Café Bern

This café-restaurant is in a nice location. The menu is small, but the food quality is good. The interior is very basic, without any frills, but the atmosphere is cozy. The staff is friendly and helpful. The starter salad was large and well-seasoned. The main course featured well-prepared meat, but personally, I was disappointed that no fries were served only bread. I would have preferred a different option. One big plus: it’s not expensive. Considering the quality, it’s great value for money. Overall, it’s a good place if you enjoy simple, well-prepared food without too much fuss.

My wife and I’s favourite place in Amsterdam to eat on an evening. Amazing fondue, steak & good house wine. A really amazing dining experience.

You can't go wrong with boiling cheese but what really surprised all of us was how good the salad was. Three steak with peppercorn sauce was fat better than any steak we had during our visit.

We booked late at about 9:45pm restaurant is very compact, we were placed on the end of another groups table, i felt it was too loud to even talk to my partner properly across the table, and every-time someone walked past it shook the table couldn’t enjoy a nice meal properly due to this. However the food was very good so i can’t fault them on that and the service was very quick and staff quite friendly

a must! amazing food, cool deco, staff are fun.

Lovely classic local favourite with a simple menu. The café Bern entrecôte was super tender and the fondue was chefs kiss. Both the white and red house wine was lovely. We will surely come back!

What a find amazing place we had fondue and steak 🥩😁 if you ever go to Amsterdam visit this restaurant you won't be dissappinted. Make sure you book it gets busy and we now know why we will certainly be booking on our next visit. The atmosphere is electric and the service from all the staff is welcoming and polite. The food is out of this world simple pleasure. Thank you cafe Bern see you next time. Very good value as well for such a good dinner.

The food and the service were really great 👌🏽

We arrived a bit too early for dinner and were told that the kitchen didn't open until 6, and also that the tables were all booked for the evening, but walk-ins could be seated at the bar. So we came back a few minutes before 6, grabbed the first bar seats, and enjoyed some fondue. I had some beers, kid had an apple juice, and my wife had the fresh-squeezed orange. They even got out a box of pencils so the kid could draw while the food was being prepared. Very fun. We just had the bread and fondue and some green bean salad, but will have to come back for steak.

Cafe Bern is our must-stop spot each time we visit Amsterdam. The restaurant is small and intimate and the menu is limited, but the service is friendly and the food is excellent. I would dare say we've had our best meals in Amsterdam at this local gem. I highly recommend the fondue and steak, the latter of which you cook yourself in this delicious garlic butter. Reservations are a must as this place fills up quickly and there is a long wait on weekends.

A real gem right in Amsterdam. I showed up before the kitchen had opened, so I got a drink that was recommended by the bar tender, a delicious prosecco that was only €5/glass! I had read reviews about the fondue and knew that I needed to order it, which was so incredibly delicious and somehow they managed to make a portion for 1! The bartender also recommended the garlic salad, which came with the most amazing dressing. I will be recommending everyone go here when visiting Amsterdam! Since I was by myself, I got to chatting with the bartenders and they were so incredibly delightful, taking good care of this American in a Dutch Restaurant! Definitely a spot for the locals!

An epic night of fondue and one of my favorite dinners I've had on this trip. Somehow we squeaked in without a reservation, and me and my friend managed to get sat at a table within a few minutes - next time I'd probably reserve a table for fear of missing out. Our server was very friendly and explained their fondue system - they had unlimited bread but no other pairings with the cheese, so he recommended us to get the pairing of 1 pot of cheese with a platter of meat - each would have their own small stove beneath. We ordered exactly that. It came with a small salad that me and my friend split - I'd recommend getting something a bit more to supplement if you have 2 people eating salad. Both cheese and meat came out at the same time and we started simmering a few pieces of meat and dug into the cheese - a classic Swiss-guyere mix, totally delicious. The meat simmered in a nice sauce - absolutely couldn't tell you its contents - and we made our way through that too. Once finished, we quenched the stoves, and our server returned a few moments later. A lovely fondue experience.

Made a reservation the day before. We got the entrecote and fondue (per other reviewers). I freaking loved it. For the price I absolutely give this a 5* review. Loved the vibe of the small restaurant, uniqueness of the food, and superb taste. A+

It's a cozy and casual restaurant. Although it was busy, there was a steady flow of tables flipping and people being seated. I shared a tomato salad, an order of fondue with steak, and found it to be enough between two considering the amount of bread we also ate. The tomato salad is fresh and topped with raw onions. It's a good contrast to the rich fondue. The fondue has a pretty strong beer taste. The steak comes raw so you let it cook for a bit over the heated plate before enjoying. Best on a cold evening.

We stumbled on this place at 10pm and decided to try it. Staff is extremely friendly and the food was delicious! Their small menu is only in Dutch but the workers were patient to explain everything to us. We ended up getting a fondue, two salads, a prime steak that you cook your own in a butter herb sauce (the steak comes out sliced, seared on the outside, and raw on the inside and you cook it to your preference in the butter). I also had a wonderful local saisson. We ended the meal with some chocolate mousse! This was our best meal in Amsterdam so far!!

This place was with the wait. It was really crowded at 8:30 and they said they were full. My fiancé asked if we can wait. Best bet is to make a reservation. After about 20 minutes, we were seated at the bar. The raw steak and cheese fondue was recommended as that is what everyone seems to come here for. I did see a lot of people order spaghetti so that might be good too We were given a basket of bread and a delicious vinaigrette salad. Our steak later came with a hot pot of cheese. It was delicious. Dip the bread in the butter and the cheese!

Good fondue at a reasonable price. We got the most popular dishes, cheese fondue with bread and beef with pesto. The pesto sauce was really garlicky and savory. Loved it. Waitor was really helpful translating the menu for us, and we paid about $20 per person, not bad at all.

We decided to check this cafe out after being recommended to come here by a couple of friends. We made a reservation the day before, which I would recommend doing because when we got there the restaurant was filled. The place itself was relatively small with some outdoor seating, a bar, and several tables inside. They were very busy so it did take a little while for the waiter to come over to us during the meal, but we didn't mind. The menu here is small with just a few entree options. We first ordered a couple of local beers that were awesome. We were recommended to order the entrecôte and the fondue by our friends so we did. The entrecôte was a sliced steak that was pretty much raw except it was a little seared on the sides. It came with a bed of a pesto like sauce, and this whole plate was over a fire. We were told to wait until the sauce started to bubble and then we could cook the meat. This dish was incredible and the steak and sauce were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend it! The cheese fondue was also over a fire and came with a lot of bread. It was rich and also delicious! The entrees also came with a side of salad. We also ordered a dessert which was a vanilla ice cream with some berry liquor that we enjoyed. We loved Cafe Bern and would definitely recommend it during your trip to Amsterdam!

This restaurant was suggested to us by a great friend who frequents Amsterdam and it did not disappoint. Seems to be more of a local hangout more than a tourist spot. Due to other reviews on Yelp, he ordered the entrecôte and the fondue and we were not disappointed. The fondue was strong and came with plenty of bread. The entrecôte was on a bed of pesto type sauce. Both were extremely tasty. Staff was indifferent but did their job well. Space was cozy with a homey feel. It was a pleasant surprise on our Amsterdam visit.

Wow what a little treasure we found in the heart of Amsterdam. Delicious wine, really good beers and the food is absolutely amazing. We started with beer and then Tempranillo wine. We ordered the fondue- wow better than any fondue I've had, although I've only had fondue in the states. But this on was superb. The service was very good, the young employees were very well trained and friendly. We were then between the entrecotte and steak au pouivre. The concept of the entrecotte was very cool, you cook it at the table but since we really love the other steak we went for the other one which was amazing. They cooked it medium rare without us asking, When we first cut into the steak we thought it looked too red, but when we took the first bite it was perfection. The staff was very nice and engaging in conversation. This was a great experience .

Based on the reviews, we walked in to have our first meal in Amsterdam and it did not disappoint. We ordered the fondue and steak with pesto sauce that you cook. Both very good! Menu is very small but there seemed to be a large selection of drinks (including wine on tap). The steak comes lightly seared but raw, and you "cook" the sliced meat in a pesto sauce on a metal plate that sits above a flame. Love that you can cook it according to your preference and the sauce was really delightful. The fondue tasted really strong at first but we kept eating it!! For two, we ordered one of each and a salad came with the meal (presumably with the meat), which tasted really crisp and fresh.

Wow! This place was so amazing that it has inspired me to write a review right away. If I gained 10 pounds after that meal, I'd say it was worth every bite! That was one of the most satisfying meals I have ever eaten. Sit at the bar, order some local Dutch craft beers, the steak fondue(cooked in Garlic Herb butter) as well as the cheese fondue. The Steak Fondue comes with choice of salad. The greens beans are excellent and go perfectly together with everything. Absolute heaven. The service was impeccable. If you do not come here during your trip to Amsterdam you're truly missing out.

Meat was super tasty Cheese tasted a little wine-y tasting. Bread is fantastic. I love this place. You know a place is good if it's mostly ALL locals & it was. Which made me know I was in the right place when I entered. Super fire. Menu is in all Dutch as well

Such a simple concept, fondue for dinner but I was blown away! I wasn't looking much forward to going here but I am so glad I did. We had the cheese fondue and the steak fondue and both were mind blowingly good. The cheese is unlike any cheese I've tried (I'm no cheese connoisseur) and the steak sauce is just amazing. The steak sauce had a hint of pesto/parsley not sure if I'm in the ballpark but it was simply delicious. It was such a great experience with my friends. Make sure to try their house wine which I loved! Definitely a must try if in the area.

Wow! what a find! On our last nite in Amsterdam we HAD to have fondue and did a quick yelp search and found Cafe Bern, a true local's gem. The entire menu was in dutch and simple so when us tourists arrived we didn't feel overwhelmed. The waitress was extremely helpful and we just let her choose our meal (steak and fondue) and chose a house wine. I was so pleased with the atmosphere, experience, service and food. 5 stars!

Horrible experience the Male bartender/ server had a stick up his ass. We asked to be seated and this employee told us they were busy and it be awhile. We were welcome to sit at bar. So we found the last table open and he said NO You can't sit there. So I found the last patio table available and I asked him if we could get spirits/cocktails while we waited on a table to open and he flat out just said no. Well You suck guy. We will never come back and certainly will never recommend you.

Cute little place with basic wonderful Swiss menu. The Entrecôte was wonderful. Little hint for those that want it cooked. You cook it in the sauce as you want to eat it. So it's perfect when you want it. It's a social food, though it works if you are by yourself.

What a great little restaurant full of locals... The place was packed at 7:30 but we were able to get a table right away. We had cheese fondue and a beef fondue that you cook in a delicious sauce yourself. A simple but very nice green salad accompanied these town dishes. The cheese fondue came with ample French bread, which was also good for sopping up the sauce that the meat cooked in. This sauce just became richer as the very tender meat cooked. The two of us were stuffed, although there appeared to be dessert.

The Cafe Bern is a quaint cafe on the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam justly famous for their Swiss fondue. This was my second visit, after first coming to the Cafe Bern more than five years ago on a trip to Amsterdam with my wife. I'm very happy to say that although the character of the Cafe Bern has changed the fondue is as delicious as ever. I went on a Tuesday night and prudently got a reservation first, since the cafe was very busy. This isn't the sort of place that you can drop by and expect to be seated, although they do serve food at the bar. They have a wide selection of beers, wines (including Swiss wines) and liquors available and a limited menu including salads, entrees such as spaghetti and steak, and some desserts. Although the other food looked delicious, you should do yourself a favor and get the fondue. It's a little on the pricey side, but well worth it. The service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance was great, but the Cafe now has a little more modern look than the last time I visited and the clientele was also a bit more cosmopolitan. This didn't take away from our meal, but it had changed from the last time I visited. If you find yourself in Amsterdam and enjoy eating copious amounts of cheese with french bread you should definitely try out Cafe Bern. Highly recommended.

Oh my cheesy goodness!!! Cafe Bern is s very lovely, quaint and cozy Swiss fondue restaurant. They have a pretty simple menu ... My friend and I shared a house salad (delicious vinaigrette), cheese fondue and a half carafe of house red wine. Service and waitstaff was great and timely! Fresh baguettes arrived at our table then a beautiful red enamel fondue pot with bubbling hot cheese fondue. It had such a rich flavor and was soooo smooth! We left nothing! I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

Came here on a Saturday night and all the tables were filled by customers with reservations (so make reservations!). Luckily, the bar was completely open so we opted to sit there. There are two things this restaurant specializes in : Fondue and Entrecote. Fondue: This was the best fondue I've ever had in my life. It was delicious from start to end and I couldn't get enough of it. Usually, a fondue has me sick of the flavor by the 5th bite, but this simply wasn't the case. Creamy, gooey, flavorful...the dutch got this baby right. Entrecote: The concept for this dish is that you cook the meat yourself, which is just part of the fun. The quality of the meat was good and who doesn't love a pesto sauce flavored by butter, garlic, and herbs?? As our last meal in Amsterdam, my wife and I wished it would've been our first so that we could've returned and had more. They also serve a few beers AND wine on tap, which was pretty awesome. They serve the wine in 1/4, 1/2, and full caraffe's and check this, by volume, it's cheaper than beer. 5 stars all the way.

Amazing little pub right out of Nieuwmarkt station. It is a small place, so don't try to go with groups. Our party had six and we had to sit in two separate smaller tables. With that said, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The WheatBeer was delicious. We had the cheese fondue, which was good, but not memorable, but the star of the night was the steak cooked on her butter. The meat was tender and the herb butter stays over the fondue fire. Once it melts you cooking the steak to your taste (which should be medium rare :) That was one of my favorite meals in Amsterdam. The chocolate mousse for desert was killer too. Very recommended.

Parking-walked Ambience-small but comfortable Head? Older guy tough but had a job to do. They set up sterno burns at the table to cook fondue and steak, if you order things that require it Food-top notch, steak great !! Service-good Prices-reasonable Drinks-good Cleanliness-clean Would go back!!! Would

Surprised with all the good reviews. I debated between two and three stars. The steak cooked in the herb sauce was decent. But the fondue special which was just bread to dip in the cheese was extremely overpriced. Probably some of the worst fondue I've had. I ended up dipping the bread in the leftover steak sauce. If I went back, I would only order the steak, but that probably wasn't spectacular enough to return for.

Loved our experience here. The first time we walked in with no reservation and was told sorry come back with one. So we made one thankfully for the next day and boy are we glad that we did. We were literally sitting with locals and cooking our steak and bread just the way we like. Loved every bite. The green sauce with the steak is just to die for. We even dipped our bread in it because it was just that good. Wine was a great buy so we had plenty of that to accompany our meal and although sometimes the language was tough to get by we managed just fine. I'll come back to you someday.

This was a great Yelp find! We came here on our last night in Amsterdam and it was the best meal of our trip. We knew it was going to be good given how busy it was, and not with tourists but with locals. The staff were friendly and made their recommendation which was obviously fondue with steak on the side which you cook at the table in a delicious thick sauce. It was apparently obvious that we were amateurs as a couple of off duty staff came over and pointed out that we were cremating our steak/sauce and needed to turn down the heat! They were very friendly about it though and didn't make us feel too embarrassed! I would definitely come here again and would highly recommend to anyone, especially visitors looking for somewhere local and off the beaten path.

I was really looking forward to eating here based on the reviews I had read. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was cozy and casual - which was great. The wait staff were very very friendly and we had no trouble getting in and right away they explained how the menu works. My daughter and I had the fondue for two and my husband had a steak. I found the fondue to be salty (which is odd). My husband did enjoy his steak au poivre. Once we were served our meals, the attentive waiters disappeared. We kept needing to flag them down for more water or bread or the check. Would I recommend or go back to this place? Probably not.

Very good experience. Menu is limited. But the fondue (with the bread is very tasty). The entrecôte is very good as well, and you cook it in its own sauce on the pan and burner. Be careful not to let the bread basket get to close to the burner, we did that and almost caught on fire. Chocolate Mousse was very thick and dark and great food.

We made a reservation and when we arrived they said it'd be a 30 minute wait because tables were taking longer than expected so we gave them our phone number and wandered around for 10 minutes before they called us to come back. To be fair, we had a large group. Reasonable prices for fondue, although I thought it was too beer-like for my taste but everyone else liked it. Vegetarian pasta was just alright, but it was nice that every entree comes with a side salad (but if you order 3 fondue of the same type, you only get 1). The pesto sauce the meat was cooked in was amazing! Service is slow and it is hard to get the staff's attention, but that is just a European thing I've encountered while traveling and us Americans aren't used to this slow pace. Overall, good vibes and fondue is always a fun, slow, and FILLING meal. The waitress was very nice and patient with translating the menu.

Cafe Bern was a suggested restaurant for us from Yelp so we decided to give it a try our first night in Amsterdam and it did not disappoint! We ordered red wine, steak in pesto, and the fondue. So authentic and so tasty! As many other reviews mention, the menu is limited but I don't think that should deter you from stopping in. Both dishes we ordered were nothing short of amazing. The service was great and he was very comfortable recommending dishes and explaining the menu.

Amazing Cheese fondue with freshly baked bread! Also the steak is great quality, (entrecôte) which you cook yourself in an awesome herb garlic sauce! Also , I highly recommend the salad with the garlic dressing! Reservations are recommended. ( it is better to make reservations even if the restaurant does not seem busy.

I can't believe there was delicious dinner near a metro station. We shared cheese fondue and steak with whiskey pepper sauce

This place is incredible. Get the fondue and the steak - you won't be disappointed. The sauce on the steak is so good that the lady next to me picked up a big piece of lettuce from her salad and mopped up the sauce with it. It was weird but that tells you how amazing it is. Get a reservation or otherwise you can sit at the bar. There is a decent amount of turnover at the bar so if there is no space, leave for 45 minutes and come back.

Definitely one of the best places to eat in Amsterdam! We tried the cheese and steak fondue and it was delicious! We had to book to go here as it was very busy and seemed to be full of locals I definitely recommend trying here because the food is delicious! You would easily walk past this restaurant as the sign is not very vibrant but don't miss it because the food is great the menu is translated by the staff if you don't understand and they make great suggestions! The cheese fondue with the steak in the special herb sauce was absolutely delicious and a must try for anyone in Amsterdam!

Cafe Bern is "our spot." Our last visit was a honeymoon trip, so of course we had to go there on our last night in Amsterdam, which has become our tradition. While it was unseasonably warm in Amsterdam that night (80 degrees Fahrenheit!) I couldn't imagine not having their delicious fondue. We just couldn't tackle the cook-at-your-table entrecote as well, but we'll be getting that next time we are there. We have tried to recreate Cafe Bern's fondue at home, with very good results. But ours is never garlicky or boozy enough. Cafe Bern's fondue is just incredible, with hints of fresh herbs thrown in to give it a delicate undertone in the taste. It is served with crisp yet tender baguettes. My husband gets the green salad, and I get the tomato salad, both of which are dressed in a delicious vinaigrette. I use a tomato slice to top off a piece of bread dipped in the cheese to create a "fondue bruschetta" (see above pic). The service is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, with a well stocked bar. This time, we eschewed dessert in favor of a glass of oude genever, which was strong but delicious. I cannot recommend this place enough. There's something for everyone there, and the fondue and salads are as vegetarian-friendly as it gets in Amsterdam.

This does not look like a fondue restaurant from the outside. I mean, not that a fondue restaurant really looks like anything. But when you're sitting in Nieuwmarkt, you don't necessarily expect that one of the many businesses staring back at you is a fondue place. My boyfriend and I were hungry, so we walked in and were told that there were no tables for two more hours. Well, it smelled awesome in there, so we made reservations for the following evening and returned then. I had the fondue, house wine, and the garlic salad. Everything was completely delicious. The small, handwritten menu is in Dutch, but all the waiters speak English and will translate for you if necessary. Plus, a lot of Dutch words are appreciably similar to their English counterparts, just with more vowels. I did think the waiter said (maybe he did) that the fondue comes with salad, so we both ordered salad.... and then were charged for salad. So, someone in this scenario was misinterpreting what "comes with x" means. Not a huge deal; the salad was good... I'm just not that big an eater and wouldn't have paid 10 euro for it. I want a fondue pot more than ever!

Cafe Bern is located conveniently by the Nieuwmarkt metro station and is a standard "brown cafe" which means they have a bar with small selection of food and the inside is generally brown; these are usually great places for socializing and meeting up with friends. They didn't have a large dinner menu but it was tasty and a great place to get a drink. Their drink menu is standard for most bars. We came here to try the cheese fondue for the first time. Food: 3/5 The cheese fondue, entrecôte and garlic salad were highly recommended by other Yelpers so we tried those. The cheese fondue had a salty, winey taste to it; it was a very good cheese but a bit too salty for my taste. It came with bread, which you dipped in the cheese but I really wish they also included some other things, like maybe carrots or something crunchy. The entrecôte was very tasty! They have this herb butter sauce that you cook the beef in, and it is super buttery and delicious. This was a big winner! The garlic salad (knoflook sla) was tasty but I wished the salad came in a bowl which would have made mixing the dressing a bit easier. Instead I ended up with mouthfuls of garlic and sometimes no garlic. It is very garlicky and may not be for everyone. Overall, the food was good and satisfying. I'm not sure if I'd ever have cheese fondue again but the entrecôte was super tasty. Service: 4/5 Definitely make a reservation as it gets packed! The staff is very polite and attentive, even though the menu is in Dutch, they are patient in explaining what they have. You might have trouble getting their attention again after you initially order, but you can just go to the bar and let them know and they will get back to you. Atmosphere: 5/5 This place is very "gezellig"! There is a lot of chatting and people are really enjoying themselves. I overheard people at the bar making new friends! The space is small and everyone does sort of squeeze in there but it makes for a very warm and cosy atmosphere. This is a great place to go to with friends or by yourself! Value: 5/5 The total for 2 "mains", 1 salad, 2 coffee and 2 drinks was 50 euros which isn't bad at all, making it a 25 euro/person dinner; reasonable price given the location.

Cafe Bern is one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam. I read a glowing review in a local newspaper about 5 years ago and after trying it once, I was hooked for life! The Entrecote and Fondue are not to be missed. Ideally, if you are there with another person, order one of each and share. If you like garlic, the "Swiss style" green salad with garlic dressing is just amazing (Zwitserse Knoflook Sla).. It's a really good idea to make a reservation, as during peak times it's difficult to get a table in this smallish pub/restaurant. Cash only and you'll find the restaurant is generally full of locals. Service can be spotty at times, so just go with the flow as the food experience makes up for being ignored :)

FON-DO it. Don't even bother going to any other place for fondue. Ambience: Bar outside, small tables inside, enough space for you, your people and your fondue pot. - servers are nice, there is a very nice lady that runs the front and even though we didn't have reservations (as a lovely wandering tourist, I would never have known to make one! I don't even have a phone) she let us sit at the bar outside and then got us seated in 30 mins. Awesome! Things we ordered (that we ordered again in the same meal, cause we're Americans and gross): - tomato salad: fresh, sweet, tomato tasting tomatoes, sliced like a flower sprinkled with what we could only guess was olive oil, salt, and red wine vinegar. I could swim in it. It cuts the cheesiness of the fondue with an acidic balance that makes you want to squish up your face in glee. - garlic salad: geeeeeeeeeeez. The tastiest dressing! It's basically lettuce and dressing. But, the garlic flavor in one bite with cheese in the other. My cup of tea, but I am also a huge lover of garlic. Hubs was not as in love with it, but he did devour the tomato salad. And then I ordered another one. - cheese fondue: perfect. Thick, rich, beautiful. - we didn't order the meat, since we don't eat beef. The guys across from us did and the three of them left with big smiles. Restrooms in the back, they were kind to us with a child. Well- summary, cheese, bread, a stringy ooey goodness of cheese strung around a mini grilled cheese I made on my fork of tomato, bread and cheese...I left full and sleepy. The walk home was just wonderful.

The server was remiss and greeting us upon entry. Then when we sat at a window seat, we could not open the curtains. So we chose to open them anyway. Her response was it does not look good from the outside. Completely ignoring the five completely unbossed tables outside in the full ashtrays on the tables. Not only were the service staff rude, it smelled like an ashtray avoid this place at all costs. Super unfriendly

While touring the city, I didn't want to get stuck at a place that served mediocre food with tons of tourists. I stumbled upon this restaurant on Yelp and decided it was everything I was looking for. The food was amazing! The entire menu was in Dutch, which is a good sign because it isn't a tourist trap. The waiter translated everything and we ordered a tomato soup and sauerkraut soup to start with a salad. For dinner, we ordered the cheese fondue, which came with bread, and a steak platter. The steak was served raw and we got to cook it ourselves on a heated plate. The food was absolutely incredible and I was so happy that we ate here for Valentine's Day. Very romantic & candlelight, excellent food! Definitely recommend.

We are here on our final night in Amsterdam. Fondue was excellent and the beef with a creamy pesto like sauce was killer. They sear the beef leaving the beef undercooked so you can finish it in the hot sauce. The menu is in Dutch don't let that discourage you, the staff are very helpful. Good place to end the day.

Always amazing best fondue I have ever had. Ben here many times and does not disappoint. Right off the metro train cute and busy street. Small place try and make reservation.

I've been coming to Cafe Bern for twelve years. I never miss coming here when I'm in Amsterdam. The fondue is the best I've ever had anywhere! It's absolutely delicious. The atmosphere of the place is quite cozy, but it fills up fast. Reservations are essential.

Tried to look for cheese fondue on Yelp and Google our way here, only to find out they claim all tables were reserved. As tourists we asked if we can wait for a table, the waitress simply turned and walked away. Had to flag down another waiter and he said they were fully booked and we could not even wait for a table, although there was an empty table right at the front with no "reserved" sign on it. Rude service. Never coming back.

We enjoyed the fondue and bread. The service was good. It was to be able sit outside and enjoy the weather and the people.

This place was so delicious. It was our first time in Amsterdam and our first time having Fondue. There's not much structure with the service however you never feel unattended to or forgotten about because all of the staff members are willing to help. A must try!!!!

A Dutch friend of ours took us to this restaurant when we were in town one weekend in Amsterdam. The cheese was delicious! We also ordered the restaurant's most popular dish which is the seared steak with herb sauce - you get to cook the rest of the steak yourself at the table, which was pretty entertaining. It's only a little disappointing that you only get bread with your cheese but the steak made up for that :) The price seemed a little bit expensive, we paid about $30 each. But fondue places tend to be and the food was pretty good so we didn't complain too much, it was worth it.
