Eetcafé De Blauwe Pan in Jordaan

Fantastic bar ,great food and staff 👍

Best eatery. I have been coming here from Rotterdam for 25 years. I work at the Monday market, and delicious apple pie with whipped cream and tasty dishes. Affordable and cheap. Very friendly people. I see a lot of happy and satisfied customers. My compliments. De Stoffenman.

Though you can't tell this from outside, inside this is a awesome local bar (in a good sense of the word "local"). Personal is nice and funny, the playlist of music selected with love. Beer is of own brewery, I can say, quite good.

Cozy little pub in the Jordaan. We enjoyed a bite and a drink with Amsterdam music in the background.

Great cafe! Lovely terrace, delicious apple pie and delicious coffee, I'll be back next week!

Not recommended, very customer-unfriendly. The service at this place leaves much to be desired. Waiting 45 minutes for a toasted sandwich is too long anyway, but the way our cancellation (because we really had to leave) was handled was scandalous. Instead of an apology, we received a furious and emotional reaction from a kitchen employee who refused to be understanding and displayed childish behavior. Only after a lot of commotion and a toasted sandwich (which, miraculously, suddenly appeared after 45 minutes) being thrown into a container, was the sandwich finally removed from the bill. A very uncomfortable situation. We will not be coming back here after paying for what we actually received. And of course, we didn't take the toasted sandwich home. It was clear that the kitchen employee couldn't handle the stress of a half-empty place. Given the wide selection in this neighborhood, I advise choosing from many of the other outdoor cafes.

We were there today with a large group. Super nice people, great atmosphere, great food. We'd love to go back again.

Such nice service! The boy with the curls is very sociable.

If you are looking for a truly Amsterdam café where coziness, delicious food, and a warm welcome come together, then you absolutely must visit De Blauwe Pan on Westerstraat. From the moment you walk in, you feel the lovely atmosphere. Jokes are made everywhere, spontaneous conversations arise, and people meet each other. Young, old, alone, or with a group: everyone is welcome. Whether you come for a cup of coffee, an extensive lunch, drinks, or a fun karaoke night, it is all possible at De Blauwe Pan. The food is delicious. The stews and soups taste as if they were homemade, and the chicken satay is without a doubt one of the best in Amsterdam. Also, be sure not to forget the homemade apple pie; it is highly recommended. And as a coffee lover, you simply *must* order a latte macchiato here. The Italian owner clearly conveys her passion and love for hospitality in everything she does. You can taste this in the coffee, the food, and the personal attention everyone receives. De Blauwe Pan is much more than a café; It is a meeting place where connection, conviviality, and good food take center stage. A place you love to return to again and again. Highly recommended!

This pub is an example for every establishment that wants to call itself a traditional pub! Highly recommended!

Nice place, always full of nice people and a good atmosphere. Always warmly welcomed by the staff and moved to your sun quickly and efficiently.

There is an incredibly cozy atmosphere here and the service is great!!

We are frequent customers in this bar and usually there’s a great vibe. The staff are friendly and helpful and we’ve always had a good time. But last weekend, we went there for a quick drink and when I went upstairs to the toilet I saw there was a fully naked woman dancing for a group of men. It seemed like a birthday party or a celebration and that they’d hired a stripper. Was utterly shocked at this happening in a public space in plain daylight when this place is not a strip club. Very disappointed to have witnessed something so inappropriate and uncomfortable in a regular bar. We won’t be back.

My friends and I have been to this bar multiple times and have always enjoyed the friendly, easy-going staff. Sadly, after last Saturday, we won’t be rushing back. There was a private party booked on the upper floor, which is also where the restrooms are located. To the shock of regular customers trying to use the facilities, the party featured a fully naked stripper performing an incredibly graphic show in plain view. Witnessing something that explicit in broad daylight at a casual, all-ages bar was completely unacceptable. Management needs to consider where they host these events. Forcing regular patrons to walk through a graphic adult show just to use the bathroom is a massive misstep.

Last Friday, we celebrated our daughter's birthday at De Blauwe Pan. Thanks to Soraya and her team for their contribution to a very successful party!

Last Thursday, we had a drink at De Blauwe Pan and a lot of pizzas were being baked. There was a large order and the staff were busy getting all the pizzas into the bag so they could be delivered. One pizza fell on the floor and, to my horror, the waiter and waitress picked up the pizza slices from the floor and put it back together in the pizza box; even the mushrooms were picked up from the floor and placed on top. And the pizza box went into the bag and was therefore simply delivered. Very, very bad...

Super cozy! Fun, humorous Amsterdam service!

Food was average. They don’t handle orders well, they got confused with what we asked for and even added extra items that we never ordered, then still expected us to pay even after we pointed it out as soon as the food arrived at the table. One of the younger waitresses was very rude and ignored me when I asked for a bottle of water. I had to go to the counter and ask for it a third time. In the end, they weren’t even pleasant when we said thank you. Very disappointing experience.

Sweetest and nicest waitresses, most delicious food and drinks! Highly recommended at all times for a cozy drink or coffee..

Lovely place, nice people ❤️ great for a casual chat, the waitresses are neat and. Top notch.

We had a fantastic meal at De Blauwe Pan. Hospitable staff, fast service, and top quality. They always make it a party and ensure you feel welcome. We will definitely be back!

Terrible experience here on King’s Night. I completely understand that it was busy, and I’m usually very patient in those situations. However, the issue wasn’t the wait, it was the attitude and lack of basic service. I ordered fries from the side window at around 10:30pm. The young blonde female server confirmed they were still being served and told me to wait to the right while she continued taking drink orders. After about 10 minutes, I checked in politely, she reassured me they were coming. After another 5–10 minutes, I asked again, as drinks were constantly being served but there was no sign of my order. This time, she responded in an annoyed tone: “No, we’ve actually stopped selling fries now.” When I said I had already paid, she replied sarcastically, “No, unless you’d like your chips cold,” while making a mocking expression. This was genuinely surprising and unnecessary, especially as I had been nothing but polite. Shortly after, she placed two beers in front of me (without explanation or apology), then said she had “shouted” to the kitchen but my fries hadn’t even been ordered yet, which only confirmed that I had been right to follow up. I calmly explained that while I understand Dutch directness, the way she spoke to me was rude and dismissive. Instead of acknowledging this, she reacted defensively and took the drinks away. After all that time waiting, and still no fries, I eventually left. Worst 5 euros I’ve ever spent. I will not be returning to or recommending this place.

Good place where the locals meet

Nice relaxed café/bar with great homemade apple cake.

amazing ! the people are the nicest !

Nice pub in a beautiful location in the center of Amsterdam

A cozy and beautiful place, and the staff are very friendly. Good prices. :)

It looks nice, but the day I went I couldn't get in because they were having a private party.

My wife and I and two of our good friends visited this cafe during a walking and food tour of Amsterdam, a group of 8, with our guide. The owner spent a half hour with us making us feel welcomed and answering any questions we had. Later in the afternoon, we went back to the same cafe for drinks, which was just before closing time. We told the owner that we wanted to come back as a result of his amazing hospitality. Just prior to leaving, the owner insisted that we all try a piece of his wife’s homemade apple pie which was delicious, as was the food we had sampled earlier in the day. Truly a great experience in a wonderful city and area of Amsterdam! Highly recommend

We had rose’ wines water and an apple pie with whipped cream to die for light delicious probably the most delicious apple pie I’ve had it was like apple torte’ yum!

Really nice, Amsterdam ladies enjoying wine and chatting. Nice and local, no tourists.

Café De Blauwe Pan is absolutely great ... also recommended to go with a group, just contact us to organize everything properly. Joris and Soraya good luck

Actually, 0 stars: what a disgrace! We received an email confirmation for a reservation for 8 people, and when we arrived, nothing was known about it?! We were ushered upstairs to push tables ourselves amidst the pizza boxes... "You can sit, but dinner will definitely take another hour." After an Amsterdam platter, which was tasty, a round of still-frozen bread arrived. We gave up and ran to Pepe's, where a table was set for us in no time, and we still had a wonderful team evening. Too bad, Blauwe Pan, there won't be a second chance, if you boat people with pizza are so much more important.

We stumbled upon this place spontaneously and were very satisfied.

Last week we were in Amsterdam. Walking through the beautiful city we came across your place. Wonderful atmosphere, great food, local music, guests were playing cards, laughing, family atmosphere. We felt immersed in the city. thank you

Excellent atmosphere, no turists, only local people.

Had a fantastic party here last Sunday. Well-organized and great staff. Great karaoke, and what a lovely owner!

Nice place, cheerful service. And unexpected live Jordaan songs. What more could you want!

They also have a FlowerBike and the best drinks they can teach you how to make pancakes 🥞

Fun place for a beer and a pizza in the heart of the Jordaan in Amsterdam. A local gathering place in true Dutch style.

It is a cozy location with a warm atmosphere. The staff is very friendly; we felt welcome and were helped well. The food came quickly and the service was fast – almost every five minutes someone came by to ask if we needed anything else. I had the chicken satay, which was tasty and filling. What I found a pity is that they didn’t ask me if I wanted herbs on my fries – I would have preferred without them. The tables are quite close together, which can make it noisy, especially when several groups are talking at the same time. For those who like a lively and social atmosphere, this is a great place to eat.

Just stopped for a couple of beers

My favorite bar in Amsterdam! Whether you’re in the mood for coffee and a treat or dinner and a party, this place has it all. Great people, good food, and an incredible vibe!

What a lovely pub!!!! Super cozy with lovely people and perfect and lovely service, Amsterdam at its best 😇 with delicious Ijwit beer on tap and good bites and it can't get much better than this 😘😘🥰 heaven on earth 🤩 must see xxx

ham had a very cheap taste everything tasted like they are from the supermarket

Super recommended very good food

Had some delicious pie here, nice people too

Verrast door supergezellige sfeer en gastvrije eigenaresse! En heerlijk gegeten. Een feestje en pareltje in de Jordaan!!

Probably the most feel good place I've ever been to. Really amazing vibe. Thank you very much!

Had a good lunch. Nice atmosphere, nice cafe to relax. Was quiet when we came in, but it quickly became livelier with more people. Great place to have a meal

A very cozy place with good food, great staff and a stunning atmosphere!

Best Nachos i've ever had in my life 🤩 and the beer is also really good! Definitly coming back !!

A super cozy place where they serve exquisite beers, accompanied by spectacular food.

Cozy homely atmosphere. It feels like you've been coming there for years👌🏻

We had a delicious meal there in a very nice atmosphere with beautiful music! Can recommend it to everyone!!

Very good little bar, nice quick food and drinks

It was really cold that day in Amsterdam, me and my husband were freezing and ran into this place. Got an idea to check it out and warm up. It was empty at the moment, seems like this is more a night out place but we got welcomed and served. This place showed me that locals in Amsterdam really care about the heart and soul of these small bars, restaurants… you can see photos of guests and owners all around. They seem easy going and calm. So friendly and cozy! We had some snacks and hot chocolate (and whiskey 😊) - warmed up and continued our Amsterdam adventure.

Tanaland God has taken up residence in this place All women are divine The man who loves women must go to this place before the end of his life I love blondes, both in beer and as women

Great beer selection and the staff have a lot if character ;-)

Apple pie❤️❤️❤️ and warm hospitality❤️❤️❤️

Perfect place next to a flea market. Friendly staff and very good coffee.

5 stars because I can't give 1000

Our visit to Eetcafé De Blauwe Pan was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the warm hospitality of owner Jorbs and his wonderful family. Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jordaan district, this charming eatery offers a delightful taste of traditional Dutch cuisine. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Jorbs, the owner, took the time to personally introduce himself and share the story of his family’s involvement in the café. It’s clear that this is a family-run establishment, with each member contributing to the cozy and friendly environment. The menu features a variety of hearty Dutch dishes, all prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the traditional Dutch stew, which was rich and flavorful, accompanied by perfectly cooked meatballs and sausage. The homemade apple pie, a family recipe, was the perfect end to our meal. What truly sets Eetcafé De Blauwe Pan apart is the genuine care and attention from Jorbs and his family. They made us feel like part of their extended family, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this café is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Dutch cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. Highly recommended for a memorable meal and a true taste of Amsterdam’s culinary heritage!

Cozy café with terrace in the sun! (*when the sun shines)

Well, we only had a beer there, but the experience was nice. The price is good considering the location, service was good as well and the location is nice, with indoor and outdoor tables.

A super nice little bar with fantastic music, very good drinks, fair prices, good food and nice staff. Cheaper than many other restaurants especially near Amsterdamm Central

Very welcoming to is when we were looking for a restaurant that would satisfy four of us. Food was excellent, but the service was even better. Karaoke started and seemed like a great time, though we didn't know the language!

Super cozy place, wonderful atmosphere, we had a great evening with the E team of Engels paint Amsterdam (again soon)

The place is in a nice location, but food was not the best. Nachos WITH cheese, had barely cheese, and they were not very well combined with scattered pieces of rocket and pepper... The carpaccio sandwich was okayish...

Had a great time celebrating a birthday and watching the Euro 2024. The apple pie is the best in Amsterdam and it was accompanied by some classic Dutch songs that were being belted out at midnight, proper Amsterdam experience. My only advice would be to treat the customers who are spending their hard earned money at your bar with a bit more respect. When asking how much longer the apple pie would take the barman replied hastily with “what do you think this is, it’s not McDonald’s hey” all up though a true Dutch gem in a great spot - recommend.

We did the 360 ​​Amsterdam Tours, a treasure hunt through the Jordaan. This was our starting point. Our reservation included a snack at every stop. With 3 people we received 3 mini frying baskets with a total of 2 bitterballen and 4 mini cheese snacks. We asked if that was all, no, there would be more, the young man who served said. It took a very long time. When one of us went inside to ask for the rest, she received a rude response from the kitchen. Of course nothing more would come and we had to pay and suffer. We were perplexed. 2 other women on the terrace indicated that it had indeed been said that more snacks would follow. The man with the rude comments had now come out of the kitchen and was going crazy. Dazed, we paid and moved on. What a crappy tent for the start of the otherwise fun tour.

Had arrangement but the top floor looks like storage. You're eating between a freezer and a bottle of turpentine.

Wonderful place, nice service. Warm people and atmosphere.

always Nice and cozy on a Monday morning. And the Westerstraat on the market

Great place to have a nice evening. After the meal the owner pushes the tables and we dance and sing. Karaoke. Thank you for this great evening

Nice beer, great atmosphere. Nuff said.

the best. we appreciate the vegetarian options across the whole menu, a ton of veg dutch snacks. great staff, great crowd, and lovely people running the cafe 💕

We like this place. It has a really cool upstairs setup. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we needed to keep going on our tour. The Poffertjes were great! Good beers. Stop on in.

Here is a comment confirming the bad manners. In addition to being rude, violent and racist, they are liars... Keep up the bad work! I hope you hear from me again about the complaint I filed about aggression by your security guard. Compliments.

Worst bar ever. Racist. We consumed several drinks per person. She said we had none. Disgusting

Very bad experience.... i just wanted to go upstairs after buy a drink and they didnt let me because i was a man.... foking rieiculious in 2024...

Very friendly staff and super cozy atmosphere.

Lovely place to eat and drink and great atmosphere.

It's easily one of my favorites in Amsterdam. Away from the crowds and as welcoming and authentic as there is in Amsterdam. All the food is delicious, but I am partial to the apple pie. (with whip) Great place to relax and end up in a great conversation.

Oh my god, What an experience! Their steak meal is just divine. Perfectly cooked and served with a lot of welcomes and smiles from the friendly staff. I've actually been here six years ago back in 2018. The owner welcomed me back. I would come back here every time I visit Amsterdam.

It's a cozy place, delicious drinks, delicious dishes😋 Cool vibe!!!

My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon with you.

Cosy, small, very dutch pub. Broad range of beers and coctails

Very friendly and helpful staff. Welcoming. Made it easy for out of towners/visitors. Came with a friend whilst out discovering Amsterdam. Thank you.

This is the end, people who don't go here have no idea how nice Amsterdam can still be

Un lugar encantador, probamos las Kroketten y bitterballen ( pedid solo unas para los que vayan nuevos, son lo mismo exactamente) Muy buenas y un buen aderezo para la ensalada que acompañaba. ¡Recomendado!

We can’t get over how great of an experience we had at this place. The service by the owners was fantastic. This was our first stop in Amsterdam, we just stumbled in and grabbed a seat. We ended up getting the bitterballin and nachos. Both good but the bitterballin was probably the best we had on the trip! My wife had a cosmo which she said might’ve been the best she had ever had. We sat upstairs and they didn’t care about coming up to serve us. Super friendly and helpful. Then when we went to leave and pay they had a couple food tours there and the female owner I can’t remember her name was running all over helping them. She then gave us a tasting dish of what she was serving a potato and vegetable mash mix and some sausage that was to die for. (I ordered sausage because hers was so good at another restaurant later on our trip and was very disappointed) She then poured us a shot of a black licorice liquor all Free of charge. Just because she was being kind and we had to wait a couple minutes to pay. Definitely didn’t expect anything we had a great experience before she did all that. Definitely go support these great people. We will definitely be back if we get back to Amsterdam! Wish we would’ve tried the apple pie, it looked so good but we were stuffed! Highly recommend checking them out!

Warm hospitality, Delicious Bitterballen & Apple Tart

Heerlijk café met lief personeel. Je kan ‘r met een gerust hart je portemonnee verliezen, de toppers bewaren ‘m netjes totdat je ‘m weer komt ophalen. Veel dank!

Muy buen sitio para comida típica holandesa secilla

Simple, bon et très bonne ambiance !

Best Apple Tart in Amsterdam and excellent service. We'll be back!

The best Apple Tart of all the city, in my opinion!

Een gezellige sfeer hangt hier. Heerlijk relaxed mensen zitten niet allemaal op een rijtje op het terras. Ga zitten waar plek is nummertje erbij en bestellen maar. Amsterdamse combo plank(etagère) lekker gevuld met goede mosterd! De Nacho uit de oven vond ik zelf niet slecht. Maar de gebruikt Nacho vond ik zelf niet heel lekker. Maar mag de pret niet drukken. Prima keuze in bier en andere drank. Goede service.

Geweldig cafe met gezellige mensen voor en achter de bar, oud Amsterdamse gezelligheid en een goede prijs voor een drankje. Een dansje en lekker meezingen op goede muziek zorgen ervoor dat je blijft hangen tot Andre Hazes aangeeft dat het tijd is om te gaan. Top avond gehad, bedankt iedereen!
