Café Twee Prinsen in Grachtengordel-West

Stopped by for some wine, snacks and views. Great setting and location, and the wine and food was great!

Staff totally ruin the experience - Atmosphere and drinks otherwise are good. None of these people seem to want to be here, they look genuinely angry at you like you are a burden to them, take forever to serve you, ignore you when you eventually have to try flag them down. What a shame because they have a recipe for success otherwise

Nice street corner to have few glasses of natural wine and some snacks.

absolutely lovely place! great selection of snacks and drinks and the staff is just amazing. highly recommend stopping by!

wines are great but staff is passive aggressive which i did understand on the first and 2nd time and tried to help myself for service since it was crowded, on the third round we kindly ask for the 3rd and they spilled all over while serving and was way too passive aggressive, said stuff like if you want faster service you can go to the bar etc.. ppl don’t come there to treat badly and keep up with your attitude even tho they are nice.

Lovely little wine bar, wine and nibbles very nice. Unfortunately let down by the rude staff, never been made to feel so unwelcome in a bar before

cute wine bar with indoor and outdoor seating, great wine and small plates

We were lucky enough to land a spot when we arrived, we sat outside and waited for the sunset while we had orange wine and nuts. The cafe was cozy enough, the wine was good, and the staff were kind. We wish they had sweets on the menu since we were having wine after dinner & wanted to pair it with something sweet. But their menu was pretty extensive with savoury snacks, so that’s good too.

Cute and small place with a good wine offer. The food selection is limited which is expected for a wine bar. The place is quite small and feels crowded and loud. Otherwise, the atmosphere is lovely.

Such a cute place to grab a drink! They have lots of outdoor seating and quick service.

Although natural wine is sometimes a challenge for me, they have truly delicious glasses here. From the advice and explanation to the sunshine on the terrace, everything was perfect. Top-notch!

Best meal we have had in Amsterdam! Call outs were the chili oil trout label and the burrata dip. Super crowded on a Saturday evening but we lucked out with an indoor seat.

Nice little pub, but very small.

Beautiful cozy small wine bar by the prinsengracht. Nice wine selection, good music. I will definitely visit again!

Great selection of natural wines

Great food, amazing atmosphere, & lovely staff

Best place to have a nice glass of wine and enjoy the sun! The service was amazing and the bread we had was delicious! 10/10⭐️

Very nice restaurant, friendly service, large wine selection

Might be the best bar I’ve ever been to??

If I could give this at 6 stars I would. It’s the best bar I’ve ever been too!!!! If I could, I would move in!!

awesome people working here, great wine and food, love the location right along the canal !

Such a nice place! We drank lots of different wines and they all tasted soo good! The sun also came out and there were lots of young people so the atmosphere was really cool and local and authentic which we loved. Will definitely come back

Outrageously high price for a glass of red wine served ice cold in a white wine glass, and very little at that. Nine euros!!!! I'm never going there again.

Lovely, subdued ambiance with candlelight, beautiful setting, excellent wine selection, a menu of sharing plates (very good!), and friendly service. Small space, few tables, you have to arrive at the right time! ;)

A really cool place with a great atmosphere for a drink! The place is very cozy and they also have board games. Excellent service!

A really cool bar to relax and enjoy. We went there three times during our visit and enjoyed champagne and appetizers. We'd go back again and again. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was unique.

It's now a wine bar. No more beers, regular soft drinks, or coffee or tea, but good wines and homemade soft drinks. Higher price range, cozy place.

We were only here for drinks; we didn't eat anything. The service was fast and friendly, nothing to complain about! The drinks were also well-prepared and delicious, but quite pricey. But that's the case everywhere in Amsterdam 🤭

Great selection of wines, the orange wine was delicious! We really enjoyed our visit.

NOTE: This experience took place last August. We didn't eat; we just went for a glass of wine after dinner elsewhere... And the truth is, the setting, the lively atmosphere, the friendly service from the waitress, and the quality of the wines (international wines—you probably know that the Netherlands isn't exactly a wine-producing country, but per capita wine consumption is much higher than in Spain) made it a fantastic evening. So much so... that we went back the next night! Don't miss it!

One of my favorite places in Amsterdam to take friends when they visit

Cozy wine bar, great selection and super comfortable

Especially fantastic outdoors when the sun is shining! A changing selection of natural wines by the glass.

Stopped by for an afternoon wine. Cosy bar with nice canal views and nice staff.

the menus were limited but we had some ciders and white wine the other day and they were good! the atmosphere was even better, perfect for a quiet night out with your friends or family☺️☺️

Very relaxed wine bar with great selection of wines by the glass (including orange) and bar snacks

Excellent service and good food. Great place for a break at the end of the day.

Great place to drink a beer and wine. There are a lot of options of wine.

Such a great experience. Super nice waitress and original drinks.

Excellent service. Good wine and appetizers.

Hello, On Monday, September 15th, my friend and I visited your place in Amsterdam because we really liked the atmosphere. The wine and the setting were wonderful, and we enjoyed sitting there for about an hour and a half. However, when we asked for the bill, we had a very unpleasant experience with your staff member Elin. We kindly requested to split the bill, and her reaction was shocking—she seemed upset and literally threw the card machine down in front of us, first at my friend and then at me. It felt very disrespectful and unprofessional. This behavior left us both extremely disappointed. Such treatment does not reflect the quality of such a beautiful place, and we feel it is important to report this incident.

On Monday, September 15th, we were in Amsterdam and decided to stop by this place while walking at night because we really liked the atmosphere. The wine and the setting were truly wonderful, and we enjoyed sitting there for about an hour and a half. However, when we asked for the bill, we encountered an unexpected and unpleasant situation. Since I had cash euros with me, I kindly asked Ms. Elin if I could pay in cash, but she said it was not possible. We respected this and then politely requested to split the bill. Unfortunately, her reaction was shocking—she seemed upset, and first threw the card machine down in front of me quite harshly, and then did the same to my friend. We were honestly very disappointed and surprised. Such behavior does not reflect the quality of such a beautiful place. We wanted to share this with you.

Very cozy place, delicious wines and very good snacks.

Wonderful experience. Jasmine is incredible. Gave phenomenal wine recommendations.

14 euros for 3 chips and some prosciutto... Worthless.

The place and the menu options are great. The service could be more proactive though. Stills an amazing experience.

Very recommended place! They even have amazing non alcoholic options - pear cider was amazing! Fun bites and good vibes

Lovey little natural wine bar settled on one of Amsterdam’s finest corner streets! Great service, would love to have gone back for the food as the menu sounded brilliant!

The atmosphere is fantastic. Just sit down, and when the waiter comes, you can order. I can see why it's so popular and crowded.

Canal-side terrace with original chairs and stools. Great atmosphere, friendly waitresses, and 16 wines by the glass! Great for sunny days!

Very nice for an aperitif, great selection of wines.

Slow, slow service. The waitstaff is pretty clueless.

Cafe Twee Prinsen is a super nice place, perfect for sitting outside and enjoying the view. It’s a beautiful little corner by the canal. I had a margarita and it was delicious – I loved it! I’ll definitely come back!

Saturday evening, FULLY crowded, yet the staff is able to provide seating with very short/no waiting time, great choice of wine and small bites It’s bustling with energy, great vibes

Sweet girl in the service. Nice wine list! Next time I will come and eat :) Nice place otherwise. Nothing to complain about!

Need more of this. Great summer wine bar. Sit on the curb, pull up a chair, canal behind you. Perfect place for a bottle and a hot day.

Amazing wine bar serving only natural wine. The food is delicious and imaginative. The small plates are actually quite large and two or three were enough for us between two people. The staff were delightful, attentive and had great recommendations. Beautiful spot on the canal.

Very nice wine bar with a great ambience!

Very central located wine bar, the snacks were not too bad , it’s only organic wine and it’s slightly pricey, I orient recommend for people who really enjoy wine, we ordered a bottle of white Bourgogne but it tasted like apple cider, not worthy for the price we paid for.

New favourite place in Amsterdam. Sit on the terrace and watch the world go by. Wines are great, all natural I think and simple food dishes.

Our favourite spot. I love every staff member in this place, always good vibes. Keep being you 💜

Worthless service. Especially that guy with the cap. Arrogant and unkind.

Lovely wine place. They have plenty of options, and also a simplified menu and helpful staff to support your choices. We were lucky to find a table for 3 as walk-ins

Lovely place with great atmosphere. I wish the waitress was more focused doing her job.

Nice on the terrace if you can get sat down. Great wine, nice staff

Nice atmosphere, good place to go for a glass of wine with your friend and play chess as well I would come back here again and again

Small but great vibes. Can't beat the wine selection!

really cute wine bar with great staff.

baddies behind the bar were sooooo sexy 10/10

great wine, good plates, great service, short girl with brown hair was really kind ❤️

this bar super cute and cozy, the staff was so sweet . the fact they have a snack list is so cool.

Great staff, great wines, great vibes.

One of my fav natural wine bars and their cheeses are insane! That’s the place where I take people when showing them the city. When it’s good weather they also have an outside sitting area next to a canal. So very local;) Definitely try their orange Pipino wine🧡 However, the service to be honest is pretty bed, don’t expect great treatment or waiters to be fast…

Very nice place, nice atmosphere and always pleasantly filled. The staff is friendly and they have a lot of knowledge about the products they sell. A place I would definitely recommend!

A Hidden Gem Near the Anne Frank House Twee Prinsen is a delightful and cozy wine bar that’s perfect for unwinding and connecting with friends or enjoying a more intimate one-on-one evening. Their wine selection is fantastic, offering everything from sparkling and orange wines to the classic reds and whites. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just looking for something new to try, there’s something here for everyone. The atmosphere is dimly lit and moody, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The staff are wonderfully down-to-earth and friendly, adding to the relaxed vibe of the place. An charming perk, is that you can borrow a deck of cards from them, if you ask nicely. This gives you another fun way to pass the time while sipping on your wine. Highly recommend checking this place out for a memorable and cozy experience.

I often come to this place, they have very good wines by the glass or the bottle, there is some savoury food. The atmosphere is special, good music, good people. When I need to choose a bottle of wine I always had good recommendations, very effective and nice service The only thing is often full.

Went with some friends at 15:00 since that’s when it opens and they made us wait outside in the cold without telling us they were not gonna open until 15:30. When they finally came outside they were really rude (also saying she thought we were waiting for an uber), even though she saw us wave and wait at the door. Very disappointed, we obviously left

Very bad service - we waited outside for more than 20 mins without any indication nor attention from the waitresses. Could be improved.

I was really excited to try this restaurant on my last day in Amsterdam after missing it earlier due to New Year’s closures. Their website said they opened at 3 PM, so we arrived right on time, along with a few others who were already waiting. At 3:10, a staff member opened the door, but instead of greeting us, she rudely said they weren’t open yet, shut the door, and aggressively closed the curtains. We waited longer, but no one updated us. After some time had passed, we managed to get her attention again. She began speaking to us through the door, but we couldn’t hear her. When we asked her to open the door, she reluctantly did so and told us that they would open in another 30 minutes. When I politely asked why this wasn’t communicated earlier, she dismissively said, “Well, I thought you were all waiting for an Uber.” It was clear we were there for the restaurant, and a simple, polite update would have gone a long way. Instead, the rude attitude left us shocked, and we decided to leave along with the other party who had been waiting. Based on that alone, I wouldn’t return or recommend this place and I really wish that person more peace in 2025 :) there seems to be a couple reviews about the attitudes there. You can do it, we believe in you ♥️ P.S To the ladies that waiting with us, you guys were awesome!

A local place to be in amsterdam with the best natural wine and food selection. The most cozy atmosphere and energy

Very nice girl who serves, excellent service

delicious atmosphere like the wines (I drank two of the orange Pépin and Sant’ellero and they were delicious)

Vibrant Wine bar in the heart of Amsterdam!

Came here with friends as it was a popular spot recently. None of the waiters greeted us or even acknowledged that we were there. It took more than 30 minutes to serve us a small bread platter and people were receiving their orders chaotically, regardless of when they ordered. The selection of wines is rather limited with no rose wines on the wine card.

Visited with friends on a Sunday evening and were absolutely disappointed by this “popular” place. The service is worse than in any other even average cafes. No one says hi or somewhat welcomes, you have to beg for attention all the time, otherwise you’ll never be served. The staff members are simply rude, one of them took one of our chairs and stood on it with their shoes on to get a bottle, without asking or saying sorry. We were waiting for a little snack of bread and ham for 40 MIN! P.s. And most importantly, the bathroom is all wet, dirty and stinks. Impossible to use it.

Came here at the recommendation of a local—apparently they are known for their “natural wine”. It was late when we arrived so they only had seats available at the bar—the place is tiny and dim lit! It took a while before the server (or bartender) came to take our drink order. Tried both of their orange wine options, Pépin and Andrias Gvino, both I thought were just okay, nothing really special. However, drink prices seemed reasonably.

Love coming here! Always a fun place to have nice wine, people watch and socialize. The people behind the bar are nice and hot. Feels like a warm bath🛁

And a very nice cafe, often very busy. But outside, just like inside, you can sit comfortably and drink natural wine and eat tasty snacks.

What a beautiful and charming little place. Incredible wines and food. The service was wonderful, very kind and attentive servers. A highlight of Amsterdam for sure.

Searched a long time for a wine bar with a good vibe. Stumbled upon this one. Did not disappoint.

Charming wine bar on the edge of the ravages of tourists. I spent the afternoon here resting my legs and reading a book by the window. Their wines are interesting, and the few I had all tasted great. It seemed to draw a crowd of both locals and tourists, but it is far enough from the city center that it was a clean and relatively quiet neighborhood. Great place to relax and refresh oneself, though the food portions are small snacks (not an inherently bad thing at all, just setting expectations). If you're a fan of orange wine, they have a number available and I enjoyed them tremendously. In the finest European style, it has a postage stamp sized toilet behind a door that your really have to wrestle open.

Great little place to watch the sunset....

Excellent atmosphere, nice natural wine!

Good natural wine selection. Great location and chilled atmosphere.

The place where I liked the bites more than the wine. The terrace gets very crowded during the warm day, but it’s pretty cozy inside also. Our experience would be much better if the service was actually explaining a few words about the wines we are drinking. Also, the glasses were not changed after switching the wine which I found strange. Overall a nice place for natural wine lovers!

Awful service. The girl who was supposed to serve us was extremely rude and demeaning. She refused to serve us and asked our group of friends to leave the bar (we were sitting outside by the canal) because of a complete misunderstanding and miscommunication that could have easily been handled in a more sophisticated manner. I hope you do better in the future but I won’t be recommending your place to anyone.

Had delicious small plates and a really nice bottle of orange wine (served without an ice bucket however), the outdoor seating area gets very crowded on summer afternoons but that’s part of the charm!

Delicious snacks, you just have to ask for them 8 times.

The staff is very attentive and sweet❤️ we tried orange and white wine and enjoyed the evening on the terrace. Recommend!

Great casual wine bar. Was perfect for a sunny Saturday lunch. Staff were super friendly & professional. Loved it!
