    Mac and cheese,  beet and trout bruschetta and 2 types of tea

    Highly recommended this place!!! Had a beet, trout, and green pea bruschetta plus a small pan of Mac &cheese. Drinks were iced tea lemonade (Arnold Palmer) plus hot tea. Each item was 4E to 7E which to me was quite reasonable for the quality. Great fresh food, great view overlooking the Rijks courtyard. Very refreshing and perfect lunch!!

    A very stylish cafe & the food was fresh & delicious. A friendly young chef Gideon Smit dropped by at our table with fresh strawberries. As tired tourists, it was very refreshing & we felt very welcomed.

    This is such a great little cafeteria in the museum. Much better coffee and food. They keep the place super clean, and you'd want to come here just to eat if you didn't have to pay the museum fee!

    It's a restaurant in a museum. A very famous museum. IT is a take and go type of thing. But don't go asking for the side of the main dish alone - oh no. No way, no how. No way possibly put a price on it. Hahahah! okey dokey The area where you get the food isn't huge, but there are a number of different types of options! We shared an egg salad wrap and it was interesting with some curry mixed in. The cheesy croissant... meh. The tomato soup, meh. So it's basically some place to grab some sustenance before you continue enjoying the museum that you paid and arm and a leg to go see! Tons of seating, views of the park, and part of the outside of the museum.

    Le Tambourin is a gorgeous cafe inside the Van Gogh Museum. It has beautiful food - sandwiches, pastries, salads. And so many beverages - lemonades with fresh fruit, coffee, mint tea, and more! Nice place to escape the crowds in the museum!

    Cheese boards. Civilized way to take a break at the Van Gogh museum.

    18 months since I first gave this spot 5 stars, a revisit (amazing considering I live in Hawaii). Still exceptional! This time I enjoyed a really hearty salad with lettuce, potatoes, bacon, asparagus, and mayonnaise l, and a glass of Merlot. Nearly €15, but wonderful ambiance. You'll need to pay to get into the museum, but once your feet and eyes are overwhelmed by the wonders of Van Gogh this hip restaurant is a true gem. On our first visit in Aug 2017 we had a couple of beers, a cheese board, and a sausage roll. They have many other options. Quality excellent all around. And the displays of food are a work of art themselves. Our treats set is back just under €20. Worth it.

    2 saucizebroodjes with mustard, raspberry yogurt, fresh OJ and cappuccino = 18 EU. Reasonable price for delicious food!

    Came here on a weekday after my visit through the museum at around 11:30am. They had a variety of options including; fruits and juices, sandwiches, pizzas, yogurts, wraps, danish, granola, meats, etc. I opted for the saucizebroodjes (sausage link in a puff pastry), raspberry yogurt and fresh squeezed OJ. The saucizenbroodjes was one of the biggest ones I've seen and tasted so good, especially with mustard on top! The raspberry yogurt was good, but I'm still convinced that the US has the better tasting yogurt. The price for all of this was pretty reasonable 18 EU. Atmosphere was nice and in a self serve cafeteria environment....had free Wifi as well and views of the park. Check it out to as a place to eat and relax after the museum!

    Pizza and aloe water nine euro lol

    Spare ribs were great! My friends enjoyed all the food and beer they ordered. Five stars is rare for me to give unless I was super satisfied with food. The service was great and enjoyed our server. If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. Great location and friendly staff. They say I must try breakfast there. Next time I come in to Amsterdam, I will. Thanks

It is a salad with of course lentils, but also goats cheese and nuts and it tastes delicious! I thought all the salads on the menu looked really good so I really want to come back soon. You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

And despite ALL of our meals in Amsterdam being excellent, this one may have been the best. We wanted to try Dutch food, not totally knowing what to expect and were blown away by the combination of flavors and textures we consumed. We started with the pickled herring which was served with onions and pickles- fresh yet bold! I'm still thinking about those little fishies weeks later. Then we each had the sampler-ish plates (I forget what it was called). Hers was the vegetarian version and mine was with sausage. There were 3 kinds of essentially mashed potatoes with veggies mixed in: 1 with spinach I think, 1 with carrots, and 1 with sauerkraut. Mine came with a delightfully rich gravy and my moms came with some kind of lighter yellow sauce (I think mustard based). We tried these same dishes at other Dutch restaurants during our stay, but nothing beat The Pantry. The service in this quaint and cozy spot was also excellent!

Portions are substantial and a very good value in a neighborhood where tourist-markups are the norm. They have a/c, but in order to feel it you'll need to sit closer to the back of the restaurant/near the kitchen, as there is only one wall unit back there, and they leave the front of the restaurant open to the elements (even in 98+ degree heat).

We dropped off our little frame with our mothers in it. The server originally asked us to place it wherever we see fit, but the owner (she has the manager vibe) came over and helped us picked an even better spot! Service was what I thought was slow, but then we learned that Dutch people are very customer-focused, so we had to initiate an eye contact and signal to them that we are ready to close our check. I also found out that tipping is not required. Who would have thought? Oh, and also water is not free. Lastly, be sure to make a reservation because this place very packed for the duration of our meal and some people got turned away.
