The windows are big and it feels like when you eating in a cozy living room. There is also a terrace where you can have you dinner outside. For only 35 euro's you can choose your own 3-courses dinner! The kitchen is French, but also have some Spanish and Asian influences. Next to the organic meat and fish, there are also delicious oysters as an appetizer, vetarian dishes and also incredible desserts which you definately cannot skip! For example the chocolate dessert which comes with 3 different chocolatemousse!

The front is a busy bar which had a hip crowd, a nice selection of gin (which I unfortunately food not sample). In the back there are tables providing an atmosphere more suited for conversation. Service was fast and attentive, and gave us a table for one hour (since we had not made any reservation). This was no problem since since and food came promptly. Food was reasonable in price and great tasting, although some would find the portions small. I found them just right. Get some home made French fries on the side if you are hungry. At the end the single espresso was really good. Recommended.

They were extremely apologetic when they mistakenly served me a burger with mayo after I explained I was allergic to eggs. Maybe I've grown accustomed to the "modest" level of service in Amsterdam but the responsiveness of this staff to this mistake was beyond what I expected. The burger though was just ok. Too salty. Overdone for my taste. The bun was odd and chewy. I did like the tomato relish they used as a replacement for mayo. The fries were not special. My fellow diner complained at how literal the goat cheese salad was. Mixed greens with a bunch of goat cheese. Not much else. My recommendation...go for a drink. Check it out. Really the design of the interior is worth a stop. Take a risk with the menu and maybe you'll find something you'll like.

I have tried their famous hamburger with fries and I am a fan!! The hamburger was big and juicy with very nice spicy relish on the top of it. They serve it with a portion of fries on the side.

I loved that the menu is very seasonal and had plenty of options for our group, which included a vegetarian and someone who doesn't eat lactose (me hehe).

Not sure what else is on the menu as we just ordered apple pie with whipped cream. A single slice is plenty for two people. It is not overly sweet, the crust is really good (a slight taste of Biscoff cookies to me), and it has a few raisins in it as well. It was a nice night nice so we sat outside. The patio is large and seats plenty. The service is good, not great, but I was okay with it. My needs were meager - get my pie! N*joy!

The pie itself was dry and not as flavorful as the other places we tried.

I would not recommend making a special trip here and opt for a bar who serves apple pie.

Pregnant women often get cravings. This is science, nothing new. Well my craving was for pancakes,…read morefluffy, buttermilk, syrup dripping all down the sides--pancakes. I never crave them in the states, but in Amsterdam the craving became a beast I had to reckon with. All of the restaurants that advertise "pancakes" are actually serving what Americans call crepes. I was disappointed until we stumbled upon Toast It! It's freaking adorable, first off, the interior decor with mint striped seats and 50's neon signs are begging to be photographed. The food was pictured-worthy too. I regret not getting the milkshake after seeing the pictures all over their Instagram page. Of course, I ordered the pancakes, which come with sliced bananas, strawberries and blueberries on top. The pancakes were exactly what I have been looking for. A stack of three thick, fluffy pancakes, crispy on the edges and melt-in-your-mouth soft in the middle. I got a side of bacon too because ya know, protein. This stop is a must if you're craving toasties or pancakes, any time of day.

It does feel like you are in an American diner based on theme and menu. The toasties are very good! Thick sourdough bread, chipotle mayo (with the Philly Toasti) and cheese are lekker.

I usually go here for a coffee before my movie at the adjacent theater. The staff has my coffee over in less than 5 minutes, irrespective of how crowded it is.
