Boca’s

Restaurant très sympa! Pas trop de touristes dans ce coin, ce qui est appréciable !
Attention tout est mis en sandwich ce né sont pas des tartines. Serveurs très sympas qui nous a donné plein de tips sur où sortir !
Nourriture originale et bonne ! Je recommande !

Great atmosphere! Not the place to just get a heineken, but youll find that everywhere. Great to sit and talk.

My only disappointment with Boca’s is that I won’t get to try the various other options they had on the menu, but the one I did have was Brilliant!
Bright, white and airy. That’s the way I would describe it. Situated in one of the coolest neighbours of the Dam it is definitely a modern café/​restaurant with an excellent but eclectic music play list, friendly staff and lots of tables to sit outside at if the sun it paying the city a visit when you are there. The menu is cool and unusual and seems to be different at different times of day. When we were there at lunch/​brunch we had the Boca’s (little bread rolls) themselves. You pick from a list of fillings and then they come out on a platter to share. We had a dynamite tuna & cheese salad, a delightful gouda and pickle one, a very unusual scallop and salami roll and also a nice triple cheese one. (There is 5 in the picture, but being honest I have forgotten one of them)
The rolls look small, but were very tasty and actually quite filling. They also seem to do other dishes later in the day, there was some amazing sounding platters and I also love the idea of fries three ways!
A great place to visit and offering something a bit different from the normal café/​restaurant style of pick from one menu. If I am ever back in Amsterdam, I will 100% be back to Boca’s

If you can obtain a seat, its well worth paying Boca’s a visit. We had an easy dinner here yesterday, eating a broad range of dishes from the menu. As I visited the place once before (and did not really enjoy the platters), we stuck to the tapas this time around. And they were great. Especially liked to lobster role and the shrimp croquettes. The wine was also quite nice, but for a modern tapas-​place, you would expect a bit more daring selection. All in all a good place to visit if you’re in the neighbourhood, but the concept would benefit from a small upgrade.

Went there because of the Unilocal reviews — but wasn’t too convinced after all. The concept is the same as 100 montaditos in Spain. If you’ve been there. Basically they just serve little bread rolls and you get to fill out a form choosing the toppings like goat cheese, hamburger, chorizo, tuna, salmon etc. It’s not bad but also not amazing. However, according to the reviews it must be one of the best places to get some food in that area — which I find hard to believe. At least the place is quite spacious compared to most of the restaurants i’ve been to in Amsterdam.

Super friendly staff (Jules is amazing). Really good food. The little sandwiches are so delicious and you can pick from a large variety. I had chocolate cake for dessert that was unbelievably good. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Very good for lunch, work, dinner, drinks, anything! Wonderful place!

Great Jordaan tapas joint. Affordable, cozy, and tasty.
Service was good, atmosphere relaxing. Overall a nice experience.
Would be fun to come with a group.

Cute little gem! Wednesday morning visit and we ordered a Bloody Mary. Perhaps a little judgement considering it was a weekday, but it was my last day in the city before I had to head back to the states. Server had great attitude and the place had the best AM playlist that set the mood for the perfect last day. American breakfast was plated so adorably.
I hear they have DELICIOUS fries, but only available after 4… And a foie gras burger?

Good food, nice friendly staff, cozy atmosphere… this would be my third time going here in the last 2 years. Always a pleasure.

Really good place! Great atmosphere the bar tender gave us free dutch beer since we were the only tourist there! The food is amAzing!

Walked in for a Sunday brunch after a quick walk around the neighborhood. It’s in a wonderful location flanked by numerous other cafes and restaurants. They also have a nice well-​heated outdoors seating area.
Inside wasn’t busy at all, but the best part is that you can get whatever kind of table you’d like — high, low, round, square. The service is essentially one hostess trying her best to keep everyone pleased with their food and drinks.
I ordered the breakfast platter that came with fresh orange juice, a croissant, and ‘boca eggs’, all on a wooden plate. Everything was good and not so pricey, except that the eggs come with a generous serving of meat. Since I am a vegetarian, I had to send the near back, leaving meat-​juice to soak my eggs in. Not so much of an issue for me, but some vegetarians might find that problematic.
The breads are baked fresh and taste wonderful. We also tried the hummus sandwich and grilled vegetables.
They also have free wifi, although I didn’t have any luck connecting to it.

They might look gigantic but they are actually perfect size! Great place to go with friends, order a bunch of sandwiches and share them all. The bread is surprisingly light and airy so it isn’t too heavy or overly filling. These little delights were absolutely delicious! Will be back! Cute place, excellent service.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Bar Boca. I ran into an ex-​pat at a concert and she recommended I swing by here for drinks and food during my stay in Amsterdam. After her great taste in music, I figured she had to have great taste in food, and boy was I right. During the day, they only do sandwiches, so don’t get your heart set on a meat plate and come at the wrong time. I have to admit, I was a little bummed out when this initially happened, but the lunch menu is on point. I went with a friend and we chowed down.
Here’s the breakdown of what was ordered…
Drinks: 2 beers & a glass of rose
Sandwiches (all on brown bread):
–Mozzarella
–Geitenkaas (goat cheese + bacon + dates)
–Bitterbal (classic dutch snack — a MUST try)
–Steak tartaar (my personal favorite)
–Hamburger (recommended by our waitress, definitely one of the most hearty of the buns)
–Tonijn (like a mini tuna melt!)
–Hummus (my least favorite — a little bland compared to the other excellent combinations, but felt like we needed something with veggies to break up the meat orders)
…for 35 euro. This was absolutely my favorite lunch in Amsterdam, possibly the entire three weeks I was there. The interior of the restaurant is small and hip. I wish we could have sat outside, as it was a beautiful day, but the 3 – 4 tables were already taken. Our waitress was really friendly, spoke great English, and recommended a couple of awesome sandwiches. There’s legal bike parking nearby, which was helpful. I definitely will be back on my next trip!

Excelente lugar para tomar algo y comer al estilo tapa. El combinado de tierra, mar y agua es genial. Y el trío de fries también. Muy buena atención, buena onda y precios lógicos. La cocina cierra a las 10PM.

My friend suggested this place and I understand why! After a nice soup as an appetizer we shared a medium boca platter (fish) and had the fries to go with it. It was delicious and came very quick as we went for a very early dinner, I believe it was around 5pm.
Staff is very friendly and I loved the décor. Good for a date but also a girl’s night out as we did. Two thumbs up!

Went here while on holiday in Amsterdam. I was looking forward to the food because the place got excellent reviews but unfortunately I left disappointed. The food was bland, the portions were extremely small, and the prices were high. The only item my friend and I ordered that we enjoyed was the 3 types of fries. I also ordered the lasagna, which was sub par.

Heard about Boca’s from someone at a concert and decided to check it out. Perfect place to stop after a long morning of biking around Amsterdam. The waitress was extremely friendly and spoke great English. My friend and I ordered 7 of their little sandwiches which was just enough. All were very good. My favorites were the steak tartar and the hamburger. Everything was very reasonably priced for Amsterdam.

I tried their fish plates. Very fresh and good taste. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. The people next to me had meat plate. Looks nice too.

I’m always on the hunt for places with good share platters/​antipasto plates and the like, and I have to say Boca’s exceeded all expectations. Our group of 3 ordered a «medium» sized mixed platter, which was the perfect size, and everything on it was delicious. Literally. Everything. There was not one thing I didn’t want to eat. And amazing price to quality ratio. Especially for the Jordaan!
The service was nice as well, quite attentive and friendly. The place itself was only ok, not a super cozy place to sit as we ended up being wedged into a corner sitting on high chairs (ugh), but it wasn’t noisy and had a good amount of light, so it wasn’t too bad in the end.
Overall, a fantastic place in the area, great for after-​work drinks and bites with friends if you’re not into bitterballen (though of course they have those too).

Best cheese plate I’ve ever had!!! Ever! So good! Good wine and beer, great cheese platter (we had the medium for 5 of us=plenty!) great little spot in the Jordaan area. Highly recommend!

Mmmmm… this location is just as good as the one in Jordaan! Came here for dinner on a Sunday, and it wasn’t too crowded so that was nice. We got seated right away and had a not-​so-​small «small» meat plate, the burger with foie gras and truffle mayo, bruschetta with steak and brie, tuna tartare, and of course, their fries. HOLY MOLY. Their fries get me every time. So. freakin’. good. mmmm… that sauce…
Our server was also super nice and introduced us to a local beer (can’t remember the name), that was super yummy. I actually like this location more than the other one because it feels more spacious, and has more outdoor seating — perfect for a nice day.

I popped by this place as we were looking for a summer terrace café in the neighborhood. It’s not the best view — no canals or parks; but it’s on a decent street.
Perfect for a casual relaxed beer. And that’s what we had; lots of beer! The selection of beer is decent.
To must admit; the service is great. They checked on us quite regularly and food was served fairly quickly.
We had the beef tartare — good; shrimp cocktail — ok and the meat platter — loved it! The meat platter is perfect for two with pulled chicken, fennel sausage, ham, steak, Peking duck… The food was above average for a just a regular café.
Next time I wana grab a beer and a bite on the terrace this summer — I’m heading over here!

Ambiente aconchegante, contemporâneo, e jovem, decoração, som ambiente, comidinhas, tudo muito bom!

Très bon petit spot caché juste en face du parc. On y mange des bocadillos dans une ambiance relax et une jolie déco. J’ai été marqué par une association st jacques crues /​chips de jambon pata negra… Absolument divin.
Mon regret est que l’on finit par y manger beaucoup de pain pour tout goûter, mais je crois que c’est la norme à Amsterdam.
