Loved the Lavender Honey Sour & their signature drink especially but really enjoyed the adventure of trying different cocktails in comparison to the compass + walk/run/fly menu descriptions. Everyone working there took their time with us to chat professionally but casually and gave recommendations which made it an even better experience. Plus, it had a very cool ambiance and we were able to immediately be seated both times. When we travel, we like to try new places every time but this is the first time we decided we had to go back again before we left Amsterdam. Shoutout to Alina who was there both times! Not surprised to see she is an owner, she had that sh*t on lock!! Honestly an integral part of the enjoyment of our experience. Thanks for an unforgettable time!

They have a great TV setup, so practically every seat in the pub will have you within viewing distance of any TV screen.

Wasn't terribly hungry, but I had to grab some bitterballen and spicy potato wedges. Really tasty and quite affordable! Staff here is very friendly too.

This place is a little gem tucked away to the north east of Amsterdam station…read more Hop on one of the many free ferries from behind the station (literally just walk on, there's no need for a ticket), and in 5 minutes you're across the water. With suitcases it took us about 40 minutes to trundle up to the cafe, but luggage free or on the bike it's a much shorter journey. The cafe is tucked away on Nieuwerdammerdijk, just up from the church, in the midst of some lovely houses which, unlike the central part of the city, are all quite low in height (single or two floors max) It's been there over 100 years, and you certainly tell why. The service and the food were lovely (that apple cake!) and on a nice day you can sit outside in the sunshine down by the waterside. I'd imagine it's a good place to hunker down in less clement weather too, although it doesn't take too many to fill it. One of the highlights of my last trip to Amsterdam.

Amazing service. Seriously, the best. No one treated us better during our visit to the Netherlands…read more We came fairly early (late afternoon, early evening) and sat at the bar. The place was pretty empty so the bartender told us to make a playlist and played our song choices for us. He was so awesome and nice to us (Thanks Jarne!) Then the owner arrived and brought out snacks (cheese even) for us. At this point, we decided to stay longer because the service was so great. Then they gave us souvenirs (infusion water bottles and a mug with the name of the bar). Imagine being drunk and getting unexpected gifts? It's awesome! The place eventually filled up and live music began. Either way, it was time for us to move on. However, as I sip from my Café Pollux water bottle, I will always fondly remember my evening here! Thank you for a great visit!

This place is a lot bigger than the prior two cafes we went to before this, though still felt cozy and intimate. The decor was great, and I loved the carpet (tiny rugs) on the tables. To drink, I ordered a Hazy Jane IPA, which was both tasty and refreshing. We ordered at the bar and grabbed a table at the back of the cafe, which was spacious and relaxing. Service was great during our time here, and prices were in line with everywhere else we had been to. If looking for a cool brown cafe to grab a drink at, Het Elfde Gebod is a great option. I would definitely recommend it, especially for beer drinkers.

Ranked 19 of 3418 restaurants in Amsterdam on Tripadvisor. Good ambiance with a front row seat of a view of the river, and lighted buildings on the other side.

Among their breakfast offerings are fried fish, fried chicken, and beef meatballs. They also offer a late afternoon happy hour with drinks and appetizers in the executive lounge for Hilton Diamond members. We ate here our first night in Amsterdam for dinner, as we were tired and unfamiliar with our surroundings. The 6 euro mixed salad came with cucumbers, raw onion rings, croutons and mixed greens in a vinaigrette sauce. Loved the raw onion rings, which went well with the mixed greens in a large bowl. The 26 euro sea bass came in a tomato risotto with lentils. Portion size on the small side, but wife ate the entire fillet without any problems. Pricey for what you get. The 21 euro hamburger came with the usual lettuce, tomato, but no pickle. Thick rings of raw onions over a half pound medium cooked by default beef patty, along with bacon and cheddar. This burger was so large it was definitely a knife and fork job, as too big for any mouth. I declined the fries, which cost 6 euros, and enjoyed the burger, covered with a zesty bbq sauce. No cheddar cheese for me, as not a cheese fan. Steaks run from the 25-euro 160 gram Lady steak to the 105-euro 1000 gram Bife de Tira sirlon steak. 1 euro is about $1.05. Prices seem expensive but include 9% tax and tip. Also enclosed a picture of the fruit sampling at breakfast, along with a razor thin Dutch pancake. I'll stick to the pancakes back in the USA. BTW no pictures of Clint Eastwood anywhere to be seen.
