Cafe Tapas Bar in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

We stopped by **Café Tapas Bar** near Amsterdam’s Central Station for a quick dinner, drawn by its convenient location. Despite the fancy-sounding name, it’s more of a casual dining spot. The service was fine—nothing special but adequate. As for the food, we opted for mostly fried options to play it safe. My steak, ordered medium rare, was okay but leaned toward being a bit tough. Overall, the food was decent, though nothing particularly memorable. Be warned though that the portion for the Fish and Chips and some of the side dishes are quite small for the price It’s a good option if you’re looking for something quick and close to the station, but it’s quite expensive for some mains and sides, and don’t expect anything extraordinary.

The worst place I’ve eaten at in Amsterdam. Then you try to pay with a card, and they tell you they don’t accept cards, until they realize you don’t have cash and they are forced to let you pay with a card. Not recommended.

Food was mediocre for the price. Dry hamburger beef. Service was polite and nice, but when the time to pay arrived, they suddenly wanted cash, which we did not have. Overall disapointing.

I ordered tortilla de papas, it was not smtg I expected bruhhhhh

Service shit food shit we didnt even eat it And still let us pay for everything

Burger completely dry, fries as well. For the price you should definitely choose something else.

Canned olives, aioli, cheapest mayonnaise, chorizo ​​with cartilage... No recommendation!

We (two persons) wanted to split the bill. The women yelled at us and said do it yourself with a calculator…. Then she walked away and left us waiting… After 10 min another guy came out and we could pay..

Basic food is overpriced given the quality. Staff, primarily female witness was rude. They hated having you pay by card and refused to allow us to split the bill

So I was at this restaurant one day. I went inside because the price of the meal I wanted sounded reasonable. So I got my garlic chicken for 8€. And I ordered orange juice also. In the end when I had to pay check was 17,9€ . So I payed 10€ for 300ml juice? What? And they were almost angry that I don't have cash.

NO CARD PAYMENTS . Not very good food, bad service. No card payment.

Ate toast, omelette and Greek salad. Everything excellent!!!

The paella and pork escalope was tasteless. The chicken tasted weird. The fish was not ready. The cucumber in the salad was old.

Horrible place. AVOID AT ALL COST. They gave a table next to us tap water, when I asked for tap water they told me no. Then they said I could buy a large or small water. When I got a water they came back with a small and I said can I get a large instead. She told me no. Then it was cash only and they did not tell us this until the end of the meal and we had no cash. There are no signs anywhere saying cash only.

Cash only. No signs posted. Paid in foreign currency which they said was ok. Refused to give any change back. Don’t go there unless you have proper cash and want poor service.

I would even say zero. I order fried chorizos for 8.50 euros I am served a plate with something which is absolutely not chorizo ​​but a cut-up sausage So I asked the reason and I was told that they no longer had chorizo ​​so they added a sausage. We were absolutely not warned of this. The waitress tells us that it is a mistake on their part that they will cancel the order but as it is served we can eat it. Arriving at the checkout they charged us for the chorizo, the boss said that we didn't have to eat the sausage so he would make us pay the 8.50 euros, while the waitress told us that we could give them their mistake So I informed him that I would not pay because it was a mistake on their part. Unpleasant boss, who immediately fired his waitress. Boss shouting behind the bar at his waitress for 10 minutes To flee, unacceptable.

I am completely appalled with the treatment I witnessed of a patron at this restaurant. I was waiting to be served and observed the discrimination and outright bullying of an individual with a well-behaved and legitimate service dog. The restaurant should be ashamed. The individuals should be fired. I left immediately and will not support a business who has such disrespect for people with special needs. Disgusting.

If you are someone who lives with a disability don't go here! Unless discrimination is what you desire. We went there with my husband's service dog and we were, at first fairly politely, told we HAD to sit outside with our dog, when we explained she is a service dog they rudely said they don't care no dogs are allowed anywhere that food is served...wrong...I tried to explain that according to the government of the Netherlands service dogs are allowed in any public establishments, the incredibly rude girl behind the bar said "Those maybe your house rules, BYE!" So for the business and their staffs information I am copying the link to the Netherlands government website on assistance and service dogs https://www.government.nl/topics/care-and-support-at-home/question-and-answer/can-i-take-my-assistance-dog-with-me-everywhere-i-go

We went to Cafe Tapas thinking it was a great option due to how the cafe looks and with its location. The service was horrible and the waiters were rude (throwing sauces we asked for in our faces and their attitude was off). We ordered steak and burgers and the meat was uncooked and weird. Wouldn’t recommend

The staff was very kind to me and the food was great. The food was also priced very reasonably.

Until the end of dinner, we didn't know that payment could only be in cash. Nobody warns. Separate score for 5 people, they still broke through together. The waiters are rude. I don't recommend this place if you are in Amsterdam.

We only stopped there to have a drink. The server was okay. On the other hand, don't have sangria, too much orange juice, or lemonade; quite strange recipe

Tourists in Amsterdam, we stopped there twice, after a day of sightseeing: good welcome, we had tapas each time and it was good. It's true that we deserve a drink to see our drink...

food was absolutely awful- fries were bitter from frying in old oil, burger patty was like a sponge and the taste was not good, also they don’t tell you they don’t accept card until the moment when you get the check. avoid at all cost

I’m not one to ever compliment British cuisine but this restaurant is an insult to even the worst of English dishes. Rude staff, bad service, can’t even find an adjetive for the food I had in this place. As Spaniard, my feelings have been hurt and I demand reparations. Nothing “tapas” about this place. Save yourself some €€ and go to McDonalds

For food, I would give it a zero if it was possible. It's criminal to let such places operate in the main city centre.

Arrived in Amsterdam and unpleasant surprise. Disgusting burger meat, drink served in the can (not even glasses)…frankly to be avoided. In addition, prices identical to other much better restaurants.

Poor food and disgusting bathroom

They just warn you that cards aren’t accepted after you finish

Wow, that's not paella, I'm sorry but Indian rice will never work. It becomes dry and flavorless.

Nice friendly service and good food (breakfast service all day). Clean and comfortable. A great place to rest and watch the people of Amsterdam enjoy their day.

We enjoyed our breakfast with good service staff ..we advice

Honestly, this was the worst Tapas we have ever eaten. The garlic creme was tasted like Mayo from the bottle with garlic, the chorizo was just cheap chorizo slices and fried without anything else. Even the Olives were disgusting. I would not anyone recommend to eat this food, totally a waste of money and food. We had the impression that the cook does not know at all how to cook.

They don't accept cards and they don't warn you before you start eating. Unpleasant response from the waitress. I don't recommend it.

I always walk by this place and I wanted to give it try since the place looked very cozy and nice. So I had a mint tea there today, even though I arrived 20 minutes before they close, they prepared the tea with a very good quality and fresh mint and I enjoyed my short stay there. Definitely will go again.

The meat of burger is weird but the fries and onions are not bad

Serviceable stop on the way to Centraal Station. The food was ok - nothing to rave about, but arrived at proper temperature and it tasted fine. The girl helping us was busy, but still we were able to be taken care of. The dinning room is basically next to their patio/ sidewalk area and the smoke from the patrons blows right into the dinning room.

Right on the street, close to Amsterdam central. Good cup of coffee but didn’t buy any food.

Very professional, a must dine, will go again

Food was not great, except for the boquerones fritos. The rice in the paella sadly didn't have any taste, the sauces came from plastic packets. The softdrinks are really expensive considering that they are 0,2 liters. Can't complain about the service, we were taken care of well. The fact that you can only pay by cash is weird, but it wouldn't be a problem If they would put up a sign informing the customers.

我們8點來吃早餐， 服務人員很親切的招呼 他們的早餐好吃，你們也會喜歡喔

Visitato x colazione...bravissime le proprietarie

Not that good Adresse to make a breakfast. Orange juice is not fresh (but the price 🤑) bacon is not crispy and the toast is toooo expensive.

Very average food. I don't know why they called Tapas - may be a couple Spanish dishes. Service was OK

Paramos no dia do rei para comer. Nada demais. A costela estava boa, mas o entrecôte estava totalmente sem tempero...

well cooled drinks, atmosphere could be more welcoming

Solo pedí desayuno🍔 Hamburguesa, huevo frito, papas fritas, jugo de naranja y su cervecita.... 🍺👍

This bar is a gem! Unlike many other places around, they still serve food after 23:00, and the food is surprisingly delicious! They make incredibly good mussels and many of the other tapas we tried were a great success as well. Highly recommended :)

Ottimo cibo e prezzi contenuti. Servizio rapido e cortese. Personale molto disponibile.

Lekker eten goede prijs hadden patat met sate was prima en genoeg

This was a pleasant surprise. We were invited inside by an employee outside - which I don't normally allow to happen to me. We were not disappointed! Tried a handful of items on the menu and all were great. I was a huge fan of the baked mushrooms and chorizo...and also the serrano ham!

Nice food, great service. Would recommend and visit again

Очень вкусная кухня и невысокие цены
