Tolhuistuin

Great place for an outdoor drink when the sun is shining! Very large garden area with seats and parasols. Order from your table and the service is very efficient. Great views across the water and plenty of people watching. You can access it very easily from the ferry which runs continuously and is free! Had a very enjoyable evening here.

Had food here when I visited Amsterdam a few years ago. It was a nice place with good food.

This riverside restaurant offers a relaxing and scenic dining experience with a beautiful direct view of the water. The outdoor seating, with its comfortable benches and tables, creates a laid-back atmosphere perfect for unwinding. Ordering is done through a QR code, making it easy and convenient, and payments can be made by card. The menu features a variety of drinks and finger foods, including a good selection of beers. The food is tasty and pairs well with the chill ambiance. Overall, it’s a great spot for a casual meal or drinks by the river.

The food and ambiance here is very nice! Had a great night and tried some interesting things. But the staff were talking very nasty about people. We sat next to the place where the servers were standing, and they were all the time talking about how weird people were or deciding with rock paper scissors who would have to go to the table with the “weird” people. So it was a very bad experience on that part.

The “nachos” dish on the menu unfortunately didn’t match what you’d expect. It was just a few plain tortilla chips served without cheese, sauce, or any toppings. That’s a bit disappointing, as this shouldn’t really be sold under the name “nachos.” The rest of the experience and service were okay, but it might be better to list this dish as “tortilla chips” instead, so expectations are clear. The location is nice.

Very disappointed in the loaded nachos. Too wet. Guacamole was creamy and abundant but no flavor. A glob of melted cheese was unappetizing. The salsa was sweet. Ugh. Consider a recipe that has more appeal. They were really the worst nachos I’ve ever had. Even hot sauce on the side (which wasn’t offered) would not have rescued these slimy nachos.

Atmosphere is definitely unique : spacious restaurant area in intimate lighting, plants wall ; outdoor seating relax and more of a sunny sunday feeling ; bar is cosy and classy, with area for live music. There is an elevator to access the restaurant (otherwise main door is reachable by outside stairs)

Restaurant is located at a very good spot: opposite Amsterdam Central Station, facing IJ/ships movement, very nice and spacious terrace but inside it's cosy and comfortable too. Nice, fast and helpful staff. Good food, lots of vegan and vegetarian options that cost less than the animal options. We had a great time at a fair price and will definitely be back!

This is one of my favourite spots in Amsterdam. Literally three minutes from Central Station is an amazing garden with a stage, various forms of sitting apparatuses, drinks, and a wonderful sense of seclusion and hiding from what's across the IJ. If you join the Facebook group, you'll get updates on what events are going on. Most recently I stumbled upon a movie screening and a storytelling event in English.

Ok so I like that there aren't huge lines everywhere. I like the price of the beers. I like the view to the 'south' of Amsterdam. But guys.. did you forget to build a proper entrance?? It was so hard to find. Will go again with my knowledge (you enter wherever you want :D )

The huge bean bags outside on the lawn. The sun until late. The location just off the ferry and away from the tourists. Enough said?

Visited this venue for a dance music event. Pretty cool venue. I didn't try the food there, but definitely will when I return there.
