This wasn't great. Can't speak for all dishes of course, but the vegetarian pad thai was boring and without much taste. I got drawn to this place because the high rating here, so i just want to add some balance
Super nice cocktails, got them last minute and they are quite potent. Had a great time and they tasted super yummy and super sweet. Lady is also nice and packaged everything really well didnt have any issues carrying it on the bike + gave me extra cups and straws :))
After the renovation, the place feels much nicer — clean, cozy, and welcoming. We really enjoyed the food inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine, full of flavour and well balanced. Attentive and friendly service made the visit even more pleasant.
Café Hoppe is simply perfect: an absolute Amsterdam classic that fully lives up to its reputation. We stopped by in the middle of a hectic day, and it was the ideal place to warm up, relax, and escape the chaos.
We loved all the beers we tried, and we also had the typical Dutch jenever, which was such a fun and delicious addition. The bitterballen were excellent, perfectly crispy and exactly what you hope for with a cold drink.
The iconic sand on the floor gave it that old-school, authentic feel, and despite being right in the middle of the city, it felt cozy and calm (we went at midday). The atmosphere is warm, charming, and genuinely local.
Service was super friendly, welcoming, and fast, which made the whole experience even better.
Very disappointing experience. The burger was extremely dry and almost tasteless. The vegetables felt undercooked and added no flavor at all.
We asked to replace the burger with a steak, but the steak arrived after a very long wait and looked honestly terrible. It was not properly cooked, so we decided to cancel it altogether.
The fries were another letdown — both too dry and too oily at the same time, which made them unpleasant to eat.
The only thing that was somewhat okay was the mac & cheese, but unfortunately one decent item can’t save the overall experience.
For the price and expectations, this was far below standard. I wouldn’t normally write a negative review, but this visit really missed the mark.
