De Staalmeesters B.V. in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Good service and location and so on quality of beers

Friendly but very professional service, nice spot, I would love to come back

We ordered ice coffee, waffels and a daily soup, and steak. Icecoffee tasted like coffee machine cleaning liquid. Soup and steak orders didnt recive at all. Waffels tasted ok. Service was totally random, more like your own concern. Atleast view to the canal was good.

Great burgers. Service was careless but polite.

Excellent experience, I highly recommend it. Super friendly staff, top-notch food, and great value for money.

It's a very nice place by the canal. We sat down to have some beer; it was a bit expensive, but the atmosphere was pleasant.

Nice place next to the canal Very good service here

Had a walk-in lunch here with my family during a sunny day, they accomodated us shortly inside. The food seemed a bit pricey at around €20 per meal (typical of Amsterdam though) and I was afraid it would be bland, overpriced bar food (having worked at a bar before) but it was all really tasty and well plated! We ordered around 4 different meals and they were all a hit. Compliments to the chef! The only miss for me was the chips/nachos, they were a bit overpriced (~€11) for what they were. The staff were all very kind, one of them even explained the meaning behind the bar's name! The restaurant itself was also very nicely decorated, if you care about that. Would definitely be back again :) thanks!

Philly cheese steak on bread, this was really delicious!!! I highly recommend this.

Very nice bar and cafe. The staff was amazing. We just sat there next to the canal to have some drinks and it was amazing. They have good dutch beers and they also make great aperol spritz

Delicious! Nachos and rosé. And had a chicken burger! We were half an hour early, but luckily we were still able to get a seat. Very friendly staff.

Amazing food amazing service amazing people

Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is very friendly; we returned daily during our visit to Amsterdam.

€6.50 for a shot of salmari, that's really something.

The best bar, the best brasilian barman in Netherland

Chef Leo had the best burger we’ve ever had! The restaurant had the sweetest staff and such a chill vibe. Would come back and recommend to any friends coming to visit

Incredible burger- tasted fresh and chef Leo was very knowledgeable. Will be coming back regularly

excellent, attentive service. leo in the kitchen made all the food and everything was fresh and delicious. highly recommend the burger, omelette and club sandwich. really nice, chill place to eat and hang out.

Nice if you're really in a hurry for a beer

Amazing service from Thomas who me and my girlfriend have a lovely chat with! Food was very tasty with generous portion sizes at a reasonable price.

The coffee was served in glass cups instead of proper coffee cups. We politely asked the bartender if they could replace the glass with a regular coffee cup. The owner was sitting at the bar and reacted very rudely, almost aggressively, trying to justify the way the drink was served. We simply asked for a replacement, but they told us we would need to pay again for the coffee. Since it’s a tourist area, we paid and left the place feeling very disappointed. The customer service and overall quality were among the worst I have ever experienced. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone looking to spend money and enjoy good service.

It was perfect. The cocktails were good, the beer was good, and the waiters were so friendly and a dream. Raphael is the best.

The chicken satay was delicious, the seating was a bit disappointing, but the staff made up for it, especially the friendly young man who was the waiter; we had a great laugh. A really fun gay bar.

I had lunch at this restaurant in January, two of us. The place is small but very nice, and the staff is kind and helpful. The selection of sandwiches, burgers, and soup of the day was very good; the food prices were average, but I found the beers very expensive (€4 for a 25cl Heineken).

Found this little gem on New Year’s Night 2026. Great beer, fish and chips and Chicken Satay. Cute waiters too!

tasty snack and nice atmosphere

Chill atmosphere, great vibe from the staff 👌🏻 The food is good, what more could you ask for 🫡

Had the avocado toast. Very tasty !

Peaceful, beautiful, comfortable, good treatment from everyone 🫰🏼

Fab spot for a drink, friendly staff and decent fries too!

Pleasant canalside cafe with excellent cocktails and good food. There are very few tables on the terrace, located on the sidewalk, close to passersby and cars.

Pablo is an absolute gem! 💪 A man full of passion, professionalism, and positive energy. He does a fantastic job at this restaurant—always smiling, manages everything perfectly, and it's clear he truly knows what he's doing. A classy guy, with a heart for people, and a tremendous talent for his work. The best at what he does—without a doubt! 🔥

I recommend it to enjoy a Dutch experience.

Best tuna melt I've ever had 🧡💚

Great service, great location. Perfect for a Saturday night beers. Tons of couples. It suits a date as well

I can't say anything about the food. But the service was very poor, and unfortunately, the beer wasn't tasty either.

we were really happy havin tea, café and apple ciders there! stayed for quiete a long time and enjoyed the atmosphere :)

La chouffe was not right.... After pointing it out they continued to gaslight us into believing otherwise. Besides that assumed that we are tourists and don't know how it tastes. Never coming back.

It's a nice place to enjoy yourself by the canal, the waiters were very friendly

The Bier was warm and the Table was also unwashed..dirt but the Ambiente was good

Excellent food and friendly staff who are available to make any changes to the dish to suit your dietary needs. They speak very good English.

A nice spot to sit and people-watch in a very touristy part of Amsterdam. We had an IJwitje, but found the taste different from what we're used to. It was less than stellar and a bit strange. The staff was friendly.

They didn't want to to give us tap water even though we paid 4 cocktails for 4 persons .. the cocktails weren't even worth. They charged us 20 euros for the water and 14 euros per cocktail. It was way too expensive !!

I sat down to have a coffee alone. I ended up eating there with my friends. The waiter was very pleasant, very good. I recommend it!

i was here just one evening with friends and it so good! the barman is really kind, always smily. we felt very welcomed 😉

Great place for brunch, very tasty food, friendly and welcoming staff, great ambiance. Recommended for a visit

Wish we had more time here as it was fabulous, staff were friendly and the food and drink amazing. Unfortunately we had tours to get to so couldn’t spend as long as we would like to here.

Excellent location, food presentation, service, temperature, seasoning. Everything was excellent. I liked it so much I came back, and the best part is that I met a Brazilian who works at this restaurant.

Don't know about the food, but we went there in the evening for cocktails and the "pornstar passion fruit martini" (or smth like that) is to die for! One of the best cocktails I ever had! The waiters are super friendly and quick.

Fantastic cozy place for a beer, we didn't try the food. But nice service at the bar and a place to sit down informally and have a cold one.

Nice service, delicious food. What more could you want?

Nice place, but I wouldn't go there if I have celiac disease or a gluten allergy.

If you’re looking for a place to chill in Amsterdam that has everything you need for great beer, a great view, and a great atmosphere without having to add anything extra, De Staalmeesters B.V. is a cozy cafe-bar on a canal in a classic part of the city. Located on the quiet but beautiful Kloveniersburgwal street, it has an outdoor terrace overlooking the canal, with a backdrop of charming old Dutch buildings that will make you want to stop and stare for a long time. The beer here is the highlight, with a menu of both draft and bottled beers from famous local breweries such as Brouwerij ’t IJ, Oedipus, and Affligem, as well as refreshing fruit beers like Fruitesse from Liefmans for a lighter drink, or a fizzy IPA, wheat beer, or a hefty Tripel. The waiters are ready to recommend beers to suit your mood each day. This is a place that beer lovers shouldn’t miss. De Staalmeesters’ food is no less than that, with a variety of savory and sweet dishes, Dutch breakfasts, sandwiches, croissants, steaks, salads, and tapas to share with friends. Vegetarians and vegans also have plenty of options. The service is friendly and unhurried. Perfect for sitting around and forgetting the time. On a nice day, you can see people lining the terrace, sipping beers, watching the boats slowly pass by, and laughter from the tables next to them. Some people even say that this is the real Amsterdam life. The shop opens from morning until night, so you can spend time here either in the warm daytime or in the evening without any hesitation. Overall, De Staalmeesters is a place where you can experience Amsterdam through tastes, smells, and atmosphere in 360 degrees. It is a place that anyone who visits wants to come back for more, and for me, I would give it a 9 out of 10 without hesitation.

Good food. The first guy took our order and did not put it in the system so we waited a very long time for food. The other employee gave us a free Heineken for the inconvenience. Cool location.

Food is above the simple look of the place

Went to Bar as first time in the place was told not in the kindest of manner that have to wait for them to come to the table, I apologised and waited at the table. But after 30 mins of being ignored/no service and ppl coming in after and getting served first we left. Negative experience, cafe’s around much kinder and better hospitality than this place.

Another found gem in the canals of Amsterdam. The food was very good, and the service was as good. A lovely little bistro where you can sit and people watch. A definite 👍

Spectacular cheese fondue. Excellent service.

Great!! I loved the vibe and the service was wonderful!

This place is incredible! We stayed at a hostel down the street and deemed this “our spot.” The staff was hilarious and incredibly friendly! We loved our drinks and desserts! Shout out to Walter and Pablo!!

It was a great Sundayevening! Lou and Rebecca really made our experience so much better. Such a nice place to get a drink and great atmosphere!

Comida muy deliciosa. Servicio rápido. Ubicación conveniente. Amables empleados. Nos detuvimos en un capricho y disfrutamos de nuestra comida aquí mucho!

A hidden gem lovely food and atmosphere great tunes Perfect place for a chill

Got cold coffee, burger was dirty and I left half of it. Never come back here again 👎

Honestly the best bar I’ve ever been to in Amsterdam. Staff was very friendly and the drinks were great.

Good atmosphere good food the ribs nachos and chicken tacos brutal and very cozy place quiet well located the staff very friendly and fast

Didn’t try any food but nice relaxing place to have a beer and chat.

For me, a great place for a beer with good music 👌🏻 Belgian beer, delicious 😋 I recommend this place 🙂

Walter the cook is serving great food and great vibes!

The beer doesn't taste good and the place smells like a toilet. Never again!

We walked in here by chance because the car was parked here in the street. Very friendly and hospitable staff. Philly Cheesesteak is highly recommended!

Nice little bar, quite expensive was €10 for a beer.

Encantador barcito acogedor, no teníamos comida aquí solo bebidas, pero nos encantó el ambiente y el ambiente relajado de este bar. Mark el barman era tan encantador y amable y me hizo un exuberante chocolate caliente, ya que no tenía ganas de beber una noche. Lugar encantador! ❤️

Nice place to have a drink and watch what goes by

Friendly staff, both the waiters and the kitchen. The crunchy and delicious bruchettas and the fondue with very good vegetables, as well as the cheeses to snack on. Good experience, to recommend if you want to have a good time.

We came on December 27 in the middle of the afternoon, after lunch. A young bartender served us a whiskey and a kahlua, then a second round. He was very kind, funny, with a good spirit, we had a pleasant time. It was cold outside, we had to take it but we warmed our hearts with his kindness. THANKS.

Nice cafe with good food and ambiance

Cappuccino 1/10 Service 2/10 The aged Guy was rude

Boxing day, drinks and snacks ordered. Little choice of beer on tap, large snacks €29, but consisted of the cheapest fried snacks from Aldi, nothing fresh, the fat was old, the bitterballen were simply unappetizing. Friendly young man helped us but did not understand the questions in Dutch. Quickly leave after the drink. A little further on we knew a grand café with quality.

We drank coffee and latte macchiato. The toilets were plain and not entirely clean. Staff was friendly.

"Weighed & found wanting" The fries were tasty, we got a lot of sauce :)

Very nice place, lovely people, they like to have a chat with you and are very welcoming. They take good care of you and constantly ask how you are and if you need anything, I will definitely come back

No encontrábamos sitio para cenar porque era muy tarde y llegamos al café Staalmeesters justo cuando el cocinero Walter cerraba su cocina. Nos acogió y nos hizo una cena maravillosa. Trato fantástico y bellísima persona Walter

Staalmeesters is a beautiful restaurant and classic! The chef is very friendly and creative with his dishes. Also prepares dishes on request, if there is time.

Super cozy! Marc is a super hospitable and warm bartender

A beautiful place!) Near the water, delicious desserts, excellent service, well, the street is heated in the evening 🥰 Very cozy😘

Pleasant bar for consuming tasty beers. Good selection, there is something for everyone. Only the prices for their drinks are a bit high

I want to thank Walter & Eelco and the staff for the kind service! I recommend this place for people who want to come in large wgroups (I came with 12 people).

After walking around town for hours this was a great spot for a meal out on the patio. The wait staff was friendly and the food was good.

Food and canteen service for the price of a gastro. When you go out, it's more likely you'll get gastro.

The service makes you want to péter a cable

You wait an hour for them to serve you, and then they still have time to bring the ordered...

Best Falafel I ever had in my life with good service, Walter the chef was really kind and nice, defo will come again when I’m back in Amsterdam

Lovely place to dine, cosy, cozy and a nice atmosphere! Super tasty cocktails. I had a good experience here. We will come back again!

very nice and cozy tent! The chef, Walter, is a very nice and thoughtful host.

We were lucky to find this place the first evening of our stay in Amsterdam, we went back every day!

It took them over >40 mins to bring a chai tea latte. Once reminded he was even quite rude about it (the shorter waiter). At the next table people came 20 mins after and even got their drinks before I did.

First waited 30 minutes for a drink + waited well over an hour for a small appetizer. INCREDIBLE! At normal workload, staff appear to be extremely stressed/desperate/overwhelmed. If you want to eat something quick, look for something else.

We were here last night Dec 31 about 7pm. We were excited because it will be our time to dine out with my youngest daughter with autism. As we placed our order my daughter suddenly stand and clap her hands out of excitement. It’s just a usual noise and everybody is in a festive mood that time. Then the owner approached us and told us to eat somewhere else because my daughter might disturbed others with her conditions. We were so heart broken and my autistic daughter started to cry that night. She couldn’t understand why we should leave as she has been a good girl that time. I wish the owner gave our daughter a chance i know we doesn’t have a chance hearing insulting words from him. We just leave and order food from our hotel room. I can see the frustrations from my daughters eye that night and it breaks my heart. Hope there are more people who would embrace their conditions.

We sat outside under the heater, nice place and very friendly staff, in for a chat 👌
