Dignita Hoftuin in Weesperbuurt/Plantage

Amazing! They have gluten free options and gluten free bread. I ordered Cilbir Benny and the boy avocado.

The food was good, but my son's smoked trout had tons of bones. The espresso was undrinkable.

Peaceful location and good food.

Everything was excellent. We recommend it 1000%.

The food is delicious and the coffee is great 👍 and the service is excellent. We came twice.

Love it! Delicious breakfast/lunch

🪑 Setting - This café's biggest asset is its location in the "secret" courtyard, an oasis in the city. There's a lovely terrace, but you can also sit on the lawn (a few picnic tables and benches are available). We were there on a warm Saturday around 3 p.m., and there was just enough room for two people. 🧑‍🍳 Service - Nothing to complain about, but not exceptional either. 🥗 Food - A nice menu with slightly unusual dishes or classic dishes with a twist. I tried the peach pancakes, which were delicious. 🍹 Drinks - A wide selection, including homemade creations. I thought the iced coffee with pandas and vanilla (a limited-time special) was absolutely disgusting, but my dining companion enjoyed it. Then I had the iced matcha mango, which I enjoyed. 🌱 Dietary requirements - Lots of vegetarian options on the menu. 🚽 Facilities - Clean restrooms, and there's also an indoor play area for small children. 💰 Value for money - I think the food and drinks are a bit expensive, but ultimately, you're paying for the location. It's a wonderful place to relax.

Service a little bit slow but friendly staff, amazing food, great atmosphere. Totally worth the visit.

Delicious food. Unique. Quite pricey.

Dignita uses a special Rumbaba coffee blend from Peru, which makes for delicious coffee. If you’re looking for the best cheesecake in Amsterdam, you found the place. The burnt Basque cheesecake is very creamy, but light and has a subtle floral aroma. The chicken sandwich ‘Chook Norris’ tasted bright and flavorful, crispy butter milk fried chicken, avocado, black beans, pickled vegetables, chipotle sauce on milk bread, served with tortilla chips. Unfortunately they skimped on the chicken, but the sandwich was still delicious. Dignita serves all day brunch and the menu is original and changes with the seasons. For example the lamb stew with Parmesan polenta sounds perfect on a cold winter’s day. Come here for the garden view and outside terrace when the weather’s nice. Also do not forget to make a reservation ahead of time, this place is always packed. ETA 17th July Summer Drinks o’ clock Special summer drinks menu, see photo non-alcoholic as well as alcoholic. Pandan iced latte, with vanilla and espresso, is on my to do list. The chook norris sandwich still slaps, delicious combo of flavors and textures.

Nice place in the middle of Amsterdam

Very nice cafe in garden location and you are helping people.

⏳️Fast service: 4/5 🫶Friendly service: 5/5 🥗Tasty food: 5/5 💸Value for money: 5/5 Perfect brunch place. Fot the Netherlands, the service is exceptionally good. Our waiter, Tulio, was genuinely making sure we've had a good time. The food was absolutely delicious, coffee was flawless and the cocktail was well balanced. Tip: The place is busy so ordering and paying may take some time. Order the table in advance to make sure you get a seat.

We sat on the patio with our two little babies. The were very accommodating. The service was fairly good but they were pretty busy. The atmosphere was great on the outdoor patio. We thought the food was great, especially the yogurt and eggs dish they prepare (cannot recall name). The pancakes are also excellent as is the coffee. Looking forward to the next time.

Almost got the 5 stars if it wasn’t for the grumpy, rude, lazy waiter who just didn’t want to work today. The young lady was friendly and helpful but when we were going to pay, this young men (that seemed like the floor manager or something) came to us so we could pay, I ask to split the bill and pay separately since I had to pay with a business card. He refused and insisted in his refusal first saying “he doesn’t have time” then “it would have to pay the fees to the bank twice” (what if we were just two separate tables, I wonder?) I told him I will wait, he said 10 min and was literally hanging around doing stuff absolutely not urgent. We stand to stand up and go to the counter where he came and it literally took him 15 seconds to split the bill. I’m only sorry for the rest of the staff that missed the tip and the good review because of this arrogant youngster.

A very cozy place and a super delicious lunch. Quiet courtyard, nice and informal. Highly recommended.

A calm and friendly spot in Amsterdam, healthy and tasty food, lovely and efficient service

A restaurant with an extremely cozy garden! Fast, accurate service, delicious food.

The food here is AMAZING! 🤩 Wow! The most creative I’ve had and hidden away!

Highly recommended. Super delicious food and lovely ambiance.

I really liked the atmosphere. Both indoor and outdoor areas are lovely. I do think the prices are way too high for the portion sizes. The flavours did not blow me away. The plating was nice but I felt that the quality of the food could be improved. I had the baguette with bresaola, which could have easily been elevated with a sourdough. I think it’s very basic compared to the price although the ambience was nice.

One of the best brunch restaurants I've tried in Amsterdam! 😍 It's located in a garden, the food is very clean, the service is friendly, and the seating is relaxing, away from the street and the noise. Our orders: BONNY BOY, delicious and filling. We ordered it with avocado. Fresh and delicious orange juice. Pancakes, I forgot the name, but the basil thing tasted good.

It was morning. The place was fairly crowded, so it's best to make a reservation. We arrived without a reservation, and the staff welcomed us, prepared a table for us, and gave us the option of either indoor or outdoor seating. The café is located inside a small garden, but the atmosphere is very nice and cozy. Requests: 1- Fruit Pancakes: The toppings were banana and berries, and the taste was average. 2- Fried Eggs on Toast: 6 out of 10 (you can choose the degree of doneness of the eggs). 3- Americano: It was average. 4- Fresh orange juice: Delicious. The price is very, very cheap compared to the surrounding cafés. A place worth a visit.

Waited more than 1,5 hours for our food and drinks. They compensated the drinks for us. Lovely garden and atmosphere but not coming back.

I entered smoothly Funny thing that they forgot my order and I waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes But the staff were nice

Landed at Dignita Hoftuin in our first day in Amsterdam for lunch. We didn't have a reservation but after waiting about 7 minutes they found a nice spot for us outside. The location on the little park is picturesque and a great place for a restaurant. Really excellent food for breakfast/lunch/brunch. I had the mango mostarda toastie (such good chili oil) and my husband had the Chook Norris. Both were excellent and very fresh. I wish we would have made our way back here again - looking forward to the next time!

They advertise they make gluten free food, but then the kitchen is too small to avoid contamination for celiac disease. I was told there was nothing safe for me even if I wrote an email well in advance about the issue to which they replied positively.

best brunch food I’ve had ever, lots of great flavours super big portion. four stars because service could be improved

Giving two stars just because the location is nice. Extremely overpriced food that has zero taste. I recommend to go somewhere else.

Overhyped & Overpriced First of all: Yes, the food is good! But: Everything else that makes for a good restaurant experience is, unfortunately, completely lacking. It's generally difficult to get a table without a reservation—that's just how it is with great restaurants—but: Here, waiting in line for 20 minutes isn't worth it. Once you're seated, it takes 30 minutes or more before you can order or are served. The service isn't necessarily inattentive, but it's overwhelmed. The service is also rather disinterested and tedious. Many restaurants do things differently and better. The prices are exorbitant for small portions. All in all, you're sitting in a beautiful park-like garden—but you quickly realize you've fallen into a tourist trap, since no local would likely wander into the Dignita Hoftuin. So: there are far better breakfast places in Amsterdam.

Empty tables everywhere. And still not welcome by stressed lady with piercings. Welcome to our country

As much as we had hopes of liking the food, it failed. Service was just horrible. We waited 30 minutes for someone to take our order after we flagged them down and waited another 30 minutes for drinks, receiving a cold coffee which was clearly sitting somewhere. Food finally arrived after an hour and a half to find eggs Benedict that was over cooked, more hard boiled than poached and a sauce that was overly acidic. Safe to say, skip this location and try something more efficient.

Insane food and presentation. There is no better brunch place in Ams. This location specially has a beautiful spot. I like it when I have more than 3 items on the menu which I want and I cannot decide. My recommendation is Benny Boy!

Delicious restaurant with a great view. The dishes are quite large. The staff is very helpful. I recommend it. Good restaurant and welcoming staff. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We had been there as a group of 3 and were seated in the middle of the room. Service fast and welcoming, while the food was delicious, the drinks were a mix. Coffee was too watery, matcha was ok but the juices were really delicious. Not a place to stay longer but much more just to eat and drink. We booked well in advance. Full house may also be as it is hyped on TikTok and Instagram but would go there again. Not good accessibility for wheelchair users and one can hear the conversations of the table next but that comes with the limited space.

Such a lovely place for brunch, all the dishes looked amazing, I couldn’t decide what to have! I had the pancakes and they were delicious, just the right amount of sweetness! I will definitely be back with family and friends!

Beautiful place and beautiful and impressive holocaust monument

Make a reservation, as it’s always very busy. The location is beautiful—calm and green, a peaceful spot in the city. The interior is very cozy, and when the weather is nice, it’s amazing to sit outside and enjoy the garden. Food: It seems like the prices have gone up while the portion sizes have decreased. The Chuck Norris sandwich costs €18, which feels quite high for what you get. I had the savoury kadaif—it's a nice and unique dish, but again, I think €16 is too much. The prices of the 'Sides' are also not in proportion. 5 euro for a smashed avocado! They usually offer a wide variety of desserts, but unfortunately, there weren’t many left. We ordered the apple pie, which tasted great, but the portion was very small. Overall, it was a nice experience. However, I’d suggest reviewing the portion sizes, and the service could definitely be a bit quicker.

Very nice place. We loved the place and the food we found online.

Its a very nice place. Positives The garden is beautiful and the food is very nice. The team is very professional. Negatives it's quite expensive even for Amsterdam prices. A sandwich was more than 15 euros and it came with literally 7 nachos.

Nice terrace and food is always same good quality. Service is a bit behind but still friendly and nice 👍🏻 always a good idea to go but reservations are mandatory unfortunately. The line in front of the door is very long :(

Can’t say much as didn’t manage to get a seat. It wasn’t that busy, but still I haven’t received a single “Hi” or “Welcome, someone will be at you shortly”. Just serious faces talking to each other or ignoring you. After few minutes I left the line, hearing other people saying “this doesn’t make sense”. Might be an isolated case, but still…

My wife and I flew in from New York, This place was on our "to do" list. We walked there from the CitizenM around the corner and have to say its an amazing place. The food and service were perfect! We are looking forward to returning to Amsterdam and stopping in for a bite to eat. Thanks all! A+

Benedict on hash browns was delicious. Very child/family friendly. Cute place

The dishes were original, but very expensive. The dish Chook Norris is a Mexican sandwich with chicken and cost €18.50, which we found very high even for Amsterdam prices. It was very tasty, but there are enough comparable options in Amsterdam that are much more affordable. The service was not great. We had to ask for attention and everything went quite slowly. It took a long time before you had a drink on the table, for example. The staff was very friendly, but unfortunately less attentive. Of course the location is fantastically beautiful, in the middle of the Hoftuin. We sat inside because of bad weather and it was very noisy there because of the crowds. Dignita had been on our list for a long time, but was still less than expected. Prices are not in proportion to the service and the food.

One of the most beautiful brunch spots in Amsterdam, located in a very historically significant location in town. The food and seasonal menu just takes the experience to the next level. Make sure to reserve in advance :)

Location: set in a cozy garden-like area that is very calm and serene. Certainly makes you feel you’re in a different part of Amsterdam. Food: overall not bad. The salad was nice (enough for one). The Benny Boy was okay. The Chick Norris sandwich is recommended. Staff: nice and welcoming.

Dignita is a beloved Amsterdam-based restaurant known for its charming spots in picturesque locations like Hoftuin and Vondelpark, offering a cozy, contemporary ambiance with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Its menu features creative brunch and all-day dishes, from fluffy pancakes and avocado toast to nourishing salads and grain bowls, paired with artisanal coffee and homemade pastries.

In a nice surrounding (which is even better when the weather is great) you can easily get a fantastic breakfast! I can highly recommend checking this place!

The food was good. Service began friendly, but after a few extra minutes at the table the staff started saying “sorry for the rush” to ask us to free the table in an unfriendly tone, and kept repeating it even after we cleared our drinks in seconds. After paying and quickly leaving the table, I went to the restroom. As I was heading out, the waitress said, “Oh, you’re still here?”—which felt quite rude. It made me wonder: once you’ve paid, are you not allowed to use the bathroom? That unfriendly treatment left us with a negative impression

The setting is very pretty. The restaurant is in a garden and is made entirely of glass, so you can see the outside. The service was friendly, although we were the only ones who didn't get a menu; we had to ask for it since we were going for brunch and the menus on the table were empty. The avocado and bacon toast was good. But the prices were very high, especially the coffees.

Such a beautiful spot! 🤩 While the Benny Boy is €16.5, you get exactly what you’re paying for. The presentation and the taste are 10/10! You will need to reserve as it gets really busy even during the week. The only downside, was that when it was busy, there was not enough staff for the volume of customers. We waited about 45 minutes for our order, this included waiting for our coffee. We then had to remind one of the waiters about our order as we presumed they had forgotten which was the case. I would definitely recommend this place for the food and the atmosphere, but I hope the slow service was just unusual for that particular day.

Food is great and with good weather there is no better location for brunch. Service could have been better/ faster, not because they did not want to, but was understaffed that day. Overall they were still very helpful/ friendly.

The service is slow and most of the breakfast dishes are not available. Their Americano coffee is delicious and the pancakes are average and cold.

I liked their cilbir. My friend ordered a sandwich with chicken which was delicious as well.

Marvellously beautiful location with decent food and abysmal service.

Located in a very cozy park in waterlooplein, this brunch spot is one of the prettiest in Amsterdam. They have very interesting variations of food, benny boy being my favorite. I definitely recommend. The savory kadaif was nice, its a good choice for vegetarians. The staff is helpful and friendly, however the service was unfortunately very slow. It was a very busy day. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if its not very crowded.

We visited here on a Friday afternoon. There was a short queue for walk ins, however we prebooked which is what I would recommend you do. Food was delicious and sitting outside was beautiful especially as it was warm and sunny

After 50 min waiting for our order, the waiter told us that kitchen lost our order ticket so they would start making just now. When we got it, we noticed both of our eggs were overcooked and they were not even close to poached eggs. I should have refused taking it but we waited so long so there wasn’t any other option for us at that time. The fact that they offered us two free drinks doesn’t make this up. Not recommended at all. Edit: I am offered 16,5 eur discount coupon in the end.

Delicious food, occasionally something new on the menu that you didn't know yet and above all: always really nice service. Extra blanket: no problem. Extra ice cubes because someone is not doing well - of course! They really think along with you here. And yes - duh, everyone definitely wants to make a reservation 😁 or just go at 9 in the morning! Then it is often wonderfully quiet here. Thanks for the great care and the delicious food.

Lovely ambience and great food!

Invited by my daughter for a Mother's Day lunch arrangement. She had made a reservation via the site with the clear note that she would like to sit in the garden. Upon arrival we had to wait outside in line for fifteen minutes and when it was our turn the reservation could not be found and my patient daughter made an attempt to help the boy without glasses by showing him the reservation confirmation, which was not appreciated. Then put at a table inside because outside was full, the attitude was typical of a pity. We received a card without explanation even though a package had been booked. It didn't happen either and it didn't really matter what we wanted, maybe we wanted to order something else in addition to the arrangement. Illogical story and not very friendly. After expressing our surprise at the entire course of events (i.e. not feeling welcome, not a nice approach and not being sorry for the inconvenience) and having raised this with the boy with glasses asking for information about the arrangement (who turned out not to speak Dutch, so I asked if I wanted to tell my story again in English), the boy without glasses came by to let me know that he had already said that sitting outside was not possible, so there was no point in asking a colleague about this (rude because I came asking for an explanation of the Mother's Day package), luckily a friendly girl came to ask us what exactly we wanted. Very long story short: food excellent, hospitality downright worthless. Advice: if you offer a package, inform your staff in advance, this will help customer satisfaction. We heard several guests around us end up in the same discussion. Bad business and constant lines in front of the door with endlessly waiting guests. Too bad because the place is great and the cuisine is excellent (great rhubarb dessert with caramel) but we will not come back here. You know, something about experience?

Delicious lamb stew, juice and a latte with ginger! Nice. It's a pity that the staff or the people who served us do not speak Dutch.

The restaurant is half empty and you still can't go in without a reservation!

We had the same experience as one other user. Me and a friend arrived without a reservation, we asked if we could seat outside and they said it was all full. So we ordered to go. 5 minutes later a very dutch young couple arrives also without a reservation and she finds them a spot. No one had left, or anything. It was awful. Besides that the to go tea and matcha latte took 30 minutes, and I had to ask 3 times. They did let know other people arriving after us that it would take too long, but not us. This was our second time there and both times the service wasn't nice.

The highest rating for food quality and services ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food.Great options for vegetarians. However a lot of noise, it felt like in a school canteen. Lots of small children screaming and running.

Delicious food and friendly staff

The fattoush salad is certainly not a fattoush salad. There was only lettuce and almost no toppings. No radish, no tomato, no cucumber, no mint? And that for €14?! In addition, our drinks only came after our food was finished. The location and garden are nice but that's about it.

Absolute disaster customer service. Anything to just not work. We came 50(!) min before closing, got a table (yeyy) butbthey refused to give us food. I am quoting, 'no, not even a coffee because we are closing soon'. Typical local zero customer experience, those people scamming the owner by pretending that they work.

Service was very poor - we interacted with 6 members of the staff, of which only one was friendly. The rest treated us like an inconvenience. We waited for more than 30 min to get our drinks, once the order was placed. My matcha was served lukewarm. The positive thing is that the place is beautiful and well located. We haven't tried the food so can't comment on that.

Such a lovely space! Perfect for a relaxed breakfast / brunch in the quiet of a sunny museum backyard. Interesting food options mixed with classics so there’s something for everyone, including a little kids play area ✨

No staff available. I reserved a table, I waited 15min for someone to take my order/bring a glass of water but no one was available. The terrace looked very messy. I decided to walk out of my table since no one ever came. I have been here before and it was great so I don't know what has changed

Make sure to make a reservation. They were quite busy and had a line waiting out the door. They do have several locations. We came here based on all the reviews and also based on a recommendation from an acquaintance. But honestly, we thought the food was just ok. Average and really nothing to rave about.

Service is terribly slow and the food and drinks are overpriced but this is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle in Amsterdam

Great service and delicious food ☺️

The location is absolutely beautiful, and the food and drinks are great too. What’s consistently disappointing, though, is the staff’s attitude—they always seem grumpy and uninterested. It really takes away from an otherwise great experience.

Nos encantó, el trato, el servicio, la calidad y la amabilidad de su personal, de todos (en especial Leticia). Recomendable 100%. Su jardín es precioso. El café expresso muy bueno

We came here for drinks and had to wait a very long time. Asked for a card, it didn't come, after a lot of waving and trying to get eye contact with the waiter I ordered something, then it took 30 minutes for the order to arrive. The same story with the 2nd round, even though the terrace was not full at all. English speaking service who doesn't know what a bad cup of coffee is. Think staff training could be better. It's a shame for such a prime location and unfortunately this is not the first time that our experience here has been poor in terms of service. Hence a review now.

The location is good, but the quality and service are bad. A cold and dirty place that lacks a sense of organization. For information, I saw a mouse running in the middle of the restaurant, hiding under the floor, in a small hole.

Super rude service; both times, we were treated with utmost disrespect for simply asking a question. It's giving jail.

I absolutely loved this place. Nestled in what felt like a small garden, it had a cozy sunroom-like interior that was perfect for the sunny day. We enjoyed a delicious brunch, with excellent food and great service. The coffee was fantastic too. I highly recommend it!

Lovely drinks, lovely cake (Carrot Cake) with great service and friendly staff. If lived in Amsterdam would be a regular.

As others say, the spot is a nice place to sit with lots of airy windows, but the service is awful. Our waitress forgot to put in our order and 45 mins we asked about our food, she went to check and never came back. I then flagged down another person and they said they had forgotten to put the order in the computer. They eventually brought the food and the poached eggs were cold and hard (not runny), and the bread was stale. The manager eventually came over and said she would take our juice and coffee off the bill, which was disappointing for how bad the food and service was. I’m sure people will continue to come because of the location but don’t expect anything from the food. And don’t come hungry.

Great food and service! I visited a while ago but would definitely visit again!

It was really disappointing. The food tastes much better in the south. Our entire order was mixed up, the food was sloppily prepared and tasteless. Half of it wasn't even delivered — and that was for the children's menu. We were so disappointed that I even had to write this down.

The garden and atmosphere are very enjoyable. We had a Benny size and mushroom toast, it was quite delicious. Their coffee is nice too. A quiet, peaceful place surrounded by greenery.

Good brunch, pleasant setting, the service is a bit slow although friendly

Really delicious lunch, nice employees and great location!

Service is very very bad. After marking our order we have been waiting for 40 minutes and the waitress brought us only 1 cocktail (very bad) instead of 3. After asking to bring 2 more cocktails the waitress brought us 2 waters with lemon….Do not recommend it at all.

The food was good. The drinks (coffee and juices) were very mediocre. The service was friendly but very inefficient (they forgot to deliver one dish and they confused another one). The atmosphere wasn’t nice and cozy; the room inside was a bit cold and the place was very noisy. Also the chairs are very uncomfortabl.

Visitamos en marzo de 1025 con algunos amigos. La comida estaba bien, pero no algo impresionante. Las bebidas (café y zumos) eran muy mediocres. El servicio fue amable pero muy ineficiente (se olvidaron por completo de entregar el plato a una persona y confundieron a otra). El ambiente no era agradable y acogedor; la habitación interior era un poco fría y el lugar era muy ruidoso. También las sillas son muy incómodas.

Excellent! Wonderful food and a wonderful mission!

We waited over 30 minutes to be served two drinks. Once received, half of the drinks were filled with whipped cream. No excuse for the waiting time. In addition, the additional whipped cream for the hot chocolate was chargeable, which was not specified when ordering.

Dignita is a great local spot in Amsterdam, away from the usual tourist crowds. I tried the çılbır, and it was absolutely delicious! The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was well done. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, but the cozy and relaxed atmosphere made up for it. If you’re looking for a quality brunch experience in a more local setting, this place is definitely worth a visit! #Dignita #AmsterdamBrunch #Çılbır #LocalSpot

My favorite place of all time. Chill vibe.

Very nice staff and the food was great. We will definitely visit it again.

Real quiet and authentic pearl in the middle of Adam. Lovely quiet courtyard and especially the food was surprisingly tasty and special

Delicious food, friendly service, and a great location in a cozy hidden backyard!

The worst dining experience I ever had in Amsterdam even though the food was good. My friend was very excited about having brunch here, as her restaurant’s boss took her here before and she thought it would be nice to share those “lekker” food with us. As we all know it’s hard to find a sunny day in Amsterdam, that day was the best for us sisters outing. Happily we stepped into the restaurant, with birds chirping and sun shining. The girl behind the bar just told us to go outside and wait. I wasn’t sure what she was saying, but my friend who also did part time job thought we were asked to check out ourselves out there. Being a waitress, she understood that it’s busy during that time and perhaps we have to do such things ourselves. Just when we were checking, another girl came dropping a strong comment and turned around without any respect, as she’s the mother educating her children in public. “Do not touch other people’s computer. It’s private!” My friend tried to say something to explain, and she just ignored us and walked away. Later she came back, said the same thing twice. Yes of course we know this is what the staff is in charge with, but we were kicked out without any guidance and we thought it would be helpful to do so. Still, that should not be the reason why we touch that computer setting right in front of the door with nobody around it. The meal was good but our day was ruined. And I would never come back to this restaurant again, because whenever I’m here, such experience of being disrespected publicly will hit my head, just as so many times I experienced here in Netherlands.
