With it's not even 'near' but 'literally' perfect rating, I guess Gartine is not waiting with bated breath for my review. But oh mijn godtje, I feel obliged to add my two cents and say- yes it lives up to its expectations. Knowing that it's so well-loved, I decided to meet there for lunch at 13:45. And it was perfect timing. While they were full, within five minutes and without reservations, I was sitting at their lovely private mezzanine table. I ordered the confit du canard salad, and my friend took a sausage and sauerkraut dish. I thought it sounded a bit dull but it was heavenly, as was my salad. Really, I was raving about sauerkraut? Yep. Our lunch, including two fresh jus d'oranges and two coffees, all served on charming dishes with friendly service came to a mere 29€. I would have gladly paid much more, if that is any endorsement. I can't wait for my next visitor! read more

Gartine - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

My boyfriend and I are huge brunch fans, so we can't come to Amsterdam without experiencing their brunch culture. After doing some research, we found Gartine as one of the fan favs of Amsterdam. We made a reservation via phone a week before we are visiting, and let's just say, they did not disappoint. I got the Eggs Benedict while my boyfriend got the croissant with cheese, and Dutch pancake. If you want to try something special, definitely try their Dutch pancake. They're think (kinda like crepe) and aren't as heavy as American pancakes. It is probably one of our favorite meals in Amsterdam. Do note that this is kind of a "hole in the wall" place, you'll not be disappointed! read more

Wow. Seriously. Wow. We luckily snagged a table at lunch, which is almost impossible without a reservation and had one of the better lunches of the year, certainly from this trip. Must visit, but must call in advance!! read more

This was my first stop in Amsterdam after getting off the plane. My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to get a table without making a reservation. But soon after we got there, it filled up quick and people were turned away at the door. We ordered the large breakfast and pancakes. Everything was so delicious, including the coffee and the chai tea that I had. The rhubarb jam was the best thing about this place. I wish I bought a jar to take home with me, but i knew I couldn't take it on the plane :( The staff was so incredibly friendly, and they spoke English, which was a godsend for us since we didn't know any Dutch. I honestly loved everything about this place. Definitely go to this place if you have the chance, just make sure you make reservations so you're not turned away at the door. read more

Good, basic, fast, friendly staff in a small and cozy, but bustling place. I had the "large breakfast" which wasn't that large by my overweight American standards, but ended up being just enough food. Surprise! It consisted of a small and strong coffee, deliciously fresh squeezed orange juice, two pieces of sourdough toast, one fried egg, a few slices of two different kinds of cheese, a croissant, a piece of french toast (with apples somehow cooked into it) and apple compote, a huge chunk of butter and two amazing jams for all those carbs. All presented quite nicely too. I came out of a meeting in the area shortly before 11am and needed to grub. Fortunately, a quick search for brunch in the Yelp app lead me here. It's a small spot, with a charming air. Not a lot of decor, but it doesn't really need it. The feeling is modern old world (if that actually means anything) and the menu is basic and brief. Just what you need. Apparently reservations are needed or perhaps just recommended. When I arrived there were a couple of open tables and I sat down right away. As I was eating I noticed that as people came in, the staff were checking a written list of what I assumed were reservations. I guess I made it in right before the rush. After eating, on my way out, I noticed a glass cooler stacked with fantastic looking deserts. I wish I had seen it on my way in. read more

Worth the hype. I had tried to eat here before, but I didn't have a reservation and they were completely full. There are only a few tables, so either get a reservation or come at off-peak hours. After finally having eaten there, it was totally worth it. The breakfast is delicious and filling, served in a warm and friendly atmosphere. I had a croissant, homemade jams,* french toast,* eggs,*, bacon, and tea/coffee. (*As other patrons have mentioned, these were the outstanding breakfast items.) read more

Fresh, delicious and fast! My husband and I were in Amsterdam on vacation and found this place on Yelp. Very friendly staff that seated us right away (although the got busy very quickly and had to turn others away). We were there around 11:30 for brunch. The food was amazing and you can tell they put thought into their dishes. I got the eggs benedict type dish. It's a great farm-to-table restaurant. I would love to go back for dinner... read more

Absolutely fantastic. We did the full high tea for lunch and we were very pleased. Everything is homemade and was delicious. The carrot red pepper with coconut milk soup with a drizzle of truffle oil was the best soup I have ever eaten! The tea finished with several homemade 's. We each had a favorite but they were all delicious. This is a must do spot when visiting Amsterdam. read more

I finally got a chance to try out Gartine, a place that has terrific reviews and is generally regarded as one of the best spots for breakfast/brunch in the city. It wasn't planned, and we had made no reservation, but since we were walking around rather early and it was 10 minutes before they opened, we figured it might just be our day. Luckily, we were the 3rd in line without a reservation and the friendly hosts offered us a table but on the condition that we didn't take more than 30 minutes to eat and leave. We took the offer. For brunch, we had coffees, an order of French toast, and the scrambled egg on sourdough. Coffee was great. The French toast seemed rather tiny and dull to me. It seemed hastily put together and I didn't enjoy it much, if at all. The eggs were delicious, slightly garnished, and the bread was nice and crisp. They had some delicious looking cakes in the refrigerator behind us, but we decided not to stuff ourselves any more. We were done in 18 minutes, including paying the bill and practicing some Dutch! How's that for efficiency?! The location is perfect, and the hosts amazing, who clearly love what they do. As a vegetarian (who eats eggs), I feel that there was not much on offer. Worth another try. read more

My vocabulary isn't extensive enough to adequately convey how wonderful my meals were at Gartine. I had the opportunity to dine at several restaurants while we visited Amsterdam, and none of them came close to the quality of food and service that we experienced at Gartine. I had seen Gartine listed in a travel booklet I consulted before embarking on our trip, and so it was at the top of my list of places to check out while we were in town. We stopped in for lunch and coffee, and I ordered the cream of goat cheese with roasted pumpkin, smoked bacon and sourdough toast -- it was outstanding. The pumpkin had an exquisite taste and was perfectly roasted. Sean C. had their toasted muesli bread with softly stewed onions, white beans, old Beemster cheese and sage butter -- need I say more? He was in heaven. Dutch cheese in general is fantastic, but a combination like that? He loved the combination of cheese and sage butter. The next time we went to Gartine was for high tea, and it blew us both away. The savory treats were tiny and delicate but were each bursting with flavor. The best part, however, was the fact that we were able to share, like, six slices of different desserts. EVERYTHING was perfect. Like I said, I don't think I have the right words to describe how much in love I was with everything. It was the beauty and aesthetics of an Anthropologie, but with delicious food. Perfect. read more

This place has GREAT food! We only had a chance to eat breakfast here twice, but we wished we came back again for high tea. The Eggs were so creamy The Bread and Jam were delicious! The coffee was SO GOOD. The decor and vibe was very cozy and cute as well. This was one of the best breakfasts I have had in my life. Thank you Gartine. I love you. Note: Try to call ahead and book your table in advance. read more

This was the best breakfast I had in Amsterdam. I had the big breakfast which came with some bread, french toast, croissant, coffee, fresh orange juice, ham & cheese and marmalade. Best thing is that everything is homemade! So yummy. And that for only 12,95 € !! My boyfriend was a bit annoyed because they don't have wifi and also don't accept visa.. So for him I don't think he was too happy with the place because of that.. But to me it didn't really matter as long as the food makes me happy :) read more

Gartine has been a favorite of mine for years. Hidden in an alleyway called Taksteeg, this beautiful little shop serves great breakfast, lunch and high teas. Everything that's served here is homemade and has either been grown in an organic garden by the owners themselves, or bought from other local, organic shops. The coffee comes in big cups, and you should definitely take a good look at the knives and forks because I'm sure none of them match, but all of the plates and cutlery is gorgeous. The reason for 4 stars is that they're booked full most of the times I want to go there, so I'd advise you to book a table ahead, especially for the weekends. read more

Amazing spot for a delicious and charming meal! Small place so be sure to call for reservation. Great food and friendly service!

I have never ordered an egg salad sandwich in a restaurant before. The Gartine one was so very delicious with truffle oil and ham and micro greens and delicious bread that I may never order another anywhere else. I dearly hope to go back to Amsterdam some day - such a beautiful city - and go back to this lovely little restaurant that serves the food they grow in their gorgeous garden. Check out their website. There's even a Kookboek that i can't read, but the pictures are beautiful. read more

I was walking around on a freezing day looking for a good soup to warm me up and discovered this nice little spot. This place definitely separates its self from the usual grade in Amsterdam. I went with the morning harvest Garden Soup and a Winter-Bread Pastrami Sandwich. Now I've had monster pastrami sandwiches in NYC; but this was on a whole other level. I later came back the next day with my friend for Afternoon Tea which surpassed my London breaks. Veggie Quiche, sandwich, Smoked-Salmon cream filled choux pastry, cakes.... and a nice pot of Tea. Everything was perfect. BTW, if your coming for dinner they don't seem to serve wine. Mind you I would suggest reservations as this small place and gets very crowded. It would be nice if the tables where spaced further apart. read more

I loved this place. Everything was fresh, delicious and felt lovingly prepared. We didn't have reservations but they had a couple available tables when we walked in. We walked in at the right time because the place was filled up soon after and we saw a few couples get turned away. The staff are all very friendly (something I immediately noticed about people in Amsterdam) and the owner had a way of charmingly turning people away for lack of available seating with a smile on both parties' faces - something I've never seen happen before. A MUST when visiting Amsterdam. I plan to return to this city again and this will definitely be a stop. read more

This tiny little restaurant offers a delectable breakfast at prices that can't be beat. If you're lucky enough to snag a table you won't be disappointed. We had the two sourdough toast options: one with eggs and salad and the other with Gouda and rhubarb. Both we're excellent. Around us people were chowing down on pancakes, French toast, and pastries - all of which looked phenomenal. Make reservations or get here early as only two tables are open for walk-ins. read more

A lovely cozy place. Slightly hidden but well known and always busy. If you are going midweek then no reservations needed but weekends probably not possible to get a table if you haven't reserved. They have their own homemade jams. A good selection of eggs and high tea for brunch. read more

Best breakfast ever!! We went here twice in less than a week and probably would have gone more times given the opportunity. Delicious eggs, French toast, homemade jams and preserves, fresh baked bread, lovely cheeses and fresh herbs from their garden. Lovely little restaurant with very friendly service. Food so good I seriously considered buying their cookbook even though it was in Dutch with I definitely don't speak a word of. A hidden gem of Amsterdam. read more

Join the chorus!! Went there before they opened at 10am. So despite not having reservations we were able to get a table for four. It's a small place. Our order: Sourdough toast with 3 kinds of Gouda (everyone had a go at my Gouda and were ecstatic) accompanied by an unbelievably delish rhubarb compote; 2 orders of Herb (from their garden) scrambled to a soft perfection with eggs on sourdough toast; our baby (27 yo) had their big breakfast which included croissant, sourdough toast, French toast (the best any of us has ever tasted), with a variety of home-made jams and a perfectly fried egg. OK to be fair to other restaurants we always have brunch but strictly speaking it's not apples to oranges it's more like clementines to sunkist; the laborious point I am trying to make is that it's the best breakfast we've ever had and a terrific start to our Amsterdam vacation. read more

Excellent french toast and breakfast/brunch spot in Centrum. For those expats that are interested. Wonderful food, excellent services. Reservations a must. read more

We tried again the next day and were the first people in the door (over achievers). The owners were friendly and welcoming, and the space is very inviting. I loved the minimal but rustic and earthy decor. The menu is small, but the food is done well and the coffee is very good. We shared the french toast (that apple compote is GOOD) and the scrambled eggs on toast (loved the addition of. . . . maybe garlic flowers?. . . in the eggs - so doing that at home). It started filling up as we ate, but never to capacity. Once I saw the big breakfast option with all the pastries come out, along with the housemade preserves, I had a little bit of order envy, but what we had was great, so no complaints. Loved the cake case too, showing all the scrummy offerings being whipped up in the teeny tiny kitchen. read more

Cute little place to have brunch. Feels like a mix of locals and yelpers! We arrived at 11am on a Sunday morning and were lucky to grab the only free table. I really enjoyed my eggs benedict, had a great flavour. The pile of lettuce wasn't needed and the ham could have been smoked or a little less like it just came out of a packet. Seems hard to get a great atmosphere and food in Amsterdam. This place provides both and is actually pretty cheap. I would return if we we're hear longer and that's a first for me and restaurants here. read more

Possibly the best breakfast I ever had. The Eggs Benedict Royal with soft boiled eggs, smoked salmon, sauce Hollandaise, and brioche. Holy crap! Amazing! They take reservations, so try to get one in advance. Otherwise you'll have to show up when they open at 10am which is what we did. read more

The cutest café tucked away in Amsterdam. Had the friendliest staff and served the best food! Would recommend the Eggs Benedict and the Yogurt Bowls. read more

The best! Small little restaurant, sits about 20 max but from what I understand, they have their own garden so food is fresh! We had the asparagus soup and egg sandwich with prosciutto slices. The mayo and cucumber was amazing. If your lucky you will walk in and there will be seats available! The pies aren't so bad either! Try the pistachio! read more

So fantastic! No complaints. The food was absolutely wholesome and fresh.

Gartine - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Had a great brunch with two friends, and we all agreed the food was amazing. I had a sourdough toast with swiss cheese and peas as well as a mint tea and it was all delicious! The ingredients are fresh and tasty, the bread was the right amount of crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and the cheese was to die for. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the decoration is cosy and warm and the prices are surprisingly low for such quality. It does get a little loud when it is full, but nothing to complain about. I will definitely come back for more, their desserts look amazing! read more

Most amazing breakfast I've had in years. Eggs Benedict were fluffy with rich cheese and delicate ham on soft toast. Pancakes were more like crepes - rich with apricot, lemon curd and cream flavors blended with cinnamon. Ambiance was intimate. Well done! read more

My wife and I returned to Amsterdam after 5 yrs and this was a must to revisit. Amazing food and gracious hosts. The Benedicts are fantastic and homemade jams are unbeatable. Phenomenal breakfast spot. Best in our 8 yrs of European travel. read more

All sublime and extremely fresh and generous. The ingredients reign supreme here, with Slow Food Ark of Taste cheese and organic homegrown vegetables (delicious lettuces, herbs, fruit). The yogurt mixed with marscapone, eggs Benedict, and ham toast with celeriac were all excellent options that I would recommend to any friend. We had no room for any of the desserts! read more

I was in Amsterdam for a short 2 day stay and stumbled upon this gem. We walked in at about 11 in the morning and did not make any reservations. The waitress politely advised us that someone made a reservation for the table at 1pm and asked if we were ok with this. 2 hours was more than enough, and then we seated right away. The restaurant is pretty small, and it was filled up quickly. We ordered the iced tea with rose honey and lime, pancake with raspberry and walnut, and the smoked salmon eggs benny. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The tea was very tasty and refreshing on a hot day. I would especially recommend the pancake. Instead of using syrup, they use a rose scented honey, which kinda blew me away. It was perfect amount of sweetness and the pancake didn't feel very heavy. This was my favourite meal in entire trip to Paris & Amsterdam. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Amsterdam. read more

Best meal we enjoyed in Amsterdam. Not sure how we got so lucky, but we had the table that sits above everyone on the ledge. Kinda cool. I had a egg salad and my gf had some salmon dish. Both were ridiculous. I say call ahead and reserve the table we had at the top, it was awesome! (The place is very small so another good reason to call ahead) read more

Gartine is a tiny restaurant with delicious fresh food and a lovely atmosphere. I arrived about 15 minutes after opening on a Saturday, and was lucky to snag the last table. The menu has a variety of brunch and breakfast dishes, with a very wide selection of teas and espresso beverages. I ordered the salmon Benedict, and it was one of the best eggs Benedict's that I've had. Incredibly fresh bread, light hollandaise, and delicious dressing. I will be returning! read more

Totally awesome place to eat breakfast!!! GARITINE... has a great feel to it. Plus the food is fantastic. Had scrambled eggs with rye toast and coffee 9.95 Euros. Eggs were cooked perfectly with chive. Served on top of toast with very fresh lettuce .Yep lettuce! And it all went perfectly together. It is a small place I got there at 10 and it filled up minutes later. If you are in Amsterdam eat here it is a great exspearance! read more

Everything about this place is great. The food was excellent. I had a Dutch pancake with salmon and it was probably the best I have ever had. My girlfriend got the yogurt and really enjoyed that as well. In addition we got a croissant to try their homemade jam. The two jams they gave us were both great. Our favorite was the blackberry. The service was also fantastic. It is such a small place that the small staff could perfectly handle everything. We were in a bit of a rush so we were able to finish our breakfast in less than thirty minutes but if you wanted to stay and slowly sip a coffee it seems like that would be just fine as well. read more

I was recommend to Gartine by my host and the first time I went for BK I had to leave since there was no room. I came back for breakfast and it was so good and the service is one of the best in the city that I went back for a late lunch. The Pancakes were great and if you like tea you have to have their tea. read more
