Cafe De Pels

Nice café, close to the city centre and filled with young locals. Nice and warm, I had classic bitterballen with mustard and ginger tea. All good, recommended 👌

A super nice bar we discovered by chance because of the pouring rain. The waitress was very friendly, and the vibe inside was cozy and authentic, with a charming old feel. We ordered bitterballen, which were delicious—so good that we were even recommended to try more. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

The first time I’ve tried Bitterballen, and definitely not my last. The Bitterballen reminded me of croquettes, but a Dutch version. Very tasty. Met a friendly Dutch local who I had a nice talk with. Will visit here again

Hidden gem in Amsterdam that I would highly recommend. The place is small but we went an early Friday afternoon and had no issues getting a spot at the bar. The service was great and quick. Would absolutely recommend the bitterballen, so good! The veal was my favorite but I also enjoyed the cheese. It’s also very affordable with four beers and two orders of croquettes being under 40€

Brilliant atmosphere, and great food and drinks. Love returning here.

We stopped here for a quick drink and a few bits to eat. It is in a lovely location but not very touristy, and seemed like a place enjoyed by locals. Coffee and hot chocolate were both delicious and reasonably priced. The food we had was also great quality, with authentic local options like bitterballen. Love the branding too!

Small menu but good food. You can try some local Dutch food or just go French Breakfast. Coffee is good. Great selection of drinks (both Alcoholic and non) Staff friendly and atmosphere relaxed. Reasonably priced and loved the branding. Worth the short walk away from the hustle and bustle of Damrak.

Nice bar in the downtown but not touristy, visited mostly by locals. There's a huge selection of food for breakfast, the service is nice, the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!
