The College Restaurant & Terrace in Museumkwartier

Stunning location with very high-quality food. The Social Deal promotion is amazing: 3 or 4 courses with a wine pairing with each course; highly recommended!

Extremely good value for money. Nice to eat at a hotel school training hotel, impeccable service, more than tasty food, and very good wine pairing.

Hardly anyone here and the service was awful. 25 minutes to get a glass of wine after ordering. Almost like we are being ignored. Don’t come here unless you want to spend your whole day here.

We stopped by Brasserie du College at The College Hotel for tea and light snacks - have always been curious about it and my friends and I are always looking for a quiet place to hang. The ambiance is pleasant and the setting lovely, but unfortunately the service was extremely disappointing. There were five staff members on the floor, yet not one was attentive to us. We watched another couple be seated and they, too, waited around 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged them or took their order. The staff appeared disengaged, spending most of their time chatting amongst themselves at the bar. When we finally ordered, the waiters had very little knowledge of the menu. I asked how many prawns came with the prawn skewers and was told three — only two arrived. Throughout our visit, every time we needed something, I had to get up and chase someone down. For a bar in a five-star hotel, this level of service is simply unacceptable. When I went to pay the bill and raised the issue, the manager avoided the conversation entirely and literally turned his back to me rather than addressing the complaint, which was particularly rude and unprofessional. We live in the area of Oud Zuid and I thought this would be a nice place to hang out with my friends but Sadly, we won’t be returning.

We were staying at the hotel where this brasserie is located, and one night we were too tired to go out, so we decided to give it a try. The service was pleasant and polite. The pace was normal for a European restaurant, though I can see how Americans might find it a bit slow. The food was actually better than expected—proving that low expectations can sometimes be a good thing! 😂 My husband, being hungrier, ordered a salad and a risotto, both of which he said were surprisingly good. I stuck to bar-style food: fried calamari and diner sliders. The calamari was just average, and of the two sliders (one burger, one fried chicken), only the burger was decent—the chicken was overcooked. I had a mocktail, which was underwhelming, and my husband had a beer that didn’t live up to the amazing Belgian beers he’d been enjoying earlier in the trip. All in all, it was not bad, but nothing remarkable either. The total bill was around $90 USD, which is about what you’d expect from a hotel restaurant.

We had a family brunch on Saturday. Very nice and pleasant dining environment. The waiter was very kind. Service was great.

Excellent afternoon tea with delicious food and excellent service

Enchanting ambiance, friendly and professional staff. Beautiful location in Amsterdam.

Bad service, the service was absolutely terrible. It took ages for the food to arrive, and it's ridiculously overpriced, and you get almost nothing. 20 euros for a hamburger, and then you have to pay extra for fries. Don't come. It looks nice, but the service is incompetent and terrible. Avoid this restaurant. Don't be tempted by the beautiful building.

A truly wonderful and pleasant experience! Lovely atmosphere, ambitious, and hospitable, friendly staff! My first visit and definitely not the last! The garden, including the seating, is fantastic, and everything is more than well-maintained. Everything in the hotel and restaurants is also perfect! A big thumbs up for the staff 🍀

One of the best hotel terraces in Amsterdam! I was so happy to be there with my girlfriend; it was the perfect introduction to the city for her.

The College Hotel Bar & Bistro offers an exquisitely fine dining experience. In a chic and contemporary comfortable atmosphere with gentle lighting and music. Even the restroom is a dream. With eyes kept on every delicate detail. I was delightedly hosted by an amazing, dedicated and attentive team. Isabella, Rafael and Leandro are the cream of the crop ! The truffle risotto is heavenly ! Carefully cooked to perfection. And they also serve the best crème brûlée in Amsterdam !! What a terrific treat !

On our way home, we craved a hot drink and dessert. We happened to walk past the College Hotel and spontaneously decided to pop in. Even though the restaurant was quite full around 8 p.m. and we hadn't made a reservation, we received a friendly welcome. Because we preferred not to be among the other diners, the hostess offered us a quiet table. This attentive service was immediately noticeable. When we looked at the dessert menu, we discovered that all the options contained eggs, which was a problem for one of us who is a vegetarian. Fortunately, the staff was helpful, and the chef was able to create a suitable alternative. This allowed us to enjoy the meal together. A spontaneous visit that was a pleasant surprise. The College Hotel excels in hospitality and flexibility. A wonderful place for a relaxing end to the evening.

We chose this place to celebrate my birthday, with my family (11 people). When we arrived, the tables were not ready and we waited for 10-15 minutes to get seated. The service overall was good but every request took so long: just bringing menus took half an hour… we waited long for everything: for drinks, for starters, main courses came in an hour..! Food was very good, quality was great, but the speed was very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend this place. They need to add more waiters to make a stay in this restaurant an enjoyable experience.

Fresh, delicious summer flavors in a secret garden. Great spot for bites and summer dinners.

Nice Place, original food. Great service
