Fa. Cafe-Bistro Hansel and Gretel in De Weteringschans

Tight space/ old pub vibes, nice staff, the cheeseburger was decent! The Rolling Stones lanterns were a welcome surprise!

Grandma's pancake for €14.80 was more like an average crêpe. Prices are probably normal for Amsterdam. The owner (1 star) was rather unfriendly and slightly stressed. The younger waiter (4 stars), on the other hand, was very friendly. The cappuccino (€4) was tasty, but lukewarm. The atmosphere was nice, but I wouldn't go back.

Great bar and great music, loved the vibe. The food was good but not wow, the burger could have been better i thought. Everything else was fantastic and lovely

Had to collect menus from the bar after 10 mins of sitting, then waited another 15 mins and no one came to serve? All 3 staff just stood there chatting / eating No food review since we weren’t served 🤡

Young waiters who ran off their feet to serve lunch to guests on the outdoor terrace. Stressed and excitable adult man behind the bar. Sat inside right at the bar and ate very good carpaccio.

Great View by Canal and Rijks Museum warm friendly polite service came 2 days in a row Great First Class Coffee

Amazing steak fries and very fun bar area!

A typical Amsterdam cafe where you can order simple food. Not a place to come back to.

Nice location and nice vibe Sometimes a bit too much crowded

We where there to have a brunch around 11:30, we sit first outside but then we decided to go inside because for us it was kinda cold outside, even though the waiters outside were really nice, we ask them is we could move inside and they say yes, the girl inside the counter was super rude and told us that we could not use any table coz she had everything reserved (there were only 2 tables with people and it was before midday) she ask us to wait coz she will ask to her colleague and after a while in a very bad mood she told us we can use only the table of the corner. We just did and waited for our order, we stay there around 2 hours and oh surprise! Any “reserved” table was used! I definitely think if people prefer use only the terrace then the cafe should be closed or at least informe the customer that u cannot use the inside without reservation, it was a really bad experience, was our first and last time there.

Really lovely cafe, such fresh food and great staff who were super friendly despite being busy! Would recommend

Very disappointing experience. The food was bland and underwhelming, and the service was rude and extremely slow. Honestly, the only reason I can see for this place having customers is its location on a busy corner. I would never recommend this place to anyone and definitely won’t be coming back.

It was a quite frustrating experience. I ordered fried eggs with bacon, and asked if they could do the bacon crispy. The waitress assured me they could. When it arrived, it was far from crispy. I ask her to have it crispier, and at first she and another colleague tried to convince me that the bacon was in fact crispy. When they finally accepted it wasn’t, they explained that the chef would not do it crispier than that. I told them they should have told me that when I ordered, and returned my order. The other people who were with me ate their dishes, and they were all very dissatisfied with the quality.

The male tall waiter was extremely rude and condescending to clients. They treat tourists like an object. The waiter was asked by a client behind us if he can get them the bill. He rudely and righteously told her: "can't you see that I'm busy"? She clearly meant "once you can". He was also very arrogant when getting us the bill and was pushy on us holding the table for long. He also argued with another client, we did not hear the topic.

Good quality and delicious food. Superb service and attentiveness. We had a great time as a family with little kids.

Excellent coffee and friendly service, highly recommended!

I had lunch here after visiting the Rijksmuseum and had a really lovely time. They were busy but managed the busyness with ease (the food was insanely fast too), and the atmosphere was perfect, outside near the canal. I had the fennel and celeriac burger, something I have never heard of as a burger; it was phenomenal. Loved this place.

Confused and slow service, so-so food, great location

Cool place to have a quiet meal in the middle of busy Amsterdam. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. I will definitely come back here again.

service was nice but unfortunately just got explosive diarrhoea after eating here, never leave a bad review but this is insane 😓 just had a coffee and some apple pie, think it was the pie 😭😭

The atmosphere is nice, but the staff are probably too tired to smile. They're being rude without realizing it. We were afraid to ask for the WiFi password.

As a Frenchman, I am really picky with my food... the Caesar salad and the fries were sooo delicious!! And super fast service and super nice staff... highly recommended.

Quintessential Amsterdam bistro, on a canal near the Rijksmuseum. Good simple food and service for the price, with great outdoor ambiance.

Nice restaurant with good service. There were five of us, the food arrived quickly, and we highly recommend the homemade iced tea! We had both.

Cute Restaurant in the middle of the city. Friendly and fast staff. The food was beautifully plated and tasted just as good. You can sit outside in the sun.

Very annoying; there was a waitress who was gossiping and swearing at customers who weren't satisfied with her. We were there early in the afternoon, and she had already had three different alcoholic drinks. She was sitting right on top of the bar, interfering in everything. No, not a nice woman, and not fun to hear her complaining.

It has a great, very local atmosphere.

Nice breakfast spot near the main museums. The combo is just the right amount for a full day of walking and learning.

Left after the beer. What an unfriendly, grumpy bartender that bartender was.

Great football atmosphere and nice service

Everything would be fine, but the beer and food are unreasonably expensive.

The floor was all sticky, the atmosphere was bad, and the people weren't very friendly.

I’ve been trying to pay for half an hour, I feel like this has been an Olympic sport in waiter flagging and I have come in last place!

Nice place to find respite between sites

We visited the shop with a group of four for afternoon coffee. The service was nice, the girl alone was struggling to serve all the tables, but she was very polite with us. The coffees were not particularly tasty and on the tray, which I assume was used by many people, the cookies that accompanied our drinks were lying naked, which did not make a good impression on me at all.

Lovely place to feel the spirit of the city sitting next to the road. Tomato soup was lovely and cheese. Quick service Minuses: quite expensive and a lot of people smoke around you

Location and hot chocolate – excellent! Unfortunately, the table wasn't cleared of crumbs and milk left by the previous diners before we arrived, nor even after we'd been seated for a while. We ended up wiping it ourselves with a tissue. The slice of cheesecake was also far too expensive at €6.50 for its size.

What a lovely location and a relaxed atmosphere in the sunshine - good service, friendly guys. Recommended for a drink!

A cool, atmospheric pub. Late '80s/'90s style. It was nice to hang out. A bit cramped. Overall, it was okay.

Not very special. Tough pancake, it was boiling hot, and no window could be opened. Fast though, and reasonable prices.

We were here 30 years ago and wanted to relive the memories. We succeeded; we felt very comfortable. The food was good and reasonably priced. The service was very friendly and efficient. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Great spot to grab a drink or two on the outdoor patio while you watch the boats sail by. The staff was great and very helpful.

Pleasant place to sit. Large terrace. Good prices. Friendly service.

We found this restaurant by accident and so so happy we did, what a great little hidden spot!

The service is a disaster. Neither attentive nor friendly, etc. You wait forever just to order. The organization is appalling. It starts with the fact that when the ordered coffee arrives, no one asks if you'd like food; instead, they chat or stare into space. We waited ages. The food was nothing special. My pancake was cold, and the eggs with bread were okay but dry. You can tell you're paying less here than in other places. It shows in the quality. The fact is, I wouldn't recommend anyone go here. There are better restaurants. At other tables, guests got up and left because they weren't served. Waiters came with drinks and food, and no one knew who had ordered them. As I said, the service is unfortunately a disaster. Staffing problems seem to be a real issue here. The location is great, and the atmosphere is really inviting, but the lack of service wastes a lot of potential.

I’ve been coming here since my student days, about 50 years ago. I’m glad I don’t live in Amsterdam, but whenever I am, I always make sure to stop by. And the atmosphere still seems the same. A good Amsterdam pub in a great location. It’s a nice place for foreigners too. It’s convenient for them that there is multinational staff.

Very nice pub next to Rijksmuseum

Very friendly atmosphere. Excellent cocktails! And excellent service, top-notch staff!

Authentic Dutch food: best apple and cheese pancake ever!! Real espresso 💖Good prices for Amsterdam and solid menu. The staff were helpful

Loved sitting outside here having breakfast. Friendly waitresses.

A nicely decorated, attractive tourist restaurant on the Spiegelgracht. I found the drink prices a bit off-putting (10 euros for a large beer). However, the food was perfectly tasty and the atmosphere cozy.

Advantage: Near the Reich Museum. Disadvantage: Very cramped. Very limited selection and the staff clears plates quickly as soon as they're empty. Drink prices are far too high.

Super good service and super delicious food!!

This was an excellent place in Amsterdam; we had dinner here and it was very tasty. The staff was also excellent. Definitely recommended!

Super delicious food. Super service. Good price.

The food was very tasty, the service was very good, with a big thank you to the bartender and the wait staff. On behalf of the students on the school trip

Nice Amsterdam pub... you can also sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere.

I had Caesar salad and orange juice and if I remember well from the menu it was 15+4,50eur, but I paid 29eur by my banking. On the terminal vas 21 and I think the man said 21 too. In that moment I did not catch it and just pay, but after a while it clicked in my brain that the bank notification said 29e.. Everything else was good, but this. Check the recipe and terminal well before pay and do not be stupid like me to just trust…

Good food and service, great atmosphere

Slow service and lack of communication and skipping the orders of clients. Waiting for coffee 25 minutes and waiting to pay 15 minutes when you ask for waiter they say that colleague outside will help but they don’t so sorrow and bad time and orders management

There were 930 and they're still setting up tables.

Very genuine and local restaurant. Service and food was great, and loved the staff! Great taste of Amsterdam!

Nice staff and a pleasant environment

Very cozy café close to the Rijksmuseum and Bloemenmarkt. I enjoyed my dutch pancake outside in the sun. Dogs were welcome and was offered a water bowl!

On our last day in Amsterdam, we discovered this fantastic place next to the Riskmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, etc. We really enjoyed the food and the service from the guy who served us; speaking Spanish made things much easier. A typical Dutch place. The only downside, and the reason we're not giving it 5 stars for atmosphere, is that the tables were a bit too close together. Otherwise, it was a 10 out of 10!

Grat food and location. Service like a true Dutch place, so non-existent. Direct and rude, makes you feel like the dumb one, even if you’re tired of waiting for service. Really a must-try for tourists! Get the real experience of the Dutch! Recommendable!

The food is quite good, the atmosphere is nice, and the service is good. Only the prices are a bit high.

Minke served me 2 Chardonnay’s today. She was the sweetest and friendliest person, she definitely deserves a raise

It was the first time I wanted to have a drink and enjoy the view, but the lady working there was angry, unfriendly, and very aggressive and rude. She also didn't speak Dutch when I came in; she looked very angry. It's a shame for such a nice cafe. I had to experience this.

This is a turist trap. I had a reservation and was sent to the second floor where the menu is very limited. Service was ok but price/quality ratio was terrible. Avoid

The bar is quaint and ideally located. Service could be better. It's okay.

The food is good, the service is fast. The building happened to pop into the frame while I was taking a random photo. Then I thought, why not try it? The food is just as good as the exterior of the building.

Simple Dutch dishes; we had apple pancakes at coffee time. However, at around €17 per portion, it was a bit pricey. But the views of the canal were lovely.

The smoked salmon sandwich was absolutely amazing!!! So fresh and delicious

I just had a coffee outside...That was okay.

Great Dutch experience. Brilliant atmosphere and first time trying the local cuisine Bitterballen.

An interesting place, delicious and fast. Judging by the number of customers, it's popular. However, there was a smoky smell inside. Overall, the place left a positive impression. We ordered bacon and eggs, coffee, and croissants. The croissants were very fresh and delicious. The bacon and eggs were served on toasted bread. The staff was pleasant and prompt.

Great chicken ceasar salad! Lovely table with canal view. Good service.

Just had a quick drink. Very cozy cafe, friendly service. Absolutely fantastic! I'll definitely be back for a bite to eat.

Such great service! The server Daniil was amazing and helped us so much. He gave great recommendations and was overall an attentive & fantastic server! And he’s soooooo cute 😍 can’t wait to go back!

Came here 3 times within one week because the coffee, pancakes and eggs were so good! Also, the tall waiter who speaks four languages was so lovely, we had him 2 times and he was very kind and made the experience great

Excellent location Best Caesar salad in Amsterdam Friendly waiters Good value for money

We came here for a beer. The server didn't see us at first and then brought us an alcoholic beer instead of a non-alcoholic one, claiming we hadn't asked for it. It was eventually replaced. The service needs improvement. We were also overcharged.

Great stop for food and drinks after walking around the Rijksmuseum.

We were very smart and went on a boat tour after having had a lot of beers. After an hour and a half floating through the canals, on the verge of a bladder explosion, I was about to pee myself when I saw this place. I went straight to the bathroom, it was heaven. Then heaven continued at the table when I ordered a Pornstar Martini.

Finally, a place in Amsterdam that serves good quality coffee!!! A huge plus tables outside on a sunny day!

Tourist trap, everything ugly and expensive

The Caesar salad was delicious and very filling. The red wine was very good. The atmosphere is fine if you don't mind being surrounded by other diners talking loudly but having a great time. We will definitely return if we go back to Amsterdam.

Overrated, expensive, and they serve beers with way too much foam and hardly any carbonation. The decor is great.

They are very friendly and kind. Its not the same as north America pan cake, and shaped a crepe, but dish is good to have experience.

Very nice bar, friendly staff and cosy atmosphere

Beautiful place, excellent food, very pleasant atmosphere

Eating from real plates, with goog knifes and forks. No disposible items. Sandwich was with very tasty and fresh products. Cosy atmosphere.

Cozy pub/eatery The grilled steak (at my request) was wonderfully tender. Top chef.

The cappuccino they serve is terrible. It's just coffee with foam on it. So, not recommended.

Our pancake was warmed up in the microwave. Disgusting.

Tiny, but that makes it very nice. Friendly owner, delicious pastries.

Fantastic place for breakfast in Amsterdam...!!!

A lovely old style restaurant. Definitely worth a visit

We didn't eat there, we were there for a drink, and the service was super friendly
