Very noisy place, I wouldn't recommend it for couples but only for friends groups. Food is not bad but I wasn't really happy with my dishes (full artichoke almost impossible to eat, with heavy leaves and all the beard which is not edible and camambert which was good but really too much to be considered a starter for one person). My boyfriend was less dissatisfied than me. Recommended for friends? Maybe. For couples? Definitely no

Cosy decor and welcoming staff, food is good and above the usual average quality what you also pay for. We had the entrecôte and the seared salmon as starter which was quite nice.

Superlekkere mosselen, moeite waard om halve stad voor door te fietsen. Snelle hoewel ietwat onervaren bediening. Gezellige sfeer, wel lawaaiig/slechte accoustiek.

Sympatiek, superaardige bediening gezellige sfeer en mosselen om je vingers bij af te likken. Tip: zorg dat de menukaart online synchroniseert met de menukaart ter plekke.

Waited over 1.5 hours for our food. Asked staff multiple times for the menu, drinks, and food - and still didn't get it. Only after going directly to the bar and asking a 3rd time did we get our orders.

Mijn favoriete buurtcafe! Voor alle gelegenheden: met vrienden, familie, of collega's. Aardig personeel, lekker zonnetje op het terras, goed assortiment aan biertjes. Het is lekker pretentieloos. Je kan er een burgertje komen eten met friet, of een vegan Marokkaanse hartige taart. Voor iedereen wat, en het maakt ook niet uit. Alles kan. Het zit op een gezellig pleintje (waar de toeristen nog niet komen) en het is het leukste restaurant van de Spaarndammerbuurt.
