GEORGE W.P.A. in Museumkwartier

Best place in Amsterdam for Ravioli!!! Loved it! Super nice sunny terrace close to Vondelpark, would definitely recommend 🩷

We had a delicious meal on one of the nicest terraces in Amsterdam; highly recommended, everything was absolutely top-notch.

Great food and ambience ! Sophie was an amazing help and we really enjoyed our experience

Zuzy helped us out tremendously!

We had a lovely meal and received excellent service from Sophie!

Above and beyond across the board! Max was wonderful as well!

Great food, friendly service and a great spot to sit in the sun.

I’ve been going to George WPA for 13 years and live just down the street. Service has always been okay, but this visit was genuinely disappointing. I completely understand when a restaurant is busy and food takes longer. But don’t leave the dessert menu on the table and then never come back to take the order. When dessert finally arrived, there wasn’t even a spoon or fork. Every time we ordered a bottle of cold sparkling water, it arrived warm. The burger came without ketchup or mayo, and our server was unfriendly and rude. I can overlook someone not being particularly friendly, but combined with poor and inattentive service, it made the whole experience frustrating. After 13 years of coming here, I expected much better.

Excellent service. Great food. Thanks Max for making us have a special nite.

Very good food and good service from Max, everything was great

Visiting from NY, great place, great food and ambiance. Max was a great waiter. I will recommend this place.

Lovely, relaxed dining experience with great bistro-style menu. Staff were lovely, especially our main server, Max

Had a delicious meal, received super service from Max!

Good service from Max!! tasty food

Max provided good service and was very attentive.

Max is great! Received good help.

Always a pleasure, and thank-you again for taking good care of us. Music indoors a little loud, but otherwise another great George success. Merci!

The food is spectacular. The atmosphere is typically Amsterdam and cozy! Super friendly staff, especially Max and Sieb; they are very customer-focused and customer-friendly! I honestly haven't seen such customer-friendly people in a long time.

Despite going with my wife for lunch on a very busy Sunday, the service was flawless. The staff were fast, polite, and professional. I don't understand why it has such low ratings. The flavors are excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the customer service is top-notch. Definitely make a reservation, otherwise you won't find a table. I recommend it, try it, I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Thank you.

Had a great evening and Heleen helped me fantastically!!!

We had a delicious meal and a super nice, friendly waitress. Heleen made our evening extra special!

Good Sevrice, Friendly staff and Martijn is the best manager !

Really nice food, perfect location and very friendly staff, especially Martijn

Thanks Naomi, Rosa, Lisa, Loveday, Leah, Liz, Anna, and all the other gems in the service team. It is a party every single time.

Received incredibly helpful service, good coffee, and a nice atmosphere. Martijn gave me great advice for a delicious lunch!

Had a really nice evening, especially the service from manager Martijn was very nice and pleasant! The food was great!

I went out for dinner here with my sister and we had a truly wonderful evening. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, and the service is incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and everything was beautifully presented. You can tell that a lot of attention is paid to quality and hospitality. Definitely recommended if you want to eat well in Amsterdam. We will absolutely be back here again! Super service by Martijn & Naomi

Best staff and the food it’s amazing

Martijn, incredibly hospitable!!!

Shockingly awesome food! After a long day we just wanted an easy in and out place to have dinner! We had a lovely time and the service was five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious food and a beautiful large terrace

Food was not good! Pasta no taste, kids food cold

I am left deeply disappointed after my dinner here. The food was completely tasteless and too overpriced for its quality. The carbonara was the worst I have ever had the spaghetti was dry and the taste was missing. My friend order a fish which was full of bones. The waitress forgot about our main course so we waited an eternity until we asked about it and then she fired it to the kitchen. The staff is very dull and doesn’t deliver quality service besides one blonde girl who was always smiling. A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY! Don’t get fooled by the popularity of the restaurant.

Restaurant has a great atmosphere, it’s unfortunate the service is extremely slow and poor. We had to wait 45 mins for our main course and and about the same time just to get a glass of wine.

We were with a large group of colleagues. Everyone could order à la carte and everything arrived at the same time. The food was good and the service friendly and helpful.

The hygiene at George W.P.A. leaves much to be desired. During our visit, we were served a ketchup bottle that was incredibly dirty and rancid around the cap. These kinds of basic things are simply supposed to be clean. Unfortunately, this inspires very little confidence in the rest of the hygiene and the kitchen. Not recommended.

A very relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The dish was very tasty and well-presented.

It’s a cute restaurant with shitty service and ok food. Four parties seated after us received their drinks/meals/apps before we were even acknowledged. Lots of other great restaurants in the area with much better service and food.

Good food, but it takes too long to serve it.

First time we did a late afternoon here. Excellent.

Martijn was an absolute sweetheart. So considerate and gave us the warmest welcome. He found us a table where chances were so slim WITH a huge smile on his face. The food is amazing, the staff is so welcoming. Genuinely made our experience such a special one. Will definitely be coming back

Very friendly waitresses. Food was fine, though unfortunately there was no side dish with the sole. It was quite echoey inside, plus the music was too loud, making conversation difficult. We went to sit outside and that was much better, including nice heaters!

It wasn't due to the fact that we were eating outside. The steak frites dish was already cold when it was 'placed'. Moreover, the cold steak was tough, and the non-vegetarians in the party exchanged uncomfortable glances while chewing. The red wine with the main course never arrived. No 'love affair' this visit to George W.P.A., as the website promised us. George let us down.

Had a super delicious meal and top-notch service! The profiteroles were especially good!

Had a delicious meal at wpa! The steak was very good. Martijn the host was amazing.

Had delicious spaghetti prawns and ratatouille!

Nice location, somewhat interesting menu, but many of the menu items were not available. My spaghetti carbonara was so mediocre...

Always come back for the tuna and for Martijn 🩵 great place with lovely staff, been to all 3 George’s but I really think this one is the best in Oud Zuid

Not every place has to accommodate someone else's ego.

Our server was great and great food

If you are owner, you should fire half of your staff, terrible service, incompetent, inadequate, if you want to be taken advantage of go to this place where they will charge you high price and give you terrible service in exchange. You all should be ashamed of the business you are running

Had a wonderful time having drinks and food! Martijn is a top-notch host who immediately makes us feel at ease and provides great support to his team. A very pleasant atmosphere, with Sophie standing out among the serving staff; what a nice and skilled young woman, fantastic. We will definitely be back soon!

We really enjoy a nice lunch at the terrace !

Food was delivered late and we almost missed our further engagement despite advising the team repeatedly. The food was so-so.

Terrible service; slow; unexperienced dont go here

The food was good. Table service was also pleasant and helpful. Two missed opportunities: I had to ask to hang up my coat myself, and there was no standard bread on the table. Some bread would certainly have been appropriate with our starter. Returning our coats was also eventually done with little enthusiasm.

Amazing staff , problem solving and kind

George is a nice place to have lunch, with a pleasant terrace where you can sit comfortably. You are welcomed warmly and the staff is helpful, which contributes to a relaxed experience. Additionally, the location is easily accessible, especially if you come by car. The food is what you have come to expect from George: consistent and reliable, without surprises. All in all, a good and accessible lunch spot.

Unfortunately, a total disappointment. Judging by the other guests, you'd think people come for the good food or service. Sadly, both were a complete letdown. The bottle of wine was carelessly placed in a bucket on the floor, and after the appetizer, we waited an hour and a half for the steak tartare. The service was far too young and, in my opinion, completely lacked any sense of what's important. Friends of the staff lounged on the chairs next to us and put their filthy shoes on top of them – absolutely no manners. For the prices they charge, you can't really expect much else.

We expected a fine dining experience, but unfortunately were disappointed. The service was inattentive, and the waiting time between the starter and the main course was around 1.5 hours. It was particularly disappointing that there seemed to be no clearly assigned staff; the service felt uncoordinated, almost like an anthill without any clear structure. The bottle of wine we ordered was served warm and simply placed on the table without comment. Only after asking did we receive an ice bucket, which arrived late and was placed on the floor. The tartare itself was good, but after being served for tasting and requesting a bit more seasoning, we had to wait another 15 minutes. Overall, the restaurant gives the impression of “more show than substance.” Considering the prices and the expectations set by the menu, we cannot recommend it.

The service was friendly but lacking in substance. No mention was made of the fact that seasonal dishes were available in addition to the menu. The fact that there was no sparkling 0.0 but a disgusting tea was offered as an alternative was considered normal, and no fries were served afterwards. The waiter had lost his tongue. On the other hand, there was plenty of pepper sauce.

Some places think they are better than they are. You just keep getting a whiff of complacency! This is one of them...... and it's not the food, which is decent, but the service. I've mentioned this in other posts but respect for the client is critical. Not too much attention, but definitely enough. The crew here were all younger and really need a little more leadership and discipline from a mature individual. A lack of attention to detail and general enthusiasm would sum it up, which leads to a less than great experience and general delay in ordering, clearing tables and food arrival. There are other places in Amsterdam which would have equally good food but give you a better experience.

Food was good but service was amazing. Thank you to our server Aviva! Wonderfully attentive and kind

I haven't eaten this badly in ages. We were back outside within 30 minutes, including for a main course. The service was unfriendly, and the stomach pain both of us had after the meal was not okay.

Great service from Lea, our glass was never empty and we had an amazing time!!!

What a rubbish place after waiting almost 45 minutes for a drink and seeing staff running around with no idea where the order was supposed to go. But I left empty-handed. Staff arrogant and completely blind to service

Just a mediocre lunch for the place and the money. A hamburger without any toppings, just a bun with a piece of meat, no fries, no tomato, no lettuce. The pasta with prawns was tasteless. Had expected a bit more class.

The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, we were served by Lea, very friendly girl, attentive, and quick to help, she really makes you feel valued as a guest. Food is good but nothing out of the ordinary, just regular bistro dishes.

Terrible slow service, mediocre food, 50% nice staff & 50% rude, better places to go to in the area. Cute for drinks though if you have hours to wait.

I have been 3-4 times. Average time it takes for your starters to arrive is around 1.5 hours. Main course: suspense. Plan accordingly. Food is average. Service is really really bad everytime. Antipathetic communications. Avoid if possible. If you ask me why I have been numerous times: because I haven’t found another place for a good sunny day. Starting today, I will.

Beautiful terrace with amazing staff…. Personal touch and the dishes are top-notch! Would love to come back again soon!👌👌

Naomi, you're a star. Greetings from Nijmegen

Had a nice meal with my girlfriend. Good atmosphere, friendly service, and served by Léa, who speaks pretty good Dutch for someone who isn't from around here. Food not amazing, but okay.

Nice place, great food and de waitress Lea was absolutely wonderful

I’ve been here often, it is always lovely but today, Rosa made it especially nice. Thanks for the great lunch.

Yesterday I dined at George WPA in Amsterdam, and I have rarely had such a disappointing dining experience. After placing our order, we had to wait well over an hour and a half for the food. In the meantime, we inquired several times, each time being assured that it was “on its way.” However, transparency or apologies were lacking. When the food was finally served, the quality also turned out to be far below par. The steak (tornado), ordered medium well done, was completely overcooked, making it dry and tasteless. Given the extreme wait, I ate it anyway, but this falls far short of the level one would expect from an establishment like George. The Caesar salad was likewise substandard: visually unappealing and completely lacking in flavor. Furthermore, the service left much to be desired. There was little attention, no sense of hospitality, and not a single attempt to resolve the situation professionally or to compensate for it. The conclusion is clear: George WPA seems to be positioning itself more as a place for a drink in the sun, rather than a restaurant where quality and service take center stage. For a serious dinner, there are significantly better alternatives in Amsterdam. Very disappointing, and absolutely the last time for me.

Delicious food. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice in the restaurant, but also outside! Definitely recommended.

A restaurant with a large terrace, perfect for sunny days. The service was incredibly friendly, checking if everything was alright and engaging in conversation in a very relaxed atmosphere. The clientele is a bit snobbish but fun. The food was excellent; we had prawns with lobster bisque that were absolutely delicious. The grilled chicken with a truly spectacular wine sauce and the sea bass were delicious. Highly recommended.

good, fast service and friendly staff

Nice food and atmosphere, but I didn’t like that sparkling water was placed on the table and added to the bill without clearly asking first. Charging for water is fine, but this should be transparent. It left a negative impression.

We always order fish, and it is always very good. One of my favourite easygoing, everyday bistros in Amsterdam.

Scandalous service; were glared at by an English-speaking girl; a complete disregard for politeness or decency. Sighing and a stormy expression. It bothered us so much that we, with tables around us, just had to laugh about it out of embarrassment. We spoke to the manager, who himself forgot the bottle of wine again. Nothing further was done about it; no compensation or form of understanding, brushed off with a sorry, and when settling the bill they even asked “was it resolved satisfactorily..?” ..... 4 regular guests will never return, a shadow of its former glory

Yesterday, I took a best friend to your terrace for a nice lunch. I visit you often, but I haven't been this disappointed with your service in ages. First of all, I had made a reservation where I had to wait for a table. Then, it took at least 15 minutes before I had to signal someone myself to place an order. During lunch, no one came to our table on their own initiative to take an order, pick up food, or check if everything had arrived. On top of that, half a glass of champagne was spilled on me by the waitress; of course, this can happen, but all in all, it was a huge letdown and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Making mistakes is human and forgiving is divine Something went wrong, but it was resolved neatly Had a delicious meal and drinks and a pleasant atmosphere

The saddest steak frites I’ve ever had. Watery cocktails. The steak didn’t even come prepared like I asked, it was overdone, and the whole meal was cold, even the fries. Service was also lacking, the only good thing was the atmosphere. Wouldn’t dine here again especially for the price 😕

Food came cold, waitresses don’t care if you’re sat or leaving, but location and vibes is good because you are the vibe !

Kayja is the best waitress , the service was amazing. You gotta go to this place .

Katja, was superb! Excellent service, great food and wonderful atmosphere. Thank you!

George W.P.A. is a popular restaurant located near the lovely Vondelpark. George was one of the few places left to celebrate last year's New Years Eve so we were very excited about the experience. Simply put, the food is good but I can't help but feel like it misses something. Our experience was pretty nice! We had a less busy and more private table at the end of the restaurant which was very nice. The menu is pretty extensive with lots of options and the food was pretty good as well! The duck was a tad bit cold but nonetheless very tender and juicy. One thing I didn't expect, was the amount of room the restaurant has to offer. It's incredible to see but I feel like it's also the reason why me and others leave George with the feeling that it misses that final edge. The service was very friendly and worked hard to make sure everyone felt at ease but at times made small mistakes that disrupted the rhythm and experience. Wrong drinks sent to the table, missed part of the order, not knowing how the terminal worked, broken glass on the table and guests, forgetting orders etc. Don't get me wrong, I understand it was New Years Eve, the place was bustling and everyone did their best! But it seems as if the sheer size of the restaurant is too much for the staff to handle which leads to small but avoidable mistakes. George has a lot to offer and there is a reason why it's popular with its demographic. The staff is friendly, food is pretty good and the location is great! It just misses that final thing to make the experience as great as it could be! A restaurant with lot's of potential and I hope they can achieve it.

For a delicious steak tartare with a nice glass of Beaujolais in a pleasant atmosphere, head to George W.P.A. on Willemsparkweg. Highly recommended!

Nice terrace to hang out in good weather. We had small bites and they were ok (nothing special)..

We had a Reservation and still had to wait 20 min to get a table, continuing with the slowest service and wrong order

Ok food, although pricey. At that price level you expect good if not great food, and impeccable service. Fries dumped onto the same plate as a juicy steak does not meet that standard by a long shot. Slow, inattentive service doesn't help. A lot of hot air, probably dictated by the posh neighborhood. Not my scene per se, but if the dining experience fails so hard, the hot air makes for a cold "never again".

What a wonderful lunch today, lovely peace and atmosphere

Overall rather average. I’ve been here several times and the food was consistently okay but nothing special. Unfortunately, the service was quite inattentive. There’s a lot of room for improvement.

Friendly, professional staff, beautiful restaurant. Good with food allergies. I called ahead to discuss my food allergies with the helpful chef. On the day itself, I discussed the dish with Chef M, which went smoothly. The chef knows his craft, and I had a delicious and safe meal. Ho mangiato gustoso e sicuro, grazie! Alla prossima volta!

A lovely restaurant in Oud Zuid. Delicious food, original dishes, and delicious wines. Highly recommended.

Me and my girlfriend had a very romantic dinner on a snowy winter evening. Friendly staff and would recommend the lobster Thermidor.

Avoid this vastly overpriced restaurant, unless maybe you're after just a salad and a glass of wine. The food served us was abysmal, untimely and those preparing the food had to have known what they were serving up. That says much about the place.

Food was overcooked and overpriced - we were charged for absolutely everything - even €7.50 for tap water! Service was slow and they kept forgetting different dishes… never received our salads, never received spoons or bowls for mussels, had to send the cod back because it was truly inedible. Much of the food was over salted. The they tried to get us to add lots of service to the bill. Really disappointing and left feeling scammed.
