Restaurant Flame in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

When we went to pay, I luckily took my receipt, as there was an extra menu item that we didnt ask for, when I queried it, the waitress had to ring her manager, it was like they put it on hoping we wouldnt know. I had to get euro cash back, which was inconvenient - so beware - get your receipt & check it!!

Very central and friendly service !!

Very good, thank you. Good service from the staff and the food was good.

We had a fabulous fried breakfast.

We met up with friends for drinks. The cappuccino was delicious! It's a shame there weren't any snacks (like waffles, cookies, or pastries) available.

The food is just okay and way too expensive and the service doesn't live up to the price. In short, it's a tourist trap.

Food is lovely. But with the price you pay, it doesn't matter match the quality of the food you get.

We only stopped there briefly for a short break. Unfortunately, we were greeted very rudely from the start and received disapproving looks as soon as we sat down. We only ordered a beer and a still water, so I can't comment on the food. What was truly disappointing, however, was the overall service. We felt completely unwelcome. Furthermore, we had to pay immediately upon ordering and were treated rather disinterestedly during our brief visit. While I noticed that the employee treated other guests similarly, the atmosphere was nonetheless very unpleasant. Therefore, I would unfortunately not recommend this place for a quick break.

I had breakfast at this place and really enjoyed the experience. I ordered Eggs Benedict and asked for a small change, removing the bacon, which they were happy to accommodate. I also had a fresh orange juice and a cappuccino. The staff is very kind, and even though the place is quite busy, they managed the waiting times really well. The dish was tasty and well prepared. Definitely a good spot for breakfast!

Sat on the patio. The food was good but service was not so we chose not to leave a tip. Just wanted tap water with ice but that wasn’t allowed and we were charged 4 euros for a small bottle of water. Had to go look for her to finally pay. As we left I realized that I forgot my water bottle on the table. So I went back 30 seconds later and she said oh it’s inside. She made no effort to call me over. Probably did that because we didn’t tip.

04/14/2026 everything was great. Incredibly delicious breakfast. The fish is delicious, fried. The fries are big and delicious. The salmon sandwich is incredible. The Americano coffee is real, big and delicious. You leave the station and immediately cross the bridge and end up in this cafe. The service is excellent, the waitress Maria is very friendly and always ready to help. We got only positive impressions.

The food was rather mediocre. We went there for breakfast, but the prices are quite high for what you get. The orange juice is also expensive, but it's really delicious.

Very good restaurant, well located, the food is simple but well cooked and the cocktails are very good too!

Went at a quiet time, 8pm, early spring, Tuesday, no waiting. Simple no frills food, cooked and presented very well. Price reflects the location near Amsterdam Central railway station.

Very friendly, very tasty. Very crowded depending on the time of day. One star deducted for the food because it's rather expensive.

The drinks are terrible and the bartender doesn’t know how to make the basic cocktails. The service also didn’t help and accept the feedbacks.

they didnt let us split the bill. place is kind of expensive and definitely not worth it

Fresh produce and very friendly service. The Chinese gentleman was very kind and personable, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

The waiters were incredibly rude and unfriendly. A 0 out of 10.

Good food Good service Very clean place

The ribs were tender and tasty, and the hamburger meat was tasty; the potatoes were just average, like regular potato chips.

Not the best experience all I have to say ☹️

We can only comment on the drinks, as we didn't eat anything. The Pornstar Martini is delicious, one of the best we've ever had! Friendly staff who serve quickly. Nice atmosphere.

We encountered a very incompetent waiter, he was wearing glasses. He didn't even know what kind of hot chocolate they served. He also approached us while we were still drinking our drinks and insistently asked us to pay the bill, as he thought we might just leave.

The waiter with glasses is rude, doesn’t know the menu items

The food was okay, but nothing special. The waitress seemed very uninterested.

We drunk yust Coffee. No biscuit. Poor service.

Food was good, but nothing fancy, and the prices were a bit high. The waitress June was fantastic, and a big part and why I rated it four stars and not three.

Terrible service, €5.50 for a cappuccino from a vending machine, it doesn't even taste like coffee. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

overpriced frozen food without a smile

Excellent service, thank you very much, we didn't eat there, just drank drinks.

Attended on 17/9/25. Beautiful place, but very overpriced. €15.50 for 8 bitterballen. You can get 8 bitterballen for half the price at the place next door.

A laughable attempt of breakfast. ! Expensive AND horrible.

Too expensive for the quantity of food Unpleasant waitress

As tourist we were out enjoying the city after a canal cruise and decided to stop for a little something to eat. This location from the street looked warm and inviting and we were not disappointed. The fare was simple but welll prepared. We sample a local specialty, the Dutch Butter Balls, as well as the calamari. The food was tasty, served hot and the service was quick.

We got Dutch breakfast sandwich and all three of them really missed the point of how it should be.

Do not choose the Restaurant near the main route or trainstation, the service, food and time to wait are below the lowest standard. I ordered a lemonade, paid asked by the waiter and was ghosted later, when asked another waiter she told me my order is not in the system. The tables were not full and it was not an rush hour. Just coffee if possibile and not pay until you will be served ;)

Hot chocolate felt a bit watery, tea was okay tho. Awful atmosphere and children treating seating as playground had to wait a solid 20 minutes after telling staff we'd like to pay until we got out there during not really super crowded hours

In my opinion, this restaurant falls somewhere between fast food and a restaurant. The food certainly wasn't bad and was sufficient, but for the price, you'd expect a more elaborately presented plate. What's absolutely unacceptable is that I asked for the bill to be rounded up to €100, but €103.40 was charged. I don't care about the €3.40, but I call that downright stealing!

If you want to close, please do, but don't bother the customers

Very delicious food, kind staff and best coffee i tried in amsterdam so far.

Very good meal, very quick served. We had Salmon, Ribs and Schnitzel and everything was perfect. For me price was a little over average but honestly I have no comparison to other Restaurants in Amsterdam so for us price/quality was ok. We would definitely recommend it.

Not Full English breakfast at all. You only get 2 eggs, 2 chipolatas, think rashes of dry bacon, hash browns are heavy-laden with grease after a deep deep fry. You only get a slice of bread. Everything is over-priced and quality doesn't match with the 15.50€, sorry to say.

We visited this cafe, the menu is quite simple. We ordered chicken chops with garnish and lamb ribs. Everything was delicious! But I think the lamb ribs could have been cheaper than 34€. The only thing we didn't like was that it was a bit dirty outside.

Nice staff, cold beer, near the train station! We like it ❤️

Had a glass of wine. Nice rest stop in busy downtown.

The cappuccino was very expensive and there wasn't even a cookie. The bowl was also very small. The service also immediately took the pin machine with them...

Travelled to Amsterdam with my mom and this place had the best food and hands down best customer service ever! Very fast service. We went here like three times Will definitely make this our first stop once we’re back.

Lured in by its central location and the look of a typical Amsterdam tourist restaurant, I made the mistake of assuming that visibility might equate to quality. It does not. From the tomato soup that tasted like warm dishwater to a main course featuring meat of unknown origin and limp fries, every bite was an exercise in lowered expectations. The bill, however, had no such modesty. For food we barely touched, the prices were comically bold. We left with our plates half full and our patience entirely empty — and went elsewhere in search of an actual meal. This establishment doesn’t serve the city — it serves the illusion of convenience. A place clearly designed for one-time tourists. No local with taste would come back willingly. Avoid if you value your time, money, or taste buds.

I come here to eat every year on my first day in Amsterdam, unfortunately I have noticed that it gets worse every year, it was always a great restaurant where you can get a seat quickly, fast cooking, good food and friendly staff but now it is too expensive, the quality has gone down and the staff only work quickly and unprofessionally. For the first time in 6 years my order was even forgotten and we had to wait almost an hour for food. The salad is served without dressing and the meat is often tough these days. I hope this restaurant goes back to how it used to be otherwise they will lose a lot of customers which would be a shame because the atmosphere is very nice and it is very central and I have always enjoyed coming back.

All good, I only advise the staff not to rush the customer into paying!

€4.50 for an old, cheap tea bag from a supermarket, served shamelessly. Huge disappointment.

This steakhouse, located in a prime location, takes advantage of the circumstances. Very expensive and low quality food. And in Amsterdam you expect someone to speak Dutch, right?

The ultimate tourist trap. The Deutch Balls are 15€, the Ball is expensive and also without sauce, 2 sachets of mustard did the trick. Prices are expensive, very expensive, perhaps because of the proximity to the station, but if you go up the street you may find yourself cheaper. Personally: to avoid

Fried squid without salad a bit just as a dish. Disappointed

The staff is really very friendly, we arrived early on a Sunday morning to have breakfast, the restaurant was not yet open they were setting up and despite everything in 10 minutes they had us seated at a table. We had the Dutch breakfast, a latte and a cappuccino, a treat! Thank you for your welcome!

Food was very good! Stadf is family friendly :)

Friendly staff. Nice place to have a coffee.

Very expensive, staff a little rude.

The waitress speaks French well, that was the only nice thing :) Because she really wasn't smiling, we had the impression that she was bothered to serve us! Plus for 7.5 euros an affligem beer a smile would have been deserved 🙂🙂 The beers are much cheaper in France and the French are much nicer!

Nice cup of coffee and friendly staff!

They don't have tap water but a 200 ml bottled water for 3.5 € lol .. would not recommend Food is way below average

Nice restaurant but a bit pricey for the size of the portions. The calamari was good but only small. The service was on point

Service was great and the food was tasty

We went in early around 9.30 didn't realise they didn't open until 10am but they were sooo lovely they opened the kitchen and served us 😁 the food was lovely too 😊 thanks again

Place incredibly overpriced, 5€ for a Coke 15 for some chickenwings which is not the end of the World. However one of the servers is incredibly rude and pushy to get you out asap to sit new costumers. If you are looking to sit down and relax for a bit this is not the place.

Came in for breakfast yesterday, it was awful. 2 strings of bacon, thin Richmond sausages, eggs were just OK, 2 greasy hashbrowns, could not eat them, 1 slice of rock hard toast.

Excellent and not too expensive I recommend it

Lovely cooked breakfast. Staff very friendly

The service was fast and the food was good

Delicious breakfast and coffee!

Expensive and bad. We stopped for a coffee and it was twice as much as anywhere else, maybe because they added twice as much water and that's why it tasted that bad.

We visited this place for a light late-night snack after dinner on my first day in Amsterdam. We had calamari(€11.50) and bitter balls(€12.50). The bitter balls was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they were surprisingly delicious. It was close to my hotel and also near Amsterdam Central Station, so the location was convenient.

Unpleasant welcome like I have rarely seen, not a hello, and a welcome so contemptuous that if you are a tourist I can only advise you to go and offer your money to more welcoming traders, there are many in the center

Been here many times over the last few years on visits. Always good service and nice food

Small venue right across from centraal station. Small selection on the menu and small seating area inside and outside. Food was good but the head on the pint was huge!

Amazing lunch and really great service thank you!!

Very good quality food. Staff friendliness, improving, but still acceptable.

Delicious food yesterday, smooth service, steak was perfectly prepared, nice lady serving, can easily sit outside

Food lovely.Place spotless.Bit pricey but worth it.

Only thing “English” about my breakfast was the price. A thimble full of beans, weird little sausages, frozen hash brown patties, lame bread. Fried eggs were good, service was good. Coffee was way overpriced. €18 and still hungry!

Great English breakfast good to start the day and keep you going reasonably priced good coffee ☕️ 👍

Coffee way too expensive, english breakfast was small and very average (no mushrooms, tomatoes) and the service was rubbish

the food itself is passable but the portions are way too small for what you get, the service is beyond terrible (even for amsterdam centraal). overpriced coffee.

It is one of the few places that is open at 8 in the afternoon. You have very delicious beers and you can also eat them. The fries are very delicious. The guys who serve are very friendly.

The dish presentation was quite ok, but the taste... NOT! It was a good waste of € 29.50, for some Salmon & Chips... the "garlic sauce" was a cheap commercial sauce, which tasted like the -,99 cent sauce from Aldi... and the chips were dry, tasteless.🤦🏼‍♀️

Really good food, but located in a densely populated place.

The worst service / the server was rude and disrespectful she noted a wrong order without even focusing.

Visted here for the second time on this visit to Amsterdam. Our first visit was excellent, we sat outside, on our second visit, it was a cool day so we wanted to sit inside, however we were told that my husband's ADI accredited service dog could not be inside the restaurant, even after we explained that she is a service dog, the host begrudgingly allowed us after we explained that the government of the Netherlands says service dogs are allowed in public places including restaurants, but the feeling we got was that we really weren't welcome so rather than stay inside we just sat outside, as situations like this cause my husband stress and anxiety....we love the food here but it was just very disappointing to not feel welcomed due to my husband's disability.

Excelent food, nice people, very recomendable

Food is mediocre. The fish and chips was pretty fishy and you pay upfront so the server never has to come back to see if you want anything else

Delicious food and very nice service! Kind regards ! :)

Well for us Italians it's always difficult to talk about food...😊 But I have to say that in this place not bad meat very good services equally prices perhaps high but considering being in Amsterdam they are fine....👍

English breakfast OK They charged me a Chili sauce for 2 euros after asking for mustard... not respectful of tourists.. too bad cause the place looked cool

Simple dishes but well cooked, I went there twice for lunch without being disappointed by either the main course or the dessert. The staff is pleasant, smiling and efficient. The setting is pleasant and the proximity to Amsterdam Central Station is practical without the restaurant being full all the time. Price-wise, it’s between €20 and €30 for most dishes.

Place is nothing special. Coffee is 5€ which is way too expensive. The coffee tasted burnt and the milk was cold. Food seemed to be also overpriced tourist garbage. Only good thing was the waitress which was nice.

Worst coffee ever had. Super expensive, very low quality. Don't go

We came here spontaneously and found space straight away. Unfortunately the prices are outrageously expensive, you pay almost €10 for a large Heineken beer, and I don't even want to start with the food. The portions are very small and taste like ready-made products. Unfortunately, it also takes a long time to be served. The coffee, on the other hand, was delicious, but at €5.50 it was way too expensive.

We stopped in one evening for drinks as our hotel was close. We ended up getting some fries, they were good. Drinks and service were good as well.
