We came here after coming off our flight from the USA. We came here for lunch. The owner greeted us so warmly and we sat outside on a beautiful sunny day. We each ordered a sandwich and it was delicious! The food was fresh and the bread was amazing! This restaurant is not to be missed when traveling to Amsterdam.

We only had time for afternoon tea and cake at Gartine. I wish I could try more of the wonderful selections on the menu. We had the Sencha tea, lemon chiffon cake, and white chocolate cheesecake. All were perfect. This was the best cheesecake I have ever tasted.

An outstanding little place for a light lunch, but make sure you leave enough room for dessert (or just go there for tea and dessert). The lemon meringue pie was the best I have ever had.

We had a light lunch and high tea and very much enjoyed our time. I am not sure if it is the most spectacular place to enjoy tea in the city, but it is cozy and everything was tasty!

Ate here the day we arrived. Hubby a bit dubious when we looked through the window and at the menu, but he really enjoyed what he ate. We both had soda bread sandwiches, which were well presented and tasted fantastic! Would like to have gone back but we ran out of days!

First time brunch @ Gartine was simply very enjoyable. The service is really nice and friendly, not pretencious at all. While the food (and the drinks!) were absolutely delicious. Lovely variety of tea, perfect balance between different ingredients, cozy atmosphere (not posh at all) and it was all organic. Broad selection of tasty scones and (cheese and chocolate) cakes.

The other reviews were correct, Gartine was tough to find! On a narrow street with very little fanfare from the outside, you could walk right by it and miss it. And what a gem you would miss! The atmosphere was warm and spacious, the decor quirky but somewhat antique - it all just felt nice. We got there at 10:10... More

This teeny tiny place is perfect for breakfast, brunch, tea time! Found it randomly today: a pearl compared to the other numerous tourists addresses. Enjoy slow food dishes served in old china plates. Homemade desert was amazing (cheesecake espresso, cinnamon, speculoos) Highly recommended for a relaxing experience. Service very kind, and prices are - gosh - very reasonnable. Warning: get... More
