Koepelcafé in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Drank delicious beers at the bar and on the terrace. Very fast service and beautifully poured pints. Daniel was very friendly, hence a 5-star experience!

Emma went absolutely above and beyond. Between what local Dutch foods to order, specialty Dutch drinks to enjoy, and Amsterdam recommendations - will be back!

Decent food, great service from Alon. Thank you!

The fish was not bad but could have been better), the potatoes were very tasty!

Alon and Emma were absolutely spectacular, the quick and quality service and it was such a pleasure to talk to them. Will come again!

Amazing service from the real star Alon 🫶✌️👌

Great service from Pablo and Emma ;)

Always enjoy Koepel at Renaissance AMSTERDAM. Staff, service, atmosphere are always welcoming. Alon is one of the favorites and always appreciate his service, kindness and sincere service.

Truly the most delicious warm apple pie ever! We were served by Alon and Daniel, two very sweet and hardworking guys.

Alon and Daniel are real stars, had a nice conversation. They care about the customer and take care of you.

Poor experience, very rude against tourist. Five star for Emma, but the blond guy…

Very good Dutch food at a good price. The waiters were very friendly too! I recommend it for trying local cuisine; the bitterballen and the beef with potatoes were delicious.

Very sweet and friendly staff & quiet surroundings! And that right in the city center. 100% recommended.

Had a lovely time, delicious snacks. Thanks a lot Alon, Lorenzo, Emma, Gijske and Jarco!!

It was very cozy in the Dome Café. Good service from Alon, Laurenzo, Emma, ​​Gijske, and Jarco. 😀

We had a delicious meal today, with a nice atmosphere. Friendly service from Alon and Jarco, who helped us well with the questions we had!

The manager & the lady working there in today's evening shift were awesome. Very nice service, good coffees and eggless stroopwaffles <3 yummy! Even though we couldn't get eggless appletaart, no regret. We enjoyed the ambience too.

Had a wonderful evening. Top service, thanks Jarco and Alon!

Very good bar, good service, especially the excellent service from the waiter Lorenzo; very comfortable during my stay

Beautiful outdoor seating, kind staff, yummy food

lars sara emma jitte were amazing!

A quiet place without much noise. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The waitress gave me recommendations on what to eat. The prices were reasonable.

Loved it. Gorgeous Dutch cheese platter, lovely wine and super cheerful, friendly staff.

Delicious food. Super service and wonderfully clean restrooms.

Sara served us on two occasions and she is lovely. Service is prompt and burgers are great. Jicke made great mixed drinks.

We were helped incredibly well by Sara and Lars this evening. Cozy atmosphere and delicious food, highly recommended!

Fantastic find. Great food, especially the apple tart. Ask for an espresso martini from Emma! She and Alon provided us with excellent service.

Great beer and cool vibe! Our waitress Emma was so friendly and welcoming!

Good food and amazing service from Alon, Sara and Jarko!

Emma was an awesome, fun waitress. We had a great time!

Amazing service, great ambience, and the drinks were so good! Emma was so friendly and sweet.

Great stop for drinks and a bite! Thanks for the great service Emma, Lourenco and Ann we will definitely be back before we fly back 😁🙏

Everybody was amazing Alon Emma Anne Lars and Jarko

EDIT: Went back to see the place and say hi to friends - hadn't been back since Dec. Was told by some kids working there that guests are no longer allowed to sit at the bar area, and to take a seat and wait. Place was empty. Disappointing. I'm guessing this was not true, but if it is, you should remove the bar stools.. Old Review - Quaint and cozy place for food or a drink. Friendly staff and cheap prices in the city center. Walking distance from Centraal Station.

Our first day in Amsterdam after a long travel nightmare. We met friends here because it was the most convenient. What luck, it was also amazing. The best part was the service Emma is a superstar!! She made the experience memorable and fun. Jicke(Jay) was also very nice. The atmosphere is lively, we sat outdoors, beer selection, and the gin!!! We will eat here again before we leave.

Came here two days in a row because the Appeltaart was so delicious. Light, airy and not too sweet. Also wonderful place to people watch. Thanks Sara for the great service.

We had a great experience here! Sara and Lorenzo were fantastic, very friendly, attentive, and helpful with both the drinks and the meals. Everything was delicious, and the service made our visit even better. Definitely a place we would recommend in Amsterdam!

Lovely atmosphere with outdoor seating in the shade, waiter/waitress was lovely although the service was slightly slow. The bitterballen were crunchy with great flavour and the chips were genuinely the crunchiest I ever had and were nicely salted.

Gijske, Lars, Anne, Jikke, and Emma were very helpful. I received my drink quickly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Anne, Gijske, Lats, Emma, Jicke were working at this bar. The service was amazing, the vibe was very welcoming. 10/10 would come again.

I went here for a couple of beers and was helped very well by the lovely staff. Honestly would like to give a special shout out to Lourenco, sara, Gijske and emma who helped me while I was there, and were so kind to me and my friends the entire time and gave us some great recommendations (which were truly and honestly great). I would definitely recommend this place!!

Thank you for the perfect experience! The food was great and the service was perfect, thank you Sara and Gijske for making our day unforgettable! I recommend everyone near the area to visit!

Real nice place and great service. Lars and Sara were so kind and accommodating.

The service was excellent, in particular Lars and Sara were very helpful and made the overall experience very enjoyable, great restaurant and a must try, big thank you to the staff!

Emma was great! Beers and atmosphere were good. Would recommend.

My server Sara was extremely helpful. She explained to me the history of Dutch jenever as well as the cultural inspirations behind the dishes on the menu. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating service all around!

Everything is perfect; the staff treats customers wonderfully and helps them in every way they can. I've been working in bars for a long time, and this is a fantastic place, I highly recommend it.

Coffee, toastis, tomato soup, bitterballen all very good. Amazing service at the bar as well.. really great staff

Great place to grab a drink and feel classy. Lorenzo and Emma make great conversation while providing exceptional service! Ended up staying an hour longer than I planned to because it was so nice.

My favorite bar in Amsterdam Lorenzo and Emma were phenomenal. I will absolutely be making a trip back

Emma and Jarco were so delightful! Made our experience top notch. They were excellent and gave many recommendations and added personal experiences. So much fun tonight! Great experience, wish we had more time!

Emma and Jarco were amazing! Best service in town, and I never want to leave now!

Cozy, laid-back neighborhood spot with Dutch dishes, great for a bite and a beer. The food was good, vibe was great, and service by Emma and the gang was top-tier. When we sat down, the place was swarmed by four other couples, two families, and a large group all at once. Absolutely packed. Emma made the Saturday night rush look easy handling all the questions, suggestions, orders, and corrections with so much grace and professionalism. Friendly, bubbly attitude the entire time. Food came out quick and we felt super taken care of 🩷

Had several meals here as I stayed at the Renaissance Amsterdam. As good as it gets. Stoofvlees and the pie was amazing. The burger was good too (no pics as it was gobbled up rather quick!)

Sara recommended local specialties to us, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Plenty of food, very good, in a cozy atmosphere.

I visited Koepelcafé yesterday and had an amazing experience. I was welcomed by Emma, a really friendly girl. Then I had the pleasure of being served by Anne, an amazing Dutch girl. The girls made my visit a real pleasure.

The food was really nice and it was good to try a traditional Dutch a dish. However, the service really let it down. They took ages between each interaction (e.g sitting down, ordering, serving food and drinks, collecting plates and giving the bill). They also forgot our water so we had to go to the counter to ask for it. The staff were friendly but kept walking in and out of the room without serving us.

Delicious food yet the staff not so delicious. When we were seated, it took the staff a while to take our order then the food took a very long time to arrive, next, the staff took a while to bring our bill when we asked for it and lastly, we asked for some tap water, we never recieved it until we came up to the bar. We were the only people seated indoors and during the time we went, it was very quiet. It's disappointing that despite the restaurant being quiet the staff took so little interest in me and my friend. The service was very slow. It sad as the food is very lovely. I wouldn't come again.

Had a beer and very good service

Food great! Service from Lars and Angelo the best!

I don't think I've ever had such good service at a business of this caliber in the heart of Amsterdam. It's great that it's still possible. Lars, we'll be back just for you!

A very cute café with a delicious selection of hot and cold dishes. The appetizer selection was especially great. Csaba, the server, did a fantastic job; she was very attentive and polite. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Amsterdam.

Laurenco, Emma, Sara were absolutely amazing to us!! Made us feel so welcome!!

Emma, Margo, Anne were amazing! Thank you so much for a lovely apero hour!

Great little Dutch restaurant. Super service. Tasty food. Prices in line with Amsterdam, so bring your wallet.

Margaux and Lorenzo did an amazing service

Margot and lourenzo the best waitress ever. The cocktails were amazing

We were served by Emma. She was really friendly and nice, her recommendations were what we were looking for!

Had a fantastic evening! Delicious food, tasty drinks, and a super cozy atmosphere. But the biggest compliment undoubtedly goes to Guus. His friendly welcome, attention to detail, and excellent service made all the difference. Thank you, Guus! We are already looking forward to our next visit.

I had a wonderful experience at Koepelcafé. A big part of that was thanks to Guus, who was excellent in leading his team and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout my visit. His attentiveness and leadership really stood out, and he went out of his way to ensure I had a great time. Highly recommend!

Amazing and very cozy place! The service is wonderful. The food is marvelous; I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to try traditional Dutch food. Emma and Lourenço are extremely attentive; I will definitely return.

Excellent atmosphere, food and great service. Emma, Gus, and Lourenço are fantastic!

It was very good and the food was good! +10 to Emma, lorenzo and Csaba te waiter

Please make sure EMMA gets a tip. She was amazing :)

Amazing cocktails and great service provided by Lourenço and Csaba 👌

Service was good...but the club sandwich was bad, the lettuce was brown and warm on the bread...it used to be good...it has really gone downhill...the club sandwich was without fries, you are supposed to serve it with fries or chips...service was good though...it wasn't tasty.worst club sandwich I have ever eaten...I didn't look appetizing either

While staying at the adjoining hotel I stopped in for a couple of drinks. Really great place with great service. Emma served me and she was delightful. Lorenzo, the bar tender, made my drinks exactly as I like them. Very nice experience and I'll definitely be back!

Friendly staff at this restaurant with a pleasant decor. The food is good, with plenty of Dutch specialties. The Gouda burger is good, and the mushroom sandwich is delicious. Just the service was a little slow.

I have nothing but great things to say about this place! The waiters were soooo kind, really amazing hospitality! Shoutout Emma, Lorenzo, and Angelo. Also I had the mustard soup I believe is what it’s called and it was so delicious (coming from a picky eater)

Nice place, very friendly waitress, 5 euros for a bottle of Pepsi Max🥺

Nice place to grab a beer and enjoy the weather outside! Big thanks Csaba!

The service from our waiter Csaba was amazing! He was attentive yet didn’t bother us. The tapas were great. The wine was awesome. Highly recommend if you’re needing a quick bite or a place to kill time.

We stayed at the Renaissance and this was our favorite meal in Amsterdam! Thank you Emma, Anna, Lars, and Csaba!

Huge thanks to Angelo at Koepelcafe! I was in a difficult situation with a dead phone battery, and he kindly let me charge my phone without hesitation. On top of that, he was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and gave great service the whole time. Small acts like that really make a difference when you’re traveling or in need. Koepelcafe is lucky to have someone like Angelo working there, highly recommended!

The prices are quite high, even by Amsterdam standards. I'm surprised a 32-euro steak is served without a side dish. A few bare lettuce leaves aren't even dressed and can't even be called a salad.

We had a drink at this lovely little bistro the first day we arrived in Amsterdam. It was busy but they were happy to let us sit down and have a lovely glass of wine. We returned for dinner on our last evening and the food and service were excellent . Highly recommend this lovely spot and shout out to Emma and Lorenzo for such good service . Right next to the Amsterdam Renaissance and close to the train station. 👍👍

Great spot - definitely recommended. Angelo, Lars, and Lorenzo were great

The food was amazing! The waitresses were amazing! But the waiter wasn't very friendly...

Awesome experience, the whole staff was amazing!

Had a disappointing meal at Koepelcafé. The club sandwich was okay, but the meatballs satay was really inadequate. A few standard small meatballs with very little satay sauce on a bad bun. Plus point: we sat outside on the terrace in the sun.

The waitress was nice… but the boss was prejudiced against her appearance.

The waiter wasn't great... a bit strict, but the waitress was nice.

Unpleasant waiter… Waiter not friendly at all…

Great atmosphere! Emma in particular was an absolute joy ❤️

Lorenzo and Emma gave fantastic service and showed us the true spirit of Amsterdam! This is the best restaurant in Ansterdam!

Lorenzo and Emma were incredible at their job, they made us feel at home, and went above and beyond in every aspect of their job.

Lorenzo and Emma made our trip to Amsterdam.

Friendly service, delicious food. Prices are on the higher side. The fries with truffles were very tasty.

Gijske and Lars were fantastic servers. Food was excellent and highly recommended for lunch and or drinks.

Had such a cozy and memorable evening at Cafe koepel — this place just gets it right. We started with the bitterballen, and wow… perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and flavorful inside, easily one of the highlights of the meal. The sandwiches were hearty and fresh (that stacked, toasted goodness 🤌), and the soup was pure comfort in a bowl — especially with that bread on the side. The hot alcoholic drink was exactly what we needed on a cold Amsterdam night — warm, rich, and honestly a mood by itself. Big shoutout to Gus, Alejandro, and Emma for the super friendly and attentive service. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The ambience is cozy with great seating, soft lighting, and that relaxed vibe that makes you want to sit, chat, and stay longer than planned. Great food, great people, great vibes — would absolutely come back
