Celia at Kimpton De Witt in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Friendly staff, good price to quality.

Its very closed right now. Please update your reservation site and google maps status to clarify this

I went there for brunch with my birthday girl and employee Rafael made our day. WHAT.A.STAR! Whoever employs this handsome (!) man has struck gold. The food was tasty too, by the way :-)

We’re staying at the Kimpton DeWitt hotel and our meals at Celia are included. We’re highly pleased with the food, especially the salmon, burrata and the cheesecake. The menu is limited which enables the chefs to perfect each dish. The breakfast/brunch selection is extensive and excellent. The staff are professional, friendly and efficient.

Did not know it was in a hotel as I booked it, so I am biased, since I do not prefer hotel restaurants, but decent food, very expensive alcohol

Quiet great service, however pretty plain menu and long wait for dishes. Me and my friend ordered antricote, mine should be medium rare, however they overdone it, and meat of my friend was like rubber.

Great if you're hungry without a reservation. The burger, wedge salad, and cocktails are just okay (no high-end spirits). A standard hotel restaurant—does the job, but nothing to brag about.

Unexpected very nice restaurant on a great location. Food was good, portion of the starter maybe a bit small, but all very tasty. Excellent services and good cocktails. Definitely recommend this restaurant

I have been meaning to dine here for a while and finally got the chance to do so. The Menu although bot quite extensive, is so well curated that every dish, drink and ingredient mixes and matches so well with one another that only a great team of chefs could've ordaned it. Servicr was absolutely top notch and so was the pleasant atmosphere of a classic fine dining restaurant. Highly recommend the fish taco. I will most definitely return, what a pleasant surprise.

Very good restaurant, nice food and atmosphere, and amazing service and very friendly staff! Definitely recommended

A lovely spot for brunch in the heart of Amsterdam, with a really nice atmosphere and bright, inviting decor. The dishes were good, well-presented, and quite generous, even if it wasn't necessarily the most "wow" brunch I've ever had. A minor drawback was the service: the wait between courses was rather long, which disrupted the flow of the brunch a bit. Despite this, we had a very enjoyable time thanks to the setting and the atmosphere. Wheelchair accessible

We ordered the burger and the salmon. Both dishes exceeded our expectations! Our server was Fernanda, she was very friendly. Enjoyable meal!

Amazing location, great room, lovely hotel, will definitely be back

We had breakfast here (booked together with the hotel stay) and a late brunch. The food was freshly prepared and very delicious. The service overall was attentive and friendly, but we had one episode during brunch which was quite confusing. I ordered a chicken sandwich, and it comes with fries as stated on the menu (not add-on for extra cost, but listed underneath the item with other ingredients). When our food arrived, the fries were missing. The waitress eventually got them after my inquiry, admitting that I was correct and it’s included. The fries were actually very tasty, served with little jars (unopened) of ketchup and mayonnaise. Then confusion arose when we were paying—the waiter announced the total and (a bit condescendingly) told us that “the fries are on the house”. Like, what…?? We didn’t bother to argue and just let it slide. But there’s some communication issue from management to frontline staff or at least not everyone was brought to the same page. Something to pay attention to in future trainings.

Incredible food and a solid drink list. They nailed the California vibe, so much so that between the atmosphere and the standard 'upscale American' songs playlist, I actually forgot I was in the Netherlands for a second. 😆 If you’re looking for a slice of the States in Amsterdam, this is kinda it.

Restaurant with a great atmosphere, excellent service and good value for money!!!

Everything was so good. The venue was big and with nice deco. When we get in the staff was soo soo soo friendly and helpful as I thought I was in a hotel ;). We have space to store our luggage and our coat. Menu was good and food was good. Everything was so good I can’t complain anything. Right in the center, very easy to access. Oh! But the juice was just canned juice, I thought it was fresh one but no! That’s the only point I didn’t like but in general everything was good.

We ordered the Bavette and the risotto. Bavetye was absolutely divine, cooked to perfection. A side of fries was also very good, perfectly salty and crunchy. Risotto was very good too. Delicate rice not too intense. The servers and the manager on site were a delight. Cozy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. We got complimentary saint german coctails which were also surprisingly very tasty

We dined at Restaurant Celia and were very pleasantly surprised. Especially considering our deal through The Fork, the price-quality ratio was excellent. The restaurant has a beautiful interior with a warm, stylish atmosphere that immediately creates a pleasant impression. The dishes were delicious and well-seasoned. The service was also excellent: friendly, attentive, and professional without being intrusive. They also have a nice selection of wines that perfectly complement the food. All in all, we had a wonderful evening with good food, great wine, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Our server Joey was the best, the food was amazing and me and my friends haven’t had that much fun in a while! Thank you for the amazing service! We will be coming back

So glad we booked here! The food was incredible, the Caesar Salad starter was one of the best salads I've eaten in years. You can tell a lot of passion has gone into this restaurant. The lady who served us (I think it was Francesca?) Was able to instantly let me know all the gluten free options when I asked. She was also very attentive throughout the entire meal. At the end of the meal as we were leaving, the gentleman who saw & seated us, upon hearing us saying we're going for cocktails next, also recommend various places to go for cocktails as well. Would highly recommend, and will return when we come to Amsterdam next time!

Celia at Kimpton De Witt in Amsterdam was a very pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and clearly well managed. You can feel there is structure in the kitchen with a chef and a proper team behind the scenes, which reflects in the overall execution. The burger I had was very good. The balance of the ingredients, the proportions, and the blend worked nicely together. It felt thoughtfully assembled rather than rushed. The mushroom taco was decent as well, not extraordinary but enjoyable. What stood out most for me was the overall vibe of the place. It feels clean, organized, and professionally run. The setting inside the hotel adds a refined yet relaxed character to the experience. I left genuinely happy that I chose to dine here.

Excelent food and service! I went to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and they surprised him with a birthday song and cake! Special thanks to Diya, who made all this possible ❤️

Enjoyed Celia in Kimpton De Witt. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which. The chicken and tacos, recommend those . Nice spot overall, would come back.

The service was wonderful and the staff were very attentive. The music was initially far too loud (why do so many restaurants do this?), but they kindly turned it down when we asked. We also loved the decor — a fancy, luxurious vibe that makes the place feel special. With the Fork discount, the prices were very reasonable. The tartare and the bavette were excellent. However, the Caesar salad with chicken was an absolute disaster. Honestly, no chef should be comfortable serving this. It consisted of romanesco lettuce, dry chicken fillet, huge bland croutons, oversized rubbery flakes of parmesan (more like chewing gum), and a completely tasteless dressing. It was genuinely unpleasant. This should never be called a Caesar salad and certainly should not be priced above €5 — at best it belongs on the menu as a simple side salad. But with some glasses of white wine I managed to eat half of it ;-)

Second worst meal I have EVER had in my life. Steak was inedible, service was abysmal (only had one staff member working everything - not his fault just why would you do this to him?) and not worth the money. Go elsewhere.

We had dinner here on Christmas Eve. What a lovely spot in Amsterdam. A beautiful restaurant, and everyone was so kind. The food was delicious. The Christmas menu was fantastic! Compliments to the chef and the service.

Excellent place. Pleasant atmosphere, attentive service, tasty dishes, and reasonable prices.

Excellent food, good value for money, great location. Always a pleasure.

Decent breakfast spread, we did the buffet. Mr Rafael provided the most amazing service. He’s a great guy who shared information and recommendations on Amsterdam. He was sharing some experiences to encourage us to bring our pooches next time in Amsterdam, and suggested some good places to visit during the Jan 1 holiday.

Efe was great I love the comforting servise he gave. The food was delicious and we had no wait at all. Thank you so much!

Fantastic breakfast experience, as usual. We stay at the Kimpton DeWitt every time we come to Amsterdam, and every time is wonderful. The staff at Celia are fantastic, especially Hugh and Rafael. All of the staff make us feel like we are coming home. Excellent service and spirit.

Pretense and there plastic smiles is there number one priority but sincerely speaking they not happy at all I don't really know if they r paid promptly well

The food was excellent. Everything was very good. However, the portions were a little small for the main courses.

We had a wonderful dinner, especially the fish dishes, which were of high quality. The price was a bit high, though; we were a bit taken aback by the menu, especially since the portions weren't very large.

Nice place. Good food. Ribeye with mushrooms is delicious.

The food is very average and doesn't cater to our tastes as Arabs. And the prices are very high.

Very good service , atmosphere and interior are nice, the sea bass, carrots are very tasty

The food was good, but rather expensive for what you got. You have to order vegetables and fries separately. You expect them to be plentiful, but what you received was a minimal portion of fries. They ask if you want water with it before you've even looked at the menu. If you say yes, that's fine, you don't expect a €6.50 bottle to be brought to the table, while tap water in the Netherlands costs next to nothing and tastes the same. You don't expect that price if you've also ordered expensive wine. If you only order a main course and a dessert, you'll have just about enough. If you're a bigger eater, you won't have enough. The staff was friendly but only spoke English. I understand that's normal in Amsterdam, but if they ask your preferred language when making a reservation, I expect someone who speaks Dutch. Considering the price and the restaurant's decor, you expect a little more. The restaurant has a lot of potential, but there's still room for improvement.

We received a very warm welcome at Celia. We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and were even offered a glass of champagne! All the servers were smiling and friendly. The food was delicious! From the appetizers to the dessert, we loved it! A real gem. Thank you for helping us have such a wonderful anniversary evening! 🩷

Thank you for the wonderful dinner we had at your restaurant. I am very happy that I choose this good place to have a marvelous evening with my guest. Delicious food, a good variety of choices, nice wines and wonderful , friendly and smiling service .Thank you kitchen and service team . Long live the Taco Tuesday

Just had dinner here tonight and what an incredible choice. Ambiance, service, welcome and food all above and beyond what I was expecting. 100 out or 100. Chilled brilliance ! Thanks You !

Excellent place for dinner. We went on a Tuesday and they had a special taco menu. The beer was very good and the atmosphere was perfect for the place. The prices were reasonable; I didn't find it expensive. I've attached a photo of the menu. The food came out of the kitchen quickly; there was no long wait. I would definitely eat here again on my next trip.

I stayed at the hotel for a week, and overall, it was a good experience. The staff is few but respectful and friendly. Unfortunately, the breakfast was not very diverse, but the chef is excellent and deserves appreciation for the quality of the dishes. I would also like to special thanks to Rafael and the team for their service.

Coffee - bad, food horrid! For a place that used to have decent fair, it is a disaster now.

Very invited atmosphere and staff. From hostess to Server. Very flavorful and fresh food. Not overpriced.

Very sweet people. Decent food, usually. Service was slow and tone deaf. I ate here for dinner and breakfast. For dinner the risotto dish was decent. For breakfast the omelette to order (an additional charge) was a mess (bad taste and presentation). Service was more slow and confused than most places in Amsterdam.

Stayed at Kimpton and had dinner at Celia. The grilled squid and double roast chicken were both delicious!

My friend and I visited Celia for Taco Tuesday and it was amazing! Big thanks to our hostess and server Lulu for making space for us despite the busy evening. We LOVED it!!

Tbh it was very good food, and liked the atmosphere.Would recommend the calamari and the short ribs Would be nice to add some virgin cocktails to the drink menu

Calamari was honestly the best I've ever had in the Netherlands! I found the carne asada taco a bit bland. The meat was well-seasoned, but it lacked a sauce and some vegetables on the side. The service was very good and attentive!

The food is delivered cold and, unfortunately, it has no flavour. One of the plates was broken on the top corner

Great food, excellent service. Staff were very attentive

📍Located in the city center of Amsterdam. Hidden in hotel Witt ground floor! 🪑design of the restaurant was nice. Nicely decorated. Ambiance was a bit different - hotel lobby mixed with restaurant vibes. 🛎️ Service was good - very friendly waiter and they take really good care of allergies!! 📋The menu did not have many options but we found something! 💰It is not pricy but we got a deal by reservation via TheFork 50% off in the food. So our total bill was only €37,50. 2 glasses of wine and 3 Starters. But the the starters were so big that we did not need a main anymore. 🍽️ I loved the calamari! They were fresh and perfectly balanced in terms of cooking and flavour. 🅿️ Difficult as it is city center Amsterdam. A lot of tram stations in front. 🚽Toilet was very clean with nice hand soap!

A nice place. The staff is friendly, though it was a bit annoying I was asked about 7 times if I wanted water. Probably because there's different staff tending each table. It's a good training in saying 'no' if you don't want to buy expensive water. There's very few vegetarian options, unfortunately. I had the mushroom taco's which the menu said would come with guacamole. It didn't. The waiter apologized and said it was a mistake that it wasn't taken off the menu (it used to have it on there). I didn't get guacamole, not even the question if I wanted it on there still. We did also order the nachos which came with a delicious guacamole and boring salsa. That made me regret not being more assertive and asking for the guacamole on my taco's. They were pretty boring tasting, the mushrooms were tough and stringy and guacamole would have improved the dish greatly. My friend enjoyed her fish dish and we shared a chocolate mousse for dessert that was very delicious.

I'm very disappointed and can't recommend it to anyone. The friendliness of the staff was positive, but we were warned when ordering that there would be a long wait. For starters, we had nachos. Unfortunately, they were rock hard and almost impossible to chew. The sauces were okay. For main courses, we had cheeseburgers and fish tacos. The tacos in the fish tacos were similarly hard and almost tore my girlfriend's gums open when she chewed them. The quality of the burger meat was okay, but unfortunately, one burger arrived medium rather than well-done. Only after consulting the manager was the burger exchanged. The fries waited lonely under the warming light for quite some time after the burgers were delivered. The waitress went to another table to take the payment. Eventually, the fries arrived, but only 3 portions instead of 4. Only after asking was a fourth portion brought. The burgers were extremely dry, with very little sauce, and the bun was rock hard. We were told that this is how it has to be. The hefty price of €23 doesn't represent a reasonable price-performance ratio. Quite the opposite. The ambiance is fine, but we were sitting in a very cold draft under the air conditioning. That wasn't pleasant. All in all... I can't really recommend the food or the service, and I can't confirm the many positive reviews.

Value for money: poor. Burger with a dry bun, no sauce at all, so it was completely dry, and instead of well-done, the patty was medium-rare. And for 20 euros. Service: Part of the food is served, and instead of bringing the rest that's already on the counter, an order is taken at leisure somewhere else. A portion of fries wasn't missing, but we had to point it out. Ambience: urban style. Nicely done. But the air conditioning was set much too cold. Too bad.

Taco Tuesday @Celia… or rather, Dry Tuesday. 🌮 Pulpo → lukewarm. Taco → dry. Crackling pork → no crackling. Sea bream → flavorless. Fortunately, the service was excellent (but I wasn't there to eat the waiter). Extensive review on Tripadvisor A real treat xx

It smells amazing in there 💗 It also looks fantastic and the food is delicious! Your dog is welcome, which is perfect for us! It's a great place, definitely recommended.

Came for breakfast during our stay at the Kimpton. Hugh helped us and was incredible! He was friendly, funny, and so kind. The foos was delicious I had an omelette with a beautiful side salad. The ambiance is nice too, lots of yellow decor. Would recommend!

Great for breakfast food/brunch, we also enjoyed a lovely dinner here, service is excellent. Hugh is the best!!

Nice restaurant. Great food at a good price. Excellent service, but the staff only speaks English.

We hosted our post-wedding brunch at Celia for 55 (mostly) international guests and couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out the weekend. The food was delicious, the bottomless drinks flowed, and the entire team was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive from start to finish. Our guests had such a great time and we received so many compliments on the atmosphere and service. Special thanks to Lieke for making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Celia was the perfect choice — highly recommend for any special gathering in Amsterdam!

Two to three months ago, we made a reservation for a bottomless brunch, specifically to celebrate a birthday in our group. Without any notice or call, the reservation was suddenly cancelled just two days before the scheduled date. We had to reach out to them ourselves to ask why it was cancelled. They told us that no bottomless brunches were being held in July. Strange, considering it was possible to book one for that month through their system. If they had known this in advance, they should have informed us much earlier. Very poor service.

Chef must have ran out of salt because none of the dishes had any, Chicken tastes like Costco chicken except drier. My steak was so tough I couldn’t cut it with steak knife. I don’t know where they get their meat but the steak had no flavor. Blend blend. And not salting it make it worse. The only thing we liked is calamari but even that was fried until dry. At one point, I got so angry and wanted to leave. What a waste of time, money and calories.

The Restaurant is an “American” restaurant. But what’s American food? And the restaurant is nice inside but they neighborhood doesn’t invite you to eat anything there. It’s like a nice restaurant in Times Square NY. You don’t wanna sit there.

Celia in Amsterdam is a fantastic spot for a stylish and flavorful night out. We started with a delicious burrata with fingered carrots, followed by a perfectly cooked Flatiron steak. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The interior is modern and elegant, making the atmosphere feel both chic and inviting. Service was friendly and efficient, and the timing between courses was just right. Prices vary depending on your choice, but the overall quality makes it well worth it. Highly recommended!

Best sea bass I have ever had. Gorgeous atmosphere, kind staff, incredible food.

The food is really good, I’ve enjoyed every dish a lot. Nice combination of ingredients and flavors. However the service is a mess. We had 3 different waiters taking care of our table and they are unable to communicate properly between each other. 1) They forgot to bring our drinks 2) They ask if we wanted to check the desserts when we didn’t even had our main course served yet 3) They forgot us when we finished our main and actually wanted to check the dessert menu (30min wait) 4) They took 40min to serve our dessert (a piece of almond tarte with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, really nothing that would require 40min in the kitchen) All staff members were nice and friendly but they should seriously rework their organization. It’s really frustrating when you are waiting to be served and see the staff laughing and sharing their life with other tables. I’ve nothing against a small wait, I’m French, I’m used to long dinner, but not a 1h10 gap between a main and a dessert.

The fish was delicious, the sweet potato as well, the kimchi potato millefeuille was also incredible but the cauliflower was too chunky, hard to eat. The calamari and the ceviche were the highlight starter-wise. The location of this restaurant is awesome and the service was fine as well! Well come back for sure. -1 for the burger and fries which could be revisited. The burger was hard to chew even if the meat was medium rare and the fries were not cooked enough so very soft. I would suggest to divide the patty in half and to make it a double cheese burger with smaller patties.

Very nice interior! Entrance is a bit of a search because it is not very clearly indicated. We only had the table next to the computer where they place orders so there were a lot of staff walking by. Also there is only English speaking staff. Food was good! Cocktails and wine on the pricey side unfortunately.. food on the other hand average price but there is not a lot of choice. The calamari was very tasty.

Really great food and atmosphere

Noisy restaurant. Service needs improvement; we received our starters at the same time as our appetizers. The main course was delivered without the wine, which we received much later. The dishes weren't exceptional either. The restaurant is overrated!

Highly recommended. One of the best dinners in a long time: super fresh calamari, perfect salmon and sublime desserts. A pearl in Amsterdam, discovered by chance

We had breakfast al la carte this morning and it was a lovely experience. Anna was a prompt, friendly waitress and the food was wonderful.

Delicious food, great service. Cosy atmosphere.

Thank you for making this evening special and for inviting us for a drink to celebrate our engagement. We will definitely come back on our next trip. You are special to us now. The food was amazing, so was the service!

The food taste was good, but the burger was very dry and they didn't have much choice. Service was good, but I think the prices less than 26 euros for a dry burger are crazy. Atmosphere: nicely decorated but had the idea that it was wanna be chic.

Lovely staff Great food Cozy place

What a top restaurant with delicious culinary food. It's been a long time since we had such a delicious meal and enjoyed a beautiful atmosphere and super good service. We have a favorite restaurant!

Went with my wife for a romantic diner to Celia. We used the entrance around the corner NZ Voorburgwal 5 and from start we felt if we where on a foreign vacation trip. The atmosphere felt superb We had a very warm welcome, and a good table. The menu included some very special dishes like Burata with carrots, Shortrib and a wonderful grilled cauliflower with feta All with a nice glas of wine The service was great, and we enjoyed talking, eating, drinking. Time was not exciting. We surely will visit again

Really nice food and drinks. The atmosphere is pretty nice as well. Def would recommend.

Elegant place and excellent food, an excellent reality in Amsterdam, I recommend the very good grilled sea bass and the potato pavé, friendly and good service, the only flaw is a little slow on the service but on a Saturday evening it can also be done, we will definitely return!

A wonderful restaurant with a cozy vibe and super attentive, friendly staff. It's in the busiest part of the city, but once you step inside, it feels like you're in an oasis of peace and tranquility. I’d definitely recommend it to my friends and can’t wait to go back!

Always good! Eat here regularly! Super friendly service, especially Jasper!

.. my girl’s glass of mimosa cost €15!? Crazy robbery in broad daylight.

Outstanding breakfast buffet. The staff is warm and inviting, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is modern and fun. The star is the host, Hugh. He expertly curates the experience right from the moment you step inside.

Restaurant inside the Kimpton De Witt hotel with a modern and cozy design. The large windows facing the street add a sophisticated touch. They offer a variety of dishes as well as a set menu. All the dishes were delicious, especially the smoked mushroom taco. Highly recommended!

It’s okay. “With avocado” = half a slice of avocado. Understaffed but friendly waiters

Pleasant vibe & service. Friendly staff & space. Its a busy corner but you don’t feel that while consuming inside. And not noisy, which is a big plus. You can speak on a normal tone.

Welcoming service and tasty dishes, a little expensive all the same...

Menu is poor. Get half a glass of coke

Menu a bit poor but super nice place and good food

The food and atmosphere, exquisite. The service was very friendly and attentive💙, especially Sam who was on top of us the entire time. My family loved him

Wonderful menu, we ordered the festival with 5 dishes, light and delicious. Wonderful service, it's always good to find people who speak Portuguese. I would go back a thousand times and I highly recommend it!

We have ordered a cote de boeuf (steak) and we got an unprofessionally cut lump of meat of which nearly half was just fat. Had a hard time convincing the staff that that is not how you prepare and serve a large steak and ended up having to send back the steak to order something else at the end.

I’ve been at Celia with my partner 3 times (or more?) already, the last one was for Valentine’s. As always, staff is amazing, food and drinks are excellent! We even got a complimentary dish from the server, which was really lovely and unexpected. This time we especially enjoyed the sticky pudding. Softness of pudding, slightly bitter dark beer ice cream and lots of homemade caramel: a match made in heaven 🤤

Tasty brunch with nice atmosphere.

The food exceeded expectations! Also really cozy vibe. Went for my birthday:)

The experience at this restaurant was wonderful. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere enveloped us with its warmth and elegance. The food was simply delicious and truly special. The sauce on the fish was, without a doubt, the best we have ever tried—full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The meat was extremely tender, melting in our mouths, and the ceviche was excellent, with unmatched freshness and seasoning. Without a doubt, this is a place we will return to. The only improvement point would be the base of the cheesecake, not crispy enough for us.
