Café in the City is a nice spot on Leidseplein with a lively atmosphere. The staff is friendly and generally ensures a good experience.
The food is what you would expect, and the sushi is reasonably priced. However, the lobster was disappointing; it was overcooked and therefore tough. Unfortunately, no new ones were offered, so we ate it right away.
During club hours, the bouncer can come across as a bit rude to men, which makes the reception less pleasant. As soon as the DJ starts, the atmosphere picks up and it becomes fun, although it can get quite noisy.
All in all, a place with potential, but with somewhat mixed experiences.
Nice food, it says they open at 11:00. But unfortunately, we had to look for another restaurant for brunch, because they don't actually open until 12:00.
I was absolutely thrilled with El Asador! The moment you walk in, you feel the warm, inviting atmosphere – the lighting, the music, and the aroma of the grill instantly make you want more. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive.
The steak was simply perfect – tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection. The side dishes were also fresh and flavorful, especially the grilled vegetables and the homemade chimichurri sauce.
You can tell that the food is cooked with passion. The value for money is truly excellent for Amsterdam! I highly recommend El Asador to anyone who loves good meat and authentic South American cuisine. I'll definitely be back! 💪🏻
Unfortunately the barista today said that they’re not receiving any snoopy merch until later date, while all other Starbucks in the city had them (and it was official launch date) and staff seemed surprised when I told them this on another location. It is concerning that the employees here said this, maybe management should look into it.
Really bad service, sat outside for at least 20 minutes waiting to order. Even went into the bar and asked if we could order where they asked me to go outside instead and wait for a waiter to come to our table. When the waiter came we asked for our three drinks of which I was clear that I did NOT want the gin and tonic variant of pink panther which is exactly what I got :( really sad. Will not come back here again and do not recommend others to go there.
I had a sandwich with ham, cheese and egg. The roll was very hard and crunchy. Forgot the napkin. Staff seem disengaged and not friendly. Tipping is not customary in Netherlands but the payment app requests a tip. Would not recommend this place.
