WHAT A WORTHLESS PLACE LA PLACE IS WILL LA PLACE ADJUST THE OPENING HOURS VERY QUICKLY OPENING UNTIL 5:00 PM IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE ANYMORE Once again, the back entrance door of La Place on the Rokin is still defective When will this door be repaired? Will La Place Kalverstraat Amsterdam Please adjust the Opening Hours NOW very quickly from Monday to Wednesday La Place open until 7:00 PM this has not been adjusted yet Once again, opening until 5:00 PM is really unacceptable anymore Paying for the toilet as a customer is also no longer possible So from now on, the toilet is free for La Place customers. Unfortunately, La Place still has not adjusted the opening hours after the renovation How much longer is this going to take Open until only 5:00 PM is really unacceptable anymore. Today after work, I went for a nice meal at La Place following the renovation of the La Place on Kalverstraat. I am curious to see what kind of tasty things they have now. La Place is currently closed from Monday, January 12th to Sunday, January 18th due to renovations. I hope that paying for a toilet visit will be free from now on after the renovation, as a restaurant should be. and that the opening hours of La Place are adjusted from now on so that La Place is now open from Monday to Wednesday until 19:00, so this means that a full assortment is available even after 17:00, such as soup & sandwiches, pizzas, and pastries. La Place Kalverstraat really needs to adjust its opening hours now, so from now on, not open until 17:00 but until 19:00. Or this La Place can disappear from the city center of Amsterdam for good. La Place Kalverstraat is really going downhill; there is almost no extensive assortment to be found anymore. After 5:00 PM on Monday through Wednesday, the La Place here looks like a food bank and the smoothies are free, by the looks of it too La Place Kalverstraat is really going downhill; almost no extensive assortments to be found anymore.

La Place Kalverstraat is kindly requested to adjust the opening hours as soon as possible to the normal opening hours as La Place is supposed to be Being open every day until only 5:00 PM is absolute madness Using the toilet should also be free for La Place customers It is utterly ridiculous that as a La Place customer you have to pay separately for a visit to the toilet Many cash registers closed and it is busy

Food was insanely cold and nasty, insanely overpriced (we payed €60 for 2 salads, 1 soup and a smoothie) and the service was quite rude. I would not wish for my worst enemy to have to eat this slop.

Thanks to Sanaa she is super nice and amazing

Great cafe, polite staff, nice atmosphere, everything is clean and most importantly delicious 😋 I really liked it here, I recommend it

Shoukran a drari.. Bravo... Service toop Arabs crew, Allah yhfdkom

What a fantastic place! I absolutely loved it. It's like a buffet; they put everything on the counters, and you choose whatever you like until you've filled your plate—all freshly made! They have all kinds of drinks, from Coca-Cola to a freshly made pineapple and banana smoothie—I was thrilled. And all sorts of desserts; you won't know which one to choose! 😍😍😍😍 The place has three floors, and one of them has free microwave service and a small water dispenser. I give this place a 10/10 for being so complete in every way!

While visiting Amsterdam, we dropped in out of pure curiosity... We looked at what they had to offer and, since it was already lunchtime, we decided to stop. We were surprised by the quality of the food, especially the salad buffet. I also had a beef steak; it was very good, albeit small (prices in Holland are even higher than in Italy). It works a bit like a canteen: you pick up a tray, and you can take some things yourself, while they prepare others for you (like the beef, for example). The seating is very standard, so the atmosphere itself isn't superb, but you can eat well for a bit less than a typical restaurant. A little tip: if you need to use the bathroom, go before ordering and paying, as they give you a €0.50 voucher to use on your next purchase.

If you buy food and drinks here, you also have to pay 1 euro to use the toilet.

A good place to eat both vegetables, meat, sandwiches and pizza.

Fresh and tasty food, good selection and lots of space, very spacious and nice location. Highly recommended for a quick bite!

€21 for 2 sandwiches is crazy, especially considering that they left the membrane on the ham.

I wanted to go here for lunch around midday or a bit later, but wow, €7.50 for a meager sandwich... it wasn't busy, which I can understand with these prices.

Average meals, some better some less. But what drives low the review score is the fact that even if you sit to eat a lunch and spend quite a bit they ask you to pay for the toilette, unacceptable, customers spending money should get a code or a free pass for the toilette. And it’s about the principle not about the 70 cents…

⭐⭐⭐⭐Healthy oasis with a strategic challenge La Place remains a unique concept on the Kalverstraat. Where the area is dominated by fast food, their salad buffet offers a welcome and fresh alternative. The quality of the ingredients is unmistakable; the seasonal vegetables and homemade dressings have an authentic taste rarely found elsewhere. From a constructive perspective, the price-quality ratio is fair, provided the plate is utilized efficiently. The biggest challenge lies in the logistics during peak times; the enormous influx of visitors sometimes results in a messy presentation at the buffet. If management manages to keep the presentation sleek even on busy Saturdays, this is undoubtedly the best lunch spot in the city center. Highly recommended for the discerning connoisseur. IB Putra

Had a great experience here. The staff is very friendly

It's a good place to get a quick bite. Self serve place with decent food.

This La Place is disappointing, and not what I’ve come to expect from them. The staff doesn't know how things work and doesn't prioritize customer friendliness; fortunately, the manager does and helped me. The asparagus soup is bland but acceptable, whereas the tomato soup tastes chemical. It wouldn't surprise me if it's soup from a packet, and with the tomato soup, it seemed like they added tomato paste and sugar just for show. The sandwiches are also bland, but filling. The smell of weed comes in from the street, and their basement seating area smells like the sewer. You also have to pay extra for the toilet, which is covered in graffiti. I am never going back here again.

Terrible atmosphere. Chaotic. Personel nie jest dobrze poinformowany o promocjach które robi. A obsługa ( mężczyzna na kasie) wogole nie pomocny i nie rozmawia. Terrible atmosphere. Chaotic. The staff is not well informed about the promotions they offer. And the service (the man at the cash register) is not helpful at all and does not communicate.

Food is good but paying for the bathroom as a paying customer is ridiculous. They give you a 50 cent discount but that’s no use when most people use the toilet AFTER they’ve already ordered and paid.

It's crazy that they make you pay for the toilet, even if you're eating. What a joke.

The pizza and soup were good! The staff worked at a snail's pace. Unfortunately, the tables and chairs were dirty, and some of the dishes were too.

We had tomato soup and pizza. It was tasty. Unfortunately, the glasses weren't completely clean and looked quite worn. The chair cushions were stained, making it hard to sit down. This overall impression unfortunately spoiled our appetite. Nevertheless, the food tasted good if you could overlook these issues.

Visited La Place in Amsterdam recently and had a great experience. The food was fresh, tasty, and there were plenty of healthy options to choose from. The seating area was clean and comfortable. A nice spot for a relaxed meal while exploring the city. Definitely recommended 👍🍽️

Most dishes were already sold out by 3:00 PM. They have made the menu way too complicated. The "cook" doesn't understand it himself.

This is the second time I've been here, and it says they've been open for over 15 minutes. Then I'm faced with a closed door, and they're not even open at all.

Toilet B1, 80 cents. I don't know about the food; I didn't eat it.

Cold burger and mushi fries. It is not what it used to be. Very disappointed.

Nice and chill experience with a good view of the city. Affordable drinks and cakes.

Great place to sit, delicious food, very friendly staff!

Personally, I had pea soup, which was delicious and hot. The place looks neglected and paying in the toilets made me look bad as a customer...it was a terrible stop in between my shopping.

Good food choices, poor service. Pizza girl putting pizzas in the oven for less than 15 seconds is not going to warm that thing up. Should also probably serve up the plate on top of the serving shelf before walking off. Tasted nice though.

Dear La Place (Kalverstraat), Today I stopped by at 4:15 PM for a bite to eat, but the display cases were already practically empty. I understand that a place closes at 5 PM, but the complete abandonment of the "fresh experience" just forty-five minutes beforehand is unworthy of a reputation.

After years, I was back at La Place. It was okay, but the prices were quite reasonable for the place. The coffee was meh, and it's a shame you can't use the restroom for free.

It costs 80 cents to use the restroom as a paying customer. The gates weren't working (I discovered this after paying), so I had to crawl under them even though I'm almost 8 months pregnant. It's ridiculous.

The interior is Beautiful. Great setup and the best coffee is on the 3rd floor.

Food was great, but what kind of business makes you pay to use the restroom when you are a customer, just because "it's Amsterdam"..

Unclear prices for the salad plates, long waiting time for unclear reason and the pizza was not even well cooked…

Horrible place. The staff didn't even greet us; we had to find our own cutlery. A pea soup, which cost an outrageous €6, tasted of plastic. The same goes for the second-floor seat with a lackluster view of the wall of the building next door. And if the awful food really has to come out, you have to pay for the restrooms. I would never come back here.

80 cents for toilet use, even if you have consumed something.

Excellent solution for a quick meal, sitting right in the city center.

Very convenient for a quick bite, wide selection and affordable prices.

This is the fifth time I've bought food there and it's always freshly prepared and the staff is very friendly.💛💙

This place means so much to us. We first came here 16 years ago, then kept coming back every couple of years, always grabbing our favorite treats. It’s been in our hearts all this time, and we’ll definitely be back again. This place just warms the soul.

A quiet, clean place right in the city center. The buffet option is perfect and not too expensive.

Cafeteria style eatery. Pick what you want and check out at the register at the end. There is a ton of variety of food. I loved the fresh juices. There’s a nice place to sit down stairs. Loved the healthy food options!

Delicious food and good service staff!

Wide selection of healthy food! You can clearly see what you're eating (whole ingredients), which is nice. The atmosphere is great, and the staff are friendly!

The pizza was burnt and the oven was dirty. The pizza maker was suspicious; when I confronted her about ordering pizza, she reacted with disgust.

I didn’t like the food here , was tasteless. The restaurant and the service are nice no complaints, but the food it s soooo dutch 🤣

Delicious food and very friendly service.

Really delicious place, with a lot of different food and with self-service. A nice visit

Great place for a familiar recipe. Sit upstairs in peace. One star down because you don't get a receipt to pee when you're eating for 30 euros...

Went in on Monday the 13th of October to have lunch. Asked the lady by the soup station if the soup would be ready soon. She did not even acknowledge us, or look up, just said NO. Extremely rude, so we just left. It's a shame as the food is good there, but some of the staff - terrible.

Pizza was great, the woman helping us too. Sadly the man who seemed to be manager. Dressed in a white shirt was snapping his fingers at workers and talking to them quite unpleasantly. Definitely got the ick from that. For the rest positive and recommendation, maybe that man just needs to be humbled for a bit😉

A very cozy self-service restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. I had a classic hamburger with potato casserole and mushrooms, very tasty, and the price was right for the quality. I'd be happy to come back.

Very good burgers, the potato casserole and the fried mushrooms were also great, good value for money, very cozy and friendly. I'd be happy to go back. A visit is always worth it.

Great! Everything fresh and a wide selection!

Perfect! Ideal for a quick, cheap, and fresh meal! Excellent value for money.

It's a cafeteria basically, an expensive one

Super nice location and incredibly friendly staff!!!!

Everything is very fresh and has a wide variety. A little expensive, but worth it.

The service at this restaurant was very disappointing. The staff seemed to completely ignore guests and gave the impression that preparing an order was doing us a favor rather than their job. Unfortunately, the poor service overshadowed everything else. Because of this, our overall experience was negative, and we will not be returning to this restaurant.

Expensive for what it offers. A small bowl of tomato soup and a mini salad plate cost 15 euros. Very inconvenient, with a lot of steep stairs to climb.

It couldn't be slower. They prepare mountains of baskets out front. And no one bothers to serve you. A 30-minute wait for a quarter of a pizza. We gave up.

We came here twice to eat sandwiches for breakfast. The cheese and bread tasted good. They use quality products. We paid 25 Euros for 2 sandwiches, cheese, bread, fruit juice and tea.

One of the self-service places in Amsterdam, where you can choose from sandwiches, vegetables, meat and much more. In short, a very large place in Amsterdam and even when it is crowded, the space allows for excellent accessibility.

Great good at a great place. Incredibly quiet as well, nice for a break from the busy city.

Arrived at 10:00 AM for breakfast. The food wasn't great. I had a ham sandwich with honey and mustard sauce. The sandwich itself was dry, the ham was just thrown on top, and the lettuce was also old. My girlfriend had a caramel iced coffee. The coffee was just water with coffee flavor or something. The caramel wasn't noticeable in the flavor. Visually, it looked good, but the taste wasn't the best. It was very overpriced. The yogurt with fruit was €7.95 for a large, and it was still too small.

A very nice restaurant where you can eat and drink something. We like to drink coffee with apple cake there.

A nice place to have breakfast with fruits, cakes, yogurt and fresh juices etc.

Too bad there are no gluten-free options

I often have lunch here with great soup and vegetable salad. Self-service so no waiting time. Upstairs you can sit by the window and enjoy the view of the Rokin and the Turfmarkt.

Very bright and inviting place with many flors (and elevator!). A lot of plants and nice atmosphere. Paid toilet is a robbery though

I have been a loyal customer for the past 15 years, and only today I found out about an unfair new charge (0.80 euro) to get to the toilet, even when you are a customer. When I tried to get an explanation, they told me that the toilet is not their toilet. But it's inside their business, and there are clear signs on how to get there. Pathetic.

Buffet food with a wide variety and very reasonable prices for the area. The restaurant is impressive, well-decorated, and very comfortable. A great find, no doubt. The third floor is well worth a visit.

The meat is fresh and tasty,healthy meal like home,no trashy fast foods like all the center of amsterdam, here real food.

We stumbled upon this place by accident and we actually loved it. It is like a school canteen, you go round and you choose what you want to take and you pay accordingly at the cashier. We loved the available options and everything was very tasty.

Awesome place. Very fresh and tadty food. Gave only 13.25 for the whole thing

Self service food market! Very recommended! Fair prices

On a weekday it’s good! Nice place and good fresh food. On a weekend day, too busy and quality drops. Nice place to sit regardless!

Love this place, everything looks so fresh, color and delicious.

I ordered hot chocolate. They gave me that.

Absolutely terrible experience. The service at La Place in Amsterdam was downright rude. Staff acted like we were a burden just for asking how things work — whether it’s self-service, where to pay, or where to sit. The food stations were scattered randomly across the place with barely any signs, and 90% of the labels were only in Dutch, despite being in a tourist-heavy area. When we asked for help, they simply ignored us or brushed us off with attitude. Felt completely unwelcome and disrespected as a customer. Avoid this place if you value even basic courtesy or clear communication.

I had lunch at La Place recently. The food was really tasty and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience really nice. The only downside is that it’s a bit on the expensive side for what you actually get.

Great little spot, rooftop garden is a great place to grab a bite and rest. It’s a little expensive but nothing to cry about.

What a crappy place! I order 2x a Classic chicken burger. I get fries separately, for which I suddenly have to pay €7.70 extra. During preparation, the employee let a piece of chicken burn, then put a new piece on the plate, but then she still put the burnt piece on our burger! She couldn't handle the barbecue with two customers, let alone if there were ten. When I indicated at the cash register that I hadn't ordered fries, she didn't understand at all.

We were in this establishment, it's atmospheric, clean, everything is beautifully decorated, but... I chose a hot dog for lunch, unfortunately, it wasn't tasty at all. The sausage has no taste, it's not salty, there are no spices, it feels like eating paper, everything is covered in a lot of mayonnaise sauce. The potatoes and tomatoes are tasty, but it won't fix the impression and you certainly won't eat enough of it. The prices are also not cheap for such food, it's better to spend your time and find a normal establishment.

The food is okay, toilet accessibility is horrible. The toilets are paid, expensive, and the voucher system is useless, potentially by design. Customers access toilets after paying for the food; so the voucher is set to expire worthless. I want to see whoever has been congratulated for the design of this system start every restaurant they visit by going to the toilet (only once!).

Nice place where you can combine different dishes and sides. The staff was super nice.

Came upon this deli today. We had a tuna & chicken bab both delicious & v helpful staff. Lovely area to sit & eat v clean 80 cent to use the bathrooms which is fine by me as they are clean & well maintained. Would highly recommend The Place

Tasty food and drinks were good

La place Kalverstraat for the best place to have breakfast. Too

I came here last year and was rather satisfied. That’s why I came back again this year to experience and awful customer service. Although we ordered multiple drinks and deserts, we were forced to pay for using the restroom! Had I known that, I would easily go to the Starbucks instead!

Very nice tasty and healthy, fresh smoothie and a sandwich was 8,50€

Went here for lunch with my mother during a day of shopping. Upon entering you can immediately grab a tray and choose your food, the range is very wide and looks good. 1 downside was that there were 2 types of yogurt/cottage cheese that you could choose from. I asked the staff what was what as it was not stated. It was said “one is organic yogurt and the other is strawberry cottage cheese” but no one knew which was which. Furthermore, I had a great meal and we were kindly helped with all our questions. Definitely recommended!

Very nice variety of food that is really delicious

It's one of the rare restaurants where I really feel comfortable. It was my first time there with my wife and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much and I recommend it to everyone.

I’ve been coming here for years. The cakes, pastries, and pizzas are excellent. However, the sandwiches used to be better and now feel underfilled for the high prices. The service is friendly, and it’s a lovely spot to relax and enjoy good company.

Varied cuisine, there is almost something for everyone. The only downside is that the toilets are chargeable.
