Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Gartine is a hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or brunch.
Our Saturday lunch, with a reservation, was nothing short of fantastic! The attentive service added a personal touch, and each dish reflected the care and love put into its preparation.
The freshness and tastiness of the food were undeniable. The intimate size of the place makes reservations advisable, but discovering this charming spot was pure luck. I'll definitely be returning for more delightful experiences. And, a pro tip – save room for dessert; their cakes are a must-try

Had an amazing experience in this cute cafe run by the most friendly people with an obvious love and knowledge for food. We had a breakfast of 3 dishes, each better than the last, provided with local products of the owners’ own home. Each dish is automatically vegetarian, but meat and fish options are possible, and they also have vegan options. The portions are sufficient by themselves, but they are so good that I must recommend to try more than one. Their wide selection of tea was also a big plus! I would recommend this to everyone visiting Amsterdam looking for a nice, cosy, local place with amazing food and great staff.

We came here for high tea and it did not disappoint. You definitely need reservations! The restaurant is very small and cozy, but so welcoming. We chose the Eden Rose tea from an extensive list, and then had the classic high tea. Everything was so good! We appreciated that the serving sizes were small, and even at that we could not finish all the desserts. The service was excellent as well. Overall it was a very enjoyable lunch for us and I would love to return!

I was so looking forward to eating here but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations.
It is dark and cramped but I quite liked the place. The staff were cheerful and friendly. Because we hadn’t booked we had to sit upstairs. The steps are steep and you are next to the toilets. To avoid this I would recommend you book.
Positives: coffee was great and my partner had the scrambled eggs with extra bacon which he enjoyed
Negatives: I ordered eggs Benedict with extra bacon. When it first came I took a photo as it looked fab. Unfortunately the eggs were cold. The waitress asked if everything was ok and I informed her about the eggs. She was very apologetic and took the plate away immediately. So far so impressed. That is until the replacement was given. Bear in mind I had literally had two mouthfuls from my breakfast. What came back from the kitchen was a tiny portion with two thirds of a slice of bacon and instead of a bed of spinach with a few iceberg leaves mixed in (no I don’t know why but ok) if was just iceberg. I called the waitress back and asked for a complete replacement as per the original dish just with hot eggs. What came back wasn’t but by this time I was fed up….not literally obviously!
Both the Chef and the server need to ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Full disclosure I am a Chef and if I tried that on with any of my customers my Front of House staff would not let it go out to the customer. And rightly so.
They didn’t charge for the coffee as compensation. We obviously won’t be returning. The photos show the 1st and 3rd plate. I was so shocked by the 2nd I didn’t take a photo!

A hidden gem in one of the more quiet side streets of the buzzling Kalverstraat. The location was beautiful, intimate and cozy. We decided to go for savory high tea version. You could choose a pot of tea for two (really enjoyed Les Invités). We had a soup and a variation of different sandwiches and a quiche (which was eggy, somewhat fluffy - just divine). It was a rollercoaster ride of different flavors. The staff was warm and welcoming. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing hidden gem located down an alley. Don’t look up for a sign…it’s on the window. Cozy little place that has about 8 tables. We we’re lucky to walk in at 10:30am without a reservation for the two of us. They are so kind and welcoming…you feel like you’re in someone’s home. We had the eggs benedict with smoked salmon and the sourdough toast with beefeater cheese and homemade chutney. So amazing! The food was delicious and fresh. I love that their ingredients come from their garden and are locally sourced. Also had a jasmine tea and macchiato. Everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend and suggest reservations.

We saw the reviews and figured we would give it a try. It took a while to locate the restaurant, but showed up right when it was opening. By 9:45, the entire restaurant was full. The orange juice was fresh squeezed and the eggs Benedict was nice a fresh and a fantastic way to start the day. Definitely worth a visit but be prepared to use euro as only limited payment options exist.

Lovely quiet place in the bustle of the city. It's a small place with only 8 tables. The lunch menu consists of dishes with super fresh ingredients and are all extremely tasty.
The owners are a couple and have a passion for their profession, you can taste that in the dishes.

This quaint restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam offers a great breakfast. It's a bit more expensive, but the fresh and very good ingredients justify it. The service is also very attentive. In short, a place to relax and enjoy.

The food was amazing. We found this restaurant on the first day of our short stay in Amsterdam and enjoyed the food so much we went back a second time. The French toast and scrambled eggs were delicious. The food was so fresh and the coffee was really tasty. It’s also great value for money and the service was excellent.

There are not so many tables and it is better to reserve, if you are lucky and could enjoy their breakfast, you can only applause the choice of fresh jam, tasty toast, choice of tea. French Breakfast, eggs Bénédictin , you name it they have it. Super friendly personnel, fast service.
Will come back !

Had a chance to get a late brunch here after arriving on an early flight into Amsterdam. The restaurant is very busy, but they squeezed me into an upstairs table just before switching to the brunch menu. The service is great, great people watching and very good food. Excellent!

Excellent and very charming service. Dishes are not only a delight for the mouth, with fresh homegrown ingredients, but also lovely presented . We definitely recommend the scrambled eggs on sourdough bread and the homemade cakes. Both have been a blast and an excellent way to start the day. We also appreciated the location, not too far from the center but also in a quiet street where you can enjoy eating outside. Reservation is recommended due to the size of the place. One of the best and freshest brunches you can get in Amsterdam.

Eventho the menu writes clearly what every dish is, it was hard to imagine what to eat or how the flavors would be combined. The dishes are delicate dishes, unique and the one with PEAS AND PARMSANE cheese was delicious, super tasty and HEALTHY. The lettuce even was nicely seasoned and crunchy. Would come here again!

Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.
