Café 't Gasthuys in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Has some of the best value based food items in Amsterdam but steak it to cheap and soup of the day should have been bigger but chef cooked food perfectly and service was nice.

Simply wonderful 🫶🥰🫶🥰 Very delicious… Super service

I come here regularly and, as always, had a delicious meal again!

Nice, cozy brown pub / restaurant

Had a great day, incredibly friendly staff who are never too reluctant to go the extra mile. A bit of an open secret, but still my favorite spot on Thursday afternoons. And by now, Saturdays are really fun too! A small addition: it's still not on Mara Grimm's list, and that is a huge compliment and a reason to keep coming back here🤩

I have been coming here a few times a year for the past 25 years because the chicken satay, fries, and salad are very good, at a reasonable price. And the atmosphere is very pleasant, a real Amsterdam cafe. A few days ago we were there again, and my wife ordered a steak, well done. This steak was incredibly tough, and she did her best to cut small pieces and chew thoroughly, afraid she would choke. We mentioned it to the waitress, and again when paying the bill. The response was that this is normal for a well-done steak. I don't think that is correct: when I cook a well-done steak myself, the meat is a bit firmer, but not tough. I am a little worried that lower quality meat was used here. I hope the Gasthuys remains critical of these kinds of issues. Otherwise, we had a fine evening.

Great, typical brown café, a lovely waitress, and we were able to enjoy the famous bitterballen, delicious meat and cheese 😊

Friendly service, good coffee. Beautifully located.

Disappointing and Inconsistent Treatment of a Disabled Visitor! My partner and I were visiting Amsterdam from the UK. My partner has a mobility impairment, uses a mobility scooter, and holds a Blue Badge. We wanted to visit Upstairs Pancakes, but unfortunately the steep stairs make it inaccessible for my partner. On previous visits to Amsterdam, including two days before this incident, we had arranged with both Upstairs Pancakes and Café 't Gasthuys for my partner to sit at Café 't Gasthuys and eat a pancake purchased from Upstairs Pancakes. We also purchased drinks and snacks from Café 't Gasthuys, so both businesses benefited from our custom. During the previous two days of our visit, staff at both venues were welcoming and supportive, and the arrangement was not a problem. However, on Saturday 30 May, our experience at Café 't Gasthuys was completely different. The manager on duty told us that we could not stay. When we explained that the same arrangement had been agreed by staff on the previous days and on a previous trip, he simply stated that he was the manager and did not want us to remain. No explanation or alternative solution was offered. What was particularly upsetting was the lack of understanding and consideration shown towards a customer with a mobility impairment. We were not asking for special treatment—only for a practical accommodation that had already been accepted by both businesses and had worked well before. The inconsistency between staff members and the dismissive manner in which we were treated left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed. It unfortunately overshadowed what had otherwise been a positive experience in Amsterdam.

It has a lovely patio next to the canal, the potions are huge and recommended if you want to try local food

It's a great place to have a beer and a snack while enjoying a nice view. We were pleased.

The atmosphere was super nice! Right by the canal. Calm and authentic. We had our aperitifs there, and for the price, it was cheaper and better than other places. We decided to have dinner, and I ordered the ribs. Wow! The best I've had in a long time!

Amely is a 10/10! 🤩 Excellent service, super hardworking. The place is fantastic, away from the crowds, perfect for disconnecting and enjoying good food and beer.... 1000% recommended. Thank you so much from Chile 🇨🇱.

Today I ate the best pork tenderloin satay of my life. The satay was nice and spicy and the pork tenderloin firm and flavorful. Super friendly staff.

Perfect spot to get a bit to eat and a brew. With outdoor tables canal side which is where I sat. Had the burger & fries, salad, and of course a beer. Service was good, fairly quick, & reasonably priced. Eat while watching several boats big & small pass by. Little bit out of the centre in Rokin area and not as hectic. Definately worth a visit.

best apple pie i’ve had so far in Amsterdam <3

Very pleasant place in a beautiful neighborhood @Rokin - not as hectic as the classical city centre, there are all types of seats, great for large groups or couples. During the summer ☀️ there are seats outside next to the canal where the little boats are passing by with cheerful tourists & locals. The inside area is cozy, the staff is friendly and there is a decent selection of food & drinks typical gastropub Amsterdam. Loved this place.

Excellent burger with very tasty meat and sauce! The people working there are very nice and polite and welcoming! The snacks are not that tasty though. They are small and dry.

Nice bar with lots of tasty beers, cheap wine bottle of the week also great.

Fully local. Best place to tast Local drink. Local snacks. Local people

It’s cozy and local people are coming I guess which’s better, the BITTERBALLEN was good

The food and drinks here are excellent. The selection is good and the prices are fair. The atmosphere is pleasant and it's not too noisy. The staff is very friendly and the restrooms are clean. It's definitely worth a visit.

The atmosphere is extremely homely, they speak English very well.

Very cozy and the service is super friendly, the price is also really great!

Another great spot in Amsterdam. The cafe is very cozy. The prices are very good. Steak €29, satay €18. Those are prices that will make you happy.

Perfect food, good price, good service

Best cafe in Amsterdam if you are looking for a cozy, quick and easy lunch

Delicious food at a great price. A really nice place to sit. Friendly service.

Good pub for dinner and drink. The food is quite good (better than expected for a pub with food) We ordered bread with spreads (the bread is quite a lot for small portion of spreads) Beefstuck and spareribs (served with salads and fries), they are good taste, personally I find the spareribs is better. Dame blanche (normal ice cream with choco sauce and whippin cream)

Nice place, nice staff, nice beer. What more can you say? Well, the following: A pleasant find near the centre of the 'dam. I was wary of the more 'touristy' cafés/bars one would find near the centre, so was overjoyed to find this establishment. Tucked out of the way with a bustling yet welcoming vibe, this ticked all my proverbial boxes ✅ They say when in Rome, so when in Amsterdam, I partook in a Heineken. With the local water, not that Tadcaster muck, it was a tasty beverage for sure. Chased this up with another local tipple, the Skuumkoppe - yummo! All in all, an awesome time, just what I was looking for ☺️

Very nice Location with good beer

What a lovely wee bar at reasonable prices

Great little bar with good atmosphere. Local beers and snacks were nice

Excellent place next to a canal. We went twice, and the staff was excellent both times. The dishes were delicious and the atmosphere very nice. I would return.

The ribs, schnitzel, and burgers were delicious. Today's soup of the day was pumpkin – also very good. The drink selection was great :) Very nice – you gotta try it!

I was here on my arrival day. And even then, I had nothing but a pleasant atmosphere and personal attention. The staff are all fantastic!

We had lunch here canal side, food & drinks were good and very reasonably priced. Service was quick

Cozy place, very good prices for drinks and snacks. Great service, I'll be back!

We came here for lunch and sat inside. We immediately got a table for 2. The food was served very quickly and the burger was absolutely delicious! 🍔 The staff was super friendly and the prices are really great compared to the usual tourist hotspots. Highly recommended! ✅

Great place, good food at a reasonable price in Amsterdam's city center. Friendly waiter and a great wine of the month for the price. I'll be back!

Great place, especially for the city center

Great selection of beers, great music and the best chicken schnitzel I've ever had

I’m in love! I can definitely recommend this Café if you want to meet up with friends and have a few drinks. The cocktails are amazing!

On a positive note: the food was good and good value for money. However, paying €1 for a toilet while eating there is ridiculous. Even for Sail.

Nice bar, a few beers, old fashioned, but a nice feel

Tried bitterballen and an Amsterdam Mule for the first time and both were great! The food came out really fast, but it took a while to get the menu

El mejor bar de la ciudad! ¡No te lo puedes perder! Precios honestos, lo mejor que hay alrededor, ve y bebe, te divertirás, ¡lo vas a disfrutar!

This spot is really cool and chill, u can pick a beer that you like and drink it in peaceful place

Very pleasant place in a beautiful neighborhood not as hectic as the classical city centre, there are all types of seats as seen in the pictures and video, great for large groups or dates. Please follow my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@Super1Guide to watch amazing travel videos from all over the world.

Bitterballen and beer are tasty. The waitress was so kind. Location is very good

Super nice location, go to spot 💯💪

Fantastic service, friendly staff, lovely location. Would happily return.

Great food & drink at a reasonable price! Steak was cooked to perfection and the Black Angus Burger was excellent!

Gezellig plaatsje midden in de stad. Uitzicht op het water en de mooie gebouwen van de universiteit. Die uitleg kregen we van de vriendelijke serveuze. We dronken hier een lokale Gin en een Limoncello spritz! Leuk, gezellig en rustig. Totaal niet te druk. Even totaal ontspannen! Hier moet je zijn!

Super delicious food at fair, even averagely affordable prices. You can sit outside by a canal and escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit. A great place to have lunch or relax with a snack.

If you could give more than 5 stars I would have done so! I have known 't Gasthuys for at least 30 years and used to go there more often when I still lived in Amsterdam than now, since I moved. There is more and more to criticize about the catering industry, a reason for me to go less and then prefer to go to the familiar establishments. Yesterday in 't Gasthuys no predictable service (standard questions and comments) and just good food as I knew it for a remarkably reasonable price: apparently it is still possible, even in the heart of Amsterdam. But that service... wow! What a relief not to hear 'completely good' and 'everything to your liking' and to be addressed 'normally' in Dutch. Again: in the heart of Amsterdam. They take your order without a mobile device (or do so remarkably inconspicuously) and not only remember your order but also put it in front of the right person, both the drinks and the food. Maybe they know it so well because the drinks and food come from the bar and kitchen in no time, no idea, we're not even going to think about that. The way they stood at the table and walked across the (full) terrace was so smooth and with verve as if they had been working here for 30 years. But I can't remember being served by toddlers back then. I heard from a reliable source that a few younger employees recently took over 't Gasthuys. By people who get it, are clearly into it and know how to make your guests happy, thank you! ******

Great tasty food and drinks for a very good price, nice atmosphere and lots of choices

Me gusta este lugar porque está en el centro de la ciudad, pero especialmente en este canal la multitud no es demasiado grande. El lugar podría estar lleno si el tiempo es bueno (fuera), pero la gente rota rápidamente según mi experiencia. Sirven un montón de bebidas alcohólicas, cervezas, cócteles, etc .. y hamburguesas, otra comida rápida, guarniciones, por lo que se recomienda para comer algo también. Mi experiencia fue diferente con el personal. Están sobrecargados de trabajo lo admito, así que siempre corren a algún lugar pero definitivamente no son groseros. Fueron agradables y agradables conmigo.

Nice little restaurant, very fast and friendly service by young team, cheap and tasty food, large amount of different cocktails, good music.

Really a very nice place and great that it still exists! Not too complicated, just what you can expect from a brown café with a good price-quality ratio. It is also always very cozy and the employees contribute to this

We came here for lunch and sat outside. We were immediately seated for four. The food came super quickly, and the schnitzel was delicious.

Had a great meal here and not expensive. Toilets are super clean too and staff is very friendly. Sat on the terrace by the water

A very cozy place with a welcoming atmosphere and nice music. The beer is also reasonably priced by Amsterdam standards. Overall, a great experience.

Very cozy. Delicious beer—freshly tapped. It's bearable.

Beautiful outdoor area by the canal, great service, good food, and good drinks! A definite recommendation! 😋

I recommend it both for the quality and for the super kind and good staff!

Disfrutamos de un par de cervezas, Texels Skuumoppe e Ijwit, y un poco de bitterballen sentado en la terraza. El servicio era razonablemente rápido, y educado y amable. Cerveza y comida agradable y en conjunto una manera agradable de pasar una hora a la hora del almuerzo. Sin duda recomendaría.

We had a family dinner here with about 13 people. Everything was excellently prepared, the food delicious, the service friendly and attentive, and the place very cozy and clean. I've also been there several times for lunch, and it's also been excellent and great value. I think this is the only place in Amsterdam where you can still eat well for a reasonable price and with excellent service. Plus, they have a beautiful terrace next to one of Amsterdam's beautiful canals. You can also simply have a drink here and experience the original atmosphere of a typical, authentic Amsterdam bar. Highly recommended!

Topper. Eetcafé as a eetcafé should be. Satay, burgers, dish of the day. All fine. Good atmosphere. Nice people. Been coming here for a long time. Always cozy.

Pedí un mojito, no sabía nada más que agua. Se quejó y la camarera volvió con una nueva bebida. Sabía exactamente igual. 10 euros por agua. ¡Nunca volverá!

To be honest, we went here to eat because there wasn't anything else available nearby. But the food was good. Just home cooking. Burgers, chicken schnitzels and the like.

Very expensive 10e for Ij Wit beer, Not pleasant service, terrible energy. The service is very long, you have to wait for more than 45 minutes. They don’t look at you on purpose, they ignore you when someone looks at you, they don’t notice when you raise your hand, you have to yell or break dishes to get your attention. I'll never be here again. Zeer duur 10e voor Ij Wit bier, Slechte service, verschrikkelijke energie in de lucht. De bediening duurt erg lang, je moet meer dan 45 minuten wachten. Ze kijken je niet expres aan, ze negeren je als je naar hen kijkt, ze merken niet als je je hand opsteekt, je moet schreeuwen of borden kapotmaken om de aandacht te krijgen. Ik kom hier nooit meer terug. Very expensive 10e for beer Ij Wit, unpleasant service, terrible energy blows. Very long service, you have to wait more than 45 minutes. They don't look at you on purpose, they ignore you when you look at them, they don't notice when you raise your hand, you have to yell or break dishes to get attention. I will never be here again.

Buena ubicación, pero como otros han señalado en sus comentarios el personal es muy grosero y desdeñoso. Supongo que cuando estás ocupado está bien. Muy diferente al resto de Amsterdam

Friendly staff. Good service. Would recommend.

This is my favourite pub in Amsterdam! Super nice staff, great location and good prices. I keep coming especially for the 7€ cocktails <333. It's a very nice place, never disappoints

Very nice people, cosy place with good food 🤞

Super hospitable brown café. The lunch menu has a lot of variety and you really get a lot of food. The drinks menu is also good and extensive! Service super friendly.

I went with my mother. The waitress forgot half of our order. After about 20 minutes, I asked them, and apparently, she thought only my mom was going to eat.

What a great and cozy place! Nice real Amsterdam pub with cozy old-fashioned affordable prices. Really fast top service, friendly staff, and real coziness in this somewhat hidden brown pub. Hopefully the atmosphere as it was today will remain unchanged for a long time (and tourists will not take this over too); a real recommendation!

Good vibe, cozy and very affordable. Just a cozy brown cafe, but the food is really tasty. No soggy or dry fries. I am pleasantly surprised. Staff is also super nice. I always find Amsterdam a bit... it doesn't feel like my place often... All the tourists and the massiveness. Now in the palace surrounded by grumpy security guards and impressive marble. But the guest house was like coming home. :)

Excellent beer and food. Price/quality is about 4out of 5. Recommended.

10/10 food and the toilets were clean! Cozy atmosphere, staff was nice

Best homemade Chicken Satay in town!

Excellent service and good prices, very good atmosphere!!

Cozy café with tasty beers on the menu!

Nice place. Warm welcome. Recommended

Visité este pequeño lugar durante una visita de un día rápido con mi esposa. Hemos estado en Amsterdam un par de veces, así que sepa qué esperar. El lugar parecía limpio y agradable y voy a notar en este punto que mi crítica no se basa en la comida, no comimos allí. Pedí bebidas para mi esposa y para mí, que el barman confirmó como dos pintas. Después de recibir las bebidas, le pedí amablemente al barman que recargara la una para mí, ya que no estaba cerca de una pinta, era casi un cuarto corto. Él respondió con un "No, lo he tirado ahora y ya está" Le recordé amablemente que sí dijo pinta en el pedido y que lo que me había dado era bien, bien corto. (Especialmente a las 10 . 50 euros). Toda su actitud era extremadamente grosera y degradante. Incluso citó que tal vez debería visitar la cervecería local Heineken para probar que tiene razón. Le recordé que la cervecería Heineken es solo una de las muchas, solo porque son locales no les permite cambiar lo que es una pinta. Era un barman joven así que tal vez aprenda Tengo más de 50 años de edad y he trabajado muchos bares antes en la vida. Traté de explicar lo que era una pinta y que en realidad es una medida (568 ml) en lugar de una cita como cerveza grande. Aprecio que una cabeza pueda participar, pero como puede ver en mi foto, no hay cabeza aquí. Muy decepcionado con lo grosero y arrogante que era el barman, el servicio al cliente extremadamente pobre e incluso condescendiente. No parecía importarle, solo continuó de vuelta a la esquina del bar charlando con sus dos amigos del otro lado bebiendo. La foto muestra la bebida dada y antes de tocarla

Tourist rip-off! Be sure to check your invoice!

Very nice sitting at the front of the window. Many types of student discounts.

Very beautiful place. The employees are friendly.

Perfect beautiful place with amazing staff!

Stopped by for a quick late night bite. Friendly staff, great food with large portions!

Really great!!! Never had such a good meal for such accessible prices. I had a very nice evening with very friendly staff. Definitely come back!!!

A small, simple pub where food is still affordable. I like to come here just to eat good food. It is of course not high quality, but you shouldn't expect that for that price. If you are with a larger group, make sure to make a reservation.

Great selection of beer on tap, friendly service, great snacks and excellent prices, highly recommended!!!

Beer was perfect and this tacos too if I will visit Amsterdam again i will come here again Perfect and cheap

Great food, service and atmosphere at a very reasonable price

Service was super, singing old songs and having a laugh.

Price per beer is very reasonable and the service is very friendly, I often come here with my friends and there is always a seat available. I would not recommend the house wine, it is really not drinkable, but fortunately it is not that expensive!

El personal extremadamente grosero y desdeñoso, hizo sentir muy desagradable. Una vez nos sentamos para nuestras bebidas y finalmente nos pidieron que nos mudáramos en dos ocasiones. Se fue al final.
