Café Enté

Amazing addition to the Jordaan which is owned and run by two locals. Short but diverse menu, which is suitable for casual drinks and bites / borrel or elevated dining. The menu blends French methods and dishes with local Dutch ingredients and a small number of essential Dutch tastes, like potato krokets and a borrel plate. Check out our photos; we’re looking forward to returning soon!

I’ve been here 3 times this week. It’s a lovely place with a great cozy vibe to it. It has plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating. The drinks menu is full with options - wine, cocktails, etc. The food menu is small but really high quality. Overall, just a great place to hang out and have a good drink and snacks.

This was a pleasant surprise! Didn’t know anything about it other than it was magnetically attracting me as I was riding by. I was obligated to stop by. The Saturday market was on full display from the outdoor seats (15 or so) small ‘bite’ menu of bistro food. I had the mackerel rilette €9 a glass of rioja blanco €6.50 and Grenache from Rhône €9. The food that I spied looked delicious as well. They had a good selection of wines by the glass and a solid list of bottles. Even though it’s not in my neighborhood, I will find my way back. That’s all for now!

Great experience. Lovely service and a very well thought out wine list. Recommendations are spot on and the coq au vin was one of the best I have ever had.

Horeca has hit a new low in trendy spots with Café Ente. From the service to the food, this restaurant is a glaring disappointment that exemplifies the trend of prioritizing Instagramability over genuine experience. First, there’s the obnoxious and passive staff, who clearly believe they’re too good for a service role. Their attitude sets the tone for an underwhelming visit. Second, the food—while decent in quality—seems to focus more on its photographic appeal than on flavor. With a menu that avoids an overwhelming number of options, one would expect the kitchen to delve deeply into the nuances of flavor and aim for culinary excellence. Unfortunately, this is not the case at Ente. Take the tartare, for instance—it’s essentially a fresh slab of meat, served with little thought or depth of flavor. And then there’s the bread—oh, the bread! In the European and Judeo-Christian tradition, bread holds a sacred place on the table. Yet, at Café Ente, they dare to serve less than a quarter of a mediocre baguette for a whopping 5 euros. It’s both a disappointment and a shame.

Amazing, helpful staff, great choice of drinks and wines, my absolutely fav drink is the Italian Paloma. 100% recommend

Nice place to visit after the Lindengracht market. Decent wines and service with good snack offering. We had bitterballen and fries and both were good. Busy place but always prompt service.

Amazing place. Quality food for very fair prices, cozy vibes and friendly staff🧚🏼‍♀️
