Susan ClaxtonApril 24, 2015What's good here? Everything. Love the vibe. Great Bloody Mary's. Chicken and waffles with house made hot sauce (which we brought back to the states) and the pork belly Benedict. Amazing brunch!
Angelique HoutveenFebruary 26, 2016Best chicken & waffles! Cozy spot, great for a weekend brunch (but really, everyday works for me here). Everything on the menu is tasty.
Erika LekatsaDecember 11, 2017Delicious and tasty brunch in Amsterdam... it is worth trying.. good portions and good prices in a very nice area for a walk as well
Malene AndersenSeptember 9, 2018This place was such an amazing place - we had to go back to have brunch here several times. It's placed right next to the canal, has delicious food and drinks + the staff is really friendly. 😋👌
Nadya SastrohardjoAugust 24, 2014Loved the brunch. So much too choose from. Take the Chicken & waffles with super good hot sauce. And don't forget to order a bloody marry, best everrr. Get there early cause it's always full!
Jeffrey KNovember 25, 2018having brunch here is a party! the staff is super welcoming and energetic. The food is great, try the Monkey Business! Unfortunately they don’t have the okonomiyaki anymore. But overall: amazing
- Alvaro P.January 20, 2018All around and Rasco are my top picks for brunch here (boozy or not, your choice!) who doesn’t love chicken and waffles with homemade banana ketchup?!? Staff was just as nice as the food
Lulu DaviesMay 25, 2016I've been going back and tried different tgings on the menu. So far I haven't got disappointed for anything yet. They also have good coffee and decent brunch cocktail selections!- Charlotte ENovember 5, 2014Brunch café with a relaxed, cozy vibe. Good service and very tasty food. They also collaborate with food popup groups that provide missed food items in Amsterdam.
Oscar TjinJanuary 12, 2020Great Breakfast and brunch! Had the “All about veggie” and the veggie bowl. Missed the avocado in the bowl though. The hash brownies are delicious, but can’t compare ‘cause I had it for the first time
Monique NilsenNovember 28, 2018The Rasco chicken and waffle was delicious, a perfect brunch meal. The staff was incredible and not only allowed us to bring our dog but pampered him. We all had such a great time, we’ll be back ASAP.
Ronald DLSeptember 24Tucked away on a quiet corner, enjoy fried chicken with waffles or poached eggs with avocado. It’s popular so book ahead.
Nikola RApril 21, 2015Cute place with an interesting twist to an anglo-american brunch/lunch menu - guess you can't go wrong with whatever you order.Great chai latte and machiatto, Friendly staff as well.
ArnoldJune 22, 2014Perfect brunch spot! Great coffee and food; try the 'wentelteefjes'! Even without the bacon (and with bananas) they are delicious!!
- Gregory BolkenstijnFebruary 12, 2016Really delicious food! Great for brunch or lunch. Nice place outside the center to have a good conversation.
This is *NOT* Starring at Jacob but KU Kitchen & Bar West. The Yakuza Chicken Karaage is excellent. And the Torikawa is amazing.
Katie WilsonOctober 24, 2016Fantastic coffee, and a nice variety of breakfasts including plenty of greens.
Anastasia SaragaFebruary 20, 2019Top brunch place! Had the sophisticado and a flat white, both worth paying for! A reservation is a must as the place is super popular and busy- Khanh LyJanuary 3, 2016Expect a queue around 1pm on Sunday, it's packed. Great food, good portions. But I was surprised to pay 7,50 for a tiny mimosa. Tip for the owners: do something about the ventilation in the kitchen!
Steven CreightonApril 20, 2019So much yaaaaaaasssss in one place. This brunch was exceptional, I’m pretty sure it’s the best I’ve ever had!
Navel fluffJanuary 24, 2015The wild mushroom salad is incredibly delicious! But the place is crowded, the staff stressed me out and it's been chilly bc they insisted to keep the window open. Better reserve a table in the corner
Jim A.April 7, 2016There's a really good vibe hanging around here. And original food combinations which is becoming quite rare in hipster amsterdam. Have fun!
Vedrana PlesticApril 20, 2019The brunch here is absolutely delicious and such a lovely atmosphere. One of the best brunches ever!
Robin BertelsJuly 18, 2018So many breakfast options to choose from! Pancakes, granola, toasts, eggs, bacon, ... Yummy.
Martina BrusatoreSeptember 25, 2019Bestemmia breakfast ever. Many menu options,sweet or salty, healthy or veggie...the coffe is fine..and i am italian so i can be very poshlady
Lovely place for bruch, english atmosphere and good food. But: very crowded on sunday and some problem with the air system, you'll get out smelling like a tasty burger ;)
Leanne PickeringOctober 31, 2016Food here is fab - well worth a visit but recommend reserving a table due to it being so popular!
Ameen AqeelSeptember 18, 2016Most of the tips mentioned are spot on, Bloody Mary options, the Benedict was good, and the waffles had a great crisp to them.- ArnoldMarch 20, 2015You need to try the Rasco: fried chicken, homemade waffles, a poached egg and maple syrup!
Chris R (thechristophe)May 14, 2018Decent brunch spot. The salad bowl was excellent. Lots of vegetarian options.
Nelli PellinenDecember 5, 2016The kimchi shakshuka is to die for! Pair it with Smoke in the Grass and you have yourself a perfect morning!
Robert GaalApril 8, 2018If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to go because none of the servers will ever talk to you. Feel content as you sit around waiting to order for 30 minutes.
- L LJuly 22, 2018awesome brunch, super friendly staff, outside space next to the gracht. best thing on a chill sunday
Amalie HougaardJune 3, 2017Cute place, nice people, good menu but food was a bit too hyped. Dry waffles and fresh but tasteless ceasar salad. I do recommend the fried chicken. That was absolutely heaven✌🏼
Hi there! Hungover? Can't think? Order bloody mary and Roscoe chicken and waffles with killer hotsauce. You'll feel better! Promise -x- @ambarsurastri
Marko&Jelena !March 21, 2017Pulled pork brunch it's really good, on Sunday better make an reservation
Ada UbreziSeptember 10, 2017Monkey business!!!! Great French toast, as well as not so kosher Benny, loving it
Yazmin GutierrezNovember 1, 2019Excellent coffee, food and atmosphere. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was amazing.
Jon EshuijsMay 25, 2015Great place for lunch. Had the Jacob's omelette with extra bacon.. Delicious!
Awesome brunch menu! Choose the All Around, its very good!
AnneNovember 1, 2013I love the eggs, preferably with the pancakes and maple syrup. Amazing. Pity they put 100 ice cubes in your fresh O.J.- Rebecca SloanFebruary 7, 2016Fab brunch place with consistently tasty food. Get something savoury and try the awesome hot sauce!
Excellent brunch place with spot on bacon. Pumpkin eggs Benedict? Don't mind if I do.
- Tim BoelaarsFebruary 21, 2016Really nice laid back service and the food was great. I enjoyed the miso and f'ckn everything.
