De Spiegel in De Weteringschans

Very nice little cafe. Feels cozy and has a relaxing vibe inside. The food is tasty and fresh. Between the 2 of us we shared an omelette and a pancake for breakfast.

the place itself is beautiful and cozy, and the atmosphere is really lovely. but my experience with the service was disappointing. i asked for a cup of hot water (not a refill), and the staff told me i had to pay the full price of tea — around 4€. that was already surprising, but what felt worse is that i could clearly hear the staff discussing me at the bar in a negative way because i asked for hot water. later, when i was taking photos of the interior (because i genuinely liked the place), i again heard another staff member talking about me to his colleagues while looking at me. i don’t mind people having a bad day, but being talked about loudly in front of the whole café felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. the atmosphere is amazing, but the service made me unsure if i’d return.

Decent food and friendly service in the heart of Amsterdam - we had the croquettes and bitteballen and were defeated by the chips. Quite expensive, especially the beer, but good atmosphere (poppy hits but a conversational volume) and some Dutch people in here as well as tourists!

The server had the tendency to pack people as close as possible, which made the experience somewhat uncomfortable.

We had breakfast before going to the Rijksmuseum – and we were absolutely delighted! The food was superb, the service very friendly and attentive, with great attention to detail. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the price was absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely be back!

small, unpretentious brasserie bar, warm welcome and very good savory pancakes.

I was really disappointed with my visit. I understand the challenges of running a busy café, but the staff’s attitude was unfriendly and dismissive, which made the experience uncomfortable. The atmosphere could have been nice, but the poor service ruined it for me. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

You have to queue, and it's crowded, so you can't really enjoy it, maybe outside the tourist season.

There was hair in my food and salt had been added to my cola. A very unfriendly waiter worked there (identifiable by the bald spot on his head).

We came in quietly for a drink. And the waiter immediately said: "Get out of here, I don't like your face." We won't be coming back.

We didn't order anything; we arrived with a drink we'd bought on the way there and sat down to order drinks for the rest of the group. The waiter asked us if we could put the drink away, which we did. Upon returning, he asked us if we could leave, which we did. Unfriendly service and definitely not recommended.

Super nice service, delicious and quick breakfast

good food despite the fries being a bit dry

Cutlery and dressings are thrown into plates with the food; it is a very crowded, shoulder-to-shoulder expensive tourist joint. But the waitress are nice and the sweets were tasty.

Food was good, service is lacking. Aside from the generally rude service, we asked to have a bill split and the server said it wasn't possible with a credit card, then just handed a bill and said cash here tell me what you want to pay. I never write negative reviews, but this was simple and could have been easily done as the restaurant was not busy.

Cozy place to have a bite to eat or a drink.

Great place for lunch. Super friendly staff. Reasonable price. We'd love to go again!

I thought the place was fine for a quick breakfast and some coffee before heading to the museum. The food was decent and it's a home style lile cafe. We went early so it wasn't busy and we sat inside. Sitting outside would've been great if it was warmer that day.

Very friendly server, fast service, very very good burger meat.

Very good establishment, quality food. Fast service. Friendly, smiling staff.

Always love to have a drink here from time to time. Staff is very friendly.

The bald waiter was extremely rude, would not come back

We really liked this place!!! The food is delicious and plentiful! It's close to the Rijksmuseum and the value is excellent. The waiters are 10/10! Very fast service even with the bar full. I'm not giving it more stars because there aren't any hahaha.

Excellent breakfast and a very nice location, recommended if you have morning tickets for one of the museums just across the canal. It's a shame about the price, which I think is a bit excessive.

Not impressed at all just very average and over priced

I was there spontaneously. The sandwich was delicious, although I expected a different bread. The food came quickly. The price/performance ratio was good. Not far from the Rijksmuseum.

Nice café, located on a canal/ a little away from the hustle and bustle/ you can enjoy yourself here/ attentive service

Had dinner with the family and loved this place. Great quality of food, fast and kind service, and beautiful location. The price is good for being in Amsterdam.

Charming and the food is very good

Amazing Goat Cheese Salad and service.

Fast service, good food, friendly staff, top location and also normal prices.

Terrible, terrible service. Simply asking if we could split the bill in 3. Was told No! Asked why. Simply told No! Asked to speak with manager to clarify. Manager was loud and aggressive. Saying that we don’t split bills in Amsterdam. I explained that I this was my third day in Amsterdam and it was the first time splitting a bill became a problem. Manager insisted “we don’t do this anywhere, no pub, no restaurant etc. When I asked him if he thought I was lying he said YES. (Couldn’t believe the rudeness!

Great spicy chicken salad. Great omelets and the chicken sandwich was also delicious. Highly recommend. Came here with my teens. It was a winner.

Sat in the outdoor area which was nice as it was a sunny day. There is also seating in the shade. Had a club sandwich and I was pleasantly surprised, the ham and bacon seemed like really good quality and the bread was nice and crispy. Quite a lot of sauce which was my only critique, but some people like that. Staff were nice enough although felt a bit rushed by one of them to pick something off the menu and order.

Lovely spicey chicken sandwich and great service

A typical Amsterdam bar that sells sweet and savory treats. Everything you order is delicious and good. Ideal for a delicious sandwich and pancake on the go to continue your excursion. A 10 for the guys who run the bar. Go for it!

great food, great atmosphere, the staff was really sweet and polite.

Excellent breakfasts, great and smiling staff. I really enjoyed coming back here morning after morning. Thank you very much

Very smiling welcome, cool terrace, relaxing moment

Honestly, I'm torn with this experience. The venue and location are fantastic. Unfortunately the service was less than acceptable. 1) My husband and I were told the table we requested was reserved, but another couple after us was being shown their table when they requested to change and they were seated at the other table that we had initially requested. 2) I ordered a beer that was apparently not available. Once the beer arrived, it was clearly not what I hoped for in flavor profile. When I question the substitution, I was given a very dismissive response. I informed the server that I had an alternative in kind of the beer I originally ordered was not available. In short, the beer I eventually got was DEFINITELY not what I ordered and it was clear that the server was annoyed that I sent the first beer back....now I was supposed to drink whatever he gave me. 🫤

Low quality food with rude service in a nice location where better options are available

very well run inn 10 stars for cleanliness!!!!!!!!!! well-kept beer! Unfortunately we were too late for dinner, what a shame! Coming straight to the mirror soon

TB… Welcomed around 3 p.m. for 8 people Lots of no waiting and pleasant service. :)

The dishes were good but the prices were a little high. Big downside: we border on a forced sale. When after being seated, we are forced to have drinks with our meals. Otherwise it is forbidden to eat on the terrace.

Very cozy Lunch cafe with nice and friendly staff 👍

Fast service, great food. Orange juice was refreshing early in morning. I've got bacon and cheese omelette and bitterballen afterwards, everything was great.

Very nice place. Very friendly staff. Fast service. We just had drinks but very good experience. Neat interior and exterior decoration.

Great place to sit in the sun have a beer or cocktail eat some fries and bitterballen people watch.

Terrible place. The most impolite service ever. I definitely recommend AVOIDING this place

Excellent Classic Burger with Fried Egg, on a sunny terrace by the canal ✌🏾

Croquettes and nothing else. And the atmosphere, of course, very Amsterdam. Nice terrace. Near Rijksmuseum.

Fast service, very good quality of food and delicious pornstar martinis. You won't find anything better in terms of price quality around Leidseplein.

Friendly staff and fantastic views. Good clientele good small bites options

I had breakfast... And all is well! Very friendly

Drinks and atmosphere were fine, but service was horrible. We were thrown out as soon as I took my last sip.

Tolles uriges Restaurant mitten in der Stadt mit gutem Essen, netter Bedienung und einem tollen Ambiete. Auch die Preise sind angemessen.

All the staff is really nice, the food was great and the restaurant is very clean and cozy. I totally recommend it 10/10

Very cozy place. Good food! A lot of good food for the money

Lunch on January 1st, great atmosphere and very friendly service. Good warm food that warms the heart just right!

Storied, family owned with simple delicious food, good and welcoming service and solid beer selection. Classic bar interior.

Very warm welcome, very friendly service with a smile.

WOW very friendly and helpful staff tasty food not too expensive very beautiful interior must visit place

Good food and friendly service!

Lovely food, delicious beer, smiley servers and overall nice atmosphere

All our food was excellent 👌. Great service and a great atmosphere, a little cramp but worth it .

A very cozy place, with very good service and excellent quality-quantity-price lunches.

We had a delicious lunch here. Tasty and cozy. Definitely recommended!

Une adresse discrète mais à recommander. Un service parfait, rapide et une omelette excellente. Parfait pour commencer la journée.

Went for brunch Friendly staff, and my omelette was very light, just how I like it.

Cafe with cheap quality food. Prepared and served quickly. The waiters are friendly. Central location, many tourists. Cafe for once.

Excellent spicy chicken sandwich with salad. Does anyone know what type of bread they use?

Very good café. Service was fast. Food was tasty. Lovely setting. Staff were friendly. Would recommend the bitterballen.

Close to the museum district, with good food and very fast service.

Terrible service, too expensive, I did the same at home, it's better!! 👎

We like this type of establishment with character far from the beaten track.

Tasty burger and friendly service

Amazing place to eat. It is located very close to the museum area. The service and attention were 10/10

Muy amables, muy buena comida, el chocolate es delicioso, muy buena atención, no es tan caro y preparan todo super rápido, recomiendo un montón el sándwich de atún, y el impeler de tocino y queso

Delicious breakfast, great location, super nice staff!

Fast friendly service. Good beer. Nice atmosphere inside and out.

De Spiegel is a great little restaurant, friendly staff, good food and a great location/setting! We loved it the first time we ate there, 3 years ago, we loved it this time! A must-go-to when in Amsterdam!!

Super friendly service! Great location.. great Coffee 😍

Great tea, very good and kind service. Good location ☺️

Nice spontaneous employees, tasty sandwiches and delicious club sandwich 👍

A quick lunch with tasty dishes: pancakes, hamburgers and eggs. Pleasant and simple environment

Neither good nor bad, no vegetable milk option

The service is excellent, the interior decoration is place-oriented, spectacular!

Well...we didn't really feel welcome. Drinking alone, that was okay. That's why still 3 stars.

Family-friendly, good atmosphere, super friendly and very well located. If I come back to Amsterdam, I would stop here again to eat!! 100% recommended

The club sandwich was very big and good. Nice atmosphere as well

I tried to go inside to ask the waiter if I could use the toilet since there were no public toilets, he stopped me at the stairs and asked what I wanted. I needed to ask in front of all the terraces if I could use the toilet. He told me to go to McDonald's. Rude.

Delicious food. We went for the club sandwich. Highly recommended

It seems expensive at first, like many other restaurants in Amsterdam, but you do get plenty of food for the price and it all tasted great! Good value if you're hungry and want something delicious near the Rijk

Awesome place, tasty pancakes, great stuff and view on canals and city. Really rapid service, Heineken is fast as lighting on your table 😂

Decent food, good service, awesome interior and great outdoor seating. Would go back!

Excellent breakfast near the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum museums. Italian coffee and cappuccino.👍

Excellent sandwiches, prices are reasonable, the service was quick and pleasant even though the area is rather touristy.

Great hospitality, service and food ! Best we found in Amsterdam so far.

A sweet place we discovered while wandering the streets of Amsterdam.

An absolute highlight for those who first want breakfast and then go to the Rijksmuseum. Great food and fast friendly service.
