We stopped here originally to wait for friends who were in the nearby Anne Frank House Museum but ended up staying for a few hours. To sit outside on a nice dry day is ideal. The food is very good and good value. More

This is a great spot to people-watch. Try the croquettes, they are simple but delicious. More

Stopped by for a drink and a bite and glad we did. Super place - warm and inviting, friendly service. We had the cheese fondue, which is one of their specialties and glad we did. It was excellent and reasonable. Worth a visit when you are in Amsterdam More

This was down the street from Bee's B&B and it was a great spot to land as we nursed our jet lag. We had a tasty bowl of soup, a beer, and one or two grilled sandwiches for about 18 euros. They offered a nice introduction to Dutch food. More

We were so well treated here we went back a second time and had a wonderful meal again. The first night we had a cheese fondue which was certainly shareable and, accompanied by some great draft beer, was a complete meal. The small venue was almost full with our arrival and there was a steady stream of folk in an... More

I used to come here as a High School student. It did not change much. Typical Dutch Cafe. Not fancy but atmosphere and close to the Anne Frank House. So you will get a more positive outlook on life after absorbing and letting sink in the real horrors of Anne's life.... More

I happened upon the Cafe de Prins on a trip to Holland in 2005 and it my meal and the laid back atmosphere quickly made it atop my list of favorite cafes around the world. Whenever I've been in Amsterdam since then, I've headed there (about four times). I love the goat cheese salads and my husband enjoys the Prins... More

We had a lovely light lunch, and - although we wouldn't say the food was astounding, it was very good, hearty Dutch fare. The real reason you would come to De Prins, though, is the atmosphere. It's a lovely restaurant, the staff are friendly and efficient, and we loved it. More

I am sure you could find food of better quality and tastiness elsewhere in Amsterdam, but you will not find one that adds up so well in all areas - portion size, taste, variety of options, price, changing daily specials, etc. served by a friendly wait staff in a cozy brown bar environment. I go here once in a couple... More
