tHUIS aan de AMSTEL

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 ❤️🩷❤️.

We went for dinner with my toddler and they were very accommodating. My son got to run around in the garden while we waited for food. The view of the river and the old house itself are lovely and unique. The fish with couscous was a highlight. We liked it so much we returned for lunch on a rainy afternoon and sat inside — also very cozy. Had the scrambled eggs, couscous salad, and sausage sandwich. The wait staff were extremely attentive, making sure we got out of there within an hour since they knew we were in a rush. We would come back again and again! Highly recommend.

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.

I’ve had some drinks with friends. - The atmosphere inside is amazing, the architecture and decorations are very aesthetic and elegant. I’d say it’s perfect for a date, but also simply for some chit chat with friends and such. - The staff was kind - Prices are on average - The location is great especially in summer, because it sits just right on the Amstel and in front of park Somerlust and during summer days you can sit in the terrace in front which is also very pretty. Definitely recommend this place if you want some drinks on the Amstel area around the Amstel station and surroundings.

It was a surprise find! We didn’t make any reservations bc it was last minute decision to eat outside. Luckily we got a table inside, but with an open window. It was quite busy but waiting was reasonably for our foods. I highly recommend the sous vide sukade! I am really impressed! I’ll probably come back with other friends just for it xD

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!

Popped into tHuis aan de Amstel for brunch and it’s a real gem! The smoked salmon frittata was fresh and flavorful, and the homemade apple tart was a perfect sweet finish. The coffee’s on point too. Loved the chill vibe in this old riverside house—feels like a cozy escape from the city, with a cute terrace overlooking the Amstel. Staff were friendly, though service can be slow when it’s busy. Prices are reasonable (~€12-15 for a dish), but book ahead for weekends. 5 stars!

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.

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
