We found Gartine on Stay.com, and had late breakfast there one Saturday. We were lucky, there was one table available when we arrived, and many other guests were politely refused in the door. The owners were nice, polite and always smiling. The food was amazingly good, my favorite was pineapple and basil marmalade, perfect with Brie on dark bread! A... More

We went here for brunch early in our trip, being so highly recommended on tripadvisor we couldn't resist, the service was fantastic, the venue is very small (and 3/4 of the tables were full/reserved even at 11am midweek) but absolutely gorgeous. We had traditional Dutch continental style sandwiches, with home made vanilla iced tea and good coffee. Well worth a... More

Our hotel misadvised us, so we were not able to eat here during our stay in Amsterdam. They do take reservations and they do usually book up! I'm sorry I missed out.

The service was outstanding and our open-faced sandwiches were delicious. The cafe was small and quaint ... just lovely!

Decor- amazing. It has the most unique decor with tree branches handing from the wall. Service - second to none service, the owners are really nice and made us feel very welcome. Food - amazing Dutch pancakes, not oily and not too filling - close to perfection! Fresh mint tea was yum! They grow their own mint!! Tips - must... More

This small and charming café is superb for a full-fledged teatime. The service is great and personal and the staff is both attentive and caring. They produce their own veggies for their savory treats. The soup (rosemary and something) was awesome. As was all the other small savoury thingies. The pastires were OK, cannot complain on the selection of teas.... More
