Café Nieuw Amsterdam in Haarlemmerbuurt

A little off the main tourist street, in a quieter area, which is nice. The prices are a little high, but less excessive compared to other places in the area. The steak tartare was good, as were the fries, with a very generous portion. And above all, the service was excellent!

Nice building and nice atmosphere inside. But how dare you ask 8 euros for a small piece of apple pie that is not even special in taste! Ridiculous and not even worth half the price.

An old wine bar now in use as a café/restaurant. It is located in a beautiful colonial building. You sit there cozy and they have a nice terrace in the courtyard and 1 in front of the door. They serve delicious wines and the snacks are tasty. The service is always friendly. So if you want to eat or drink something somewhere in a special building then I would definitely go here.

Perfect cuisine in a nostalgic atmosphere

I hosted my 30th birthday party at the bar with about 40 people, and it was perfect! The venue is absolutely stunning, and the service was the best we’ve had in Amsterdam. The bartenders were super attentive, friendly, and catered to our every needs. I got so many compliments from my guests. Highly recommend!!

Cozy place we've been before, good food, nice atmosphere and very attentive and friendly staff.

10/10 service, our food took very long and this was handled very well! Mistaken can happen and they made up for it so would definitely come back! Very friendly staff & management!

Everything is great! But one big minus: there is foie gras on the menu. This is really not possible anymore! Hence 1 star

What a super nice restaurant! We are surprised by the nice atmosphere, nice staff and fantastic food! We will definitely come back.

Beautiful, spacious historic establishment with magnificent terraces. Top-notch cuisine, fast and courteous service, and a pleasant atmosphere. A fine wine list.

Amazing Sunday roast! We shared a generous platter with chicken, beef cheeks, pork belly, Yorkshire pudding, and seasonal veg—everything was tender, juicy, and perfectly crispy. Around €28 each and absolutely worth it. The setting in the historic West India Company building is stunning, and the service was lovely. Highly recommend!

Great food, nice service. We had the Sunday roast, lots of it and delicious.

Always nice alatmosphere, very kind stuff and garden is really nice during summer.

One of my favorite places at the moment for delicious bistro style food and good service!

What a great place to eat. Even the building is awesome. The Restaurant is located in a very historical building called West Indies House who was responsible for conceptualizing NYC. The company built a Fort in Manhattan and they used alot of inspiration for it from Amsterdam. Anyway the restaurant was a great recommendation from a friend and we literally ate there about 4x when we visited last week. The food was great and the staff even better. I highly recommend to try this out when you find yourself in Amsterdam.

Wonderful place in a beautiful location in Amsterdam. We sat on the street and enjoyed people watching, but there was also a beautiful garden with seating for more peace and quiet.

Awesome place. This historical building is breathtaking. It’s a little bit expensive but is worthly. Perfect for a brunch with friends.

Today, May 4, we visited the Restaurant. It is Excellent, good food, attention a 5 ✨, a very friendly girl served us. Flora. Many thanks to my friends Los De Nunzio for the invitation ❤️

Food was nicely presented , it looks very good in photos . However , the vol au vent was so salty .

Very nice restaurant with a very cute terrasse in the back. Excellent food for the price ! (And nice waiters)

5 stars ♥️ The bread is excellent and the beet salad is amazing. The main courses were outstanding we didn't even pause to take pictures. One was a beautifully cooked medium-rare meat dish, and the other featured golden puff pastry filled with tender chicken and mushrooms. The flavors were rich and satisfying found myself wiping the bowl clean. De chocolate cheese cake is good! A truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Delicious coffee, the food is a dream. Great service. I can only recommend everyone to take a break here.

We visited it with my friends and ordered some starters, steak and mussels. The food came really late (50 mins to 1 hr), the steak was overcooked and salty. And absolutely crazy that the mussel portion was only enough to feed a baby. Absolutely money scam!

Went there twice (for now), one time for dinner and another for a Sunday roast at lunch, both times the food and drinks were amazing! Really recommend!

Great spot and vibes, nice food and atmosphere. Would recommend for large groups

Amazing service, food and atmosphere- get the tartare with frois gras topper! And for history buffs This spot was once the headquarters of the Dutch West India Company, where plans were made in 1625 to found New Amsterdam—today’s New York City!

Was recommended by the hotel concierge to try this place, and I’m really happy I came here. Food was wonderful, the environment was nice, but abit too dark, should have more light. Service was great, loved the friendly and attentive staff. Ingredients were all fresh and tasty, think it’s a French fusion style kind of cooking.

Little gem in the center of Amsterdam! The historic site offers a magnificent setting. We were able to enjoy the charming interior courtyard, which allows us to have lunch while avoiding the noise of the street. We had the pastrami sandwich. It's not a simple sandwich, it's a chef's sandwich, cooked, with true and honest tastes, perfectly balanced. Add to that impeccable service, a attentive server attentive to our needs. Good advice, he was interested in our afternoon excursion and directed us. I warmly recommend, the kind of discreet but high-quality little place!

Delicious and wide menu, good service, beautiful venue.

A local stranger recommended this place while we didn’t get a table in another restaurant. The staff were so kind to accommodate 7 of us for dinner without any reservation. This is a fancy restaurant but not pretentious that serves high quality European food. We received excellent service and attention to details throughout our dinner. The menu is limited however the food were well presented and well executed, fine French wine too. Recommended for quality dining in a warm setting and reservation is recommended as it seems popular amongst the locals. We had a great dinner.

The place is really nice, the food is nothing out of the ordinary, specially for the price point. Expect waiting 1 hour for your main course and not get anything in between, you’ll go back home hungrier than you came here. 1/10

The Sunday roast is great, the building is beautiful, and there are not many tourists. It is a treasure restaurant in Amsterdam.

Sadly, visiting Café Nieuw isn’t one of my highlights in Amsterdam. The spot is ideally located. The building and interiors look amazing. There are many people so the place is quite lively at night. That’s where the pleasantries end. Everyone at my table went with the steak frites. The steak was cooked to our liking. The meat was tender, and the pepper sauce was also quite tasty. The fries were very disappointing. You can get better at the famous US fast food restaurants, which is unacceptable for a spot like this. The service was ok, though our server mistakenly served alcoholic beer to a non-alcohol drinker. It wasn’t a painful mistake this time, but it shouldn’t have happened.

Super service & nice place for drinks.

This review has a great deal of nostalgia, which contributes to my perfect experience. As a kid I visited the Netherlands and my uncle had me try the most amazing smoked fish. 20 years later it remains one of my most memorable bite and I finally asked my uncle what it was : Smoked Mackerel. My quest to experience that flavor again began again when I visited Amsterdam and ended with me having a lovely table outside , a crisp beverage and the most excellent smoked mackerel salad. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Absolutely great! It was my girlfriend's birthday, and I had indicated this in advance via my reservation. Everyone who came to serve us was aware of this and congratulated my friend. We were also welcomed with a glass of bubbles and there was a handwritten birthday card on the table. Definitely recommended!

I'm a local, this place is good

Top, top, top. Food, drinks and the staff. Really good!

Very cozy and a beautiful building! The staff it’s extremely nice!

Great ambience and place, food not so diverse but okay.

Amazing vibes of amsterdam ❤️ amazing people working ✊🏻❤️

Super friendly service even if you just have a cup of coffee.

A nice menu and a list of nice quality wines. The building and furnishings look nice and certainly not standard.

Just wow, this has quickly made it to our list of favorite restaurants. Happened across this warm, welcoming and vibrant restaurant whilst hunting out Petite Gateau down the road and popped in for Bitterballen and beer, but stayed for steak and fries. Before we'd left we boo ked for Sunday lunch tomorrow! Fantastic food coupled with the most attentive service from absolutely everyone that served us with a special shout out to Elena (if I remember correctly). Our first time in Amsterdam, but it won't be the last. Thanks for such a delightful meal. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow!

Two shrimps with an inedible risotto, a fish without accompaniment and a bill of €58. Go your way

Very nice place, we were having some beers and local delicacies (meatballen and cheese board) and the truth is that everything was very delicious. Spectacular service, attentive, pleasant and very friendly. Recommended site!!

You almost walk past it and then you think oh, why not. Not because it doesn't look nice.. No, it's very beautiful, but then you think in Amsterdam so that will be very expensive BUT THAT'S NOT 🥰 Super sweet, hard-working staff and almost Brabant friendly 😅 thank you for the nice coffee, delicious sourdough bread and the good care.

Incredibly terrible. We have been working our way through Amsterdam's Sunday lunch offerings, just when we thought we had found the worst we visited what looked like a swanky eatery. Service was great, however the despite the classy looking venue this did not extend to the food. Tell me more about the food I hear you say. 28eu x2 set meal, this gets you and your friend: deep fried chicken, deep fried pork belly, deep fried crispy potatoes, 12 not deep fried brussel sprouts which makes up the sum of all the vegetables on offer. Then there is a side dish of beef cheeks in baked beans which, for which I shall award 1 star, the rest is all negative stars. The food, if you want to call it that, was served on a single normal plate from which we had to share onto these ridiculous little plates, the gravy / food was so salty I was drinking water for the rest of the day. The venue was so loud you could barely hear the other person, hint ... buy sound absorbing noise boards. I just don't understand how whoever owns this place, which is clearly very nice has no understanding of what a Sunday lunch is, has not heard of vegetables, treats all their meats like a FEBO snackbar, and has never thought it might be an idea to dampen the noise with some modern solutions. And to top it off, when I passed the feedback to the waiter, in typical Dutch fashion, they went straight on to the defensive and made it my problem.

Very nice lunch. Simple and sincere dishes. Looking forward to coming for dinner and drinks sometime soon! Case itself is beautiful!

Nice tent. Staff really see you and within a beautiful setting. One of my favorites in the city center and delicious on a Sunday afternoon

The real question, after having tasted a spoon of their shrimp appetizer, was: why doesn't this place have a Michelin star? The food was excellent, as well as the service (heads up to Julia -i Hope I spelled your name correctly - ), and me and my wife enjoyed a wonderful evening with top-notch, quality food and hospitality. Congratulations to the owner for creating such a wonderful team, can't wait to come back again!

What a great restaurant, food 10/10, service 10/10 and I'm not even talking about the location. Highly recommended for any occasion!

The waiter spilled beer on my jacket. No one apologized to me. 20 minutes passed and no one cleaned the beer off the floor, we had to ask them to do it separately. We have been asking the waiter for 20 minutes to come to our table, but no one has come, even though we want to pay. I do not recommend it to anyone. The service is terrible.

Great spot for a relaxing meal. The building is beautiful and atmosphere very relaxing. The food is simple and tasty. We had the hamburger and the sweet potato soup. The waitstaff were very knowledgeable about food allergies.

One of the best places I ever been for sure Wow!!!

Everything was perfect,staff was amazing.

As everywhere in Amsterdam, the restaurant is well decorated with good atmosphere but the food is extremely disappointing. It wasn’t even good. I don’t recommend the lobster risotto (no lobster in it) if you have a normal appetite (I’m 155cm so imagine) and it’s “écœurant” (that doesn’t translate well). The beef was ok. For dessert I had the chocolate cheesecake which consistance made it very filling and écœurant as well. To sum up: a meh 60€/person dinner. I heard the bar and their cafe in the summer is nice though.

Nice ambiance, friendly and fast service. Food was a bit mediocre (also 24€ for a cabbage salad) and the steak was chewy. Maybe next time would try something different.

Very pleasant, nice employees, where people still laugh among themselves. The food was delicious too. We really enjoyed sea bass. Well prepared and beautifully laid out plates❤️

Very nice experience, staff was fast and very polite, food was great.

Beautiful place with nice surroundings. Staff generally friendly. It's a bit of a shame that the person who brought the food didn't have 30 seconds to take a photo of us. Roasted Sunday was fine, but our chicken was still raw on the inside.

Lovely experience, great service and atmosphere. Lovely bistro food

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here! The staff are polite, and friendly 😊 We were well looked after by them right from the time we arrived, to greeted, seated, and served. It was a busy evening, but they made sure to not forget us even though we were seated in the back in a cozy corner. And they even provided is alternatives for dietary intolerances ❤️ The portion sizes are optimal for a hungry bunch ;) Tip: Recommend the clams and pheasant, if you like shellfish and hunted fowl.

We took refuge in this café with its cozy, old-fashioned atmosphere. The old cast iron heaters that line each table allowed us to dry our soggy belongings. A very pretty setting. Warm and fast service. The food was very basic, with no surprises, but to sip a local beer and eat a warm croque monsieur, it's the ideal place.

Excellent welcoming staff. Food was excellent. Soup with sourdough bread as a side was more than enough for lunch. Also the croque madame was excellent.

Great food and wonderful friendly staff. It was an enjoyable dinner. Many interesting dishes to try.

Warm welcome, smooth service, good atmosphere 👌🏻

Found this gem as I was strolling, I adored the waiter she was very knowledgeable of the menu and the most liked dishes. Every dish looked full and tasty. The atmosphere was absolutely lovely. Awesome service, delicious drinks, flavorful food and the snacks were a delight. I have another trip planned to come back to Amsterdam next year I can't think about anything other than making this my first stop for the olives in the anchovy brine absolutely delicious! Such a delicious delight. Can't wait to visit again from the US just to order the olives. Maybe I should call and see if they ship to the US. 😉☺️ definitely worth the $$$

I got a gintonic and, unfortunatelly, I droped it (after two seaps, or 5 minutes). after cleaning the table, I got another, and I had to pay for it!!. frankly, I consider this really low service

We’ve come a couple of times already, for drinks, for lunch, and last time for the INCREDIBLE Sunday roast and—needless to say—it did. It disappoint at all. People in Amsterdam, come here for whatever yiur fancy or occasion and you will love it! And definitely come for Sunday roast 😍

Delicious meal with colleagues!

Good food. Ordered the Sunday roast and the staff were flexible and helped us change the order items. Good ambience.

The roast Sunday is delicious 👌👌

Beautiful place, really nice decorations & atmosphere. The staff is really friendly. The food is good, but some other dishes (hot) should be added to the menu. The cocktails are Amazing.

Had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Café Nieuw and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam. With a cozy interior, and its friendly staff, the restaurant alone is worth it. The chicken for two was delicious and a great quantity for the price, and the hash browns it comes with are addictive. All the other dishes I sampled were also very tasty. Hope to go back soon!

10 out of 10. The food, the service, the atmosphere are truly special. You feel taken care of and part of a very stylish, social and easy going energy. Can't wait to go back!

Greetings from Gilles and Herman Was perfect Mike

nice atmosphere, great service, but so crowded and noisy it was hard to have a one on one conversation

Fresh food in relaxed atmosphere. Very moist burger and fresh bread. Inspired menu with several interesting choices. The soup was creamy mustard and greens with nice seasoning. Slow on the service and young confused server. But very nice.

Fantastic! We had a private dinner upstairs. Amazing venue, attentive staff, really good wines and creative menu suitable for all food allergies and restrictions.

tourist trap, we waited 1 hour for 2 sandwiches, food was mid at best and overpriced. there are way better options around here

We went for Sunday Roast last weekend and had a fantastic time together. The place is very cozy and it turned out to be pretty busy when we came in, but that was not a problem for the service and atmosphere. Service is relaxed, also very quick and makes you feel welcome. The food was great and prices are fine for the experience you get. Thank you for a lovely Sunday Afternoon 🍂 See you soon =)

Warm recommendations! Delicious food and even better service! Great experience! 4 of us share the same experience - very good! Beside all dishes we eat here (steak s etc) one thing was amazing- bread! We order 5 times bread, best one we ever had. I have to emphasize chicken liver paste!

Very nice food just few options on the menu. We ate very tasty filet meat but it was cold and didn't come with anything. The service is very good as is the environment.

Delicious food (BBQ Spitskool highly recommended) and always exceptionally friendly staff. Beautiful and attractive decor. The wines that can be ordered by the glass are also of very good quality. The only point for improvement as far as I'm concerned is the Aperol Spritz, which really contains way too much ice.

Very cozy and delicious food. Quite pricey

I recommend the Caesar Salad! The chicken was very tender and flavorful :)

Super nice atmosphere, large but cozy. Tasty cocktails with good recommendations for each dish

Very valid place, good food good service, I suggest you try it!

What a wonderful place to land after a day of exploring Amsterdam. Today, October 30, 2024, it's already starting to feel like Christmas inside. Nice and very friendly staff. Received with a smile and that is what we received from our visitors. Thank you for that and see you soon.

We enjoyed our brunch, and the atmosphere was also fantastic.

Tried Cesar Salad and beef tartar, both seemed to be ok, although nothing extraordinary. It's a good place to get a quick lunch with a great service.

What a special and historic place to have a delicious lunch with excellent service. Highly recommended!

Great place, very nice Sunday roast, amazing service.

All round one of the best places in Amsterdam both for lunch and dinner, it’s really cozy in winter and they have a beautiful sunny courtyard in the summer. The food is fantastic and they serve nice wines as well. 5*

Most sincere and sweet service you can find in Amsterdam. Genuine hospitality and a very nice relaxed atmosphere. The food is really a gift for your tongue, especially the freshly baked madeleines 😍😍😍😍!!! Favorite.

Wonderful restaurant! Delicious food and pleasant staff! All around good vibes

Great location, gorgeous decor, nice staff, amazing history, good food & drink. Loved our visit here.

Pleasant decor, your plate fits on the table, and you don't sit directly on each other's lips, nice lunch menu, a relief, something different from those eternal croquettes. Good bread, creatively topped and very tasty! And, adequate, friendly service. In my opinion, highly recommended.

You don't get anything with your meat. A small amount of fries costs 8 euros and is so well done that you can hardly pick it up with your fork and you have to eat it with your hands. Vegetables came in the form of chicory with lots of cheese sauce. You also have to pay extra for that. We received side dishes a few minutes later, so we started with the meat. Extremely strange that they can't serve it at the same time. So they don't sell dishes to drive up the price. I can't imagine people coming back here for the dining experience.
