Le Petit George in Museumkwartier

Nice restaurant in the Oud-Zuid district of Amsterdam, very close to Vondelpark. Great food with an atmosphere similar to Parisian cafes.

Thought we'd have a nice lunch somewhere. But what a terrible service, there was no smile. Not even a thank you, smile or goodbye when paying. In short, terrible service while it's a beautiful place!

Amazing food, staff never walked around to help anyone so was left waiting a lot

Delicious salads and well balanced menu.

One of the best spots in Amsterdam - and probably the world - to hang out at the terrace and think about life while having brunch or sipping a drink in the afternoon or evening. The staff is super nice as well.

My favourite place to have a drink and enjoy the sunset! Food is good, lemon tart desert is exceptional!

Ok-ish main course Horrible cheesecake Overpriced water!! Very random service in terms of optics and attitude Nice location but never again 👍🏻

Good evening, I had a nice cup of coffee there today, just a few tips for black coffee, I had to wait 25 minutes in terms of service 0 only if there is a rich customer, the treatment is very different of course 💪🙏

Very relaxed atmosphere. Good food with the salmon as a highlight (okay and the French fries). The staff is very attentive, friendly and proactive. Nice experience!

Great food, excellent service and delicious Pinot Noir!

If you have a lot of time on your hands this is okay, but you won't be done within an hour, even if it's a very simple lunch. Price-wise what you can expect and not unreasonable but not really a bargain either. The margins are fine I think. The mayo with the fries was very tasty.

Amazing place for people watching in the sun. The beef tartare and salade nordique were excellent.

What a nice terrace, you can sit here in the sun. Nice French atmosphere! Friendly and helpful service, everything went smoothly. The food was delicious. We had a glass of rose with it and that was also very tasty! In short, you can sit here comfortably and you can eat or have a drink!

If you have such an expensive menu with a wine like (Dumanet) that is 7.95 purchase for a private person and you put it away for 45 you can expect a smile and good service (with a bit of experience). Food was reasonable but not special, is that there was still a bit of sun on the small terrace, that makes up for it a little bit. Especially very overrated and too expensive for what it is. !!

Very nice and cozy terrace, both places in the sun and in the shade. Lovely quiet sitting even though it is on the street side. Friendly and quick service. We only had a quick lunch there. Both the croque monsieur and the toast burrata with tomato were delicious.

I ordered avocado toast with a poached egg. I received cold hard eggs with a black glow around the yolk. When I sent it back, the chef said that he didn't have time to cook a hot egg because of lunch preparations. I left and will never come back.

Very nice Parisian-style bistro, Parisian background music, Seine-style terrace with bistro tables and chairs. Very good beef tartare, quiet area near the park

Capisco che si trattava di una serata particolare perché era la sera della festa del Re e che noi, abituati agli orari italiani, ci siamo mossi troppo tardi, però solitamente se delle persone si fanno accomodare in un ristorante e la cucina sta per chiudere, si chiede ai clienti se devono mangiare o solo bere e li si avverte prima di sedersi se la cucina sta per chiudere in modo da scegliere se andare altrove o se ordinare subito prima che chiuda. Invece nessuno ci ha detto nulla, noi ci siamo fermati proprio perché era tutto chiuso ed era già mezz’ora che cercavamo un posto per cenare e vedevamo che stavano servendo del cibo. Dopo averci fatto sedere ci hanno portato il menù sia della roba da mangiare che da bere, sempre senza dirci nulla e poi hanno preso l’ordinazione della roba da bere sempre senza avvisare. Sono passati altri 15 minuti e quando abbiamo chiesto di ordinare da mangiare ci hanno detto che non era più possibile perché la cucina stava chiudendo, però nel frattempo i piatti stavano ancora uscendo quindi la cucina era stata aperta fino ad allora, se ci avessero avvisato per tempo avremmo potuto fare la nostra ordinazione. Detto questo, eravamo turisti in difficoltà, con una bimba piccola da far cenare, con i ristoranti ovunque chiusi per la festa e con una cucina chiusa da non più di 5 minuti. Se fossimo stati in Italia qualsiasi ristoratore ci avrebbe fatto mangiare, invece ci hanno offerto solo patatine fritte. In Italia abbiamo tanti problemi ma di sicuro abbiamo una qualità che si chiama empatia e che evidentemente i proprietari di questo locale ignorano cosa sia.

Expensive and small portions. Food not cooked correctly. Burger was much rarer than requested. Server was slow but kitchen was quick. Bartender was great.

They cancelled my reservation that I made a month ago, 48 hours before the date because «suddenly» they «don’t take reservation for King’s Day». Funny, I got a reservation last year. «But you’re welcome to drop by» no thanks, I don’t feel welcome enough to elbow myself in and get spun out as soon as I dropped my fork.

A wonderful location, beautiful sunny terrace that gets packed. Food is average. Normal fried snacks. Service is pretty disastrous - can wait up to 40 mins to just get noticed by the staff. Last time we had to cancel the second order and this time we just walked out after 30 minutes wait to just make an eye contact with staff (failed).

Place/atmosphere is good. But food is tasteless.

So so! Using french names doesn’t mean french gourmet.

Small portions for huge money. French fries and salads are very tasteless. There is no notice anywhere that the water on the table is paid, 7 euros for a bottle of tap water is robbery.

Tenía tantas ganas de un relajado viernes por la noche después de una larga semana, cuando reservamos. Cuando llegamos como una familia de 3 nos dejaron esperar durante 5 minutos junto a la puerta, mientras que el restaurante estaba medio vacío; miradas astutas, pero el contacto visual evitado. Eventualmente, cuando la presencia no pudo ser ignorada por más tiempo, nos dieron una mesa diminuta en la esquina que era apenas lo suficientemente grande para 1 con la razón de “la silla de bebé puede caber allí” (que no fue solicitada o necesaria). Cuando pedimos una mesa en la que pudiéramos sentarnos, nos dijeron con odio que nos sentáramos en la mesa ficticia frente a la puerta principal. En ese momento llegó una familia holandesa y se les mostró a una mesa apropiada en otro lugar del restaurante. Claramente no fuimos bienvenidos y no encajamos con el perfil de los clientes buscados. Salimos y fuimos a nuestra pizzería local en lairessestraat donde nos dieron la bienvenida. Mensaje recibido y no volveremos. Reserva bajo tu propio riesgo. .

Amazing service! Thanks for ignoring us for 20min. I think you score in losing costumers..

Wij hadden gereserveerd om 15u omdat we hierna onze trein moesten halen naar huis. Bij aankomst was er helemaal geen tafel vrijgehouden, het terras zat volledig vol, bediening was zeer onvriendelijk en gaf ons een arrogant antwoord dat we dan maar gewoon moesten wachten tot de eerste tafel vrijkwam. Toen we eindelijk een tafel kregen, konden we hierna bestellen, waarbij ze zeiden dat ze even geen eten serveerden omdat het te druk was, hierna zijn we gewoon weggaan, en we hebben uiteindelijk niet meer kunnen eten voor onze trein. Zeer onvriendelijke bediening!!

Very nice place for a drink or just a meal.

Rude & slow service and terrible coffee

Delicious food last week. Good service, atmosphere and tasty food

Gran servicio, buena selección de brunch, relación calidad-precio, agradables asientos al aire libre durante el buen tiempo en Amsterdam. Me encanta la experiencia general aquí.

Slechtste restaurant ter wereld. Voedselvergiftiging, 's avonds kotsend op het toilet. . Dessert niet goed ontdooid. Dit is echt het meest hopeloze restaurant van Amsterdam en de rest van de wereld. Doe de tent maar liever gelijk dicht, de medewerkers begrijpen echt niets van horeca. Steak tartaar, dramatisch, vier personen van onze tafel hebben 's avonds boven het toilet gehangen om te kotsen. Kokkie, Graag handen wassen als je naar het toilet bent geweest. Misschien is het nog wel erger en wordt de bedorven steak tartaar bewust opgediend. Dit laatste kan haast niet, het zou poging tot moord zijn. Het water was trouwens geweldig, wel warm, want de flessen stonden al op tafel, maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Spa rood altijd goed op hoge temperaturen. Helaas ging het ook weer mis bij het dessert. Dit "restaurant"koopt z'n nagerechten in en bewaard ze in de vriezer. Tip: Ontdooi de appeltaartjes voordat je ze opdient, het voelt zo koud aan je tanden als ze niet goed ontdooit zijn. We kregen een gratis kopje waterige espresso aangeboden voor het ongemak van de bevroren toetjes. De toetjes werden niet van de rekening gehaald. Volgende dag het restaurant gebeld met de mededeling dat 4 personen van ons gezelschap over hebben gegeven( allemaal steak tartaar gegeten). We kregen een geweldige tegemoetkoming: 2 glaasjes champagne bij een volgend bezoek. We waren met z'n twaalven, dat wordt delen. Nooit meer George!!!

We went there on valentines and they had decorated the restaurant with a valentine theme, even a pack of cards with questions for it that we could ask each other.

I agree with the opinions on the proportions.. They are small and the restaurant has nothing to do with French cuisine, for example the fondue has the taste and texture of the fondues sold in bags in supermarkets. Another example, we wanted to have bread to accompany cold meats.. 6.50 euros for half a baguette.. In short, really not great..

Very disappointing - Food was poor - Snails were served WITHOUT butter and garlic .... Aubergine to be avoided, since no interest . Moules average. Onion Soup with melted bread ... frankly TO BE AVOIDED . So many good places to eat in Amsterdam that this one is not needed .

The stay begins with the fears that I had…I had had a lot of negative feedback on the restaurants in Amsterdam…I understand €25 for a steak and fries, that's still okay, except that the meat wasn't of good quality, 4 fries on the plate that I shared with my partner because we didn't know that we had to take the extra side dishes... The waiter didn't speak English very well and had just started, however my companion laughed with him to relax him :) We also saw a mouse but hey between entrances and exits in the restaurant I'm going to let doubts speak in favor of the restaurant ;) 66€ anyway for 1 bottle of water almost taken with obligation, a glass of red wine that stings and really mediocre dishes...

De kerstsfeer was goed getroffen, met prachtige decoratie die de ruimte een warme, feestelijke uitstraling gaf. Daarnaast was het gezellig druk en en dus een prima ambiance! De prijs is wat hoger, maar gezien de locatie is dat begrijpelijk. De Engelstalige serveerster was echt perfect en dat mag zeker gezegd worden na de mindere reviews in het verleden: ze liet ons verschillende wijnen proeven om de beste keuze te maken en checkte regelmatig of alles naar wens was in een ontspannen sfeer. De kaasfondue met steak was heerlijk en paste perfect bij de tijd van het jaar. Al met al een fijne en gezellige ervaring.

Le Petit George in Amsterdam is a cozy French bistro known for its warm ambiance, attentive service, and classic French dishes. With its charming decor and a menu ranging from fresh croissants to hearty dinners, it’s a perfect spot for any time of the day. Great value and a welcoming atmosphere make it a local favorite.

A very good experience!! Thanks to Ole, our waiter who was extremely nice and sweet! I don’t understand the bad comments:(

I was here on Christmas eve 2024 with my parents, brother and girlfriend. The place is well situated in a neighborhood just next to the Vondelpark. The weather was awful but none of that mattered inside: the place was full with guests but not too crowded. There is a bar in the middle and surrounding it are the tables for the guests who come here to eat something. The service was excellent: we were helped quickly and somebody asked if everything was ro our liking at appropriate intervals. The table space was just enough (we were situated around two rond tables with 3 chairs and 2-person wall-bench). It was possible to have conversations with everybody without having to raise our voices considerably. The food was well prepared. The only thing that stood out to me were the portion sizes. Depending on what you order from the menu, the portion sizes can vary. The onion soup starter for example has a considerable size compared to some of the other starters. If you are hungry and expect to have a big appetite I would definitely go for the soup as a starter. Besides the decent portionsize it also tastes very, very good! The other starters were also well prepared and tasted good but for me the soup stood above the rest. For the main course My dad had chosen the mussels, two others had the cordon blue and I had the chicken paillard. Here the difference in size stood out: the mussels were significantly smaller in total size compared to the cordon blue and paillard. Out of these, I would recommend the cordon blue: it was a very well sized portion and the meat was absolutely tender and tasty. The paillard tasted really nice too but the meat was just a bit overcooked making them less tender than I had hoped. The supplemented fries were good, exactly what you might expect from them. The deserts were all well prepared and of equal portion sizes so that served as a big plus at the end of our evening. The wines that were ordered were excellent choices by the way. All in all we had a lovely evening and I would come here again in the future.

Had a delicious lunch at Le Petit George. Definitely recommended!

Subject: Outrageous and disappointing What started as a pleasant evening at Le Petit George ended in pure annoyance. This restaurant shows how to frustrate customers with ridiculous portions, high prices and rude service. We ordered the cheese fondue for €24 per person. After just 10 pieces of bread the cheese was already gone. When I kindly asked an employee for a refill, it turned out that the mini pan (which was only 2/3 full!) was the full portion. Meanwhile, the basket of dry, hard brown bread – which you can hardly eat, by the way – was still largely full, as were the vegetables. White bread? That will cost you €7 extra for 1/6 of a baguette. Really scandalous. When I indicated that the quantity was not normal, I received a blunt response from an (Asian) employee: “Yes, most people are just full, so you should order a new portion.” No attempt at understanding, apologies, or a solution. My appetite wasn't even a quarter satisfied, even though I'm not a big eater. I reluctantly, against my principles, ordered a second pan because I was simply hungry. That second pan was also barely enough. In the end we even had to order a third pan to leave the table somewhat satisfied. The total? €72 for three mini pans of cheese, which was still basically not enough for two people. This is downright ridiculous. When I looked at online reviews, I discovered that several people had already complained about the tiny portions. The owner apparently responded with understanding with “we will discuss it internally.” What a joke, because when I spoke to a Dutch colleague about that so-called “internal discussion,” I was told snarlingly that nothing had been discussed. This is just how they work – squeezing customers for ridiculous prices. And another thing: there were far too few staff, which made it difficult to speak to anyone at all. There was no customer friendliness whatsoever, and you could forget about compensation or a cup of coffee on the house. Scandalous and rude. This restaurant doesn't deserve to have customers. My advice: boycott this place. Go eat somewhere where you get value for your money and where customers are taken seriously.

Fondue was very tasty and the atmosphere was pleasant!

Not really my thing. Tables crammed together. As far as I'm concerned, it's not easy to sit on

On Sunday 2 servants working. Cheese fondue cold, bread old and dry. Best was the wine. And you can buy them elsewhere too. NOT recommended.

Cappuccino with warm Madeleine's and homemade lemon curt 👌A top recommendation!

Lovely restaurant. Just called in for a coffee and had a wonderful fondue with wine! Relaxed atmosphere and warm friendly service. Tastefully decorated for Christmas too. ☺️

A very nice location, nicely decorated, and friendly service with an extensive menu. However, the temperature could be better regulated; with only one small heater in the space, it was extremely cold inside for most guests…

Le Petit George in Amsterdam exudes a cozy, French-inspired charm with its warm ambiance and attentive service. It’s an excellent spot for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience in the city.

The place is indeed gorgeous. The prices are outrageous, especially with such mediocre quality. French cuisine is poorly represented and the waiter couldn't have been more non-chalant.

24 euros for a fondue where you get some vegetables and a basket of bread. I left the table hungry. The food itself is tasty, but far too little for the high price. The aperitif snacks: shrimp croquette and cheese croquette are very small and both at high prices 12 and 10 euros.

Location is very nice, but after 30 minutes I left. They even hadnt the time to clean the table people before me was using.

We hebben 1,5 uur gewacht op 2 gerechten, nl een boterham met wat stukjes tomaat en een klein beetje burrata en een salade niçoise zonder tonijn, één zielig ansjovis filetje en qua opmaak niet al te best. Hier hebben we voor bedankt en zijn elders gaan lunchen. Bediening overigens vriendelijk, maar konden het vandaag helaas niet aan.

Anunciado como un bistró francés, sin duda la decoración y el menú lo sugeriría. Los titulares llegaron a tiempo, pero ahí es donde termina la positividad. Casi dos horas después de llegar el plato principal estaba servido, bueno la mayor parte, tuvimos que recordar al personal de camarera lo que habíamos pedido! ¡Incluso entonces un plato no se materializó a pesar de que estaba en la factura final! La comida era simple, pero porciones un poco pequeñas para el precio. La cocina tiene problemas si se tarda 2 horas en sacar bistec, patatas fritas y una ensalada.

Best spot for a cozy hot chocolate in the rain. The chocolate mousse is fantastic, the best I’ve ever had. Servers are attentive without being intrusive.

Had to wait a long time for food, damn it. Truly terrible.

A good cafe with tasty drinks and food, only service was slow and they sometimes forgot to come to us, so food was cold when I got to tefel

It is my first time here in Amsterdam and I found this cafe very nice. I ordered a Cappuccino and a Mousse au Chocolate and I have to say that is my first time that I found a nice Cappuccino out of Italy, also the Mousse was delicious.

We ate dinner here on September 16th, the service and food were delicious! I highly recommend the bass, the salmon, soup and escargot. Service was nice too. I was surprised at some of the other reviews. We really enjoyed our meal here!! And the music was nice. Their French aesthetic is cozy and lovely.

Cenamos aquí el 16 de septiembre, el servicio y la comida eran deliciosos! Recomiendo encarecidamente la lubina, el salmón, la sopa y el escargot. El servicio era agradable también. Me sorprendió algunas de las otras reseñas. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida aquí! Y la música era agradable. Su estética francesa es acogedora y encantadora.

Nice terrace in the neighbourhood, cosy and everything is nice. Recommend their drinks, especially Pornstar Martini

At Le Petit George I enjoyed a perfectly prepared steak – tender, juicy and full of flavour. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service completed the evening. Definitely recommended for lovers of a good steak!

Mixed feelings. We have eaten here for dinner and it was relatively good, lot of pre-made items on the menu and not everything is freshly made in the restaurant but the confit is always great. The service is very french even though they’re Dutch. Arrogant and non-caring. But we had breakfast here recently and it was very very lacking. The french omelette was an embarrassment and all the other dishes looked and tasted thrown together which might have been because of an off-day. But oof it made me never wanting to return. Especially because we had guests over from London. A waste of breakfast-potential. Also, overpriced for the quality you get.

Hi, I was just there at 11:03 PM and couldn't order a drink anymore... The last round had already passed

Great place, very friendly, beautiful place.

Fuimos a almorzar, pedimos la hamburguesa de queso, el filete con papas fritas y el filete de pollo de los niños, todo estaba tan sabroso! Incluso pedimos el ratón au chocolate yumm, gracias!

Very nice and quiet spot. Food was excellent and very tasty.

Waited 45mins for food that arrived cold and dry (eggs) and only one dish out of two arrived. Can’t even blame the rush, restaurant was not even 1/3 full at lunch.

First time there, not going back. Took an hour to get served cold and dry food - which had to be sent back. Waitresses were on their phones and / or talking to each other.

Service friendly but food was slow and required chasing. Had salads (cob and rucola) both of which were fine, but worse than we’d make at home. Certainly not at the standard of the original cafe George, would go back for a drink but not food.

Nice terrace, nice atmosphere. Great business!

Very disappointing. Perhaps the waitress was new or having a bad day, but we had to chase up drinks and food constantly. 45 minutes before we were given our drinks is unacceptable. Ruined the experience and should have walked out, to be honest. It could have been so much better. It was busy enough, so obviously popular, but I wouldn't go back.

We had a delicious meal on a Sunday evening with our 4-year-old son. Excellent children's menu, cozy atmosphere and excellent service. Very surprised at the low reviews. Price/quality is excellent. Delicious food in a non-touristy location.

Too expensive for what they offer and most importantly, how they treat guests. We had reservation for 3 and our table was not ready but when i asked if they can prepare table for us on terrace as we made lunch reservation, answer was “just pick up table” and there were no free tables. On top of being rude, service was as well very slow and food was overcooked. So definitely to expensive for what you get.

The portion sizes are outrageous. The garnish is not included in the price of the main course and even bottled water has the price of mineral water I really don't recommend

Fantastic dinner in Le Petit George! Two wonderful and kind waitresses, delicious food (not to mention the marvelous gluten free bread with butter), great wine and perfect music. The burrata salad and the steak tartare were super tasty (also gluten free ). I strongly recommend them! The place has a nice decoration and was not too crowded nor too lonely. Would love to come back!

I’m really surprised by the negative reviews because we've always had great experiences here, unlike at other places. We've tried many items on the menu and loved everything. In my opinion, this is the best brunch spot in the city! The location is fantastic, especially on sunny days when you can enjoy the terrace. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I’d give it a 10/10.

Too expensive and the food is not worth the price

Bad food, rude staff and crazy prices. I strongly advise against it

Terrible experience, really rude and harsh waiter that seemed almost annoyed of us, he asked us if we wanted bread and olives that we accepted without knowing that they would have been charged 12 € !!!!! It was really expensive for nothing special and was not even authentic french food. Finally we saw on the receipt 7€ for tap water and 14 € for unknown items that we never ordered and never got!!!! Stay away from this restaurant!!!

Would avoid if possible. The staff seemed to take offence at having to setup a table, the food was cold and they found plenty of surprise charges to add to our bill. The drinks were nice and so was the atmosphere but unfortunately it couldn’t make up for the service and food.

A very good French restaurant, I absolutely recommend steak frite meal!

Niçoise salad, croissant, coffee were great😍The pancakes, breakfast and the girl who served made our day great👍

We felt welcome from the first moment, the manager had everything in order! Will be back soon

Perfect day on the patio drinking a spritz

The atmosphere was very cozy, but the service was disappointing.

The bad reviews don't do this place justice! Have been here multiple times and always had great food and decent service (for Amsterdam standards ;-)). Love the terrace space - great place for lunch or an after work with a quick bite.

Super cute terrace to have lunch! It is fully in the sun at noon and is very enjoyable.

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Prices are reasonable.

Just lunch with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon. 'I was received very warmly, had a great lunch dish and were served by super sweet, attentive, friendly girls. Worth repeating!! Thanks.

Ik bestelde 2 garnalen kroketten (€10,50!). Die kwamen ter grootte van 2 bitterballen zonder zelfs een snee brood op tafel. Nabesteld broodje moest worden afgebakken. Dat duurde erg lang, tweemaal om moeten vragen. Omdat de “bitterballen” al op waren (ik wilde ze niet koud eten) heb ik het terug gestuurd. Een fles water (€7,50 !!) werd geopend op tafel gezet. Dat hoort natuurlijk niet. Kortom een zeer karige maar wel absurd dure lunch. Een absolute afrader. Mijn gast had een baguette cannibale, die was aanzienlijk kleiner dan hij zich van een vorige keer kon herinneren.

Excellent little cafe. For breakfast that I had was ridiculously prepared and delicious.

This negative feedback is NOT because of the staff, but the managers and supervisors. The staff are very friendly, but the way the owners and managers handled us is not acceptable. I went there only once, and a very nice waitress broke few coffee glasses over us, our bags, and everything. That’s fine, accidents happen. But we expect some sort of apology on our bill. Nothing! They even delayed our order. The food is good, but not impressive for that price. I don’t recommend this place.

Worst experience I have ever had dining out. Staff are totally disinterested. The restaurant was almost completely empty but when we asked for a table it felt like such an inconvenience for them. We were left sitting at a table for 15 mins without anyone approaching us. Avoid.

Very poor and rude service, especially if you address the staff in English. They probably assume you're just a tourist rather than a repeat customer who lives in the neighbourhood. Can't explain in any other way how people who actually work in horeca could act so disinterested and rude.

Today we sat on the sunny terrace at Le Petit GEORGE, the staff is super friendly and attentive, we were helped quickly and well. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! Authentic French cuisine and a charming atmosphere make this bistro a must-visit. Friendly staff completes the experience.

To start with, the service was extremely poor. The outside door that we were sitting next to was not closed, we had to close it ourselves. Meat was cold and well done (medium rare requested). Plates were picked up while we had not yet finished eating and dessert was requested while 2 of us were still dining. We were made to feel as if we were not wanted. In short, a bad experience and a place to quickly forget

We appreciated the friendly service, reasonable prices, and delicious food. A great neighborhood spot!

We have lived in this area for 15 years and I love the food here but the service is horrendous - today it was so bad we walked out before even ordering - the menu was slapped down on the dirty table on top of a dollop of mayonnaise, which was then smeared all over the menu - we asked for the table to be cleaned, we waited….and waited, then when someone did come out to clean they went to every other table by ours, this is when we left. As I said this is not our first visit or first experience with horrific service at this restaurant - it happens every time we go, hence why I felt compelled to write review.
