    Most polite waiter ever!

    It's hard to beat drinks by the canal especially this little spot! Fab place to watch the world and boats go by. The young lad that served us was an absolute delight, so polite and friendly. Great end to a lovely weekend.

    Cute pit stop pub/cafe

    We loved this cute little pub on Egelantiersgracht in Jordan. After a full day of sightseeing we were looking for somewhere to refuel for an hour before dinner. Found this by accident and went inside for drinks. Lovely old wooden bar inside. The next day...More

    Quintessential brown cafe

    What a beautiful old bar! This place dates to 1786 and has fantastic ambiance. Leaded glass windows, tiled floors, wood paneling, it’s small and bustling. Not a place to go if you’re in a hurry. The wait staff is running, but they can’t keep up....More

    A canalside cafe you could spend the whole day at.

    We accidentally stumbled across this canal-side café for pre-dinner drinks on our first day in Amsterdam and spent the rest of our trip trying to find an open table here. Small outside seating area that almost makes you feel like you're floating in the canal...More

    Long wait, Rude staff - Avoid

    We visited this cafe as a group of six for lunch. There was no space outside so we asked if there was a table inside. We were guided upstairs (so the staff knew we were there). We then waited about 20 mins but know one...More

    Jordaan
    One of Amsterdam’s most preferred outdoor markets and
    some of the city’s favorite watering holes are but two
    of the many reasons to save ample time for a stroll
    through this especially convivial warren of narrow
    streets with its unfair share of quirky shops and
    quality galleries. Historically a haven for the
    working class and emigrants, these days the Jordaan is
    better known as an enclave for artists and designers.

    We were travelling Canadians eating at this restaurant. You would need to contact them to ask if they are open.

    I would definitely go direct to the restaurant. Many places have set their small evening menus by early afternoon and you can call and set time --or stop in on an afternoon stroll to set a time later that evening.
