This is full of flavour and one of the best local IPA's I've found so far. The barman came over with some olives and I spotted another beer I wanted to try so we moved inside and had a Tank 7 which is a hoppy American pale ale by Boulevard they had on tap. We were given even more olives! We love olives! :D This bar also has a lovely upstairs area with a sunroof and plants and its would be a nice place for a chilled couples brunch. They also serve a range of food including Greek salad and tart flambee which is an Alsace pizza with bacon, onion and cheese on a very thin base and a great choice.

Very strange experience with that host. But all the effort was worth it, since the food was very tasty. Steak Taatar: Always a treat. Finely cut pieces of raw beef with nice spices. You mix in the egg yourself. Served with fries though, instead of toasted bread. So you can't really spread it. Think bread would be a better pairing. Meatballs & Stamppot: Traditionally Dutch dish. Only one meatball, that was shaped more like an oval than a ball. Nice mashed potatoes with greens and gravy. The crispy lardons were especially tasty. Very comforting. Though the single meatball felt kinda skimpy compared to other places that serve large meatballs or more multiple meatballs. Huisgemaakte Advocaat: Not quite the eggnog I know from the USA. Was more like a pudding consistency, though tasted very much like eggnog. I especially liked the flavorful jenever giving it a nice alcoholic kick. Citroen-meringuetaart: Love meringue pies. The tart and sweet fruit layer. The fluffy meringue layer. A perfectly creamy and refreshing way to end a meal.

It's not your typical "dinner out" spot--it's a humble counter inside a subway station--but the food is arguably some of the best Surinese soul food in Amsterdam. Why it's worth the stop: * The Sandwiches: The Broodje Pom is the star here. It's flavorful, authentic, and served on a fresh roll. * Efficiency: They move through the line fast. It's the ultimate grab-and-go meal that actually feels homemade. * Authenticity: It's local, unpretentious, and consistently high quality. Things to know: It is located inside the station, so there's no "ambience" to speak of and seating is very limited. It's definitely more of a "stand and eat" or "take it to the park" kind of place. Overall: It might not be a fancy sit-down experience, but for the price and the flavor, it's easily one of the best quick bites in the city.

This place looks out on the water and the Amsterdam train station, such a pretty view when the sun began to set. The atmosphere of this restaurant was great, super cozy and plenty of room to sit with a large bar near the middle of the space. We stopped in for happy hour and ordered 2 Bloody Mary's & chips and guac to share. The Bloody Mary's were perfect and the chips that came with the guac were the best tortilla chip I have ever had! Were they home made? Where did they come from? I need to know!

We arrived around 5:15 PM and dinner didn't technically start until 5:30. Didn't mind waiting, but extremely slow service. We hadn't decided on drinks when the waitress first came up to us, but it was a mission to wave someone down when we were ready a few mins later. There were also a bunch of workers who walked past and didn't check in even though we were just sitting there. They do offer a menu in English. After we were finally able to order, we ordered the Dutch bread, Caesar salad, and pastrami dish. They serve small dishes here and it's meant to be shared. Prices were decent and food was above average. I got the Dutch mule and it was pretty good and not watered down. The space is open, like a large cafeteria. It did fill up after dinner started so feels like it's the place where locals go for authentic food.

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.

I was recommended by my Dutch friend to try the steak at Loetje, and I wasn't disappointed!…read more My friend and I came by Loetje Oost around 6:30 on Sunday evening and there was plenty of seating available. I had made a reservation right beforehand on their website, but I definitely didn't need it. There's a nice patio outside, but because it was starting to get a bit chilly in the evening, we opted to sit inside. My friend got the Thai chicken soup ($8) to start and had the chicken satay skewers ($18.50) for his entree. Interestingly enough, the restaurant was out of chicken (is that really a thing?) so the Thai chicken soup because a Thai veggie soup instead. He didn't mind though, and really liked it as it had a nice coconut flavor. The chicken skewers were good as well. I went straight for the steak and ordered a medium sized beef tenderloin with their garlic gravy ($27.50). The server asked if I wanted fries with that, but I went with a healthier apple compote side for $3.50 instead. I absolutely LOVED my steak, and that's quite rare for me as I'm generally not a steak person. I was a bit worried because she didn't ask how I wanted the steak cooked, but I guess here the default is to cook it on the rarer side and I certainly didn't mind! The steak is served swimming in a pool of gravy, which I've never seen before. Each bite was super tender, and the garlic gravy it came with was super salty so by dipping the meat into the sauce, that guaranteed the meat was flavorful enough. The apple compote was delicious as well, but I wish it was served warm instead of cold. I was very happy with my decision to come here for my first meal in Amsterdam!
