Brasserie De Roode Leeuw in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

We stopped in for lunch after taking a canal boat tour through Amsterdam. 7 of us all found something appealing on the menu of this long-established restaurant. We had kibbeling (fried fish), personal quiche, veggie burger, Caesar salad with chicken. Nice choice of beers.

Great fun to do for a change! The entertainment, the immediate serving. I will definitely come back with my children! The food was also very tasty.

Had a great dinner while watching the crowds pass by. All the seats appear inside and there is some AC (not cold). I had the Dutch Steak. Seasoned and thought out. Have not had a proper steak yet in Europe. Issue is mostly the cuts are not trimmed by the butchers very well. Leaves the juices missing for searing. Not to miss the review, staff was excellent. Food and drinks also appear quickly. Desserts were all very good. Thank you for a great dinner in Amsterdam.

Nice brasserie-style restaurant. We go there often whenever we're in Amsterdam. Very reasonable prices despite its location near Dam Square.

We stopped here for lunch as soon as we arrived in Amsterdam. We ate the typical Dutch bitterballen and a toasted sandwich, both very good!

Enjoying a pleasant atmosphere on the terrace. Sunshine 🌞 and a smiling waiter.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a pleasant atmosphere. We sat outside right on the main street, which was quite busy, creating a nice overall feeling. However, we unfortunately had to wait quite a long time for service. Even though it was a Wednesday morning and the restaurant was fairly busy, it took about 10 to 15 minutes before anyone even came to us. That was far too long. A couple next to us were also unsure whether they had to go inside themselves or if the staff would come, because they had waited just as long. In the end, they even left, which is obviously not a good sign and a definite drawback. The prices were generally reasonable, and the food was rather average—neither particularly good nor bad. On the positive side, the drinks were well-made and tasted great.

Your have a Mega Mega good🚽 toilet and yours restaurant have good eat.🥗🌯🌮🍕

We had an amazing breakfast at Brasserie De Roode Leeuw. For just €20, the buffet is incredible with high-quality options—it’s worth every single cent! But what truly made our visit special was George. He was fantastic, explained everything to us, and was extremely attentive. To top it off, he gave us some brilliant sightseeing recommendations for our trip. This has been the best restaurant experience I’ve had during my entire European travels. Highly recommended!

No structure, got half of my meal and the rest after eated all the other.

We stopped by only for having tea and snacks. We had tea and garnalen kroketten with 2 slices bread. The tea pot came with hot water without tea, so we need to asked the waitress which i assume can't speak English (or Dutch) because she just walked away until our waiter came back this time with the tea bags. But the place actually cozy and clean bathroom.

Like many things in Amsterdam, the food is expensive. You'd expect a bit more quality. €22 for industrially produced breaded fish and cardboard-like salad...

The service was incredibly slow; a couple of waiters were standing around chatting while our plates sat empty for quite some time. Some dishes were fine, but in others the chicken was pink and the crème brûlée was lumpy and tasted strongly of liquor when flambéed.

Close to Dam Square, a quiet place to have a nice lunch.

Nice place in the heart of Amsterdam. The food is excellent. The option for a small or large portion is a welcome change. The service is either friendly or a bit strange. The main language is English. All in all, highly recommended, perhaps even for lack of anything better.

A café, a quiet, cozy place for a break and a snack. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available.

Absolutely fantastic! The best place in Amsterdam. Thank you for your service. And the hotel was super clean. I'd love to come back.

I loved the mushroom soup! And the Cesar salad size small was pretty big even for my husband! And very delicious!

Their meat was very bad, we didn't finish the dish.

A lovely restaurant, delicious food, and excellent service. It was an excellent dinner.

Very friendly waiters, amazing food.

Very nice and cool restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam. Near by dam square. The food are tasty and delicious. The staff are very friendly and polite.

I tried the Dutch bitterballen with apple juice. They gave quite some mustard to eat with six bitterballen. I wonder if that is too much and wasted. Overall, it is a good place with joyful atmosphere to stop when you need a some rest visiting the city center.

We went to late breakfast and it was perfect!

Fantastic waitstaff! The way they treat their guests is absolutely fantastic! Waitstaff at other Amsterdam restaurants and bars could learn a thing or two from this.

Average service. The kitchen closes at 8:30 pm, so you're rushed to place your order as quickly as possible, and a smile is a bonus. I highly recommend Hulscher's where the service is impeccable!

Not bad, actually. I had the following food/drinks: - Caesar salad (with bread) - Fries (with mayo) - Iced Vanilla Latte (which wasn't on the menu) Let me start off with the unusally positive: The Vanilla Latte was VERY good. Super delicious. The fries were actually quite delicious (I ate them without mayo that's how nice they were)... Caesar Salad VERY unusual, definitely could call it something else but it was fine. Very strange sauce I forgot to ask what it was but I personally would not order it again. The chicken though was very good. The bread unfortunately was quite inedible. I'd be suprised if they bake it in-house and the bread I had on the plane ride there was miles better (and warm)... So a lot of positive but questionable mayo and terrible bread puts food at a 4/5. Service was fine definitely nothing out of the ordinary. Atmosphere gets 4/5 but was thinking 3/5 because there were a lot of old people drinking beer there. It's a restaurant not a sports bar... but it's fine for sure. Thanks for lunch.

We sat down for a cup of coffee, and there was no acknowledgement that anyone had seen us. People around us who came in later were being served, but we were completely ignored. We left after fifteen minutes. A complete mess.

We were eating when we saw a mouse 🐁 running around the room… The food and service were nice nonetheless.

Everything was good. Very good brasserie, just like in France. Perfect.

I ordered a burger, but the meat tasted clearly old and off — completely inedible. After just a couple of bites, I had to spit it out onto a napkin. When I politely asked the waiter if I could change my dish for something else, he responded in a cold and dismissive way, showing zero professionalism or concern. Instead of addressing the issue, he tried to upsell me some other Food. Considering the rather high prices (21euros for a small burger) you would at least expect a minimum level of service — but there was none. Absolutely unacceptable experience. Both the food and the service were terrible. I would never recommend this place.

For tourists, it is considered an ideal restaurant, it opens from 8 in the morning until 10 at night. They have breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, sweets, and snacks. Everything is delicious and the meals are enough for more than one person. They have good options for vegetarians, especially those of us who do not eat meat in Europe. They have good options with vegetables, dairy, and eggs. I recommend the restaurant to Muslims, but it is very crowded, meaning they take a long time to take the order, but it is worth the wait and the price is reasonable according to the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the place, and the treatment of the staff.

Nice atmospheric brasserie, good food, good service

Nice food, comfortable but the server who showed us to our table was extremely rude.

The welcome is okay, one of the waitresses doesn't smile at all. The rest of the atmosphere is nice, the veranda and the room are nice, the food is good.

Had a delicious lunch. The food looked fantastic and tasted wonderful. Great location.

I was truly shocked by the service. First, I had to wait forever for everything. Then the table was shaking like crazy and was dirty. No one ever asked if everything was tasty; instead, the waitress suddenly came and handed me the bill. I didn't ask about dessert, coffee, or anything else. And the fries were cold, so I wouldn't recommend them.

It was very, very tasty!!! A large and indulgent portion Not the cheapest in the world but worth every shekel I am celiac so they brought me a smaller loaf of bread for my sandwiches. I had to ask for more because the portion was too small but they happily brought it and it was really delicious

Enjoyed a delicious drink and soup. Friendly service.

Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff and a spacious environment

De Roode Leeuw Brasserie in Amsterdam Central is a good spot to stop by. I had a tasty burger and a delicious BLT sandwich – both fresh and flavorful. The service was acceptable, and the location is amazing right in the heart of the city.

Nos detuvimos aquí para tomar unas copas y algunos nachos en nuestro paseo por Amsterdam y fuimos recibidos por el personal amable y Recibimiento. Las bebidas se sirvieron rápidamente, los nachos tardaron un poco más, pero disfrutamos de nuestro tiempo aquí

We've been here three times this week and are absolutely thrilled! The ambiance is stunningly beautiful; you immediately feel at home. The service is incredibly good! Always friendly, very attentive, and absolutely competent! The cocktails were also incredibly delicious, and some even included a show with homemade cotton candy. The food was also incredibly delicious; every ingredient was perfect, and the entire plate was a dream! The creme brulee was also presented with a show...simply fantastic! We can only praise this restaurant highly, and many could take inspiration from its friendliness, attentiveness, and overall concept! This restaurant absolutely rounded off our stay here in Amsterdam!❤️

The food was very good: one of the best burgers and fries. Excellent fresh vegetables soup. Large portions. Very clean and ordered, a good plus in this location.

Lunch met kleine Caesarsalade. Goed te eten, lekker veel malse kip, maar veel te weinig sla eronder. Jammer. Drankjes prima en koel.

We recently dined at De Roode Leeuw in Amsterdam, and we really enjoyed it. The food was delicious – well-seasoned and beautifully presented. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and relaxed, just what you want for a pleasant evening. Another nice thing was that we didn't have to wait long at all to be helped. Everything went smoothly, and the service was friendly and attentive. One minor drawback, however, was that the service was in English. While understandable in such a touristy spot, it does detract somewhat from the Dutch character. All in all, a pleasant experience – good food, a pleasant atmosphere, and fast service.

De HighTea hier is geen aanrader, ik had aangegeven geen vlees te eten (wel vis en gevogelte) helaas hadden ze er maar helemaal vegetarisch van gemaakt waardoor alle sandwiches op elkaar leken, betwijfel ook of de zoetigheid echt van Holtkamp komt want was niet geweldig en had sowieso te lang buiten de koeling gestaan De scones waren droog en de clotted cream was crème fraiche(?) Bediening was wel erg vriendelijk en goed!

Prices are reasonable, service is fast, and the waiters are polite and respectful. When we finished our coffees, no one bothered us, as if to say, "You need to get something more." The portions are plentiful. It has a very nice, quiet atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're in the heart of the city.

Friendly staff, good service. Delicious food.

The location is great and the place itself is lovely. However, the service was very disappointing. The staff were rude, especially the short woman with long black hair — I found her to be the most unpleasant.

It's my first time in Amsterdam, I had lunch in this restaurant, very kind staff and excellent value for money

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Great experience overall!”

Unfortuately one of our party god food poisoning from undercooked burger wont be back

Unique experience. Very interesting for children

Nice place. Delicious Nachos😋😋😋

Excellent food Excellent staff great atmosphere nice place to relax with friends

Not the flavors I was expecting from the hamburger... I'm just not a big fan of strange cheese on a burger. It needs to be cheddar with bacon.

It's a completely classic brasserie, neither better nor worse than average..... A bit expensive for a brewery!

We had a wonderful meal of shared appetizers at Brasserie De Rose Leeuw. The food was fresh and the service was great. We really enjoyed the appelstroop with the charcuterie.

We had dinner at Brasserie De Roode Leeuw. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, with a classic setting that felt welcoming. The service was efficient and courteous throughout the evening. As for the food, it was solid overall. Some dishes stood out more than others, but everything was well-prepared and nicely presented. The menu offered a good variety, and the portions were reasonable. We didn’t experience any delays or issues during the meal. It was a straightforward dining experience with consistent quality across the board. We left satisfied, though not particularly surprised or impressed by any one element.

It was a good experience. I expected there to be more Dutch food on the menu.

Always nice! I like to sit here by myself by the window for a comfortable lunch and people watch. The eggs Benedict are great!

Excellent time spent in this restaurant where we shared several dishes. Very clean, quiet and comfortable Bonus: the server made an effort to speak our language which was even more pleasant

Quiet restaurant with space in a pleasant setting and very good food!

A cool place in a great location, we only had coffees (cappuccino & late) but the quality was really good. The atmosphere of the place is cozy and friendly staff, would definitely go back.

Good value. Friendly staff. Wide range of dishes.

Many cocktails at affordable prices, Consistent plate food with beautiful products and above all a very very calm atmosphere that feels good!

Attention surveiller votre addition : 3 cafés macchiatto 1 café americano et 2 cheesecake 134€ ??? Après recalcul 27€ ouf Attention ⚠️ à l’arnaque

The pea soup is excellent. The typical Dutch dishes are very good and it is a good, comfortable place. The staff is friendly.

It's really not delicious. A typical tasteless and expensive restaurant that ignores tourists... The steak that costs 26 euros isn't even chewy.

Pretty sure they forgot about our order. Waited 53 minutes for food to arrive. The steak was supposed to be medium well, ended up rare. Water costs 7 euros?

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was good but was nothing spectacular considering the price.

Wij waren een dagje Amsterdam en wilde lekker gaan lunchen. Het restaurant zag er aantrekkelijk uit. Mijn man en ik hadden allebei Egg Benedict besteld. Het kwam vrij snel en het viel ons erg tegen. 1 klein broodje voor 13,50 en het ei was koud. We hadden op zijn minst 2 broodjes verwacht voor die prijs. Het was voor ons niet genoeg.

I was contacted by telegram if I wanted to write a fake review for this restaurant. This takes away the whole point of reviews, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been contacted, so here's my review to balance it out a bit.

Leaving the station for a little hunger, why not? The welcome is very friendly, the food is plentiful and of high quality, the prices very affordable.

Very nice to spend nice evening

The best restaurant in the world very delicious food and good service

Not very great, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food, otherwise the man was nice

Good place to have something to eat in the afternoon, there are a lot of English employees here, just like in Amsterdam.

The worst steak we've ever had. The restaurant itself is nice and the service pretty good. Bitterballen and fries excellent too - but wow, the steak was genuinely the worst steak me or my partner have ever had. It was grey so obviously cooked in a cold pan but still somehow immensely overcooked. Ordered one medium rare and the other rare but both were like leather. AVOID THE STEAK AT ALL COSTS - PEOPLE MUST BE WARNED! The 4 star rating cannot be applied to the steak.

Just came for a drink. We were interested in food but were offered no menus. Staff felt a bit distant. Atmosphere is really lovely and prices are decent, given it being a busy area.

Nice and cozy atmosphere, and delicous food. The guy who served us (i think he was greek) was so professional and kind. Would defo go again

Ωραίο περιβάλλον στο κέντρο της πόλης. Καλή ποιότητα φαγητού αν και δεν είχε μεγάλη ποικιλία στο μενού. Οι τιμές μέτριες. Προσωπικό ευγενές και επαρκές

"On November 15, my parents and my husband visited Brasserie De Roode Leeuw in Amsterdam for a cappuccino. The brasserie was nicely decorated in a Christmas atmosphere and looked neat, the toilets were also spotless and smelled wonderfully fresh. The cappuccino was good and warm, but the apple pie we ordered was unfortunately a bit soggy. The service was okay, but the lady who served us did not seem to enjoy her work. The prices were okay for a cup coffee and a slice of cake, nothing to complain about. All in all an average experience.

Everything delicious and fine, nice ambience, good cuisine!

Tasty food but pricey. The service could also be in Dutch.

Amazing Breakfast buffet, very nice staff and a great price. Been here 4 times now and every time just nice to be here!

Dinner today. Meat croquettes and shrimp croquettes. Excellent ! With a view of passers-by 😉 very nice moment!

Verschrikkelijk! - American pancakes waren niet vers, gewoon uit pak terwijl je er wel 12,50 voor betaald. - Er stond dat we maple siroop zouden krijgen maar we kregen Agave siroop. - Kaas van de nacho's waren erg taai. - De granaatappelpitjes op de american pancakes smaakten heel erg naar alcohol.

The American pancakes were placed straight from the microwave on the board, with maple syrup, but this was agave syrup. The pomegranate seeds also tasted like pure alcohol and that for 12.50. The natchos were a bit tough and the spring onion that came with it also tasted strange. The cheese made the chips even chewier. Also the coffee milk that came with the coffee was a bit strange. Definitely not worth the money you pay for it. I also thought the woman who paid was very rude, but the man who took our order was very friendly.

Mijn vriendin ik wilde weer eens bij jullie zitten en wat eten we gingen aan tafeltje zitten maar werden wegestuurd maar op een hele arogante manier ook een ander tafel kon terwijl ze leeg waren het andere personeel zeiden nog ze kunnen toch daar zitten maar daar werd niet naar geluisterd hij bleek achteraf Jos of Jois te heten wat een arogante kwal was dit is hij soms medeeigenaar want zo kwam hij wel over zelfs het andre personeel wees op hun voorhoofd ik wou weg gaan maar vond dat zielig voor mijn vriendin die hoort niet in de horeca thuis wat een aanfluiting voor de goede naam die het vroegerhad

Nice location, pleasant service. Expensive for mediocre food.

Local en la zona super turística/comercial del centro de Ámsterdam pero donde pienso que se puede comer algo diferente y quizá más tranquilo, dada la amplitud del local. Hay opción desde platos algo elaborados hasta cosas más mundanas tipo "croquetas holandesas" o nachos. Mención especialísima para Yoel Alejandro, nuestro camarero cubano que nos amenizó la velada con sus consejos sobre P. Bajos. No sé si hay que dejarse huevo para el postre porque no pido por la noche

Naar Le Petit Chef geweest. Een mooi concept, maar het eten was slecht, we hadden echt het idee dat alles kant en klaar door de Hanos geleverd was. Ontzettend jammer, want als er met verse ingrediënten zou worden gewerkt en er meer aandacht aan het eten was besteed, zou dat het concept versterken. Nu vertrokken we met een kater. Airco was stuk, wat kan gebeuren, maar daardoor werd het ongelofelijk heet beneden. Kortom, verhouding prijs kwaliteit echt niet in orde.

There are much better places to eat in Amsterdam. It didn't taste good to me and there was an unpleasant surprise in the dish - thanks for removing it from the bill. They didn't bring us a menu, nor did they give us any cutlery. I don’t want to judge strictly - perhaps they have delicious dishes, and we were just unlucky this time.

Started the day with one of the finest corrected hot chocolate ever The chocolate was so thick and the grappa was perfect What a combo !!!

We've been there last Friday and had three drinks. When we paid with our bank card the waiter said the payment was not approved. Then they charged us twice. The waiter, Dimitris, said they would immediately send back the payment if it results in a double payment. Nothing happened! We even gave them tips! We kindly ask you to refund us! We left our numbers!

The food is very delicious I ordered red cream soup And grilled salmon The place is clean and tidy and the service is fast The price is 33 and a half euros

Lots of cheese! A surprising amount of honey in the salad This is difficult for Japanese people to accept. . sweet. .

Nice lunch. Nice place on the Damrak.
