Possibly the most perfect brunch place in the world. Food is out of this world (plus affordable) and the selection of brunch-friendly cocktails is perfect. Go on a weekday if you can (it's a perfect mid-week pick-me-up) as it gets mad during the weekend (or make a reservation). read more

As a former Melbourne-dweller, I nearly keeled off my bike when I passed this spot. Melbourne is one of the most delicious places I have ever been and I was thrilled to read the menu -- this place is for serious brunchers. My friend opted for the namesake dish which was really just a traditional Aussie breakfast. Sausage, eggs, roasted mushrooms, garlic spinach, chutney and wonderfully done baked beans plus an order of yogurty muesli managed to fill him up. I chowed down on the Mexican-inspired corn fritters with salsa, guacamole, and was pleasantly pleased. My breakfast bellini also hit the spot. The service was good, the brunchers were predominantly Australian, and the ambiance is cozy and chic. Amsterdam's brunch scene is still new to me, but I'm fairly confident when I say that this place is worth rolling out of bed at a decent hour on the weekend. read more

Let me start by saying the bloodies are the seriously the best I've had in Amsterdam - classic and mexicana are both delicious. However, the food was a letdown. The chorizo corn fritters didn't have enough chorizo and fritters a bit flavorless. The cauliflower hash was just meh - even with meat, it didn't have a distinct anything. The smoked mackerel was a bit too fishy and I'm glad I didn't order it. It gets really busy, but I guess all good brunch places do in Amsterdam, so have a reservation or be ready to get turned away. read more

Oh yeah, this little kingdom is situated in one of the most fameus neighborhoods of Amsterdam, but when you walk trough the door - you are in Aussies Heaven. Only English and good (brunch)food. The other details are fogged windows, heavy fatty cooking fragrances, people speaking English and a little bit messy interior. But the friendliest staff and goooood food. Three stars? Because we waiting for at least 40 minutes until we got our order and the poached egg wasn't so fluffy. read more

Little Collins would get FIVE stars... if the wait didn't take so long. Let me put it this way: I finished nearly a third of my novel by the time my orders came through. That's one looooooooong wait. To be fair, the brunch menu is probably one of the best in town. Friends and I had a really difficult time deciding what to select. We went back and forth, ordered Bellinis to pass the time, and finally decided on our orders after nearly ten minutes of deliberating the menu. The choices looked that good. I ended up getting the ¡A HUEVO!, but swiped bites off of my friends' plates. Every single plate was a rockstar. The ¡A HUEVO! was a perfect mix of savory and sweet - silky egg yolk from the baked eggs mixed wonderfully with the braised ox and avocados. However, I adored the BANOFEELICOUS (peanut butter + french toast) and SAUSAGE & WAFFLES (sweet potato waffles were bomb!). While I don't want to have to go through the perils of long wait times again, for the brunch menu alone, it may be worth it. read more

Good breakfast and a great staff! We stumbled upon this great little restaurant and loved the fresh take on breakfast.

Very yummy "tapas" style restaurant in De Pijp! Great for people watching with good food and service. read more

This Antipodean favorite is simple and chilled out, with relaxed friendly staff and music to match. However, the food is not the same; it is complex, layered and super lekker. The Chorizo Iberico is a mouth watering mix of punchy salsa verde and soothing creme fraiche. The coffee is from Lot Sixty One, another fantastic Australian run artisan business in town. read more

It was an embarrassing day to be Australian. I excitedly recommended to my Dutch friend, that we should go to Little Collins in De Pijp, a short ride from where we had just done a workout. Fanging for some solid brunch goodness, we pulled up stumps and walked into the premises, only to be ignored by either an understaffed cafe, or hipsters fresh from 'somewhere more dope from where you're from' **judgementally looks person up-and-down** Once seated, the menus came and the waitstaff went, only to reappear and take our orders about 10 minutes later. Granted, she was friendly, had good banter, enthusiastically took our order and was restoring my faith in what is a semi-famous place for good eats. I was hopeful that this experience was going to prove the review in Het Parool's August 17th issue of P.S wrong, and I would be writing the resistance piece on Little Collins. Unfortunately, like the Rüfüs song, You Were Right, Gillies van der Loo. They do exude disinterest, like a kid following a butterfly's flight during an AusKick game at The Gabba. Our food arrived before our drinks, and catching the attention of waitstaff regarding our missing drinks was like trying to catch a tram down Little Collins Street in Melbourne - you have two walk to find it. We also had to point out that the order was wrong, and sausage was not requested with the Cilbir. No less than 25 seconds later, the food reappeared, with suspicious imprints of where sausage used to be on the bed of yoghurt. Luckily it's not the meat flavour that annoys me. When we were enjoying our food - because yes, once it does arrive it is flavoursome, delicious, layered with textures and a good-sized portion - a third waitstaff arrived with our drink. No, I'm not forgetting my plural for more than one drink. There was two of us, and one drink arrived. The fourth person of waiter/essing status arrived with the final piece in our brunch puzzle, and by this point, my companion and I needed to get out of here. Watching the waitstaff hurriedly rush around, looking lost (or not looking at patrons at all) is not the type of behaviour that elicits success, which pales in comparison to the two experiences I have had at Little Collins on the Bilderdijk. Funnily enough, one of the waitstaff there said to me, "we pride ourselves on our service, so that Dutch people can recognise what good service is, ya know?" Mate, not even Australians would accept this type of service in Australia. If you want brunch at Little Collins, their cafe on the Bilderdijk is a better representation of the quality you'd expect from the Colony. 2.5/5 read more

Solid 3 1/2 *'s plus half for the friendly staff. I went a bit after 9pm and got the last "special", a shrimp avocado crepe. It was delicious and sitting at the bar I was able to watch the chef work. A waiter recommended I try two plates but one was big enough for me and left quite satisfied. I will return for the brunch one day. read more

I've been here many many times, and recommend it for a number of reasons: good food, great neighborhood (right near Sapharti Park in the Pijp and close to some great stores if you feel like making it a day out), and a fun environment for when you have visitors or are visiting. Come for some great bloody marys, a really nice brunch, and the Aussie-theme, but be prepared to wait awhile if it's a peak brunch time or the weekend. Indoor seating is fairly limited, just a few individual raised tables, the bar, and one or two big shared table. But they have some outdoor seating for when the weather is nicer. I've never been for dinner, but I've tried almost everything on their Brunch menu and haven't ever been disappointed. Try the Banh mi Brekkie (Hoisin braised duck, chicken liver pate, fried egg, HOT birds eye chilli, carrot, daikon & coriander salad, baguette.... pretty amazing), or the A huevo! (Spicy braised Ox-cheek, refried beans, baked eggs, smashed avocado, jalapeño salsa, crème fraîche, tortillas). Really interesting combinations and hearty portions. But the menu seems to change fairly frequently, so these options may not be available in a few months :). Worth the wait and the bike ride in the Pijp, always. read more

i have mixed feelings about little collins. the first time i went there, the service was really bad. i was only there for coffee with a friend, and we were treated like they didn't want us there. not nice. the second time, i went for brunch and it was a completely different experience. the waitress was super nice! i had baked eggs with spicy chickpeas - it was good, but not great. maybe a bit too greasy! read more

One of our favourite meals of our Amsterdam trip! We ordered 3 items from the brunch menu - lamb, eggplant and the savoury waffle. All 3 were excellent but the eggplant was out of this world! I wish I could eat that every day. The cappuccinos were excellent and the service was really good too. This place is really close to a local market so be sure to walk off your meal while exploring all the goods nearby! read more

I strongly recommande this place to have a brunch ! I think it is the best place for me to have a brunch in Amsterdam . Nice staff too.

The staffs here are pretty friendly and helpful. We ordered Frank's salmon (15.5 euros)and something with mashed avocado. And 2 glasses of fresh juice. The salmon with fresh mashed avocado is a great combination for salmon and avocado lovers! read more

My daughter and I came here for dinner on a Thursday night. Atmosphere was great, waitstaff friendly, food was just okay. It was recommended that we "share" a plate and the amount of food between us was plenty. We might try again for their breakfast/brunch as that seems to be what they're known for. read more

Came for Sunday brunch with the hubs. The Good:The hollandaise eggs were great especially the kale! The bloody mary also had a good flavor but was kinda pricey at 8€ The Bad: My other half decided to try the enchiladas and he was not so lucky. They used a tomato paste rather than enchilada sause and there was no chicken to new found! I guess we should have known better than to get a texmex staple in Amsterdam but hey, sounded like a good idea at the time. read more

Definitely my favorite brunch place in the city. I would expect higher prices for the sizable portions and quality of the food, but was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable it was, especially among other places i've been to so far in europe. The food was DELICIOUS. i recommend the waffle hollandaise (bottom) which i had, and the turkish eggs which my boyfriend had, who also added sausage. Flavorfully savory and filling!! also a great location, right near albert cuyp market if you want stroopwaffels for dessert. read more

Little Collins - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

My boyfriend and I came in for breakfast on Easter and we were absolutely blown away by the inventive, beautifully plated and absolutely delicious meals we had!!! We live in Los Angeles and we just know that a place like this in Los Felix would have lines around the block! I had the avocado toast which with its generous portions and amazing toppings, put any American version to shame. He had the brioche and was practically drooling at its exquisite flavor. This place is a gem and we're so glad we took a chance on it! read more

I spent three weeks in Europe this summer and I think this particular dining experience was the worst of all experience, our waiter was so rude to a point to tell us he won't give us water because we should be leaving since we have been occupying his table for 45 minutes. I am not sure why he was upset with us, we were very polite, order a plate and a drink per person, so what's his problem?? Unknown, but honestly is wanna give him a black eye. Please do not go!!! Just in case the management read this email the date is 6/8, lunch around 1:30 pm, my waiter was a skinny white guy. Please fire him. read more

This place is just great. I love the creativity in the menu. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes, in my opinion. I particularly like the Broken Egg Curry & The Grazer. I haven't been for dinner, but Brunch/Lunch are fantastic. They make a great bloody mary as well. read more

were craving brunch so we made the journey to de pijp for some highly rated on yelp brunch. got to sit at the front bar by the window - which would have been wonderful - but it was so hot inside that the windows completely fogged/condensed over to the point where to see outside i was drawing hearts on the window to look through. i ordered the eggs benedict and to their credit i have to say that it was my favorite hollandaise sauce i've ever tasted. it had a brilliant lemony tang in each bite and really was wonderful. unfortunately it sort of got lost in the HUGE piece of sour dough that my eggs and ham were served on and one of my poached eggs was overcooked. husband got the corn fritters with chorizo - and it was a major let down. we expected it to come with a few big chunks of chorizo... or at least a chorizo hash.... but it was really a thin slice of chorizo between each corn fritter. he ordered homefries on the side ... which turned out to be more breakfast potatoes than not because they weren't crispy. ordered a flat white and the coffee was burned but i was suffering from massive caffeine deficiency and needed to drink it instead of waiting for another. overall it's probably a 2.5 for that experience - but the hollandaise sauce makes this a "round up" to three. read more

Great brunch food! We had the corn and coriander fritters as well as the french toast, and washed it down with some freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice. The place feels very laid back and lies just next door to a nice second hand store, you really feel like a hipster, in the good way. Recommend it for brunch! read more

I had high hopes for Little Collins as so many expats in Amsterdam had told me this place was fabulous. However, on Saturday morning when we went there, it didn't really live up to its reputation. The coffee was actually terrible (a whole cup of burnt foam for a latte) and nothing like lush-Melbourne coffee at all. The scrambled eggs and corn fritters were great, but again, if this was served in Melbourne i'd be pretty underwhelmed. By Amsterdam standards, the brunch food is good though. I will go again to see whether we just caught Little Collins on a bad morning. To their credit, the staff were delightful though and the service was second to none. read more

We didn't even plan to eat here, just happened to walk by on our way around town. I'm glad we did. The restaurant is small but clean and neat. The staff that day were just our waitress and the cook. After we sat and ordered our brunch, we were able to witness the cook prepare our dishes fresh. We each enjoyed our dishes which included eggs hollandaise, pork belly crepe, and bangers and mash. Afterwards, we had to try a slice of the chocolate cake we had been eyeing since we walked in. It had been baked a few minutes earlier and was amazing. Overall, we very much enjoyed the experience and our waitress was attentive and very friendly. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and food is superb. Have been coming here for months and has been "Gezellig" every time.

Definitely Melbourne style and quality meal close to the centre of Amsterdam. Great food and friendly staff!!!

Had brunch here which was good not great. The pork belly was a bit tough maybe they were having a bad day. The restaurant is tight and it's not really a comfortable environment for the price you're paying. The menu looks promising but I found they didn't really deliver. read more

5 stars based purely on their macchiato. Highly recommend escaping the tourist traps to chill in this neighbourhood gem.

It's not as Melburnian as the name would suggest, but it their coffees and all-day breakfasts are definitely not bad. Definitely on the expensive side, though. read more

Terrible terrible experience, waited 30 minutes for a table, over one hour for the food (kitchen problems apparently, which I believe, I was sitting in a spot where I could see the kitchen and the incompetence I witnessed was embarrassing to say the least). Food arrived and tasted fine but partly burnt. Service truly non-existent despite our best efforts. Honestly so fundamentally problematic was surprised to hear this wasn't their opening week. This restaurant was amateur at best, desperately trying to be cool at worst. Avoid. This is Amsterdam, there are endless other fantastic options. read more

Perfect example when they try too hard... we waited 1.5 hours for our food and none were good. Literally no taste. The coffee is nice tho.

Food was great. All four people in our party enjoyed theirs. Service was wonderful. Apparently few or no Dutch folks as waiters. OR they were taught how to do 'service'. Only complaint is that the place is a sound pit at brunch. Very noisy. Very loud. Difficult to hear the guy across the table. On the other hand, we're all happy to add this place to our brunch place list. read more

I read about this place in Bon Appetit Magazine and it was no lie. We had the Mediterranean eggs which came with hummus and a delicious ragu, The eggs hollandaise, the corn fritters, the coconut french toast, and the mexicana bloody mary. All was fantastic. And, in true Aussie style, the coffee was great too. read more

Had the coconut French toast with lemon curd, and found it to be a delicious brunch option. Nice location, and reasonably priced for what I got. Very good lemon curd. read more

One of my fav spots here in Amsterdam. We go there at least once a month for brunch. It is for sure worth the wait. Amazing staff!!!! And really great food. read more

run by a couple of Aussies serving full-on brunch fry ups and then some. sweet&sour pork belly, bacon-corn-coriander fritters, a smoked mackerel-saffron rice-poached egg-yoghurt dish + Mexicana Bloody Mary are unmissable. after, troop over to exotic Albert Cuyp Markt for shopping, haggling and fresh-made stroopwafels. read more

awesome. really good food. PROPER brunch eats, open early, and really, really nice people who work there. my little two year old promptly threw up his morning milk the minute we sat down and the staff was SO nice. cleaned it up, didn't make me feel terrible about it. We ate outside "just in case" he was having tummy issues. turns out, it was just bad luck and he was fine. or maybe that is good luck? anyway, i had the cilantro corn cakes -DELICIOUS. my husband and 5 year old each at the eggs hollandaise, also delicious. and then the little guy ate (with help from dad and brother) the coconut french toast with lemon curd. everything was well made and it was so nice to go someplace with a friendly and lovely waitstaff. can't wait to try other things on the menu and go again. read more
