    We have only had drinks here late in the evening but they have always been accommodating and friendly. The prices are good for this area of Amsterdam. Not a tourist trap as you'd expect in this area. It's a bit hidden off the main path, which gives it the charm. It's a very large space indoors with a huge bar and lots of tables. The toilets are way in the back and tini-tiny compared to the rest of the establishment. This gives me a little anxiety but there is a toilet where you can close the door.

    This is the cutest alley I've ever walked down. It's great for groups and happy hour. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommended for locals and tourists.

    What an incredible find! I absolutely loved the ambiance, so creative and eclectic. Our bartender was incredible as well very chatty and busy too! We had the bitterballs they were so good the mustard had so much flavor wish I knew what kinds it was I might be back in a few weeks!

    Stopped in for a lunch on a gorgeous day after walking tour in city central. A little hard to given its entrance in a small alley like side street. Look harder; it's worth it. They have outdoor seating in the alley like walkway, indoors in a pub like setting, or in a brighter atrium covered patio. A big place by central Amsterdam standards. I had the traditional herring with onions and potato salad. My companion had a walnut and goat cheese salad. Both very yummy. Accompanying were fruit juice shakes. My Strawberry Banana really hit the spot. Very uncrowded on a weekday noon. Friendly waitress. Would definitely eat here again.

    Local cafe which makes me feel like stepping into a bar at montmatre paris. I like it for: - the vibe (very french) - the interior - food - luve music (jazz etc) If you are home sick from.paris, this is the perfect solution.

    After having a meal that I have no recollection of actually eating, we headed down an allyway that was next to the cafe (I'm starting to actually remember the place now) and come to this place. I managed to convince my brother to have a beer before we made our way back to the hotel. Well, it ended up being this place, and this place is your classic hole in the wall European bar, namely because it is hidden down an alleyway and is basically a hole in the wall. Like a lot of these bars this is more than just a beer bar, but they certainly do serve beer - I know because I drank one. The thing is that this place is actually pretty cool, even if it is only because it is hidden down an alleyway. The other thing with this bar is that it had some pretty cool decorations that did give it a bit of character, however it is the alleyway location that really gives it some character.

    Cafe Zeppos is a lovely European fusion restaurant hidden on a quiet alley. The alley is named after Gebed Zonder End (Prayer without End) which is in reference to the convent that stood here in the 17th century. This friendly cafe is in the center of the tourist zone and nearby University of Amsterdam. My Dutchman toke me here last night spontaneously for dinner. The waiters were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we did not make reservations, but the staff was still kind enough to still seat us with the best seats in the house, despite it being full. Zeppos menu is diverse with a variety of dishes to appease all appetites. Although, I have Celiac I was very fortunate to find many wonderful dishes on the menu to compliment my dietary issues.

    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.

    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.
