Café Beurre in Staatsliedenbuurt

Wasn’t planning on sharing a review but got an email asking for it so I’m also sharing here for other’s visibility. Cozy vibe, good service, terrible food. Super simple food for a high price. Quality of food was quite low. Aubergine was undercooked and taste was just really average and flat and the sauce was not integrated in the dish. Oyster mushrooms, super simple dish with average taste! Entrecote was chewy with heavily salted cauliflower purée and sauce. Bread was nicely grilled but also super salted. All above and considering the small portions, we were wondering what it is that we are actually paying for! We stopped ordering more and switched to playing cards which was gezellig!

The restaurant looks really cute and has a great atmosphere for a night out dining. Unfortunately the corner we were sitting was freezing cold. We mentioned it but the waitress couldn’t change it. We recommended to have blankets in this corner as it was getting colder during the evenings I took a hot shower upon arriving home. The menu is interesting as it has a great variety of things we never heard of. Interesting combinations all of them tasty and a bit pricy. The service is super friendly and forward.

Me and my girlfriend were really excited to eat here. The vibe is cozy, comfortable and elegant. We also thought the service was great. Not pushy, and not dry either. Friendly staff. The food was enjoyable, visually pleasing as well. However the only issue we had was that something in the food made us both sick in the night. Not sure what it was, undercooked meat? But anyway, besides this last point- we were happy.

We had a delicious meal! The staff was very friendly. The music was loud and so noisy that we had trouble hearing each other.

The food was truly delicious. The staff were also very friendly. I highly recommend it!

Everything we ate was 10/10!!!! Super delicious & staff was very lovely!

Very very tasty, nice service, a bit pricey for the size of the portions

Am I crazy? I see all the positive reviews, but this was terrible. Everything is drowning in sauce and tasteless; we feel sick and rush out the door to grab a quick pizza. Some people might like it, but it's definitely not for everyone.

I highly recommend Café Beurre! I celebrated my 30th birthday here with friends, and it couldn't have been better. Incredibly delicious food, great wines, and excellent service. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also fantastic, with lovely lighting from the many candles and beautiful table decorations. At midnight, they even played the song "Happy Birthday" for me. I'll definitely be back!

Biggest red flag in town! Do not take too seriously what you see on Instagram... I got targeted by their account and really loved their artistic direction. The buttery vibe really got me but in the end, the place lame, butter is disgusting, the service is very bad and the restaurant itself is in the worst neighborhood of Amsterdam... Runaway!

Every dish was way too salty. Unfortunately it seems like this place is only instagrammable but lacks in culinary quality. Mousse aux chocolate wasn’t mousse at all but rather a block of ganache.

High quality dishes, with great sauces. Tried the aubergine, sourdough toast, cauliflower and sea bass - all good. Large natural wine selection. Fairly priced.

Small dished to share, not big portions and not particularly cheap but the food was really really tasty! The please is super cute

Delicious and exceptional dishes. Lots of vegetarian options. Would recommend for couples or small groups.

Mega thanks to Rutger for organizing the perfect evening here. He thought along with me about how we could make this dinner even more special, and made the evening go exactly as planned. 5 stars for this man! We were welcomed very warmly by the staff, which made you feel right at home in this nice, modest restaurant. The service was very neat, personal and not at all pushy. There is really nothing bad to say about the food, it was excellent! Very unique dishes, all with a very good taste. The portions were also perfect. A truly special experience that you don't just find in a restaurant! The extensive drinks menu and knowledge about the different wines made this dinner complete. They thought along with the preference of the guest, and asked with genuine interest about your taste. This restaurant is definitely recommended if you can appreciate good, special dinners. We really enjoyed our evening here and couldn't have wished for anything else. Rutger, you are a hero! Definitely see you again :)

A favorite of ours. Casual atmosphere but high quality food. Nice selection of wine. Great to sit out on the street and enjoy the neighborhood while having a really good meal. Lots of little plates. A diverse mix of food. Great for vegetarians. It may sound silly, but the grilled toast w/ their homemade butter and roasted garlic is a must have.

I just love spontaneous dinner plans.. we had nice little summer evening escape, with great service, recommendations on what to eat and how to combine with wine 🍷

Impeccable food and service. Can’t wait to return

Seems to be not so friendly for everyone

It's a shame how this restaurant handles its cancellations. No shows are very annoying for a restaurant and cost money. It's understandable that an amount (10 euros per person) is requested when making a reservation to keep this under control. However, if you are unlucky enough to get sick on the day of your reservation and you cancel properly (6 hours before the reservation), you will be treated the same as a no show. You will not get the amount back, you should have gotten sick the day before. Of course, your table will be reserved by someone else, it's always busy. The only option you are offered is to find someone else who can eat ad hoc. The amount will also not be reserved for you for the next time. That would be nice. Customer-friendly is different. Win-win for Beurre, too bad for the customer. Not chic.

Great wine and the food was good, and so was the atmosphere. However the portions are so small compared to what they cost. Sure, I understand the sharing concept and ordering several dishes. However, we spent 70 euros per person, we got home and had dinner again.

Whining in the press about the customers you attract? Wow, that's reached a new low level

The food? Truly amazing. The portions? Tiny. The atmosphere? About as warm as the broken heating. Add in a poor selection of non-alcoholic drinks and a setting that’s far from family-friendly and it’s hard to fully enjoy the meal. If you love great flavors but don’t mind leaving hungry, broke and cold, this is the place for you!

Been a couple time and always leave a bit dissapointed because of the food. It’s a bit bland, not refined and small portions for the price. I personally think the food at Calisto or Bottleshop is way better and often less expensive. Nice atmosphere and nice staff though!

Incredible food, packed with flavour (toast, corvina and red chicory with tahini were highlights, good cocktails too), original combinations and fast and efficient service! Big terrace too which is nice. Price wise isnt the worst I've seen in Amsterdam at similar places. Dessert is probably the most expensive. Would totally recommend!

Super tasty food but the portions are atrocious. Why are 6 pieces of gnocchi 20 euros ? Vibe is lovely, staff are helpful but we left hungry for the amount we paid. It’s more of a wine that you get a snack or two, do not go expecting to eat a full meal or to spend less than 100 euros.

Recently had diner with some friends. The french bistrot style menu is nice, wines could do better. The atmosphere howerer was a bad experience. Cold and very uncomfortable seats. There might have been a problem with the heating, but staff couldn't say. This place can definately be nice in summer.

Great place! Walked in spontaneously and were very happy to have landed in this particular restaurant. Super friendly ans helpful service. Great concept of being able to share meels (one often regrets to have ordered something because the plate of the other looks so much tastier…(?!)not happening here!). Every dish was interesting in taste, colour and texture. If I ever come back to Amsterdam, i’d go back there to fill up my stomach with their goodnesses… Thank you very much for this lovely evening

Heating piece; the whole thing cold. If the stove is broken, it is better to close the shop. Unfortunately, the place doesn't smell fresh either.

Disappointing. Dishes are nice but do not rise above mediocrity. It was cold and the portions were small. Price/quality not OK. Not a second time here.

Simply great. Delicious food and good service

Good and friendly staff. Food was OK but way too overpriced. You can’t charge €18 for 9 mussels, regardless fancy ingredients like saffron.

Very nice place with delicious food and good wines

Wonderful food and service, but the state of the interior is distractingly bad.

What started as my favorite restaurant that positioned itself as a restaurant for the neighborhood, has unfortunately now been a disappointment twice. The food will still be fantastic, but unfortunately I have already walked in and left twice. They pretend that there are still tables available for which you do not need to make a reservation, but in reality that appears not to be the case. The window tables that they say they keep available for walk-ins were eventually reserved. Or you should want to eat at the bar, but I think the food is a bit too pricey for that. Who knows, I might make another reservation.

Simply an amazing intimate place with wine and exquisite dishes.

Such a gem! One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to find a local, boutique space that reminds me - I am travelling- The staff is excellent, english not so good. We opted to take recommendations and the small platess that we shared were each excellent and delicious. The smoked eggs, the salad, the wine were all great. Atmosphere only as it was tiny and our table could barely hold our food.The price was very reasonable.

Delicious dishes and wines. Above all, cozy atmosphere!!

Everyone should wish to have this as their neighborhood go to restaurant. Staff was the sweetest and really helpful. Really nice dishes and cozy atmosphere.

A fantastic spot for a cozy dinner with friends! This restaurant offers a beautifully aesthetic atmosphere and design. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive! The menu is filled with a variety of unique dishes, perfect for sharing. The small bites are a great way to try different options. Highly recommend for an evening out!

What a huge disappointment. Let me start with something positive: the wine. Excellent. However, the food is very substandard. Portions way too small, food not tasty. Too bland. The dishes are very easy to recreate yourself. On the other hand, it all looks very neat. The service also leaves much to be desired. During the 2-hour session, no one came to our table (counting) zero times to ask if we wanted something to drink. Ultimately decided not to order dessert and continue the evening elsewhere. Almost inconceivable that Petit Peche (5 stars) is part of this restaurant. There really is a world of difference in terms of taste, service and experience.

Good was nice, but very little food

What a great restaurant! I normally don't eat vegetarian, but here I can eat every day. Super dishes brought to the table by the nicest service in Amsterdam. Delicious food, great service; absolutely recommended!

Very horny restaurant. Very tasty vegetarian dishes and very friendly service. The only disadvantage was that the chairs on the terrace were not very comfortable. But they are forgiven if you make such delicious food.

Very good meal Delicious flavor combinations

Hip concept of small sharing dishes, very tasty and creative. Intimate cozy vibe inside and a pleasant terrace. The mushroom brioche is a must to try! Although, they have a great selection of wine, I wouldn’t recommend experimenting with it, go with a nice mineral white wine, since every dish has a lot of butter.

This place has really gone downhill.

I could eat the brioche with shitake every day and almost everything on the menu is recommended! The desserts are also highly recommended. Staff was very sweet and helpful with allergies. Big 10

A very Amsterdam-ish hip place. I appreciated the menu and taste combinations it offers. But portions are small, so it’s better you don’t come hungry there. The service was alright, just alright, nothing else to add.

Such a nice place! The brioche with shitake is delicious. You can taste the pleasure and love with which everything is prepared. And that in a super relaxed, accessible atmosphere with lovely people. And then I haven't even mentioned the fine wine list. I also like that you can't make reservations.

Love the concept! A place that doesn’t require reservation and yet provides a cozy, comfortable setting to sample high quality food.

Café Beurre, a nice place with a lot of potential. The vegetarian menu can be sublime. However, the food is mediocre (not bad!) and pretentious. The flavors were not fully achieved, so the wine was actually the "highlight"... this is a missed opportunity. We were well received with a group of 4 on Friday evening and that was no problem at all. That is nice and refreshing by Amsterdam standards.

Very nice atmosphere, good vines and vegetarian menu Only walk-ins which is refreshing

Delicious food, even the apparently simple things were a party on the plate. Such as the BBQ toast. Fine wines and ditto service. New favorite in the neighborhood. Nice indoor and outdoor space. Back again soon.

Amazing fresh food! Tasty, delicate! Good wine menu ! The service is very kind! Thank you!!

Super delicate vegetarian cuisine. Place was super chill, not too loud, not too busy. Food was not too salty nor too sweet. A delight.

Highly recommend “oeuf smoked mayonnaise with fried capers” & “risotto with peas, green asparagus and feta”. It is the best vegan meal I have ever had!!! (But we wait for an hour to get our meal 🥲)

Nice accessible but good restaurant. Very nice and good service. And the food was very tasty.

Very nice cafe to visit. The experience was definitely a good one. The food was well prepared and tasteful. They even have a beautiful and creative vegetarian menu which is a plus, without forgetting the amazing prices. Love it. Will definitely be back

Great delicious food for fair price. Nice to have smaller portions so you can try a few things :) great cozy atmosphere as well. Perfect for dates 😌

I went twice at Café Beurre and I daresay I might leave it here. We had to wait more than 1h30 outside for a table inside and they don't serve mains outside. Kitchen service for food was really slow. Randomly the table of guys after us went inside before us. Overpriced and plates are very small, hardly is French Cuisine.

Lovely and great. Great menu that keeps updating, great wine selection with changing wine by the glass. Fully vegetarian.

Very tasty food, tasty dishes and a nice wine list. Good service too!

I had a very delicious food here. Great service great vibe and outstanding food

Delicious food. All dishes are incredibly good. The chocolate mousse was definitely my favorite! I would also recommend the alcohol-free cider. We will definitely come back :)

Amazing food, great service. Super recommended.

Cozy and romantic restaurant. The toast bbq was very good!

What a great place to eat vegetarian. Be sure to take your die-hard meat and fish lover here. They'll love it.

One of my favourite dinner places in Amsterdam! Nice wine list and knowledgeable and friendly staff.

The little sharing dishes tasted good, but are for super small eaters. I'm not a big eater and this is very little. Serve vegetarian with a view to making a lot of profit. Bread is not served .... if you want to dip in the butter sauces. The suggestion is to order a toast. For the ladies' toilet, you first have to pass the urinal in a small room and lighting is using a tea wax candle. Atmospheric? Depends what you like. Personally, not worth repeating even though it tasted good

A solid 7.5. The food is really good, lovely and creative (vegetarian!) menu. The toasted bread with butter tastes like heaven, yummm 10/10!! There’s an extensive wine list and a nice (alcohol) free cider. The food is definitely well prepared and tasteful. Unfortunately I have to say there are some things I didn’t like as much and therefore not a 10/10 for me. For one, some of the dishes seem a bit too pricy. A few slices of radish with butter for €5,5. Definitely lovely to look at, but basically not much and also not that special. Also the egg dish seems a bit on the steep side price wise as well (even though very tasty). The potato millefeuille was slightly over-fried, could taste a bit of a burned note, too bad. The fig dish seems a bit out of place for winter, not in season and the mouthfeel of the dish was a bit ‘ick’. The ricotta cream was grainy and overall the flavors just don’t seem to match. The King Boleten mushroom dish was nice but the sauce of Madeira was VERY overpowering. The biggest negative for me though was the ambiance. They were playing loud rap (?!?) music in the restaurant. And mind you that the restaurant is quite small and has a big speaker hanging in every corner. Like why… I guess some people don’t mind but when I go to dinner I prefer to be able to talk to my partner and like my music relaxed and in the background. But I guess that’s different for everybody. All in all, food was good, some points of improvement could make it great. Based on the overall ambiance and experience I will not be returning here.

You can’t miss this place ! The food is delicious, the flavors and perfect portions. The atmosphere is super cozy and relaxed... the staff young, friendly and kind: It is the perfect combination of relaxed but refined, romantic atmosphere. to go with your date, partner, friends .... You don’t need reservation which is also great! Just walk in

It was my first time in this restaurant & it is fantastic. The food is just really amazing. A must when you are in Amsterdam!

It's nice that there are still places where you can walk in on Saturday evenings without a reservation. Surprising dishes, almost all very tasty. Attentive controls!

Zeer kleine hapjes van uitstekende kwaliteit maar dan toch wel duur.

Bottle of house wine and the toast please

onverwacht, kwam om even wat te drinken, bleef eten, erg lekker allemaal, superfijne bediening, ontspannen, dank!

Nachtje Amsterdam met een vriendin geboekt. Zij eet vegetarisch en daardoor hier uit gekomen. Heel erg verrast! Super vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk eten. Ze nemen geen reserveringen aan, maar er is bijna altijd plek. Wij hebben eerst buiten een wijntje gedronken. Dikke aanrader

Heerlijk eten, beetje overpriced voor de kleine porties, maar erg lekker.

Food tasted good, but the long wait to get a table, the tiny portions and the crowded space made me sad. Very pricey but still left hungry..

The food is really amazing! Layers of flavor and nice combinations. This is best restaurant I have been in Amsterdam ! And with reasonable price

Very non-standard veggie-food, we shared a few small dishes that ended up being more than enough. That brioche with garlic butter 🥰

Superb food and amazing wine. One of the best restaurants I've been to in Amsterdam.

Echt mijn allerfavorietste restaurantje van de stad... het eten, de sfeer, de muziek. Maar vooral het eten!!! Kan niet lekkerder.

Verjaardag gevierd met 12 personen. Eten en drinken was heerlijk, service was professioneel en relaxed. Dank!

Food was tasty but we waited entirely too long for it to be worth it. We were seated for almost an hour and a half before any dish that we ordered arrived. We waited so long that we decided to pay before the rest of our food came and went to the Albert heijn across the street to get the rest of our fill.

Heerlijke avond gehad hier. Elk gerechtje was een feestje zo lekker, zeker een aanrader! Binnen zit je denk ik gezelliger dan buiten vanwege de grote straat waar het aan ligt.

We kwamen gisteren per toeval langs bij Beurre en konden een plekje krijgen aan de bar. Helemaal leuk! Vlotte bediening, fantastisch eten zonder vlees of vis, kleine gerechtjes om te delen, vol van smaak en met geweldige ingrediënten. We hebben onze vingers erbij opgegeten. Mijn partner en ik zijn beide grote eters en ik deel de mening dat de porties aan de kleine kant zijn zodat je veel moet bestellen om een beetje gevuld te raken. Voordeel is dan weer wel dat je al die zeldzaam lekkere gerechtjes kunt proeven! Ook heel bijzonder dat ze geen reserveringen aannemen (zo blijft het een beetje local) en dat ze geen menu online hebben staan. De kaart wisselt met de seizoenen mee, zoals het hoort.... We hebben genoten!

Fantastisch eten, service was top! (Dankjewel Rutger voor de fantastische wijn aanbeveling) en een hele fijne locatie/sfeer. Muziek was trouwens ook heel erg on point.

Overall good food and nice service. It is nice that the recipes revolve around the ‘beure’ theme. The cafe is a mix of food in tapas portions to share together with a bistro like atmosphere. However, the “tapas” are quite pricey for the type of simple food you get.

Eten was echt super lekker en leuke sfeer. De bediening was helaas wat minder. We zaten ongeveer 20 minuten om ons heen te kijken tot dat we een drankje konden bestellen of de menu kaart kregen. Prijs kwaliteit zeker wel goed. Als de bediening iets meer aanwezig was, was het een top avond geweest!

Veel smaak en toch het product zelf ook nog proeven. Heel smaakvol allemaal. En de bediening weet ook gewoon wat ze aan het doen zijn. Eten zoals eten hoort.

Zelden zo lekker uiteten geweest. Vegetarische kaart, sfeer en service waren top. Aanrader!!

It’s been a while since I had such a nice dining experience in Amsterdam. We were seated within minutes, staff was un-Amsterdam nice, service was smooth, good wines and well-thought buttery dishes (it’s in the name). I realized afterwards that all dishes were in fact vegetarian. We’ll come back :)

Heerlijk eten en fijne bediening!

Elk gerecht was mooi opgemaakt en smaakte erg lekker! De porties hadden voor ons wel iets groter mogen zijn aangezien je het deelt.

Great place with original food that is cooked to perfection.

Jaw droppingly good vegetarian cuisine.

Menu is quite unique, but the food was too salty. Service could definitely improve, you have to wait or keep asking for drinks.
