Café Kramer in Grachtengordel-Zuid

A very pleasant place for breakfast and a drink, with a lake view and a very peaceful atmosphere

An amazing experience with such wonderful and kindly staff. A quiet little place of peace to enjoy a wonderful breakfast away from the bustle of the main high streets.

Service is terrible. Very rude waiter. Always giving an attitude an also always says that he is busy and can’t do stuff. We also asked for the checked and he did not bring it for 15 minutes and later when we reminded him, he said to come inside and pay because he is busy. We were late because of him. He also said he does not want to separate the check because he does not have the time to. Food is fine.

Good food! Excellent cocktails! Friendly and efficient service. Fair prices. Pleasant atmosphere, with nice background music at the perfect volume to enjoy without disturbing conversations. The cleanliness could be a little better, but overall, a nice place.

Dropped in for a light lunch and I was not disappointed. I had a smoked salmon sandwich and the tomato soup. The charming server did try to warn me that this was a lot of food. It was a lot but it did not get the best of me. The soup was fantastic. I will go back before I leave Amsterdam just for the soup alone. Give this place a go it was a great lunch, the beer was delicious also.

The best lasagna I've ever eaten! Friendly service, great view of the canal if you sit outside. The prices are a bit high, but it's definitely worth it! The quality, appearance, and taste of the food are phenomenal. I highly recommend it 😊

Very pleasant ladies and very quick-witted; it feels like coming home.

Nice lunch place with nice staff lovely atmosphere here

Great service. Nice drinks. Billiard upstairs. Bathroom with products free to use. The cat was my personal highlight!

When we asked what beers they had, the waiter only mentioned the most expensive beers - leffe and hoegarden - which were EUR 11.50 per pint! It’s ok to have expensive beer but the lack of transparency it not ok. If we had known we would have gotten the cheaper ones. Also right after placing our order, the same waiter asked us for a cigarette which is a little unprofessional

Nice terrasse, smiling waiter, clean bathrooms 🙂

Very nice cafe with good service. Main focus - cocktails. Not the first time here

Our neighborhood cafe offers excellent service and quality, reasonable prices, and very polite staff. They have delicious food. You should definitely try it; I'm sure you'll be satisfied. I recommend it. Thank you.

It is a very beautiful cafe and it has super nice service. I will definitely come back again.

A very cosy cafe either quick and friendly service and very reasonable prices.

Good food and excellent service, but it's a shame about the atmosphere: it's nice, but it could use a bit of a cleanup. One of us is allergic to cats, so I should point out that there's one running around the place. However, it didn't cause us any problems and we were able to eat without any worries; it's very reserved. The prices are very reasonable!

Good place to watch the boats pass on the canal

Kramer's katsu sandwich was a very tasty and perfect lunch. Fast and good service.

good service but received raw chicken for €17.5, very upset by this waste of money and didnt eat it because i cannot risk being ill abroad as a tourist! i think next time i am in amsterdam i will stick to supermarket snacks

Food is so delicious, view is also amazing. Total dutch experience❤️

Beautiful atmosphere with interesting guests Friendly & attentive service Great selection of coffee, cakes & food

Lovely server and great food. Hummus sandwich was amazing!

We had the Kramer's Katsu Sandwich and it was DELICIOUS!!! We didn't even need the fries because the sandwich was more than enough for us! If I'm ever in Amsterdam again, I'll come back here for another sandwich; highly recommended! It was also nice to have the cat come and lie down next to me. No begging, just went to sleep and let herself be petted.

Great food, friendly staff, fresh ingredients

We stumbled upon this place while walking back to our hotel from the Rijksmuseum. We were lucky enough to get a table outside and our waiter was attentive and super friendly. We shared the Kramer’s Katsu sandwich and it was delicious. This is a great place to grab something to eat while enjoying the sites of Amsterdam.

decent price for a great dinner. reservation recommended. we only stopped in amsterdam for two days so this place was a gem of a find since i wanted local food. GET THEIR APPLE DESSERT.

Great patio/terrace. Cozy pub like interior.

They have a kitty in the restaurant!!! 💕 We stopped here for coffee. Great ambiance and service. Coffee was not the strongest or best flavor, but was OK.

Lovely little spot with a menu that has something for everyone. Excellent waitress service. Food was quick and tasty. Reasonable prices that were quite competitive for Amsterdam. Available glasses and water which is unusual in a city where a lot of menus tell you they don't offer tap water. Nice selection of hot and cold drinks.

The staff took time to answer questions and give recommendations

I love this place. I ate the best nachos I have ever eaten. Pls what is the recipe I have never tried any like them😍😍😍😍

The world’s smallest lasagna at the price of a large one. Happy my Italian family in law didn’t have to see that.

Very nice, a great little mix/snack break with a few drinks, friendly staff, pub atmosphere, super cool. 🙏

Well located. Pleasant welcome.

Great old restaurant in Amsterdam. Whether you're looking for beer, a sandwich, or cake, this is the place to go. The cat lives in the restaurant and is part of the family.

Very friendly people, welcoming place ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely place on the river. Lovely staff. Reasonably priced Good good deals

A very welcoming place. The waiters are very friendly; it's worth it for breakfast, a break, or a few beers!

cute place, charming ambience, super delicious Cappuccino and great service and fair prices <3

Nice atmosphere, very welcoming servers. However, a major drawback was the nachos, which were practically inedible.

Nice place for lunch, a Kramer sandwich, and a Duvel. The cafe offers a view of the traffic in O20.

Amazing staff, big portions and very delicious food! Quite affordable as well! Definitely try the nachos.

Great service, good ambience, snacks portions are huge, amazing experience. Recommended.

Simply an excellent café. We come back here every time we visit Amsterdam. Of course, I'm also a big fan of Jean Pierre!

Cosy brown café. An oasis of sorts in the middle of Amsterdam's mayhem.

Just the chill Amsterdam vibe you want...peace for everybody 🤘

Mara helped us so well from start to finish, even in the toilets she even managed to give us the best service by getting deodorant from the warehouse

Telling us that there is no table left while there were empty tables

Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant experience here. The service was awful: a waiter was rude, and we were seated at a dirty table with plates left from previous customers. We waited almost 20 minutes for someone to come and take our order—or at least clean the table—and eventually left without being served.

Cozy atmosphere, good food, value for money, sufficient choice for a cafe, friendly and smooth service, sweet house cat.

Beautiful place, great atmosphere, excellent coffee.

Friendly service, delicious bitterballen!

Kramer's Katsu Sandwich is highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Cozy cafe and very friendly staff.

Amazing sandwiches, cosy atmosphere and reasonably priced

Wonderful place for breakfast! The service is great.

Enjoy a wonderful stay at Kramer's

A lovely, delicious lunch, great atmosphere, and fantastic service from Mario (aka Cosmo Kramer), the waiter! Highly recommended.

Decently priced for Amsterdam. The Kramer Katsu sandwich for 15.50 was very good. The staff was very polite and welcoming; they were out of room when we arrived, and they allowed us to sit at the bar even without ordering drinks.

Cute little spot to have delicious breakfast right on the canal. The cat was a wonderful hostess.

Food was excellent. Service was personable. Literally the best meal I ate in Amsterdam. Steak was perfect, salad being so good was a nice surprise! And price was reasonable.

Great place, delicious food and very friendly staff, and the cute, beautiful house cat kept me company during breakfast. Highly recommended!

Cosy, hand cut fries, good service.

We have been waiting for 30 minutes to get our beers. After they forgot our meet order and for a second time they forgot our second beer. It seemed as we could not be angry and service asking if we still want our order!!! I don’t know if it was not their day but they did not please us with our stay.

Perfect for a quick lunch Warm and welcoming service

We got drinks and the seating was good even during an afternoon rush with heavy rain. Staff were good.

Great little corner cafe for a libations and victuals in Amsterdam! I was tired of walking & energy was spent after a wonderful time at the Van Gogh museum. Initially, I had designs for an outdoor table which were filled before I strolled to the cafe. Undaunted, I went indoors for a table. My feet were glad and I was treated to a great meal with good beer. And, I met the resident feline. The chicken satay with salted & fries was perfect.

Nice atmosphere and good food! Also a very lovely cat named Jean-Pierre who kept me and my friends company during our visit

really good food and the staff is so nice!! they even have a cute cat in the restaurant

As others have said, it's as if the staff don't want you there

Nice, cozy place with a friendly atmosphere where you can have a delicious lunch or dinner.

Friendly service, nice atmosphere and had an excellent lunch.

The prices displayed are not the prices charged. We've been told that there is no food upstairs, but 50 seconds later someone else is served at another table.

Stopped for breakfast. Food was great and the service was phenomenal.

Every time I’m in Amsterdam I stop here! Delicious food and drink options. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The hummus sandwich is SO good

Nice place, food was delicious and service was great!

Simply fantastic! Excellent staff, good snacks and good prices, too! The portion of fries we got was very generous

Kramer's girls could have been your sisters. X

Extremely rude and disrespectful staff. We politely asked to use the restroom and agreed to pay when more than one of us needed it — no problem. Yet after paying and leaving politely, we were still called “rude.” The toilets themselves were smelly and unhygienic. As international guests, we expected at least basic courtesy. Instead, we left with the impression that this place lacks both hospitality and respect.

Very nice place to rest after a visit to a museum or just sightseeing, the food is good and the staff is very kind. In the good season you can sit outside.

This place was appalling, went in for a drink on a hot day to be spoken to like rubbish. Wouldn’t even recommend to a single person, was told to come to the bar to order, waited there to be told you wait at the table. We returned to our seats to then wait for a server, a server came over and just asked 1 person what they wanted, which we thought they can’t carry many drinks then?? The server came back with one drink and asked anything else, I then said my drink order to be told are you doing orders one by one or something in such a rude way, then to top it off didn’t even bother doing our drinks. We had enough and walked out to go to a store to get a bottle of drink. This was the worst place we’ve been to in Amsterdam and we’ve been in many shops as we have been stopping getting drinks in many places.

Yeah, you gotta just sit out front with a Jupiter beer and just watch Amsterdam roll by

They charge €1 extra for every person who wants to split the bill!!!

My worst experience in a restaurant in Amsterdam and in the Netherlands. The manager doesn't like foreigners... but doesn't say no to their money 😉 It's been going for years and will never change.

We visited this café around 12:30 and had a wonderful experience. The food was very tasty, the coffee was excellent, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. A place with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to come back.

A very nice café with very friendly staff. The ambiance is pleasant and you immediately feel at home. The food and drinks were both very good.

Went there for a Kaffe and a Leffe. Was a cozy local place. Toilets were fine.

Good service , staff are so kind! Look out for the car Jean Pierre this place has such a good atmosphere and is definetly affordable

A very cozy little restaurant just outside of Amsterdam's city center. Super friendly service, which was probably one of the owners. The resident cat, Jon Pir'e, also contributes to the atmosphere. The menu is concise and straightforward, but sufficient, and the beer is good. This, too, was recommended by the waitress. We were able to try bitterballen for the first time here! We'll definitely be back if we find ourselves back here.

Wow, what a cool staff working here this summer! Fun atmosphere, excellent and cold beer and delicious eggplant parmigiana and burgers! Came back the next day for the gorgeous apple cake straight from the local bakery! Thanks Café Kramer!

We had a delicious Caesar salad, with plenty of meat. There was also a selection of tasty fruit juices to drink, including pear juice. The service was friendly. It's also beautifully situated.

A nice little cafe in downtown Amsterdam. The atmosphere is great. The staff is friendly. The food was good, and you should definitely try the croquettes.

Nice coffee. Unfortunately, half of our order was "forgotten" and only arrived after the other dishes had been eaten. The food arrives inconsistently; while one person is almost finished, another is just getting theirs. The Caesar salad had hardly any dressing and was missing the walnuts. The chicken is unfortunately frozen and not fresh. Very, very dry and hard. The sandwich was good, but the menu should have mentioned the garlic it contains (for intolerance). The side salad had no dressing at all and was inedible. The outdoor seating is nice. The service is okay. The outdoor seating is very sporadic, and you have to be lucky to see someone outside.

Pipo the clown was complaining that we didn't tip enough…

The cocktails, the food and the service, fantastic!

Amazing café with very friendly and efficient staff! The burger and the fries were some of the best you will ever have! A very strong recommendation! (The coffee was also really great!)

We sat here in the evening, enjoying a drink and the atmosphere. Lovely little spot to watch the world go by.

Really cozy cafe with delicious food and friendly service.

Extraordinary croque madame!!! Delicious, richly filled!

Restaurant to avoid, bitter and rude waitresses, bordering on racist! Speaks badly of customers with her colleagues in front of the customers! We asked for change when we left to pay, the waitress threw the change at us on the bar! Not to mention that she charged us for bottles of water that she never served us during the entire meal. I do not recommend at all!

Very good food and friendly staff
