Canvas in Weesperzijde

We were waiting for the menu for 20-30 minutes, then we somehow caught waiter. After that we asked for drinks, and they gave us drinks after 20 minutes. Also we were waiting for food really long more than one hour. Also music here is really boring. After we asked for bill, they didn’t gave us enough candy’s, we were 6 people and they just gave us 2 candy’s.

Aimee and Nate were a slay. Closed early but personality hires were in check! Love you guys ❤️

I had an amazing experience the drinks were great compared to the price and the view is 10/10. The service was also super helpful.

The bartenders and servers were SOOO nice even though it was so busy each time I came in!!! You all rock!

The place was very beautiful and welcoming, especially the terrace. The weather was lovely, so we enjoyed the sunset and the beautiful view. The downside was that the kitchen closed early, and we couldn't eat in the restaurant.

The atmosphere was great. The portions just seemed a little small. Thank you for your friendly service.👍✨

The view is stunning! service is very friendly and helpful! we where just for some drinks here! and the drinks are great!

Causy, cozy, pleasant, informal service. Menu: Meat, Fish, or Vegetarian. Well prepared, flavorful. I don't think the trend of being able to order fries or fried potatoes separately as a side dish is justified.. It is something different from extra fries.

Went for drinks here with colleagues yesterday. The atmosphere is definitely there! Very nice view and beautiful interior. The drinks were good. What I do find less appealing is the amount of racism my colleague experienced. My colleague ordered an Ijwit at the bar, and he was told that they don't have Hennessy there. Even though he didn't ask for it at all. That is 101 anti-blackness coming from the staff there. Hopefully you will do something about this too, because this is truly UNACCEPTABLE.

I got a small lunch with fries and bitterballen with one friend at 1:30-2:30. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. I ordered a slightly different drink than I got, however what I received was really good. The views are incredible, and I love all the space you can walk around and explore, especially the window seats and rooftop balcony. The bathroom was clean and in good condition. This is my type of place!

Always amazing. Never a dull moment. With a kitchen like this and a DJ like that ❤️

From Canvas, you have a beautiful view of all sides of the city. (See also my photo.) The staff is friendly and helpful. A team from a large Dutch company in Amsterdam East recently booked dinner with you. They had asked us to show them the area around their branch and tell engaging stories about it. (Which includes the Knowledge Mile, where the Volkshotel is located.) As Lex and the City, we decided to continue the street tour as "Rooftop Bar Guiding" at your place! Just 10 minutes to conclude the city tour on the street, and then they went to eat. Thanks Paul, Hannah, and Ebo for your help beforehand, and we look forward to seeing you soon for another team outing! Lex and Tomas

I was really looking forward to this! What a beautiful view. What a beautiful place. But.... what a huge shame about the sleepy waitstaff who were very busy with everything except serving properly. Really, really, really a shame! Oh, and the food was really fine too! But pffffff

Nice spot for lunch, a quick coffee, or meeting friends. Lots of tables, spacious sofas, and the coffee is good.

Nice cocktails! Try the Amsterdam mule ;)

Paying for the toilet, always 1 star

Service was so Bad. They forget every piece of my Order. Hollandse Garnalen just small little pieces of nothing. If you order a Coke Zero you Need to ask more then one time for it and get a normal one. The Table was very dirty

Alba is the best bartender. Would come here every day just for her! ❤️‍🔥

The vegan ravioli is pure perfection 😍

The music was super loud, service was already busy hence the long wait time

Excellent food, varied, good quality and very friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere.

Nice place for drinks. Food is very average and overpriced

Disgusting service - I’ve ordered glass of beer, got different one and ask for what I’ve ordered… never get it til ordering again. Don’t expect much except of the view here

Last Saturday we went here for dinner on the recommendation of an acquaintance. The atmosphere was nice, and the view was especially fantastic. After waiting 45 minutes for our first drink... we received a very dirty glass with lipstick on it... I had to ask for my second drink three times... The food was okay, but we skipped dessert; we weren't impressed. It was busy, but I've seen a busier restaurant. Too bad, we won't be back.

Excellent, cozy atmosphere, and very friendly and welcoming staff. Fast, high-quality service. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to bring someone and make a good impression. It strikes a good balance between atmosphere, quality, and variety.

We stumbled upon this place for a family dinner and were delighted with our experience. The whole fish was delicious, the burger nothing special, but we were able to finish with an excellent crumble. Aside from the food, the atmosphere is very cozy. Finally, the staff's patience with our boisterous 16-month-old baby deserves special mention.

Nice delicious food an amazing unique view of Amsterdam from the 7tj floor located restaurant. Nice music!

The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the waitress was wearing a necklace with the state of Israel in red ( The service and atmosphere were great) You can have your own political opinions and to each his own. Just keep it out of the work place! Especially when you are serving other people who might be offended by it.

We went for lunch here, the food was amazing. There was only 2 people running the front side of the warehouse so they were obviously stretched. It was running a little slow but that's understandable. They were really nice though. The salmon and eggs was absolutely amazing and the burger was really nice too. Great views, and actually quite reasonably priced. About 45 EUR for 2 people including drinks.

Great value for money. Inspiring setting on the rooftop of the Volkshotel. Beautiful view!

We had a wonderful meal with a beautiful view and a lovely atmosphere. The guinea fowl was delicious, and the vegan lentil stew was also fantastic!

A view over Amsterdam, a DJ playing music on a bike, and delicious food. Even though the service made us wait a bit, the vegan bitterballen and sweet potato fries were very tasty.

I normally just come for drinks and it’s one of my favorite places. It’s good for a small group or a date (for a larger group you might need to get lucky to find a table). Everyone loves a rooftop with a view. Take someone here who has never been and they will be impressed. It has an outdoor terrace as well which is great to have the indoor/outdoor options. It can be quite loud, almost annoyingly where having a conversation is difficult. It also can be busy on weekends and I’m not always sure I will find a place when I show up but I usually do.

Nice place, but the DJ sucks. Everybody I spoke to was dancing because they want to dance, but not because they liked the DJ. Could benefit from changing him.

Nice bar at the highest floor of the building. Can be good for drinks and a snack.

Best atmosphere in Amsterdam. Said by a Biotech CEO

I love this place, especially in summer or whenever you can sit outside. It’s such a beautiful spot with an amazing view of the whole city of Amsterdam. PS: we got the coolest dj in town

Chef is really good, the serving staff got the drinks over wrong 3 times, and it was only su, mineral su and a wine ! Then they cleared plated before we had all finished. Food really healthy and good value for the location.

Great place, with a beautiful view. I tries the food once and it was good. Reccomanded to enjoy a drink on the terrace with friends, and stunning view

The food the view the staff !!!!

Absolutely, great view, in the evening very atmospheric point view

Great rooftop bar, the view is amazing from here. They have beer pitcher, cocktails and even tho I didn't try the main dishes they looked good. We spent the afternoon with a great sunset and chill music. They have DJ on Saturdays from 20:00

We had a lovely evening here at Canvas. We came in for cocktails and the place didn’t disappoint! Most of the cocktails were quite bitter, so we asked our lovely bartender Lotje to make us her version of a passion fruit martini and she made the most amazing sweet cocktail for us! Great service and friendly staff, as well as a nice view of the city!

Staff complaining for not being enough people and the bar is not even full. Didn’t let us in to have a couple beers even… While he was sitting on his phone in the corner next to the kitchen. The guy with a weird haircut.

The drinks and food were quite okay. We weren't asked how we wanted our steak cooked. The waitresses kept suddenly appearing next to us; it was very busy. The music was way too loud, so I sometimes couldn't understand them. The tables were also quite close together. Not recommended for highly sensitive people.

Nice place for drinks + snacks with a great view.

Good burger Relaxed atmosphere I really liked it

Nice vibes, atmosphere / view. Slow service, unfortunately

Absolutely loved the vibe. Its a restaurant/bar on a rooftop of a hotel. We went for dinner (that by the way was really tasty) and then drinks on the terrace. We tried to make a reservation but it was full, we decided to give it a try anyway and had no problem getting a table as soon as we got there, even though it was a Saturday evening. Great views, great place, great music. The only thing why I don’t give 5 starts is because the service was really slow (but the staff were kind).

One of the nicest location, on top of AMS :) AVG prices and good food and drinks! The after dinner sometimes’s nice 🪩

Strange people work there they are not customer friendly, opening hours do not match what they tell you. and they are racist do not go there, really a gay bar.

Great experience and delicious dishes. Delighted 🤩 thank you

In itself magical place with a view. But the information on rules well-intentioned information is too much after a while. Presumably in the combination of all the drinks that are not there. What they want to manage or control is not really hospitable. The hospitable customer is king principle was far to seek. That the dance floor is freed up, that the kitchen closes, that the cocktails have a final round. That the terrace closes that the la Chouffe is gone that.. gosh guys RELAX we pay enough just act normal.

You shouldn't go here for the food. Very mediocre. Lukewarm stew and tasteless salad with hardly any fennel. Service was fortunately very friendly and the view is great.

A great spot for drinks with a lovely view, but the food doesn’t offer good value for the price.

I was celebrating my birthday with a friend but it was not quite as expected. We were told that the kitchen were closing in 10 minutes and we were out in a hurry (at 21h40) I mean I understand that the kitchen close but why let table be reserved at 9h30 if you close the kitchen 10 min later ? We had to choose if we weee going to take dessert, we choose Somme ice cream instead we would be stil hungry… the waitress gave our plate without even take a look at us, just put everything on the edge of the table and leave. We ate and were told to rush + the ice cream just melted by the time it was dessert moment. We were asked to pay at the bar before finishing our meals, my friends was in the bathroom at this moment, so here I am, mouth full of food following this guy to pay at the bar for my birthday because he didn’t even wait the end of the diner or that my friend came back. After paying we couldn’t go back to our table and had to took our drinks somewhere else. I mean it was okay but so unprofessional from beginning to end. The place is nice but I won’t recommend it if you want to have a dinner of quality and enjoy a good moment without stress

Can reserve a table 20 mins before to be told its fully booked when you arrive.

Hidden spot, love the food and terrace. Terrace is first come-first serve, no booking available. I liked that place so much, that I spent my birthday there, they let me bring balloons, which is a very nice gesture :) staff is friendly.

Went Here with My parents & sister for a lunch at the rooftop, not too busy around 6-7 on a weekday, staff was extremely friendly, and attentive, yet young and funky. prices for the cocktails/drinks & food were also very accessible especially in regards to the location, and quality. Super nice view on the city, burger could have used a little bit of sauce, but in general a good, big filling portion! If you’re looking for something that feels very upscale but doesn’t require that price, volkshotel is definitely the way to go. Love this place, and very family friendly yet quirky and characterful!

If you require bookings, mention this on google too

The waitress was lovely and we took her food/drink recommendations on everything. Was exactly what we wanted. Delicious!

Great spot, super nice staff, everything went amazing.

I come to Amsterdam yearly, and whenever I visit I book at Volkshotel, since it has become my favourite accomodation. What I find baffling is how you can be treated as a hotel guest, depending on which employee you get (this can sometimes happen at the reception or bar downstairs as well). On the terrace you have to scan a QR code to order and pay. The problem is, that they only accept Dutch bank cards or iDeal, which obviously I didn't have as a person living abroad. So I got up and went to the bar to place my order and pay, telling at the counter that unfortunately I could not pay through their system. I did this twice and both times bartenders who were half my age were rude, gave me the eye roll and the feeling that I was disrupting their side conversations with their co-workers (it was not busy, there was nobody at the bar) and made me feel that they were accomodating my request to pay and order at the bar as an exception - I mean, I even got up and went to them, it wasn't anything major. As mentioned, this happened twice during my last visit, which left a sour taste on an otherwise overall amazing trip to my favourite hotel in my favourite city. I suggest you either adjust your online ordering system accepting international credit cards so guests won't "bother" your employees, or maybe hire people who love being in hospitality (as a bartender myself I would never treat people like that for no reason).

I have been here several times. Really nice. But lats time I came at 2am and they told me the bar was closed even through they close at 3am. The bar tender said the beer tap was clean and couldn’t serve anything else. Honestly disappointed. I come here cause is great but now you cannot trust if people want to work their full shift.

We wait one hour on the table without any attention. We had to go to other place.

Food, in this case the fish was tasty and tender. The service can be better. We were the only couple inside to eat. But no one came to take the order because they are busy bringing drinks outside because they work via QR code there, but not inside. So you have to contact someone yourself.

We were double charged, and they said they’d pay us back since they couldn’t issue a refund immediately. They took our details but never followed up. Absolutely unacceptable!

Stayed at the hotel on a business trip and went for breakfast at this restaurant. The breakfast is just depressing, limited and low quality food for the price.

very good steak, the shrimps are put in the "second courses" menu but being very small they can be defined as an appetizer! panoramic and suggestive place with good weather

Great view over Amsterdam. Worth it for that reason alone!

Super cool bar, great atmosphere and view of the city. The bartender with pink hair was lovely and made us delicious drinks!

Medium food (quite overpriced for what you get), poor service (we had to wait a long time to place our orders and even went to the bar twice to order) and plates were empty on the table for an extremely long time after the meal. The view is great.

I assume it gets busy during the weekdays because of the rooftop. In my experience don’t expect to get anything served within 40 minutes of getting there even if seemingly not busy :(((((

Service was cheerful but slow. This place is clearly affected by staff shortages.

Small menu with some unusual dishes. Nice, friendly service.

Upon arriving at the establishment, we were waiting for a long time to be seated to a table. Noticing other guests entering and seating themselves, we did the same after a while. We seated on a table but after waiting for 30 minutes without any acknowledgment or request to take our order, we decided to move to another table. Unfortunately, after another 30 minutes of waiting, a waitress finally approached us. However, her demeanor was rude and aggressive as she insisted that we move to yet another table, not allowing us the opportunity to speak or explain that we were there for 1h already

On March 29 at 18:30 we had a very unpleasant experience at Canvas. We were not helped for a long time and when an employee finally came, she became unfriendly and aggressive. She reacted defensively, interrupted us constantly and even shouted at us. This felt intimidating and unprofessional. It concerned an English-speaking lady with black, curly hair, approximately 1.65m tall. We hope that something will be done about this and would like to hear how this is handled.

The service was very slow and there were some confusions on the drink. The view is pretty great though.

Perfect! Lively, welcoming and cheerful atmosphere on a Saturday evening 👏

Very friendly and easy-going restaurant. One of the few places in Amsterdam that is still not (so much) spoiled by TikTok tourism. Good quality dishes.Value for money

Great view over Amsterdam. Food used to be good in the past, but is mediocre today.

Nice, cool place with a wonderful view. The service needs to be improved, but it's not a bad place for the price.

The perfect place for a nice drink. Beautiful view.

Este bar está a cinco minutos de la estación de Wibautstraat. Tiene un ambiente secreto al entrar por un ascensor a un bar de moda con escenas en la azotea de la zona. Tiene una multitud mixta de jóvenes y familias. Hay varios eventos disponibles para la música y el baile. El personal es amable, aunque el servicio puede ser poco frecuente a veces. Los cócteles son excepcionales y la comida es excelente. El lugar tiene un ambiente agradable y es agradable para cenar o de fiesta. Muy recomendable.

This bar is five minutes from Wibautstraat station. It has a secret vibe as you enter via a lift to a trendy bar with rooftop scenes of the area. It has a mixed crowd of young people and families. There are various events available for music and dancing. The staff are friendly though service can be infrequent at times. The cocktails are exceptional and the food is excellent. The place has a nice atmosphere and is enjoyable for dining or partying. Highly recommended.

Super tasty cocktails, amazing atmosphere and very nice place for a dinner or drink. Great location, pleasant service. Definitely recommend.

Would recommend to a friend. Really good at business and her job. CC disco I would come back

The burger tasted like it had been there a little longer. My dining companion and I ordered another cocktail at 10:25 p.m., but it was forgotten. I understand that it may have something to do with staff, but the transition from food to club is quite sudden and sudden. We were offered a glass "on the house", which was excellent

There was a heavy grill smell. The service was not very fast. The hamburger was good.

We didn't have food. (only Bitterballen and they were good) A nice and chill restaurant which turns into a cool bar with a DJ at night (I was there on a Saturday) + friendly staff + nice view

Pork belly and asparagus were really delicious. And very good in taste. Fantastic view!

Great employees & very kind bar staff (5/5), food gets a 3/5 and the atmosphere gets a good (not great, would say a 3,5 out of 5)

The only good thing was the food but as we stayed for the whole evening and celebrated a birthday, many negative points were scored. Paid toilet (after 22:0), seriously?? Unfriendly and unprofessional waiters: one broke the glass above my head; another served kombucha for one of our friends and told the other "it was a mistake, we don't serve kombucha" (?); the final move was when the girl brought a cappuchino to our table and to my request of another one said "we don't serve coffee anymore" (it was 22:20). Never sorry, never smiling, definitely understaffed and underpaid. The "dj" was just playing random tracks as if it were his Liked songs on Spotify. Tables got way closer to each other than 2-3 years ago here at Canvas. You cannot pass by without bothering people; it's super crowded and you don't hear your friends but the neighbors' tables. Overall max 2/5

I celebrated my birthday here and the view was absolutely fantastic!! tasty cocktails and lovely staff.

I celebrated my birthday here last weekend. The big advantage is the view, the drinks are tasty, you can dance there. The disadvantage is how busy it was, I had reserved a place for 25 people (very well in advance), but I had no idea that Canvas had actually taken the size of the group into account. There were even more groups in a very small space. That's the only thing I have to say about it :)

Thursday evening: enjoy a festive dinner with a great view from the seventh floor, lovely staff and a fantastic DJ

A surprising restaurant, informal without pretensions. Beautiful view over the city. In addition to the food, the music is also well thought out, provided by a DJ.

When I started painting the walls, my artistic freedom was interrupted and pushed outwards.

Cozy location, sat on the outer ring for drinks and that works very well for drinks. Service was fast, friendly and customer-oriented menu: they have a dining and drinks facility. If you come for drinks with a group, it is not possible to get a suitable drinks board for a group and you have to order individual items. that's a bit inconvenient when you have a drink.

Pretty surreal location. Great for drinks, but even better for a lunch or breakfast! Can get pretty busy in the evenings, but throughout the day stays mostly empty. Service is really chill, coffee is great, view speaks for itself, and prices are reasonable. Honestly can’t recommend enough
