Café Anno 1890 in Buitenveldert-West

It looks like a local pub with slightly more upscale food. I had a good meal.

Had a delicious meal with friendly service!

Celebrated my birthday here. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail and the staff was very sweet and helpful. Thank you very much for the great service!

The atmosphere in the place makes all the magic Authentic and ancient bar, warm and special atmosphere

I am not a regular customer because I think the net curtains in front of the window look dirty, as if they haven't been washed in more than 10 years; I find that a real turn-off when going inside.

Had a delicious lunch with generously filled sandwiches!

Seemingly a nice establishment, but they can't even manage a glass of water, even though we ordered the maximum amount on the menu. Customer unfriendliness at its finest. A huge no-go.

The best coffee I ever had in Amsterdam.

Had the weekly special. For only €15.50. A mixed grill with shashlik, beef skewer, lamb chop, and chicken wing. With plenty of fries and a mountain of salad with delicious dressing. It was delicious.

Just a really nice old Amsterdam cafe. With very good food. My favorites are the chicken and the pork tenderloin satay. There is also often something going on. Definitely recommended!

You are treated very politely here.

Cozy spot for a beer - skip the food though

I’d say this is a pretty ordinary place, similar to many others you can find all over Amsterdam. It has an old-fashioned feel, with a somewhat dusty charm and the atmosphere of an old chest that's been sitting untouched for years. The appetizers were quite good. However, I have a lot of concerns about the service. The staff seemed inexperienced and not particularly competent. On top of that, some of them displayed rather strange behavior. We came as a large group because we had been planning to visit for a long time, but the experience did not impress us. We won’t be coming back. In the end, it simply wasn’t worth it.

Old-school Amsterdam cafe, but in Amstelveen. Remained authentic with a mixed crowd, from business people to locals. Great lunch menu; not haute cuisine, but good portions.

Cosy atmosphere, the staff was really nice and helpful with ordering. We highly recommend spare ribs.

If you're looking for an authentic spot, this is it! It’s not a touristy place (the menu is in Dutch), but the food speaks for itself. The ribs are a must-try—possibly the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Highly recommended for a real local experience!

Really nice looking bar, wonderful beer, the chef is the best, completely satisfied. I've rarely seen such a beautiful pub.

I've been coming here for years. Nice no-nonsense atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, and tasty food at a very reasonable price.

Since 1890 unbelievable, very otantik,atmosphere is perfect

Great Amsterdam café. No frills, simple, classic sandwiches, nothing more to change.

Cozy Amsterdam pub/restaurant, delicious food always! My local hangout, so to speak 👌

Authentic café, where everyone knows each other, and a friendly game of cards. Excellent service!

Wonderful, charming warm welcoming place….top top!

Cozy atmosphere, excellent lunch and dinner menu. Not too expensive.

Doesn't anyone think to throw some salt on the sidewalk? Everyone's slipping and sliding there anyway, including your guests. It's hopeless. Take a page from Van Leeuwen, for example.

A typical Dutch cafe, cozy and with good coffee

Nice traditional ambient, great and kind staff. Food comes fast and is delicious. Dogs also welcome.

Great restaurant where you can watch Ajax on a big screen. They offer well-known meat dishes and a weekly special. In my case, it was nasi goreng. It was very tasty, but the portion was too large for my liking. I would have preferred less rice and more vegetables.

Unfortunately, the reservation didn't go through despite being made by phone. Luckily, the staff handled it well. I ordered the weekly special: Nasi with chicken satay. Unfortunately, there was a lot of nasi (to me, too much), a little chicken, an egg, and few vegetables. The chicken was tasty, though. I would have liked a few more vegetables for more balance.

The Schnitzel we ordered damn dry 😬! No sauce to go with and only little mayonnaise with the fries 🫣So basic also cannot cook properly 😂Very disappointed! 👎😡 Good that one wait tall and handsome he was nice we make a joke about the foods 😁

This time it was too busy, so we had to go to another place down the street. But that's what makes this place what it is: comfortably crowded. Service is always good and if you have the chance, do order something for dinner. If it's full, just order a beer and enjoy the atmosphere.

Nice place. Nice stuff. Good service.

Delicious steak with fries and salad. Delicious

Great place with friendly staff. See you soon!

We had an excellent meal, not haute cuisine but simply tasty at reasonable prices.

Old-fashioned atmosphere, service, and quality food. Back again after a few months, and still top-notch!

Very friendly staff and the food was very tasty.

Good food and friendly staff. Awesome!

Haven't been there in 20 years. But nothing has changed, just a bit bigger. But the food remains excellent.

Such a beautiful and cozy bar in our new neighborhood! The interior design is amazing full of character, history, and nostalgic details. You can really feel that it’s an old bar with many memories kept alive through the decorations. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it’s definitely a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. Highly recommended!

Wonderful ambience and friendly service.

There was a cat here once and I never saw it again. I may be hallucinating. Do they have a cat here? Help

We've eaten here often and given it 5 stars in the past. Tonight, Anno didn't live up to those stars. The service was slow and chaotic. Ordered dishes were served to the wrong tables, both ours and others'. A simple glass of rosé took forever to arrive, even with repeat orders. The fries with our main course were cold and tough. New fries arrived after we'd already finished ours. Other guests who complained were told by the staff that they couldn't do anything about it either. No apology, no gesture to make amends. The sole and spare ribs were good, though. Anno 1890, you were much better in the past. I hope you'll correct the mistakes because you have a pleasant location and good food.

Delicious food, inexpensive, and very customer-friendly. Truly top-notch 1890.

A top spot since the 1970s. It remains cozy and good.

5.50 for brand weizen a nice Dutch beer (0.3L) but how can a pint (0.5L) of the same beer be 11.75? I feel ripped off

We had a delicious lunch. The tuna salad is fantastic! And Cora's service is great.

There's not much to say about it. It's become more of a meeting place for old people these days.

It's great here. Very friendly staff!

Just cozy, tasty satay and spare ribs

After visiting the Amsterdamse Bos we went for lunch at Anno 1890. As we were with 3, we wanted to sit together at the side of the cafe. However it wasn't allowed because of safety reasons, so we went to the front, but wasn't appealing; we went inside. The younger waitress took our delivery, but the older one (lady owner?) which brought our drinks was very unfriendly. I guess we came in at the last moment for lunch. They took all the menus from the tables as we waited for our delivery. We ordered onion soup (€7.95), vegetarian croquettes with toast (€10.50) and a selection of dips with bread (€6.95). Tasted all good and price was accordingly. The cafe looks very authentic. You can't park here, however just in front is a busstop.

it is a cozy cafe with good service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Quick service and good food but the price of beer is absurd. 11.75 for a pint of Texels wasn't something I was expecting.

Beautiful authentic brown café with friendly service

The same for 100 years, with Persian rugs on the table and a relaxed atmosphere. Didn't eat there so I can't say anything about that.

Nice cafe with tasty dishes for a good price.

Small portion of ribs, unfriendly service, deliberately not looking

How wonderful to have a drink in Café 1890 again after a long time. Ellen is, as usual, the best hostess I know.

I want to talk about the service, but there was no service. The waiter was rude and angry. We asked for napkins two times, but they didn't bring it. They brought the cake (which was ordered next to a coffee) very late. They brought the wrong drink, but we accepted it because we knew if we asked to change it, it would take forever.

And a really old cozy restaurant where I had lunch. The bouncers are perfect, delicious coffee, beautiful onion signs in the building. Yes, go there, enjoy!

Charming neighborhood pub in Amstelveen.

Love it! Everything about it was perfect I would highly recommend a trip to here! Loved it so much we went back the same day for another pint and some food! Great place for a schnitzel!

Understanding in Amsterdam as a brown cafe should be. Reasonable beer selection. Now also la chouffe on tap.

Always a good place for lunch or a drink. The special hot meat sandwich is highly recommended

So familiar. Food may not be super sexy but also no crazy surprises and such nice service.

An old brown cafe that has been around for many, many years. You can get a great bite here for lunch or dinner (also a different daily menu every day). The prices are reasonable. Also a great opportunity to have a drink outside on the terrace or inside with a group. The service is polite and fits in with the cafe 'environment'. Parking is possible on the street or diagonally across the street at the church.

The food is very good and nothing to complain about. But the service is really terrible! The older ladies serving/behind the bar are also not friendly at all. It's a shame for a cafe that has good food that the service is so poor and the staff is not friendly.

Wonderful Amsterdam atmosphere with good dishes and friendly service.

Very fun place, atmosphere is great

This bar and food establishment was actually our bus stop to our hotel a block away so out of the seven nights we must have stopped in at least five! ;) Our first morning, we actually had breakfast here. Cora was our waitress. She was very friendly and told us she was going on her fortieth year working here! For dinners, we tried their cheese burger, steak tips, chicken tenders and onion soup. All were delicious. Their prices and portions are reasonable too. The place is large but very cozy and their play list is awesome. So many American hits tinkling from the ceiling speakers. I highly recommend Cafe Anno 1890.

A nice venue with ample history and local culture

Well, you order a burger (with fries) and it comes with two majonaise. If you tell them, please take back the two majos (cos I do not like majo) but give me one ketch-up for the fries, they charge you for the ketch-up additional 0,50 EUROs...that is cheap, guys! Stop that please!

Decent food and always open! Good coffee and nice people!

Top location for a pleasant and delicious meal!

Nice place. Nice and old fashioned. The food was not good despite the small menu

The gentleman at the service today (12-1-2025) was/is not capable of taking or serving the ordered in a decent manner. Understaffing at its finest. The quality of the food also left much to be desired. Not what I'm used to from this chain where we as regular guests like to pop up for something to eat or drink.

Delicious food and cool old pub bar.

What a nice tent. I was there for lunch which was very tasty. The staff is very nice and helpful. The coffee is good and there is a very good atmosphere.

Cosy, warm and affordable. An icon in the meadow environment.

Full of locals and very kind service! Steak was just okay, the taste you can imagine, but gambas salad is another level. Very recommended!

Very rude middle age waiter ( usually she works at the bar). The cafe was empty but she gave us a table close to the toilet. We asked her to change a table but she just walked away. It took us a while to get a menu card. The bar is nice but bad service ruined our evening.

Excellent food, very friendly and the restaurant is beautiful, typical of here, it is a place you should visit if you come to Amsterdam

Very cozy cafe with excellent cuisine.

Nice and historic, must see for a good beer, average restaurant food

1890 is a typical old-school eatery, in a positive sense that is. The so-called living room feeling. We had that again here when I celebrated my birthday with my children and partners. The service is friendly and fast. Starters and steak, tournedos, chicken liver and steak were fine. Just a bit strange that they only found out very late that an ordered schnitzel was sold out. After a few hours of pleasant dining, I happily settled. All in all, drinks, starters, main courses and coffee/tea are less than 60 euros per person. Excellent price/quality ratio.

Full old dutch pub experience !

In the past (2 years ago it was great) the food was very disappointing compared to what you got 2 years ago

I didn't ask, but the moving images should have been turned off. I had a nice meal there. And it was fun.

Oldskool - stay that way forever.

I've been coming here for years and I enjoy it every time. From the nice atmosphere, the good service and the delicious food. Highly recommended for lovers of small happiness.

We had a party at the Bosbaan a little later that evening, but thank God we still found room here for a bite to eat. Nice casual pub atmosphere here and fast service. Price quality of the food was excellent and the meat was perfectly cooked.

The first time I had a great experience at Café Anno 1890, but the second time was very disappointing. Despite waiting outside for a long time, no one came to take my order. Inside I was ignored by the staff even after greeting. Unfortunately a disappointment - I won't be coming back here again.

The lady behind the bar is rude and xenophobic she would not serve us in English so my friend switched to Dutch and she still ignored us. Extremely rude, very disappointing to receive such service

This café is unique. One can readily notice that upon entering the facility (e.g. the tablecloths are made of fabric). Service is friendly, and the portions are generous. Recommended!

Friendly service, tasty food for a fair price

Attractive place with friendly staff and a delicious menu, although the vegetarian section could be a bit more extensive.

Delicious food and a nice dinner with my friend.

Large café that exudes old world charm. Good service and delicious food. And besides, the best urinals ever!!

We ate delicious soles, the atmosphere was good and cozy. Friendly staff and definitely recommended!

Understaffed, too few staff, sat for 1.10 with 1 beer, then finally ordered a drink and food, the veal liver was completely fried and it was clear that the cook does not know how to prepare it. Ladies of the service respect that you persevered, they were so busy due to understaffing.
