Brasserie Lolita in Oude Pijp

What a nice place to eat! Good food and drinks, and the four of us had a fantastic evening. The atmosphere was cozy, a bit bistro, French, nice vibe. Do bring a well-stocked wallet though.

I loved everything! Impeccable service, cozy atmosphere, indescribable food ❤️

Luke is an incredibly nice host! Knows his wine and food pairing. Mega experience. I will definitely be coming back here!

Very sweet lady and good advice.

We had a delicious meal, we were served by Yfke, she was super friendly and helpful!

Had a lovely time and great service

Just go! Amazing diner , amazing service and atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back

Beautiful, lovely place and friendly staff. Enjoyed it very much!

Very cozy atmosphere and excellent service. The dishes were all delicious as well.

Atmospheric setting, good service, and delicious food! At Brasserie Lolita, you feel like you've been transported to Paris for a moment. Highly recommended!

Nothing beats the ‘steak frites’ and a good Pomerol. Always happily coming back.

The food was delicious and the service friendly. The wines by the glass off the menu were good!

Had an amazing experience last week when I came to Lolita. From the service to the food everything was spot on :) my partner and I were interested in the wine list and got great recommendations from the sommelier. The highlight of the night was definitely the warm and friendly staff as well as the dimly lit atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing experience! The oysters were incredibly fresh, and the gratinated oysters were simply sensational. The meats were cooked perfectly to the right point, the wine selection was excellent, and the service was outstanding — fast, attentive, kind, and very welcoming. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with very comfortable seating. Highly recommended!

We were with a group of four. Fantastic food - we had steak, steak tartare etc. Desserts were delicious. Our waiter Jesse and other staff were super friendly and professional. Definitely recommend it and coming back

Fantastic atmosphere, service and food! We will be back

The food and the staff were excellent. Definitely recommended, 5 stars

Brasserie Lolita feels like a little piece of Paris in the heart of De Pijp! The fresh oysters and escargot are a must-try! Escargot perfectly prepared, delicious, and buttery. The service was surprisingly fast, and the whole team of guys was brilliant and very attentive. If you're looking for a French bistro vibe and a lively atmosphere, this is the spot!

More yuppie than quality: ordered 4 cocktails (16 euros each!) as an aperitif. Two were non-alcoholic(!) and the other two were excessively alcoholic. Reported it to the wait staff but they just laughed and looked away. The starter and main course were good but very minimal for the price. Steaks are served without any preference for doneness. The music is a welcome addition but in some corners of the restaurant it is way, way too loud.

Really great service and we were well assisted with my girlfriend's allergies. We were able to choose 2 dishes after consulting, and they were delicious! Definitely recommended.

Good atmosphere, tasty food and attentive service

Great food (the pepper sauce of the 'steak frites' is remarkable!) Friendly, attentive service (particularly the barman who was extremely kind and helpful) all in a fun and lively atmosphere! An overall excellent experience!

Really a top-notch place! We will definitely be back. The staff was also very friendly!

Amazing service and outstanding food!

Very good service personel, everyone was super welcoming and kind. The food was delicious too, especially the salads were unexpectedly good.

Great restaurant. Quality food. Friendly service and good atmosphere.

Awful experience. Amateur personnel. And arrogant bartender. 100% avoid this place

Yesterday my cousin and I walked into Lolita Brasserie with big plans: drinks, bites, and a long-overdue catch-up. But they had a private party and the place was closed to outsiders like myself and my cousin. Normally, that’s the moment you get the classic hospitality goodbye: “Sorry, we’re closed.” But not at Lolita. Instead, I met a waiter (cute, dark hair, deep eyes, glasses, unfortunately name unknown) who handled it like an absolute pro — warm, calm, and genuinely helpful. No shooing, no attitude. He recommended another Lolita-owned spot, called ahead to let them know we were coming, and basically redirected our evening like a suave air-traffic controller for hungry people. We went, got a cozy table, and finally had the time and space to catch up properly — and the experience was excellent. What really stood out to me was: the same waiter later came by to check that we were comfortable and happy with the new location. That level of care is rare in horeca, and it deserves real recognition. Big kudos to the lovely waiter — he turned a “no” into a perfect night. I hope Lolita rewards that kind of service, because it’s the kind that makes guests fall in love with the place ❤️

Friendly staff and delicious dishes, such as eel on toast and côte de boeuf. Highly recommended!

Romantic French atmosphere, elegantly set tables. Many gluten-free options and also gluten-free bread!

The food was delicious, the service attentive, and the ambience just right. A well-deserved 5/5

Food-wise, it's a fantastic place, but otherwise, you're a key player in a capitalist food factory. The first sentence we heard when we walked in was: "You have this table until 8:30 PM, so you really have to leave after that." You can imagine that we didn't start our dinner out very relaxed after that. We felt rushed by the staff the entire evening, and it was repeatedly made clear that we absolutely had to leave by 8:30 PM. We were just allowed to hesitate about which dessert we wanted. A shame, because otherwise, it's a lovely restaurant with delicious food and a great atmosphere!

What a fantastic restaurant! Delicious food and excellent service. Definitely recommended.

Lovely French brasserie. Friendly service and excellent wine!

Last weekend we were here for Valentine's Day. Due to traffic in Amsterdam, we were delayed by 30 minutes. We had informed them of this. We had to work with the time slot they had available. Now we only had about 50 minutes left. We had to pay a €40 deposit for the reservation, so it would have been a shame not to show up. The whole experience was rather rushed. The main course was quickly ordered, the order was placed, and 10 minutes before time, we received the bill. In 50 minutes, you're almost €100 lighter, and you don't really experience a relaxed and convivial dining experience. I find it outrageous that you only get 1.5 hours for your table and then have to leave. It all feels very rushed. Our seats weren't particularly comfortable either: we were in a corner, close to our neighbors, and my boyfriend was sitting against the coat rack. The whole experience didn't exactly make for a pleasant dining experience for us. Such a shame...

Such a sweet restaurant! Can only recommend! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious - maybe some more vegetarian options would be nice. Also, we really enjoyed the fresh cocktails!

What a lovely place! Friendly service and the food was incredibly delicious! I had the fish of the day, the rosefish, and it was truly amazing. The food was also served quickly, and the atmosphere is great.

Great food, good service. It's just a shame it's in Amsterdam.

Brasserie Lolita is highly recommended. The food is excellent: well-seasoned, fresh, and clearly prepared with care. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, making you feel instantly welcome. There's also a nice, relaxed atmosphere where you'll want to linger. In short: a great place for good food and a pleasant evening. 😊

Lovely little place in the heart of De Pijp. I've been enjoying brunch and dinner there for a long time.

Fantastic place with delicious food!

What a wonderful place! I live just around the corner and love coming here every weekend!! Whether for a full meal or that delicious Pichi Spritz, highly recommended!

Anyone still offering foie gras in 2026 is completely out of touch. Embarrassing.

Cute spot in the neighborhood for drinks and a bite to eat.

Nice place for brunch. The staff were very accommodating and attentive

Very cosy interior and a great atmosphere. The staff were attentive but aloof. The food was tasty, but honestly it came with enough salt to season the whole table. Maybe the kitchen was having a salty day

Amazing place for good food & atmosphere

We were a big group, and although the food was good, the overall experience left us extremely disappointed. The pricing was unreasonable, and what bothered us most was being served items we never requested (a 72 euros bottle of wine when we asked for the 56 euros one!!!) especially multiple bottles of water that came at an absurd cost. In the end, we were charged 50 euros just for water on a €1,200 bill. This is completely unacceptable. I cannot recommend this place to anyone who values fairness and honesty in their dining experience.

To be fair, your restaurant is a lovely, cozy place, and the food is also great. However, we didn't have a pleasant experience with you last weekend... I read this in another review recently and thought it must have been a mistake, but no... This morning I carefully reviewed the reservation process again, and my suspicion from yesterday proved correct. When making a reservation with a deposit, no time slot was available. After paying a deposit of €80 for 4 people, the reservation details suddenly appeared. 1.5 hours to eat. This didn't feel great beforehand, but hey... we had already paid the deposit. Upon arrival yesterday, it immediately felt rushed and unpleasant. The food was delicious, as was the wine, but it's completely inappropriate to have to eat for 1.5 hours with these prices. The most annoying thing for us was that we didn't even get to enjoy a 3-course meal during our dinner! It was suggested that we could have dessert while standing at the bar for two people and then sitting at the bar for two! This isn't right, is it? The four of us paid over €350 for 1.5 hours, and after much insistence, we were given an extra 10 minutes. I find this really rude and will not return for this reason. It feels very underhanded to only communicate this time slot after a reservation has been made; what an annoying way to do it. The day after our dinner, we received an email from the restaurant. "How did you find it at our place?" I shared the above information, hoping to receive a response. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything back, so there doesn't seem to be any genuine interest in feedback. Again: it could have been a fantastic family evening for the four of us, but this time-consuming process completely ruined it, and now it feels like I paid a fortune for a 1.5-hour "fast-food" contest.

Food was good. However, the service was the worst I experienced in my 4 years in Amsterdam. We had a 2 hour reservation for 10 people. The first sentence from the waiter was „you have 1 hour until the next guest“. Then the a service followed that was not sharp at all, missing orders, many empty glasses. Please do not take reservations if you cannot handle it, otherwise it just ruins the evening

Lots of fantastic little and bigger plates. Really enjoyed the silky potato with bourguignon. Very attentive and helpful staff, too.

I still find it strange that you can't pay cash in some restaurants, but that doesn't change the fact that the food is truly fantastic!!!!

This place is phenomenal. Delicious food and warm staff. Professionally dressed crew in an open kitchen. Was great for that small cozy bozie feeling. Enjoyed a lot and willl be back when in town. If I could make one suggestion to make it more cozier would be some fresh bread and french butter.

Fantastic restaurant, really delicious!!! The star of the menu was the haricots verts and the Madelines. Steak was cooked perfectly. I think you can skip the ravioli and the leeks. Thanks so much to our awesome waiter Melle!!!

Very nice place and the food was divine.

I came here for a celebration with my family and we had the best time. The food is very carefully prepared and the taste is exquisite. I can only recommend it!

We had dinner last Saturday evening. We booked a table from 6:45 PM. I arrived at 6:50 PM, and my date arrived about two minutes later. Almost immediately at the start, when the menu was handed out, and twice during the meal, we were repeatedly made clear—albeit in a friendly and humorous tone—that time was limited and therefore we were in a hurry to eat. We didn't have much time left, and if we wanted anything extra—which I understand, and it's nice—we had to order it as soon as possible (say, after sitting there for 25/30 minutes). However, as guests, you don't let it distract you too much, but we were put under time pressure. Our dishes, a steak and a steak tartare, were served a full 5-8 minutes after ordering. On the one hand, the service was very quick and pleasant, but on the other, it raised questions about whether the food had been prepared "fresh" immediately, or whether (the steak) had been microwaved or heated briefly. Small note: I had asked the waitstaff for a jar of salt, but despite waiting a while (me and my food), it didn't arrive. This combined with the general "hurry/hurry up" feeling. On the other hand, it was busy, and you hope the staff will keep an eye on you when you want something. Just like the small thing about having to chase after my beer, which I didn't know was there. My date and I have never felt so pressured to order quickly, to rush during our meal (while we were actually eating). This turned it into a kind of "marathon/cramming-it-out-of-the-way-of-food experience" instead of a relaxing moment of talking to each other and enjoying the food, drinks, and atmosphere. We were out the door just before 8:15 pm and headed to the pub. The staff were otherwise pleasant, and we had a short, pleasant chat with them at the end. While the service was friendly, objectively speaking, it was very unprofessional and rather rude. Perhaps something went seriously wrong here, whether it was customer service or time management when scheduling a "time slot." Partly because we were told to hurry 30 minutes before the end of the time slot—say, a quarter to 8—while we were still eating and supposedly had 30 minutes left. This isn't McDonald's—in fact, unless they're closing, you're not told multiple times during your meal, and beforehand when ordering, that there's a certain urgency/time pressure. And if something went wrong with the online booking system or whatever, fine, but this was a major disappointment for our dining experience—our first date. And if we ate incredibly slowly, showed up way too late, or ordered too many dishes, which would indicate we were overtime, I would understand. But we finished our meal—even without any notification from the staff—around 8 p.m. And: perhaps this is common practice at Lolita's, and in that case, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a quiet meal on a Saturday night, for example. Tip for servers: carefully consider the potential impact of giving quick hints and comments before and during the meal that amount to "hurry up." Customer service is 0.0. Greetings, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask.

Really cozy restaurant for date night or intimate celebrations. The quality of food and drinks is good.

Don't come here for the friendliness of the staff. You'll be greeted by the most arrogant service imaginable. 👎 - shame.

We ordered 5 items, 2 of them we just couldn’t eat. One ok and one good. Service was good. We got the bill verbally and given the impression the the umbers didn’t match. Ended up going to another place nearby.

Amazing food and a cozy atmosphere! The entrecôte was phenomenal, and both the wine and dessert were excellent. Highly recommend!

A truly delicious meal. Especially when served by that fine man.

Our favorite pizzeria! Always good food and excellent service. The waterfront location is also nice.

It's clearly stated in the reservation and order that someone is allergic to pine nuts. So, if you get a caponata with pine nuts in it, you're left wondering... The food was otherwise good. Furthermore, it's not recommended to eat at the much-too-small round tables. Fortunately, there are also larger tables.

Great place, would recommend, one of the places that has been around for at least a few years. Bit pricey for the area.. but otherwise good!

another one of those amsterdam restaurants that looks very nice but that food is pretty bad. my friend got food poisoning from the lobster risotto 🫥

This is a great all around restaurant especialy the service is fantástic and the food is beyond

A gem of a place in De Pijp ,serving yummylicious coctails and tasty food .The service was amazing with humble staff and lovely ambience along with good music.

Delicious food, super nice atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff.

Incredible meat and good service. We had a good time there. Thank you

The quality of the meat is worth a visit. The atmosphere is quite noisy due to the close proximity of the tables.

Delicious food. Good food without fuss. Good and friendly service. Recommended.

Ate here with a group where 'shared dining' had been reserved. Unfortunately, after intestinal surgery, I can no longer tolerate all foods. I was therefore asked not to include certain ingredients (such as onion, garlic, leek, pepper, heavy cabbage) or to make something separate so that I could also eat it. This resulted in me getting a plate of plain risotto rice and being able to eat it with the dessert. The steak, salad, fish and another dish were all prepared onion and garlic. A very simple dinner. And while this food was you can also prepare it taking into account the limitation in ingredients. Even though it had already been indicated 2 weeks in advance that 1 person could not eat everything. So people with a food restriction, don't go here!

A restaurant with many tables and an open atmosphere. Lots of young people coming for a bite to eat. Service is excellent and so is the food. Don't expect haute cuisine, but a decent bite. The prices are high for what you get, but that applies to Amsterdam in general.

Great food and service. Special recognition to Renee.

Alexander made my evening with his energy behind the bar. Will remember the interaction and service.

Great food and excellent service, will definitely love visiting it back with our teams, colleagues and families!!

A good option since they have the kitchen open until late, which most places in the area don't! Good atmosphere, average food and service.

The music is really too loud and too 'after ski', but the service and food are excellent!

Charging 7€ for tap water? This is not ok.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere

Fantastically beautiful French bistro where you are really pampered by the staff. Delicious small dishes that taste surprisingly good. The burger really sets a new standard in a city where there are many burgers. The steak with pepper sauce was also better than we expected. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and Pavlova, the perfect end to a delicious Sunday lunch.

My first time here (as a Londoner) and love it. Great staff, amazing service and the food was delicious :)

If youre looking to be treated disrespectful while having good food - voila Lolita got you! We reserved a dinner table for two online and paid the 40 Eur deposit. When arriving the restaurant it was packed, so we were offered two seats at the bar without further comment by the waiter. Only after we asked to have a table as we booked a dinner, we we were told to get a table when some people left. Seeing that people we indeed having their dinner on the bar table, this etablishment seems to believe a bar tcounter suitable for a dinner… well. Before the meal started - starter, main and dessert + a bottle of Margaux - we were offered a table, however: again we were sat in the bar area on a tiny bar table that doesnt even fit two plates. We again had to ask our waiter for a dinner table in the dining area - which seemed to have been free even before but it was not offered to us without a second reminder. At no point we heard any sort of excuse from the waiter for not being able to offer what was booked, rather we felt an arrogant attitude like we should already feel grateful for even being here. We understand that retaurants in AMS need to max out their capacity and also that people may not stick to their time slots, however trying to sell the next guest cheap at the bar and be impolite just because they are not regulars is inacceptable. Barely had such a bad service experience on such a high priced dinner - finally bill 170 EUR for two. The food was good to very good though - 4 out of 5 for the food, 0 out if 5 for the service.

Nice place to have dinner. Food is good, servers kind and nice mood.

Very expensive for what you get on the plate. Chef doesn't know how to cook a steak correctly. If you ask for "rare" or "medium rare" you will get medium. You have to pay extra for fries. Price/quality unsatisfactory. No wonder there were hardly any guests on a Sunday afternoon...

We had a lovely time. Very good quality food, the service was excellent and really nice and the vibe was young and cosy.

Nice dinner here. The waitresses were friendly. Food was good.

Staff super friendly. Food is good, not excellent but good.

Fantástica comida y servicio. A pesar de no tener una reserva, el servidor nos encontró un lugar en el bar y estamos muy contentos de que lo hicieran. La mejor comida que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo, cócteles increíbles y un servicio amable y acogedor. Nunca tuvimos la oportunidad de tener un vaso vacío y la factura era realmente razonable! Recomiendo encarecidamente, sin duda volveremos!

Little for much. Irish Coffee in half a wine glass.

So for the price you pay you expect a lot more. Furthermore, good atmosphere

Really good restaurant, good service and tasty food!

Cozy restaurant with great service. Unfortunately, the dressing for the starter (leek) was too overpowering, but the main course (the vol au vent) was very tasty. Service was smooth and very friendly. It was a busy Saturday, but everything went well, we had a pleasant evening.

All round fantastic evening at Brasserie Lolita. The food was incredible, we had the steak frites and they were cooked exactly as we wanted. As I am dairy intolerant, I could not have any of the desserts however the chef whipped up something for me which was delicious. The service was really good, super friendly team and very attentive. Definitely recommend!

Always good food and good drinks :) wine selection is good as well. It’s even more fun on the weekends when a little party starts at the end of your dinner 🫶

Great place, food and cocktails!

Brasserie Lolita is a lovely place with fantastic and attentive staff who make excellent wine recommendations. As people over 50, we had to use our phone to read the menu properly, but that did not spoil the taste fun. The leek as a starter is an absolute must. What a real taste sensation that was in addition to a unique experience. Everything was great, although the tables are perhaps a bit close together. But the great service and excellent quality of the food make up for it.

Had an amazing time - great and quick food & service. Will definitely come again ❤️

Visited the restaurant after their renovation, and the refreshed ambiance is lovely. During the Christmas holidays, we attended a music bingo night, and it was an absolute blast. The staff was great, the drinks were delicious, and the French cuisine was on point.
