Cafe Nassau in Staatsliedenbuurt

One of the few restaurants open on Mondays! The staff is incredibly friendly, the service is excellent, and dogs are welcome and pampered. The food was delicious. Monday is burger day, and it was delicious. I like my burger a bit rare, but this one was well done! But it didn't detract from the flavor. Definitely worth going back 🙏💪🏽

Had a super fun evening, very nice staff with very tasty food!

Great atmosphere, food, service, and a super fun pub quiz! 🤩

We had a fantastic baby shower for my sister! Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderfully welcoming. We also had plenty of delicious food, plenty of space for gifts, and flexible service, which made it all even more relaxing. Highly recommended; we look back on a very successful day!

We had a wonderful lunch with a group. Leonie was very flexible and helped us tremendously!

For my 30th birthday, I had a fantastic lunch at Cafe Nassau with 43 friends and family. Excellent service, a very relaxed atmosphere, and delicious food. We had the dinner tasting for lunch, and it was the perfect amount per person. Thank you, Ian and Leonie, they made my day!

Delicious food and incredibly friendly and attentive service.

No pretense, no pointing to your pea with your little finger. No, just excellent food (the veggie burger; highly recommended), good beer, and pleasant wines. And the service? On time, attentive, and cheerful. In short: eating at Nassau is a treat, every time.

Great food and service! Everyone is really nice and welcoming :)

Great local cafe, fun and welcoming staff, comfortable with cosy atmosphere.

For my daughter's 17th birthday, I held a surprise lunch party at Cafe Nassau. From the very beginning, Leonie helped us plan the perfect party for 60 people. She offered ideas like combining the lunch tasting with soup, whether or not to include dessert, how to handle (strong) drinks, decorating the cafe, and providing a playlist. It was so much appreciated for her input beforehand. Leonie and her friendly and responsive crew worked incredibly hard, and serving the food for 60 people went perfectly! What a great planning experience! Regarding the lunch: the Pomodori bell pepper soup was delicious, as was the lunch tasting with a combination of vegan, vegetarian, and meat/fish sandwiches. Cafe Nassau is my daughter and my local pub. We've been going there since my daughter was a baby. The fact that I wanted to celebrate her birthday "in style" at that very location speaks volumes about how much we both love Nassau. My daughter loved the surprise party (which was the goal, of course), and Nassau's organization far exceeded our expectations. On to the next party at Nassau's. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal with a group of 55 women! We had the whole restaurant to ourselves, the menu was delicious, and the staff were very accommodating to our needs.

Really nice staff and very nice terrace! Definitely recommend for a sunny afternoon and night And the barman has impressive knowledge of hiphop music!

Very friendly and a lovely terrace for a drink by the canal

Monday burger deal is great. Note that the kitchen technically doesn't open until 5:30. I came in shortly after opening but I was lucky that they were graciously able to accommodate me. The burger is very tasty and well seasoned. The fries are nice too. Well worth the 14 euro price.

Had dinner with colleagues and opted for the tasting, delicious dishes, very tasty, recommended:-)

What an inviting and cozy restaurant! It was recommended to my husband and I by our VRBO host and we are so grateful he did. We ate here 4 of the 5 nights we spent in Amsterdam! The food was tasty, the service was friendly, and it just felt welcoming. Why would we go anywhere else? I cannot recommend it highly enough, particularly if you are staying in the Westerpark area.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and our waitress was accommodating throughout the night. Can’t believe I’ve never visited this restaurant before now! A definite hidden gem.

From the welcome to the burger to the decor, this place is really a 10/10!

Absolutely best cheesecake in Amsterdam!!!

Great food, great service, quick service and we were a real class group of 31 people

Service was really below par. I think the lady serving was fine with it all, she was chatting next to the bar with an acquaintance while we were in her field of vision signaling that we would like to order. No excuses when it finally happened. And no, we don't call a hamburger that is red on the inside pink at home, but simply raw and yes, we prefer that it goes back to the kitchen. Shame!

Cozy eatery just outside the busy center. 2km from central station. Delicious food and at a reasonable price. Friendly, somewhat chaotic service.

I have been here numerous times before and there is a reason I come back! This evening I had the most wonderful time ; food was fantastic, along with the wine and the service was so gezellig I had nothing more to ask for. Had the most perfect Sunday evening 🫶🏼

Food is very tasty, very relaxed atmosphere and super friendly service. Highly recommended!

It was horrible experience. To order we had to go to the cash register 3 times and place our own order. The waiters seem to be there only to leave food on the table. Also, the burger that used to be 13 Euros with fries and salad now comes at the same price without fries or salad. The burger is small and its taste is not close to average. Would we come again, I don't think so and I don't recommend it. The price is high and the taste is below standards.We ordered ceasar salad and asked without ansjovis, but came with ansjovis. Waitress could also not explain what is Shasuka. It was nuch better before, not anymore.

Food was half delivered with old prawn crackers, chef works without a T-shirt? satay was good.

Nice place, a bit of a shame that hygiene is not really observed. Service runs to pet a dog, then doesn't wash their hands or in the sink where the glasses are also washed...

Since i wrote the positive review below there has been a change of management. It is still a place for great food, but the new managements attitude is not good and it affects the service and atmosphere. I have been several times recently and each of the last three times service was poor (very slow), but the main issue was that when this was highlighted in any way the new manageress was dismissive and gave attitude. She seems to treat the place as a private club for friends, putting chatting with them above dealing with other customers. The latest was a night when despite having a reservation and being seated and ready to order for over 20minutes, our drinks arrived and we were ready to order our food, we were informed that because a party of 30 was due in (they weren’t even seated and ordering yet) and we were told our food would not be prepared yet until after that table had all been served. Typically no compensation was offered in any effort to recover service. The waitress was apologetic but she clearly had no ownership, and we were left with mo option other than to leave. She didnt/couldnt even offer our drinks (which by the way we just left). I have been a huge fan of this business and the food is still genuinely great. The sad truth is that it was special because unlike many Amsterdam restaurants it had a service standard like you find in other European cities. Not now though, its just another place where customers are an inconvenience to the management (unless they are a part of 30 I guess). I hope that that party become regulars, because i have been going at least twice a month with various friends for years. But no more. ———————————————-Genuinely the best burger and fries in Amsterdam. Monday deal is €12. But that’s not all, the chef is consistently turning out really high quality dishes with real care and attention. And unlike many place in NL (sorry my adopted home) the service is wonderful and the staff seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. In lockdown the cafe made real efforts to be of service as much as was possible with every rule change. On my recent of many many visits we had the bruschetta, ricotta ravioli, celeriac and truffle soup, and three amazing desserts. When I say they were all top class, it’s not because I’m easily pleased, it’s because they truly were. A strong measure of a great chef is often the simplest dishes and this person passes those tests (the Angus burger, fries, affrogato) with flying colours, before proving their credentials even further with the authentic fresh pasta and interesting refined desserts. I have reviewed before but the consistency is worth applauding and frankly, it’s got even better. Not to be missed. Oh and by the way, as it’s not a tourists restaurant (a few minutes walk from the west Jordaan) the prices are really reasonable. Did I mention the clever choice of wines (good quality, fair price, no paying just for the brand etc).

Came last minute to watch the England Euros game, and their hospitality and friendliness is a rare find! Very welcoming and accommodating, especially as we were the only English people in the bar, great snacks and pints! Would highly recommend this place to anyone watching to watch a game :)

Very nice pub quiz on Thursday!

I didn't eat there so I don't know

Just a nice drink after an outing with a snack.

Nice atmosphere, the fries are highly recommended. Large portions

Ate the shared dining menu here with a group of 50. Special evening with delicious food. The cote de boeuf with chimichuri is especially recommended. The people at Café Nassau are extremely helpful and were happy to think along with us and the wishes of our group. All in all a pleasant evening.

Nice place, it was quiet on Sunday afternoon. Nice beer and wine. Drinks board fine but pricey

Nice place, kind of Italian like food.

Excellent yummy food and very friendly service!

We have visited this cafe for lunch, I took a soup from chef, it was Minestrone. I loved it! The soup was so tasty 😋 Waited was friendly, food was ready fast. There are many places inside, but atmosphere is cozy and not noisy. My hearty recommendation 🔝

Always a great time here. Food and service are wonderful.

Had a delicious original lunch, nice cozy atmosphere, beautiful café!

Good food but takes very long. Quite cold inside in the winter through opening doors...

Cozy restaurant and good food! Both the couscous salad and the chicken burger were very tasty.

Na jaren lekker gegeten te hebben in een gezellige sfeer vanavond zwaar teleurgesteld wat betreft eten sfeer minder attente bediening na klacht over eten geen reactie uit de keuken en gewoon volledige rekening betaald

Verse producten. Heerlijke soep en prima service.

het was goed en eenvoudig en een beetje lang wachten vooraleer iemand kwam om de bestelling op te nemen maar daarna alles prima gezellig en heel goed eten

Nice cafe with lovely waitresses and delicious sandwiches! Chai latte was tasty too! Would love to come back here in summer and sit on the terrace under the sun by the canal.

Buen lugar para compartir y probar diferentes entradas. Buena cerveza!

Excellent food, staff and ambience! I spend the whole afternoon working from there and it was really good atmosphere! And lunch/coffee were amazing

Wat een heerlijke lunch met de meest fantastische bruchetta's, mijn favoriet was die met gebakken champignons en truffelolie. Een no nonsense café waar je ook lekker buiten kunt zitten. De bediening is zeer attent, snel en aardig. Hier kom ik zeker terug als ik weer in Amsterdam ben.

Lekker eten, vriendelijke bediening en gezellige inrichting. Wij waren met een groep van 8 en hebben hier een erg fijne avond gehad! Leuke locatie ook aan het water en ideaal om wat te onstnappen aan de drukte van de binnenstad.

I was lucky to pass by the area and find their Monday Burger Special. My Angus burger was simply out of this world and it’s one of the best that I had in my life. You have to give it a try! Thanks to the lady for her friendliness amazing service and bright smile, God bless you. Their is indoor and outdoor seating and the place is very beautifully arranged with a variety of seating options to choose. Like if you found my review helpful.

Elke keer weer een ontzettend fijne sfeer en heerlijk eten. Geen heel uitgebreide kaart, maar prima bereid. Absolute aanrader om lekker een hapje buiten de deur te eten.

Hier een feest gehouden voor grote groep van 70+ personen inclusief diner, supergoed geregeld door Hein en personeel. Hein gaf heel goede ideeën en suggesties qua eten, opstelling, indeling vd avond etc. Kreeg achteraf van veel gasten complimenten wb het eten, sfeer en bediening, 100% aanrader!

Prettig terras en vriendelijke bediening.

Heerlijk eten en een top bediening

Bardzo miłe miejsce i przepyszne jedzenie, polecam :)

Lovely, calm place with awesome - everything. Staff is helpful and smiling, both the inside and outside seating is great - especially the canal view. And the food is great. Really tasty burgers and sandwiches, and the truffle sauce + any of their fries is an otherworldly combo. Definite recommendation!

First night in Amsterdam, I was exhausted and famished, the Café has a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, comfortable furniture with soothing music. I ordered a glass of wine and the Saltimbocca dish, and I always end up not being able to eat up my food due to being too much — here? I threw caution to the wind. It was exquisite, full of flavour and refined. Such a delicate marriage between the pork, ham and spinach. I regretted not ordering the bruschetta as they looked amazing… so I went back on my last night. The one with the mushrooms, Parmesan and truffle oil had me nearly groan in delight. The crisp of the bread, the sweetness of baked basil tomato; they brought me a sweet white wine that was perfect and gave me a vibe from being on the French Riviera or the Amalfi coast. I meant to take a picture of the food…but I couldn’t stop myself and ate it all. It was just THAT good. ☀️ The staff was smiling, always prompt in arriving when called over and made insightful suggestions to both food and drink. They have a cheerful and dynamic disposition.⭐️ My favourite place in Amsterdam! Hands down! I also noticed board games on one of the shelves for family and friends. ❤️

My husband and I visited the restaurant for dinner on a Monday. The restaurant was full which we thought was a good sign. I would give this restaurant 5 stars for the service and the atmosphere and 3 stars for the food. We were seated at a large table by the canal. The atmosphere was lovely. We ordered a bottle of red wine. I don’t remember the name, but it was a Spanish wine for €38.50. It was very good. We had bruschetta for the appetizer and it was delicious. The mushroom one was our favorite. For the main we ordered burgers. They have a burger special on Mondays and everyone around us was ordering burgers, so we decided to do the same. The burgers were very disappointing. I ordered a vegetable burger. The patty was dry and ready salty. I took one bite and couldn’t eat it. My husband ordered a beef burger. He asked for medium-rare, but was told that the burger are all prepared the same way- a little pink inside. There was no pink in that burger. It was really overcooked. And the bun to burger ratio was way off. The bun was 40% bigger than the burger. The service was very friendly and attentive. I was a bit surprised however that we were charged for an uneaten burger even after I informed the waitress that I could not eat it because of the salt level.

Logely pub with bar food and fast service.

Good for a lunch in quiet corner

Will come again. Good-size portions. Casual & friendly atmosphere. Box of toys for the children.

Food was very tasty and made pretty fast. I’d 100% recommend!

We came across this cafe on the King’s Day last year and it was like a quiet harbor. I liked the tables outside near the canal but the vibe inside the cafe was also pretty nice. The waitress was friendly. We ordered coffees and pastel de nata which were too expensive in my opinion.

Wonderful neighborhood spot with wonderful food. Went here after Fabriques de Luminares and it was the perfect spot for a lovely lunch and beer with the kiddos.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Zondag avond heerlijk gezeten aan het water met een wijntje en biertje. Personeel was vriendelijk maar helaas was de borrel plank erg matig. Ons werd beloofd een grote borrel plank met vlees en kaas maar we kregen wat plakken ham en brokken kaas. Wij vond het niet waard voor bijna 20 euro.

Redelijk duur, maar wel erg lekkere hamburgers.

The vegetarian burger was very simple

Heel fijne zaak, met goede kwaliteit keuken en bediening en een fijne prijs.

Het eten,de uitsmijter was super lekker,brood lekker vers,n aanrader,de jonge dame in de bediening was erg druk in gesprek aan de bar met n mijnheer en deed de bediening er maar bij en verder kon de tafel schoner, verder n mooie stek aan de WitteKade en nogmaals de uitsmijter was heerlijk.

Gezellige pubquiz gehad, biertjes werden snel neergezet. De bitterballen waren koud, maar kregen direct nieuwe.

Delicious burger, friendly, profesional and pleasant staff, cool interiors. The Monday burger deal is a must-try!

Lovely quiet pub. Limited menu but all well cooked and good value. Happy to serve a kids+ potion to small adult rather than serve up too much food to someone who wouldn’t be able to eat it all

Samen met een groep van 80 dames hebben wij heerlijk gedineerd bij café Nassau. Het was een fantastische avond en alles was super geregeld. Fijn dat we de hele locatie konden gebruiken. Verder was het eten heerlijk het shared dining maakte het nog net een stukje specialer en gezelliger. Daarnaast was het personeel super gastvrij en vriendelijk. Zeker een plek om nogmaals terug te komen!
