A great spot for a quick coffee or a leisurely dinner! Good, friendly service, atmospheric spaces with vintage memorabilia, candles on the table, cozy playlists, and all reasonably priced. We go there often, highly recommended!
The prime rib was delicious, but the rest was incredibly disappointing. The hype surrounding Cafe Bern is completely unwarranted, in my opinion. There were no vegetables to dip in your cheese fondue, just the prime rib, and you could simply order a salad with sauce. We were also constantly reminded to order the next item quickly because we could only stay so late. "Do you want to order dessert? You have 20 minutes left before your reservation ends." This happened several times. The coziness and hospitality are completely gone. I recommend Het Karbeel or Proeflokaal van Wees for a cheese fondue; the service there is much warmer and there's a wider selection of vegetables for dipping. The decor is also much more inviting.
Cozy atmosphere and good food! I sometimes come here after a walk in Anna's Tuin & Ruigte. It's a shame, though, that every time I've been, I had to walk to the bar to order; no one has ever come to my table to take an order. You also pay at the bar yourself. Because of this, I've never left a tip. It's a lovely place, but unfortunately, the service is terrible.
Had to wait a very long time for a watery bouillabaisse that wasn't generously filled as described and had also gone cold. Shared dining has been replaced by very expensive main courses. The only positive here is the lovely terrace.
It is sad to see how customers are treated differently. The European customers who was sitting next to me paid their bill while staying at their own table, whereas me and my friend who are Asian are required to pay the bill at the front desk.
Food was decent to good, so you could eat here for a fair price, BUT the personal and the atmosphere will creep you out. We were being stared at and stressed out. Also music was way too loud
Would not recommend.
Ate here tonight, dont recommended. Our server (the guy with the dark brown hair) was very cold, we had to ask him to serve even though it wasnt busy he just kept standing an doing nothing
and he kept getting our drinks wrong. Next to that its an israeli restaurant. They used to have tel aviv salad but changed the name
Directly on Damrak, literally a couple minutes’ walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station. One of the most convenient breakfast spots in the city if you’re in/out on a layover. Service is quick — great when you’re on a tight schedule. Very nice cook!!
