Hortus café (The Orangery) in Weesperbuurt/Plantage

Normally I don’t give bad review but at this beautiful cafe next to the botanical garden makes me feel unwelcome :) We are there waiting for half an hour and the staff just ignore us and then just take order to the table next to us who came more late :/ I don’t understand and it’s not busy at that time since I saw the waitress was wondering around aimlessly:) in the end we just leave even though we are planning to have nice drinks.

Eco-friendly menu, elegant presentation, and delicious food. Original drinks. Reasonable prices. Perfect after visiting the botanical garden!

What a fascinating tree inside the cafe! The bloom power is really good.

They told me they would come to me at the table when I asked if I should order at the front. They never came. But they let me friend order at the front and then it took 30min for her food to come out and they never brought her coffee.

Wonderful place — what a shame they’ve clearly never heard of customer service. Two items were unavailable from an already very limited menu. They managed to mess up our lemonade order twice, and not a single apology. Beautiful location, disappointing experience.

Extremely reasonable pricing, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and prompt service, although the food itself took a while to come out. An excellent way to additionally patronize the gardens!

Delicious and fresh food. The service is very slow, though. I recommend it for people who have the time.

Friendly staff. The vegan blondie and the wild iced tea were very tasty.

Beautiful place with lots of light, you can also sit outside, small menu but perfectly fine, when it's busy you have to wait a bit for service, but you can take your time there.. the Hortus is a place to take it easy.

Inspired me to make better salads at home! Beautiful cafe. Jam on toast with lashings of jam was a highlight for our son. Me? I loved the rhubarb pickles in the feta and asparagus salad.

There were sharp shards of glass in the cappuccino, on the bottom of the glass. Very dangerous.

This café, Hortus Café (The Orangery), is located right in Amsterdam's Botanical Garden (Hortus Botanicus). I went there for a coffee, and it was good. The service at this café is excellent. They are very friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is wonderful, being located in the Botanical Garden. The atmosphere in this café is very relaxing. The decor also suits the café perfectly. Highly recommended.

a really cute cafe in the botanical gardens, we really appreciated that the whole menu was vegetarian and had clearly marked vegan options! all our food and drinks were great, we had the soup of the day, a grilled cheese, two coffees and homemade iced tea and they were all delicious! very friendly servers as well :)

Great service with a smile from the incredibly handsome guy with the reddish-brown hair. And delicious hot chocolate! Too bad there wasn't any vegan whipped cream.

Today we enjoyed an excellent Jerusalem artichoke quiche. Staff very friendly! Older review: A beautiful location for sitting outside or in to enjoy a drink, a snack or a meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the pasta with homemade walnut pesto followed by a lemon meringue pie from patisserie Kuyt. Prices not particularly low (and you have to pay entrance to the Hortus) but the food and location are both worth it. It can get very busy at lunchtimes. Check the website about opening times for dinner (at the time of writing Thursday & Sunday).

We ordered one lactose-free cappuccino and one regular cappuccino. The waitress mixed them up when he brought them to us. Not ideal when you're lactose intolerant.

Friendly service and delicious apple pie

Warm and welcoming service in a beautiful and peaceful setting, allowing you to savor every ray of Dutch autumn sunshine. The quiche and salad were exceptional, and the ginger orangeade was very subtle.

Food is very good. Service is not existent.

Service could be more alert, we had to wait a while before someone came to take our order

Beautiful spot in the Hortus Botanicus. Busy today and a bit short-staffed. Delicious watermelon salad.

The atmosphere is nice of course, how can nature be not nice. But the management of this place is absolutely horrible. I had a wedding celebration for 11. I wanted to increase the number to 12 and no matter how much I as the bride begged to them, they did not want to help us. This is really very antisocial and they should be ashamed of themselves (this goes to Ramon ten Zende, Head of Catering).

A hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam! The restaurant in the Botanical Garden offers a truly wonderful atmosphere — surrounded by greenery. The service was exceptional: attentive, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. I had the daily quiche, which was absolutely delicious, and the apple pie was simply outstanding — one of the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommended for a relaxing and tasty lunch break.

Very pretty cafe in the botanical garden

Very good restaurant, varied menu and quality products. The restaurant's setting is magnificent, but be aware that it is reserved for visitors to the botanical garden.

Not the cheapest catering establishment in Amsterdam but in a beautiful location. In the garden you can sit quietly and read -- unless there are elderly ladies chatting loudly with each other. Ask them politely to speak a little more quietly. And intervene if fellow visitors are sitting or walking on the phone: this is one of Amsterdam's few quiet places.

Stopped in for a quick glass of wine. Lovely outdoor seating by the conservatory.

nice place for lunch!! After a walk in the garden you can sit on a terrace (or inside) the toast with pea spread and the chai were very tasty!

A peaceful spot with a fine little menu.

Very pleasant staff. An incredible soup of the day (carrots, orange). A free hot drink if purchased with entry to the botanical garden (not great for the botanical garden!)

Poor service, left before eating because we were ignored for so long

Waited 10 minutes to have our presence acknowledged, then once we ordered it took another 25 minutes for our open cheese sandwiches to come out - we were the only patrons the whole time, so no excuse of being busy. No explanation offered. While the coffees were nice enough, they were tiny. The wait staff were far more invested in their conversation than serving. The sandwiches were extremely underwhelming.

Delicious firm brownie and tasty chai latte (with oat milk). Blankets available outside. Very friendly service. Highchairs available and there is a changing table in the toilet.

Nice interier, nice staff and amazing cakes. It took us few minutes of waitig to get a table but it was worth it.

Well, Danphie is of course a dirty gossiping hardworking cutie, Rene is the toughest man I have ever met in my life. Carlo is the guy who makes the panties come off and to call clever Jasper's analyzes legendary would be an understatement. Then there are Karin, Radi, Jeroen and Monique, I want to get rid of them. But so was the orangery!!!

Excellent lunch in the botanical garden.. delicious soup and salad of the day.. healthy and genuine..

Very quiet and relaxed cafe. Moderate prices for Amsterdam and a nice vegetarian offering. Here we were able to switch off and relax.

Casual cafe in a beautiful surroundings. Good sandwiches and coffee.

Service and atmosphere are great, but go there only for coffee and cake because dishes are small and expensive.

Lovely little cafe in the botanical garden. It was fully busy on a Sunday morning so better to be early or reserve if possible. The food was absolutely delicious with great service and atmosphere!!!

The food was phenomenal, I got the side salad. Service was great and can't beat the aesthetic!

Delicious food-wholesome, tasty and good value. Beautiful seating area among the trees. Nice staff. However can get very busy but worth waiting for.

The main greenhouse is closed for renovations. Without it there is no point in visiting the botanical garden. 13.5 € is not worth it now

Enjoyed the daily sweet potato and fennel soup as well as the Gulpener beer on tap. Sat in the evening sun after a relaxing walk in the Botanical garden. The longer opening hours on a Sunday was a welcome bonus.

A lovely end to walking around the garden!

Lovely, peaceful and great place for an escape in the middle of the city.

Upon entering you almost imagine yourself in a 19th century setting. It is beautiful, attractive and spacious. Good lighting, open but still cozy. I had the best latte machiato ever here. The staff are friendly and professional.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy the garden

super good and affordable! the waitresses are very nice 😊

It has a charm that other cafes don't have. The decoration is simple but extremely pretty, and the coffees and sweets are incredible. The waffle cake is simply delicious. The price of the cakes is €5.50 and the coffee is €3.80, more or less. The cheesecake, lemon and white chocolate would have been great if it weren't for the bitter almond in the cookie 🙄

Very attentive staff and delicious cheesecake! The homemade lemonade was really great too

Be mindful that this place is located in botanical gardens so you need to buy ticket to enter (13€). All the dishes we got at the cafe were flavorful and delicious; fresh and healthy ingredients. Overall dining experience was very peaceful and made me happy :)

Good food in a beautiful setting.

Nice place and friendly staff. Unfortunately very few vegan plant based options, which I find disappointing especially for a place like hortus in terms of sustainability.

Good quality coffee, amazing view even inside during winter months.

Enjoyed some very tasty food here, both the soup and veggie lasagne were great. Incredibly beautiful surroundings, highly recommend this place!

I think the orangery is the coffee spot in the Hortus botanicus. Although it is a pleasant place, I think the service still needs a little bit of training. There was a special service by a Belgian young man who I really liked. The apple pie and chocolate milk were great. The cappuccino was also very tasty

No one seated us when we walked in even there were several of staff watching us.

Situated within the botanical gardens, the cafe impresses with a well-curated selection of dishes that are as fresh as the surroundings. The overall dining experience is elevated by the peaceful ambiance, making it a standout bistro that's worth a visit for its flavorful and diverse offerings.

Good service and nice location, but very pricey, especially if you have also paid admission for the Hortus.

The service was slow and it took a lot of time to get the staff’s attention. We were never asked about any allergens and were served food full of nuts. The chocolate brownie was cold. Hard to cut and very chewy. The Tony’s Chocaloney Hot Chocolate sounded amazing but was average at best. And the cola we were served was not Coca Cola, but some random brand which tasted terrible. The nicest thing we had was the banana muffin which tasted pretty standard. Sadly would not recommend. Although the botanical gardens are beautiful and very worth visiting!

We got the last table in the place around 15:00. I would come here again just for this dirty chai latte and carrot cake! YUM.

Delicious avocado toast. Nice, peaceful and relaxing place with friendly attentive staff.

Veel gezonde opties, tussen het groen, vriendelijke service.

Nice place in a middle of a botanic garden. Shadow and sun. Nice choice of drink. Don't know about food.

O café localiza-se dentro do Hortus. É um lugar bem aconchegante para tomar um bom café e desfrutar uma comida bem feita. Vale a pena

Op zichzelf een hele fijne plek om te gaan zitten in deze prachtige Hortus Botanicus. De cappuccino van Boot, branders uit Baarn, was van uitmuntende kwaliteit. Ook op het gebak van een lokale patisserie viel niets aan te merken. De werkhouding van sommige medewerkers was voor verbetering vatbaar en de prijs van een stukje taart navenant hoog (€5,90!).

Nice place for a coffee in the botanical garden!

The Hortus is well worth a visit for anyone with an interest in plants. The cafe is very good value and quality

Yum! Loved the feta watermelon salad. Lovely location. Table service was quick. Lots of yummy things on the menu. Really enjoyed it. Shame you can only get to it once you've paid to get into the garden.

We went in for a coffee and quick snack but it ended up taking about an hour. It was nice still, but a waste of time a bit.

Délicieux café et limonade maison

We enjoyed the teas and snacks here. Would have liked to explore the garden but it was raining too much

Temps long, personnel désagréable

Nice shady spot under umbrellas at the garden to relax and have a drink and a bite to eat (perhaps cooling down after being in the hot green houses 😁)

Absolutely gorgeous place, nice service also

The service was pathetic. We called someone twice before our order was taken.

Quite expensive but very nice, local cakes

Heerlijke, rustige plek. Effe weg van de drukte. Puur genieten van mooie planten, bomen, vlinders en heerlijke cappuccino!

Das Café liegt im Botanischen Garten. Dadurch ist es sehr idyllisch und ruhiger als in der Amsterdamer Innenstadt. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und schön angerichtet. Das Personal ist freundlich und die Preise für Amsterdam Verhältnisse überaus fair. Klare Empfehlung für jene, die ein ruhiges Fleckchen mitten in Amsterdam suchen!

I don't know if the staff were all new employees or just not trained enough but they completely ignored the tables further away from the café. It took them 15 minutes to clean our table and take our order. We had to wait even more to pay.

Lunch in the hortus botanical garden after strolling through the gardens ... Great experience. Try the dish of the day as suggested.
