The place is tucked away in an uninspiring mall in an uninspiring place in Amstelveen, but this says nothing about the quality of their sandwiches and salads. Highly recommended!

First to review! Winning :)…read more So if you head into the center of old Amstelveen on a Saturday morning after cycling 25 kms you will find there are not many options for a coffee. Luckily La Gare was open. It was moderately busy and relatively quiet when we entered, then two very loud tables entered along with kids who did laps around the cafe - not the cafe's fault, but not pleasant either way! Anyways, back to the food and drink. The coffees were very good, and the food, once it came (there was a bit of a mishap in communicating the order to the chef, we were told), was okay. Pretty standard Dutch fare. They apologized massively for the delay with the food and offered us free coffees. The free coffees plus the departure of the old tables and running children were very welcomed. Don't seek it out but if you're in the neighborhood and need to make a pit stop, go for it.

The line was HUGE at lunch (luckily, I came in right before the rush around 1130), but the line moves quickly with a new person being rung up every 10-20 seconds. I had two sandwiches and one soup for 5.60 (she gave me an extra .10 for some reason). Unbelievable value. I will definitely be coming here over and over.

It so happens that these cheap sandwiches aren't just a piece of cheese between 2 hunks of bread - they are REAL sandwiches with REAL PIECES of kip- not that lunchmeat style kip! I love everything about this shop - they are fast and have serving customers down to a science. Everything is the same price (1.70) and though it's not gourmet, it is awesome and (as their name states) lekker!

My company had a large convention in Amsterdam for years and we would always stay at the Crown Plaza in Zuid. As a vegan there weren't too many options in the area but Mech Make & Take has a couple wonderfully delicious vegan sandwiches and a bunch vegetarian that can easily be vegan if you leave out any cheese and mao. Regardless if you are vegan or not, these sandwiches are great. The staff is polite and fast, the seating inside is nice with tons of open seating. Great for a fast lunch meal!

The service is great - my buddy Randy always remembers me, the sandwiches are consistent and their 'order at the counter - we bring it to you' system seems to really work! The coffee is also solid and the prices are reasonable. I'm at Mech every week or two and there's a reason! Now if only they'd add regular, killer soups - it'd be perfect!

We wanted to find somewhere to eat within a short walk of the Museumplein as we had 1:15 p.m…read more tickets for the Rijksmuseum. My wife located this place and we met up with our daughter there after she dropped off her rented bike nearby. If you walk to the far end of the park from the Rijksmuseum and turn left at the street that borders the park there, the restaurant is about 2 blocks along there. You enter into a small waiting area and proceed between 2 counters. The best way I can describe the process is that it was like an ice cream shop in the U.S. They had glass displays showing what was available for meals - varieties of pasta, etc. You could select from those, or I think they had salads also. You place your order and then grab a table. A server will bring the food out when it is ready. Seating was a bit limited, so there could be a wait for a table. We arrived just before they got busy, though. They have about 5 or 6 small tables on the ground floor. If those are full, a fallback option is to ascend the spiral stairs up to a low-ceilinged loft. This is where we ate. The chairs here were fine but the tables were quite small - almost like a high coffee table. It wasn't hard to eat off these, just a bit different than usual. Also, if you are much over 6 feet tall, the ceilings will require caution. They can probably accommodate another 3 - 4 small parties up there. Everyone liked their food, which definitely had that 'prepared fresh' vibe. I got the pasta and had no trouble finishing it. I'd definitely consider eating here again were I back in the area.

Mostly semi Italian deli items. I had ravioli, stuffed mushroom, roasted veggies, rocket and generous parmigiana sprinkling. They have tables so we could eat there.

I wish we lived closer so that we could come all the time! Definitely be sure to make a reservation, as I can see how it could get busy inside, especially on a weekend.
