tHUIS aan de AMSTEL

This restaurant is such a hidden gem located very close to Spaklerweg station. From outside, it looks like a manor, inside it feels like home. Inner design is cosy and vintage at the same time. You can meet with a small group of friends or your date and sit for hours here. Their menu is enriched with some ever-changing daily options. Servings are elegant and food is tasty. Fish was delicious, combined with some roasted baby potatoes. Wurst was also well paired with an interesting sauce. Overall, you have good food and good time here. Only thing to mention would be the staff is not that much attentive.

Such a cozy place! The staff is so friendly and the menu is perfect! The dishes are remarkably unique and the chef has great attention to detail with flavors. The catch of the day special, which happened to be sea bass, was so tasty that I want to visit Amsterdam again just to go to this place again.

Found this restaurant by chance while having a little stroll along river Amstel and fell in love with the cute house right away. Very nice staff members answered my questions about opening hours at Easter and if reservations are necessary. Luckily, I could drop in twice without reservation and enjoyed the best meals during my 10 day-holiday in Amsterdam. Both the white fish (similar to cod) and the Risotto were superb! In fact, it was my first time ever to have risotto "al dente" - neither overcooked nor still hard inside. LOVED it so much! Next time in Amsterdam, I will stay again in Amstelkwartier to be as close as possible to this culinary gem ❤️🩷❤️.

This restaurant is very nicely located in a park next to the Amstel waterfront. Very relaxing to sit on their outside terras and look to the walkers in the park and the rowers on the river. We came here for breakfast, and we were pleased with their offerings and service. They have some nice dishes like yoghurt with fruit and their homemade granola mix, delicious. A great place to start your day.

I just love this place. Menu is short but every item has its very own magic and uniqueness. Great service. Everyone is so friendly all the time. Always with a smile Vibes, are the very best. If you are going solo to work , read, relax this is your place. If you are going with friends or Family for a nice time, this is your place. If you are going with your dog, it's is more than welcome . The place , decoration and ambiance is like visiting grandma's home. A loving place to spend time. Any season is nice to come

One of those cutest places, truly a hidden gem! I like the decoration as well as the spaces you can use for different purposes. Good for team gatherings and even maybe for small workshops. Food is great and waitresses are welcoming. Last time we had celeriac soup and salad which were delicious. Highly recommended!

August 2025, Amongst the modern flats, 't huis aan de Amstel stands still in time. This old beautiful house is a nice cafe-restaurant serving a small menu from morning till diner. Of course sitting in the garden on a beautiful day overlooking the river Amstel. Service is good but you need to seek for their attention. Brood from Menno (always a good choice). For business or pleasure a good place for a get together.

Superb location next to the river, in an original house, well more like a mansion, now surrounded by modern buildings. Lovely outdoor area in the warm months. The food is good, prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly. Since it is in a house, there are lots if small dining rooms, which was great for our group, because the acoustics are great and we could hear each other and talk as a group. A great experience.

Very quaint little cafe in a less busy area of Amsterdam. It's located in a restored two story home on the river. The food was pretty good. I got the egg sandwich with smoked salmon which was flavorful and appetizing. My husband got the vegan burger which he enjoyed as well. The only area for improvement would be the pace of service. It took a few glances and close to 20 min in between getting our drinks and ordering our food and we weren't even there during the lunch time rush. But all in all, I would come back here for a quiet lunch and afternoon coffee.

Literally amazing lovely ambiance too!! The savory cake was really good and their prices were fair

What an amazing place! Seriously! This restaurant/bar is located in this old renovated townhouse. Its got an outdoor seating area and an indoor, but the indoors are HUGE! I mean, every room is being used in a way: it looks really warm and cosy inside, it really feels like being home. It's even more beautiful when it's raining outside. You also have a pretty cool view of this business district in the East, which lights up at night. That's not bad. The staff is amazing! Really nice people and helpful. They went through almost every item in detail and described everything to us and even recommended wines. Their prices are reasonable for what you get, really good wine (between 4 and 6 Euros a glass). I had some food: a roasted pepper stuffed with vegetables (turnip and another vegetable, forgot what now) with lemonrice. GREAT! Rich in flavor, not greasy at all, not at all salty (I don't eat salt, so that's great), the rice was cooked to perfection as well. I really, really, strongly recommend this place. Breakfast here must really be something, do that!

I love this place! It is the next best cafe in Amsterdam. They have a wonderful terrace to soak up the sun or hide behind the shade.

Thuis aan de Amstel is a really special place next to Amsterdam's beautiful Amstel. The place is beautifully located in an old mansion (protected heritage) with extremely nice features, next to the Amstel. When the sun is coming out, the terrace (on the right side when standing in front of it) is the place to be: in de sun and out of the wind, with a view over the Amstel and the beautiful white bridge. On a rainy day, the inside of the cafe is also a place to be; you will be amazed by the decorations and all the features. Besides the location, the food is great and fairly nicely priced. The staff is friendly. Ps: your kids can play in the garden where you can safely watch them and they are separated from the water by a gate.

Phenomenal in every way; a real gem of a place to eat and to spend time. We visited here twice on the recommendation of locals and were so glad we did. Welcoming hospitality; beautiful gardens and indoor spaces for having coffee or a meal and reading or talking or drawing; lovely views; and delicious food, including the best pancakes I have had anywhere and delightfully buttery croissant. Wish I could eat here every day.

It was an exceptionnal experience ! Very nice place and atmosphere , very good service and meal explanation !

Four stars for the view and setting. The menu options were limited and perhaps only the salad stood out. The beef was unpleasantly tough and flavorless.

Great service. Friendly and a really beautiful place. Have. Pumpkin soup with carrots and ginger. Delicious. The veggie pasta main course was nicely seasoned and well portioned. I'll be back!

This is a great spot on the Amstel River. You can reach it by bike from central Amsterdam. We thought the food, beer and service were great. It is an old mansion w views of the river. The place was packed for dinner early on a Thursday night. Great outdoor seating if the weather is nice.

Anpleasent and tasteful place to spend a nice evening on the amstel. Out from the busy and the noisy streets you'll find a nice restaurant with good food, drinks and service.

Nice place to stop by for a bite/drink along the Amstel. Good service, decent menu. Cozy indoor seating.

Beautiful establishment, good food, family friendly, decent but not exceptional service
