    Eggs on toast w smoked salmon
    Grace N.

    Food was fresh, and the coffee was good. But I will say it wasn't the best food I've had here. Was very plain. Maybe it was what I ordered. The service and ambience were great though!

    Bacon egg frittata

    Sat outside by the canal, trendy vibe. Lots of people walking by and an occasional car squeezing through. great food. Fast service, which seems to be a rarity here.

    Small cafe in Centrum/De Wallen. It looks like it's counter-serve, but it's full service. Indoor and outdoor seating. I'd recommend indoor seating since the sidewalk and road are narrow and you'd have garbage trucks and such passing by. Good food and service. Salads and sandwiches. The food came out quickly. Smoked salmon open sandwich: several flavors that work together without overpowering each other. They do take Visa cards.

    This could have been an easy 5 stars if it were only for the food and views but service was rather poor at this establishment. Zero acknowledgment from anyone and everyone, especially the "supervisor" who made us wait for 20 mins while there were plenty of empty tables by the canal and folks who walked in after us seated themselves without any interaction with the host. Guess that's how it worked here but I didn't understand why we were specifically asked to wait. Food was quite delicious when our orders were finally taken and served and eating our meal by the canal was phenomenal. It wasn't a surprise that the check came right as we finished eating. To me, preferential treatment is completely unacceptable. We received amazing service all around everywhere else on our trip.

    A beautiful environment to eat outside near the canals, so special. They were busy but our service was quick and the portion sizes of the food was well worth the price. Our server was helpful and gave us suggestions for substitutions. Everything tasted to fresh and delicious. A truly phenomenal spot that is so charming.

    HOLY. COW. Best brunch. Ever. I was visiting Amsterdam for 3 days and stopped in 3 times! What an absolute gem. Great coffee. Great energy. Great brunch. Cheers!

    Salmon open sandwich

    Great place for a gluten free open sandwich. And try the apple and ginger tea. Delicious on a cold, wet Amsterdam day.

    Well Made Cappuccinos

    Welcoming Cafe in the center of Red Light District. Recommend if you're looking for a simple healthy bite to eat. The salads & sandwiches are beautifully presented with an mix of fresh and colorful veggies. Everyone I watched that received their food smiled when it was set down in front of them. They also have a variety of homemade baked goods available. I'm pretty sure they have some gluten free options as well. Specialty coffees, teas, fresh juice and even some smoothie options. They make a good cappuccino that's thick, frothy, and creamy on top. The inside is quite relaxing and has an interesting mix of decor. I liked the cute marble tabletops. Staff was very friendly & helpful which is always a plus in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, you don't get that everywhere you go. Can be a bit of a wait for food, but that's because they make everything made to order with love. Perfect place for people who usually visit organic, vegan, vegetarian style cafes back at home, but they do serve meat items here as well.

    I wanted to try everything here! Settled on the vegan bliss bowl and couldn't stop eating the bright pink beet hummus with fresh and nicely roasted veggies. So many colors on our plates - a welcome nourishing meal on vacation. We sat at a little table on the canal outside the cafe and enjoyed watching the boat and foot traffic. This is a must for breakfast or lunch in Amsterdam.

    This place was great! The food was so fresh and very reasonably priced! Service was attentive. I got the salmon open faced sandwich and the bacon and avocado sandwich. We added chucked to the bacon avo and it was fantastic, so juicy and flavorful! Will be back!!!

    Apple ginger tea
    Tyson G.

    A great place for lunch in Amsterdam. Everything at Ivy & Bros tastes fresh and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Make sure to try one of their teas- to me their apple ginger tea was worth the visit on its on.

    Frittata. Chicken open sandwich. Orange juice.

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win. Don't make the mistake of walking past it for as long as I did!

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!
