We've been coming here for a while now, and Arie truly feels like our go-to spot in De Pijp. It hits the mark every single time. The location is fantastic, of course; from the terrace, you have a great view of the vibrant Ferdinand Bolstraat, while inside, you're embraced by a warm, cozy atmosphere that feels just like a comfortable living room.
What truly sets Arie apart for us is the staff. From the moment you walk in, you are seen and greeted with a smile. That genuine, attentive service is a breath of fresh air and, unfortunately, not the standard everywhere in Amsterdam. You feel truly welcome here.
And then there's the food and drinks... we had another amazing lunch this time. The menu is just right: not overly complicated, but filled with delicious, high-quality dishes. Whether you go for a generous snack board, the famous Holtkamp bitterballen, or another dish, it's always tasteful and well-prepared. The drink menu is also excellent, with a great selection of craft beers and good wines.
Even the details are right here right down to the restrooms, which are always remarkably clean and fresh. Arie is the kind of place where everything just clicks: the atmosphere, the service, the food, and the drinks. An absolute recommendation for anyone looking for a relaxed, high-quality, and warm hearted experience. See you again soon!
