Kanteen25 in Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken

Great place for drinks! Excellent menu!

Had lunch at Kanteen25 on New Year's Eve. It was wonderfully quiet, the tartare sandwich and the croque monsieur were delicious. Friendly service.

Great food, nice atmosphere inside. The location is incorrect on Maps, which is why we were initially in the wrong place. I'd suggest fixing it quickly; people need to find this!

Accidentally discovered this place when a Meet-up event was hosted here by a third party. Kanteen25 is a sizeable venue that leaves plenty of room for all the guests, the staff working behind the bar were brilliant and nice and decorations give it a warm and cozy atmosphere!

It was a really good place, enough space for everyone, not too loud, the service is fast and the people are kind ! The dishes are really nice and they have prices for students! I definitely recommend 🙂

We had a wonderful meal at Kanteen25! We got to try the new seasonal menu and it was a real treat! Before we started the menu, we also ordered the oysters, and wow, they were delicious and huge! We had the lobster bisque and the mushroom parfait to finish, a particularly tasty and light way to start your meal. The main courses were venison and duck breast, and I've rarely had such delicious venison 😍. It was perfectly prepared and melted in your mouth. You MUST try the potatoes as a side dish; I can only say WOW! They were fried in duck fat, making them incredibly crispy and delicious. The fig tart for dessert perfectly rounded out the dinner; it wasn't too heavy and tasted wonderful. Highly recommended to book a table; great atmosphere and delicious food, what more could you ask for? :)

Came with a group of colleagues. The potatoes and fish was superb. Recommended.

The place is nice and the staff are friendly. But it doesn't have enough variety for my taste.

The pizza Saturday is amazing! The chef knows what he is doing! I will be coming here every week now🤩😎 Good vibes and good food for every taste💫

Such a nice place to go and eat! First time o tried the lunch, and now I went here because of the Pizza Saturday. Whoever came up with this idea is a certified genius and should receive recognition for his or her brilliancy. It’s a compact menu with great tastes, which makes it more attractive to try, because it’s not too overwhelming and it begs for more. I will be coming back here more often, thank you!

This is the best place for us to end a day in Amsterdam. Nemo. Shipping. Parking in Oosterdok. The service is super friendly. Quiet, spacious layout. A convenient spot for our family with children aged 8 to 12.

There are restaurants where you're crammed together. Kanteen25 isn't like that; there was so much empty space that it almost felt a bit uninviting.

Excellent ambiance and service, maybe the menu should include some traditional dutch food and it will be perfect !

Beautiful location and a decent main course, but the service was terrible. I received a rotten oyster, and I've eaten oysters many times in my life, so I recognized this immediately. Even my dining companion smelled the foul odor. The staff reacted unapologetically and disinterestedly; the oyster was even on the bill and only removed after insisting. The dessert (banana crème brûlée) was also disappointing and we left it. Nice people, but unprofessional. I won't be back and don't recommend it.

Sat outside with a drink, then moved inside to eat. The food was truly delicious. The pointed cabbage that had just been added to the menu was a hit.

Standard food, some strange combinations. Like a salad, you actually get 1 kilo of potatoes in it ;) I understand this is a learning path restaurant, so... Definitely great for groups and a nice space for drinks. Tables are well spaced.

What a fantastic place! 🌟 Very dog-friendly 🐶💛 – which is, of course, super important to Frenkie. We had a wonderful time on the terrace, enjoyed a delicious meal, and enjoyed the drinks 🍽️🍷. The staff is friendly and very attentive 🙌, and the food was top-notch 👌. A nice bonus: there's a video arcade in the basement 🎮🎱. After dinner, play Pac-Man or a game of billiards with friends – how fun is that?! 🤩 In short: Kanteen25 is a place where you'll truly leave with a smile. 🌿🍻

Excellent place. Visited during Sail for a short visit. The tomato soup was great. Will definitely come back again

We had such a wonderful time at Kanteen 25! The atmosphere is great, but what really made our visit special was the service from Omer behind the bar. He was so friendly, attentive, and professional truly going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests. Thank you, Omer, for the excellent service and the warm hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back! greats, Stanlin en Daisy

Great place, staff friendly but not very professional. The dinner menu is too limited, desserts not great (banana creme brulee is not recommended), and coffee was served lukewarm.

We came in on a Saturday and the place was quite empty. I had the chicken and waffles and unfortunately, the fried chicken was a little raw in the middle. Much to my dismay, the waiter explained that the chicken is normally a little pink like this which was a strange explanation. Then, he reluctantly brought the chicken back to the chefs to heat up and was nice enough to offer a 10% discount on the dish. Overall, a SO-SO experience.

Your menu wasn’t activated by the qr code by 11:15 Friday August 8 2025.

Great food, stunning place. We shared platters of snacks and some drinks. Good bitterballen, ok-ish seafood plates. We had a great time, and would come back for happy hour any time

With my fried egg, I asked for a lettuce leaf or a tomato on my sandwich instead of ham and cheese. Impossible, as the kitchen staff is sitting around doing nothing, they apparently don't have the time or the ability to make this happen. The waffle with the chicken isn't homemade either, unfortunately.

We had a fantastic evening on your lovely terrace. Super friendly service, delicious food, and excellent cocktails. Definitely worth coming back!

There is a guy, Omer, a Very Smart and Nice guy, Omer, which served used with his smile on the face and kindness the entire time sitting there. For sure he deserve 5* stars. the food and the drinks were very good, especially his spicy cocktail. For sure I will return to this place because of all this. The place is very cozy and nice near the water :)

Very nice hidden gem just outside of the busy streets of Amsterdam Central. Stopped by for breakfast and was greeted by friendly staff and taken to a table. Would definately recommend you stop by and check out their new menu!

The time you need to wait for the quality of food you're getting is just insanely wrong

Pleasurable experience both visits, we will be back again tomorrow. Tasty, fresh food and best in class service. Very elegant chill vibe.

Organized our company party here. The communication was very good and everything we wanted was arranged by Kanteen. Definitely worth repeating

The food is delicious, the atmosphere and personnel are perfect. But the ambition to be sustainable is not sufficiently expressed in the menu, much too few vegan options.

Most underrated place in Amsterdam

Although the food was very very good, the service lacked. We weren’t seated, had to collect our own menus and were willing to spend more money but we did not have anyone ask us if we wished for more food or drinks. We asked for the drinks menu, which we were given, but then not asked what we wanted ? Also there is no aircon inside, which on a hot day, should be noted.

Really a very cool place, nice terrace with a view of Nemo. Delicious original dishes, super wine, friendly service

I visited the conference restaurant, a large spacious and clean restaurant. A pleasant place right on the coast.

We were a group of five, dining with guests we had invited for a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of expectations. For the first 15 minutes, no one brought us a menu. After we finally placed our order, we waited 45–60 minutes without receiving any food, not even the starters. Meanwhile, several tables that arrived after us were served before us. Oddly, our main courses were brought out before the starters, which arrived later. We ended up eating just bread for nearly an hour. While the staff eventually noticed the issue and offered an apology, the damage was already done. We genuinely regretted choosing this place, especially since it was a special occasion and we had recommended the restaurant to our guests.

The food was very tasty, but too expensive for the small amount. Unfortunately, the pizza menu is no longer available. I might try it sometime, but I would only recommend it for a snack and not for dinner.

Better to skip. Mediocre food and terrible service.

A quiet place, super comfortable, cozy, the food is very delicious, they don't have a big menu, which is what also makes them special.

Place is very nice and service is great. Staff is very accommodating to your needs. Food is great!

Very correct place with good decoration, fresh food, good staff and great location!

I loved eating here when I stayed at Rooms25. So many yummy options, lots of local folks. The deck is especially lovely. They have blankets if it gets chilly. The staff were all lovely.

Was with a group. The steak was great ,enough for 1 person . The dessert was ordinary , each group members cake was a different size , some missing the layers of a tira misu .

What a treat!! Went here after work with a few colleagues to hang out and unwind in the sun. We ended up ordering more and more food/beverages because one person would order something that looked so delicious that the others would want one too! The servers showed us incredible patience and kindness the entire time. We left feeling like we’d been on vacation!!

We live here, so it's natural to eat the buffet here. The basic options are not too rich. However, you can hire a chef to make omelettes, scrambled eggs, etc., making the buffet meal even more worthwhile. The decoration here is quite unique, with outdoor seating, facing the waterfront and the NEMO Science Museum, and you can also enjoy the Dutch Maritime Museum. The scenery is beautiful. Therefore, there are many people dining here at night.

A great place to chill in the sun. Definitely a place we will return to.

Although it was not busy we had to wait a long time for the menu. The food came quickly and was also very good.

The contact before our visit was already really nice and easy. The employees were really polite and welcoming and did their best to accommodate our group and our tight time schedule. Can really recommend it.

Very nice location, restaurant is beautifully decorated. Food was disappointing. Starter was OK, main course was downright disappointing. Good wines. In its entirety, not worth repeating.

Ömer Çelik is a magnificent bartender. One of a kind 👍🏻👍🏻

Food was ok, waiter was terrible.i come in and he is very unfriendly shouting at me "can I help you??". I think it was an Italian guy who is so rude. Your management needs to talk to him. Also before you try to ask me if it was a busy moment, no it wasn't. He was just behind the bar. And even if it was it is unacceptable to shout at your customer like we're doing something bad just by coming in

The place is nice, in the sun. But to have a drink, we waited 15 minutes around 4 p.m. and left, not a waiter had come by. It's a shame because we had a very good lunch there with reservation in the past.

I was one of the first for lunch. I ordered pancakes with fruit. After waiting 30 minutes (!?) for my (3) American style pancakes, they did not look very attractive. Just a few raspberries and blueberries and some maple syrup, around 3 flat rubbery looking pancakes. The taste was Bad, indeed rubbery and to top it off not even warm. The person who made this should go back to school. Very disappointing experience.

To have something with the family and children in peace, there was some snacks to accompany the drink but very simple. In good weather the terrace area is nice.

My son loved the mackerel sandwich. I had the pistachio sandwich. They are both good. The vibe is great and you can definitely hang out here with your friends for hours. It is by the river so it has a great view too

A good experience over all at kanteen25 . The service is good and I love the view of Amsterdam centre . Would return again with family.

Fantastic place. Beautifully located on the water, high quality and culinary menu. Ideal for lunch, dinner, work or organizing an event. The team works with love on all dishes here, and you can see and taste that. Definitely a hidden oasis of peace.

Well, expectations were unfortunately not met. I know that there are problems with good staff in the catering industry, but if the staff does not pay attention at all when you want to ask/order something, then it is very sad. The food was good, but lukewarm when served. A portion of seasonal vegetables was "simply" forgotten. We went home disappointed (it was a day with a special date for us personally). Not a second time for us, unfortunately.

Good selection of wines and cocktails. Could do better with the food menu.

Nice lunch, great service, and comfortable facilities. 😀

So cozy, with freshly made cocktails. Who can say no to that!

I ate something with deer as the main ingredient, I can't remember the dish name, but it was fantastic!

will go back! Was only there for a cocktail /theater event

Delicious food and we had nice spontaneous service.

We had made reservations for a Christmas lunch, assuming that there would also be entertainment (crafts) for the children. Unfortunately this was not the case, there were no craft activities that day (according to the staff only on a few Saturdays) and there is not much to do in the play area for young children. Very unfortunate... Furthermore, the service was good and the dishes were served quickly.

We had the pleasure of discovering this pleasant place during a walk. It is close to the Némo museum and offers a beautiful view of the water. The care given to our dishes as well as the warm welcome from the waitresses makes us want to come back without hesitation. Depending on the dish, the portions are more or less small and require a side dish. I recommend their homemade fries, they are excellent! The basement also has games for children. Finally, the restaurant decorated with taste and sobriety.

This is really nice place to go with the family. It’s very kids orientated with different games to keep them busy while you enjoy their good food! Staff very friendly also!

Nice place on the former Navy complex. Surprising Steak Tartare!😋

Great staff, but despite having a short menu they were missing a couple of dishes, and they forgot one of the mains (which the staff corrected with haste).

Had a canteen with friends. It's strange that there are few people at this time of year on a Saturday. Super friendly service. First an oriental beef. Spicy and very tender. Main duck breast which was also served good and tender. Wines a bit overpriced but tasty. Perhaps the somewhat remote location makes it so quiet at this time of year

Nice food good service. Duck and Venison where exelent plates good cocktails.. would totally recomend...

please no more taco Tuesdays. It's not filling at all and it always falls apart :( Edit: The meal I am referring to is a specific CODAM mealplan not available for regular costumers and only available to CODAM students. Also, the taco from yesterday was an amazing improvement. The spicyness, guacamole, amazing, loved it! Thank you so much :D

Come here for dinner. Friendly service, nice bar. Very large space, not very cozy. The food was tasty, but certainly not the tastiest thing I ate in Amsterdam. Well located.

Food was very good and so was the service.

I recommend to other travellers to pick a different hotel. Reception has nobody most of the time. Breakfast is extremely slow, made me go hungry to the office. I explained twice to the waiter that I was late for work, the waiter came 5 minutes later to verify my very complex order (Black coffee, and scrambled eggs), and I said again that I was late. 15 minutes after that, when the order didn't arrive and I saw how calmly the chef was going around the kitchen still, I left. My colleague, from the same company as me, arrived around that time, and had a similar bad experience as well. I will make the same recommendation internally to other employees of my company; to not use this hotel.

Voor een zakelijke lunch hadden we voor 1 persoon nog een lunch nodig. Onze eigen cateraar kon dat niet kon leveren gezien het aantal allergieën waar rekening mee gehouden moest worden. Dit was voor de keuken van Kanteen25 geen enkel probleem. Er werd een broodje en een salade geleverd. En zoals betrokkene aangaf "blij verrast" te zijn en in geen tijden zo'n lekker broodje te hebben gekregen. Voor herhaling vatbaar!

Skip the brunch - our table got a variety of dishes that came out both cold and overcooked. 2/10 on eggs Benedict, I noticed multiple people leaving half their food (and it’s not a large plate). The sautéed spinach and parmesan truffle fries were the standouts, but the service was slow. Nice view and location!

We chose this restaurant solely based on its ratings, and view but were very disappointed with the food. I ordered chicken and waffles, which were soggy and served with a sauce that I requested on the side. Really, I should have returned the whole meal. My husband had smoked salmon on Chabatta, which was loaded with mayo and had no taste. We spoke with our server, he apologized for the experience we paid and left. I would only recommend this place for the views.

I find this to be a perfect spot for a family lunch. The kids could play in the play room while the adults enjoy some nice food and lovely mimosas 😁. (As a note of improvement, the bread used under the poached eggs could be of better quality… white flour buns are … not it). I will for sure be there again!

Exquisite food, gem location. A secluded oasis in the centrum, love! Will be going there again. Staff was soo kind and helpful.

Nice venue, service and atmosphere.

We ate breakfast here. The French toast was amazing. The other offerings at the buffet (eggs, meats, cheese, pastries, juices) were also good. Staff were very helpful and attentive.

What a great spot! Close to the city as well as central station and having this magnificent view. We had a great dinner and the people from Canteen are super! Thanks a lot

Just stopped in yesterday for dinner. Cocktails were very good and the dinner was really good. I had the pizza and drink special. I really enjoyed the tricolore pizza and the view of the canal is amazing. Nice vibe! Would go again if in Amsterdam

Nice catering establishment, friendly service, good cocktails and good food.

Found restaurant via Google after searching for nice restaurants with children. However, that is disappointing, nothing special for children. The children's pizza was nice, the fries with fish fingers were much too small in portion (4-5 small fish fingers of approximately 5cm). The regular menu included one vegetarian option with the main courses. In addition, one vegetarian option with the 3-course menu (except pizza). However, this could only be chosen in combination with that specific menu, which did not have a vegetarian starter. Very strange to limit a vegetarian's choice so much. An attractive terrace with a nice view.

Great food and perfect craftsmanship. Very interesting flavor combinations, you'll want to try the whole menu. Service very friendly and accommodating!

Very beautiful place with very modern and calming decoration. Service with a smile, efficient and available. Modern and fresh cuisine Would I go back there? Maybe

Nice atmosphere, great food and very polite staff

The perfect combination of service, location, and variety. Bundle that all up with very reasonable prices. If your at the Movenpick an easy walk. Take Dijksgracht to the Commandantsbrug pedestrian bridge. Not well marked but it gets you there in 10 minutes.

One of the best waterfront terraces in Amsterdam. We had the Wednesday pizza special that includes any choice of a selection thin crust delicious pizzas plus a drink (wine, beer or soft drink) for only 16 €!! The Tiramisu was awesome too. The service was excellent and staff super friendly.

Price quality ratio is very good.

We arrived at the worst time ever. The best summer day in NL. And a full terrace. We did not reserve a table. The maitre warned us for the busy kitchen and after some hesitation seated us at a wonderful table. Service and food was excellent. And we enjoyed it very much.

We go there after the candle light concert. It’s just nearby. The food is really nice and fresh, if they could upgrade a little on the sitting area, I’m sure the profitability will go up. But luckily they don’t, so it’s paying medium price for premium food in an easy and chill environment.

Disappointing! The food was not good and the portions were far too small for the high prices. I ordered red mullet, which was served in a broth, but no spoon was given. It wasn't tasty. My friend ordered chicken, which was tasteless and served in a very small portion: just two small pieces of chicken and bland orzo. When the waiter asked if everything was to your liking, I honestly said no and shared the above problems. His response was: "Amsterdam is expensive." That's right, I live in Amsterdam and often eat out, often for higher prices. But this was by far the worst value for money I have ever experienced in Amsterdam. The service was good though. After owner's response: thank you for the detailed response and the offer to come back again. Based on the owner's response, the number of stars has been adjusted to 3.

Beautiful restaurant on the canal with an amazing vibe. The food is really good!

Great spot in an awesome location overlooking Nemo. Nice outside benches, with good service and reasonably priced menu. Wonderful for a hot summers day.

Beautiful place in the center of Amsterdam on the water. Is that still the IJ? I think so. Walking distance from the central station. Delicious food. I had the beef tataki. That was really great. Nice wine with it. Good service. Not too expensive.

Delicious food, beautiful place with lots of space, even for large groups
