was another solid choice. We also ordered fries with a Gouda crème dipping sauce, which were hard to stop eating. For dessert, the chocolate tartelette was rich and easily enough for two to share. A really strong start to the trip and a place we'll definitely remember.

Its on a side street so was easy to get a ride to drop us off near one of the major streets. Small selection of wines that ranged from moderate to very expensive. We ordered a bottle of red wine for the meal. We ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters which was nice size and easily consumed. Highly recommend. We ordered the Dry Aged Filet Mignon and the Halibut for our meals. Both were amazing. The steak comes with fries so we should not have ordered the smashed potatoes. The potatoes weren't very good and didn't add anything to a perfect meal. We really enjoyed the entire experience.
