    After a full day of sightseeing, art museum & tours, we wanted to wind down the evening in a casual, comfortable cafe with comfort food vibes. Pompa, a recommendation from our Hotel Concierge, fit the bill and was within walking distance of our Hotel. https://lisaefreedman.com/pompa-a-hidden-gem-in-amsterdams-evolving-food-scene/

    The ambience is really nice too. It was a great day out, so I sat outside, which I am so happy that I did. The service was great. My server made sure to be very attended at my table, and I got my glass of wine and food fairly quickly. The menu changes often but that day, I had the truffle pasta. The pasta was soooo good!

    Pasta Bolognese ....

    Return visit for Pasta Bolognese. Pasta Carbonara was a 101% Bolognese was a 100%. How do you go wrong. If ever in Amsterdam again dinner is covered. Business practice was terrible regarding a Wine opening.. lost a customer and now review changed to 1 star ...

    This restaurant has been decorated so beautifully for Christmas! Cute and quaint interior. We sat at a window and enjoyed watching the world go by. The service and fast and the food delicious! We would recommend Pompa for a speedy, delicious lunch!

    0/10 recommend, The servers were extremely rude and the food was terrible. Do not come here if you want to enjoy your meal.

    Service was terrible clearly young arrogant people working here. Also the food is mediocre at best and portions will leave you hungry

    Pasta was really good and sandwiches are nice. Service is fast and efficient. Cozy restaurant close to the museum and shopping. Upstairs has some nice views to the canal.

    Tomato soup and burrata sandwich

    This was such a cute little restaurant! We were just walking by and decided to pop in. The tomato soup was fantastic, and the service was quick and kind. However, the burrata sandwich was pretty hard and just okay. I'd probably skip it next time--unless I'm ducking in to escape the rain and craving some soup.

    Pasta Gamberi

    De bonnes pâtes, bien cuites, mais peut-être meilleures pour beaucoup si elles ne sont pas al dente ! Le goût est assez bon et les saveurs sont subtiles. Les gambas sont bien préparées. Un bon plat dans l'ensemble !

    Had this place saved for my visit to Amsterdam and it did not disappoint. Even though it was busy when I walked in, got seated in their downstairs area and ordered a Chardonnay and the seafood pasta which was delicious. So glad I had the chance to check this place out.

    My wife and I stopped by Pompa our first night in Amsterdam and we were very impressed! Quaint little tapas place in the museum district, quiet when we went which we love. Our first course was manchego cheese, Serrano ham, bread and olives, and lamb lollipops. Every bite was simply delicious, but the lamb was the star of the show! So tender and lean and savory, when the course was done there were only bones left. The bread was freshly baked, crusty and warm, and served with olives & fresh aioli. We were still hungry so we got a few more plates. Lamb kebabs (suggested by the waitress), calamari, and more bread & olives (because I love fresh bread!) again, we loved every bite! My wife washed everything down with a couple glasses of chilled Spumante while I had Heineken (Amsterdam after all). Service was excellent. It was pretty empty but the place is quite small so I got the sense it would be the same regardless. Like most European service it was attentive without being overbearing. They want you to enjoy your meal and the experience without having to answer a ton of "how is everything" questions. We ate at probably a dozen places during our trip and Pompa was hands down our favorite.

    Combination plate! Everything was good but small portion for the price.
    Sadie A.

    Overall really tasty! Some plates were a miss but we just miss ordered (don't get a panini if you can have the delish pasta), walked right in and got seated and the employees were very nice. Cute place and fun to go with family or friends. I recommend the penne funghi (it was everyone at the tables favorite!)

    Food was average. Price was average. Service was average. Bitterballen was not good - I think I just don't care for them. Overall a miss.

    We discovered the Bazar in Amsterdam on our second visit to the city late in 2019. This old church…read morebuilding has been converted into a buzzing place for locals and tourists alike to enjoy a great meal. We got to the restaurant around 9pm just as the place was about to slow down. We got sat immediately and our server promptly asked for drinks while we decided what to order. We got the lentil soup and the Adana kebab platter. Both the soup and entree serving were a lot of food yet very delicious. The service at the bazar is excellent and they take Apple Pay which is now the common way to pay for pretty much everything in Europe. 5 star restaurant in central Amsterdam. Popular place for drinks and middle eastern food if you like it as much as we do.

    Food was great, however the atmosphere was not. I did not like the table set up or the way they had…read moreset up the restaurant. It was freezing inside. It didn't feel clean. Honestly the food saves this review. We had the rice which was good but their stew was amazing! Potatoes I would skip. Their chicken and lamb was also very very delicious and tasty. Nothing was spicey which was great, everything was just very flavorful. If you are in the area and looking for a change in cuisine after spending a few days eating Dutch food then I would check it out. Prices were reasonable as well.
