One of my favorites😍 so calm and beautiful.. Don't miss their chicken wings 👌

Jonathan Clark

Wonderful Art Deco interior with original wall pairings & light fittings. One of my all-time favourite spots in Amsterdam. Sadly it's expensive & service is terribly slow otherwise it would be perfect

Jim A.

Really nice art-nouveau decorated restaurant in the mid center of Amsterdam! Drinks a bit over-priced. But hey, that's what you get on Leidseplein. Have fun!

Gonny Zwaag, van der

Good for meetings with business contacts, or read newspapers (provided). Bar closes around 22:30h. Not the best coffee - a Starbucks is nearby.

Fabiano Waewell

We had the Steak and the Breakfast set . Very nice and fresh! The decor is a plus, beautiful place!

Marc Mutsaers

Carpaccio , risotto and creme brûlée as part of theater menu is an excellent choice at very competitive price.

Josef Chrpa

Suprisingly good burger and fries ! Defenetely recommended. And of course unique atmosphere!

Renate Mengelers

Great service and friendly staff . It was pouring when I arrived,got a little Something to Dry my glasses 🤩

Bernard Otesanya

Great atmosphere , an excellent buffet breakfast is served in n art decor setting

Peter Robinett

The breakfast brunch is very expensive but decent. What you're really paying for is the fantastic ambiance. Kick it up a notch by going on Sunday for the jazz brunch .

Marcel Hompe

Nice cafe ! With art deco style! And the sunday brunch is famous! I can't wait for the beautiful terrace to open!

Renate Mengelers

They have a Large variety of Gin

Simon Spanswick

Fabulous decoration harking back to the 20s. A place to see and be seen.

Brett Elliott

A beautiful place but the Amsterdam burger was not that good though it does look good in the picture.

Brooke Louise

It's been said before but the struggle with any kind of service is real. Decor gorgeous.

Daniel Basteiro

Perfect for a glass of red wine or a coffee . Select atmosphere and a nice place to stop for a chat or romantic moment!

Håkan F

Classic place in Amsterdam.... need an upgrade on interior and staff ...

Mohammed Bin Mansour

Excellent food...service not always the best but a great location.

Be specific about how you want your "uitsmijter"!

Billy McCall

Beautiful setting! French Onion Soup was good.

awesome salmon baguette & latte machiato with honey !

Andrew Zaenglein

Great breakfast . I love the comfy chairs .

Andrius Baranauskas

Terrible service. Although the place was more or less empty, we were refused the window table as it had space for 4 people. After I explicitly asked for over hard eggs , got them runny. Nice interior!

The sparkling water is very good. So is the lunch ; a bit overpriced, but the terrace and the wait staff is lovely.

Tanja Holzhaus

Everything ..

Dror

The inside decor is absolutely fantastic.

Simon Crossley

Shirley Onsod

Art Deco atmosphere

Hot chocolate milk with cream... Love it

ΛΥL´Π

Cake is delicious

Joseh Amaral

Beautiful cafe ....food is ok , waiters are nice but the service is below average. A very negative point is that the place is full of mice. You clearly see them playing around the tables.

Mimi van Waetermeulen

Jummie good

Alexander Lobov

Poor service, inappropriate music , dirty and the mice have the run of the place. Sad - such a beautiful space gone to waste.

Marc Mutsaers

Food and atmosphere

Ioannis-Ermis Kalantonis

Where is the famous Burger Americain???? Bring it back ASAP!!!!

Marc van der Veen

Beautiful place

Mitch Mitchell

Expensive breakfast , but worth visiting at least once while you're in town to enjoy the space.

Mark McArthur-Christie

Stephen's vodka martini . An absolute (or even Absolut if you don't like Grey Goose) must.

Mario de Lima

Location, restaurant , service and food presentation were good. The food just tasted bland.

Niels de J. (SU 3)

We waited 15 minutes for our drinks and when they came the waitress forgot one coffee and my beer wasn’t cold!

Dennis

Classic grand cafe , nice place to read the papers, don't expect anything special here.

Raphael Carrondo

Wyagu burger is very good!

Chris Hammond

Such a bad place on every level. Nothing changes, it's been like this for years. Leave it for the weekend visitors who accidentally stayed here.

Kornely

Famous by celebration of Mata Hari's wedding.

Nina Kornaat

Try the Salade Nicoise
