Having previously lived in the Netherlands for two years, I had always understood that Dutch cuisine did not extend beyond stamppot and rijsttafel. Greetje completely changed my opinion and introduced me to a wide variety of rustic flavours. I would particularly recommend the mixed starter and dessert dishes, each of which provide a mix of well portioned dishes. All were... More

I went with a group of work colleagues, we were mostly visitors to Amsterdam and our locally based colleague picked this place as a friendly Dutch restaurant with good food. It was a good choice. Confronted with a long list of things I'd like to try, I suggested the 'Big Beginning' (€29.50 for two): a selection for sharing. We all... More

The restaurant is serving traditional dutch treats, I'm from the Netherlands and let's say we are not famous for our own cuisine (we addopted cuisines from many other countries), but next to cabbage, vegetables and potatoe mash, I would not know what traditional dutch food was. Well, I have to say Greetje really scholared me on that. What delicious dishes... More

My husband and I had dinner on May 3 here, anticipating a wonderful meal, based on a person's recommendation. The ambiance was quite lovely,somewhat rustic Dutch flavor. Service was mediocre. The food was okay, but not as good as we expected, especially for the money. Would not go back, as there is so much more to choose from in Amsterdam.

It's hard to find fault with this down to earth neighbourhood restaurant tucked away a few hundred metres from central station, and I am not going to soil the memory of a lovely evening by trying. I don't need to know the name of the sheep I am eating, but here the staff's enthusiasm for the Greetje project mean the... More

When we arrived, so did a group of 37. We expected slow service and received anything but. The servers were very attentive, food was delicious and the restaurant lived up to it's reputation.

Well worth seeking this great restaurant out - just walking there takes you through parts you might not have visited in your Amsterdam tour. Very impressed with the choices - fusion of Dutch with a French twist - I had the Black pudding starter (which I would have normally steered well clear of!) as they made it sound so delicious!...

As I write this I see some negative comments...but I have nothing but good words for our particular experience. Yes, a tad pricey, but we thought it was worth it. The staff made it enjoyable. The room was cozy. We were placed near a window with a fan (I suspect the comment on airless heat had something to do with... More

We went to this restaurant just after Queensday. Before I begin, I want to say that we had a pleasant evening and the food is generally good but all in all, we wouldn’t go back…… First impressions are always important. On entering the restaurant (half empty) the first thing you notice is the airless heat! The day was a nice... More
