Comfortable traditional pub where one can relax and sip a beer enjoying some bitterballen. Did not have more than the snacks, nut a nice respite off of Rembrandtplein.

Rembrandtplein is a cool place. I know some people thing it’s too touristy, and maybe it is. But it’s also interesting for people watching. The thing is, as a local, you want to have a place you can go into and get away from the crowds… even on Rembrandtplein. This is that spot. It’s traditional in a way that it’s not trying to catering to tourists or to have a gimmick. It is was it is and is happy to be that way. The service was quite nice and the atmosphere was good too. We had a special situation where we had an unexpected large group that needed a place to have class(Dutch class), and they were more than happy to let us use two of their tables while only speaking to us in Dutch(per the teacher’s request) as we ordered drinks. We were able to pay separately as we left and could pay cash or pin. Not sure about credit card since I didn’t ask. But really, it’s just an authentic spot that is quite simple but pleasant.

I was on a mission for bitterballen and beer. And more food. Anyway, we ordered bitterballen and beer while waiting for our table, which wasn’t too long, maybe 10 minutes or so. Side note: bitterballen is amaaaazing. It’s the only thing I think about when I talk about Amsterdam, along with FEBO. On to the main dishes: We got the steak tartare, stampot, and fish. Loved the stampot. I mean, hello, it has sausage in it. And mashed potatoes with leeks! Won my heart already.

At Rembrandtplein itself there are not many options(in my opinion) for having a drink. Most of the places there I would even consider because they are way to crowded, the music is to loud or they are just terrible. Fortunately there is also Café Schiller. The small entrance to this Café is perfect because the crowds overlook this place, and that is one of the reasons this place is so great. When you get inside, there are often enough seats left and there are many locals and a maybe few tourist(and not the loud drunk ones). The interior of this place is really great, old and charming. Very twenties! I love it! This place is perfect for drinks and dinner. I think the staff is also very friendly. The prices are absolutely fine. They also have a lot of board games! Fun to play with your friends over a drink. For me this is also a after-cinema spot to have drinks and chat :)

Helaas, mijn eerste slechte review! For our English friends: don’t go here because you will feel unwanted and ripped off! Kwam hier vroeger veel, maar het is erg afgezakt. De ravijn in??? Jammer van zo’n tent met veel historisch besef. De prijs/kwaliteit verhouding is helemaal zoek en wat een verschrikkelijke bediening! Verwende, arrogante houding, een soort negeren en lang wachten … en wachten … en wachten… Houding is wellicht ingegeven door verwende ligging aan toeristisch Rembrandtplein? Wat een lompe… die vrouwelijke bediende hoort helemaal niet in de horeca thuis! Laat haar ajb zo snel mogelijk solliciteren op de vismarkt! Mijn advies dus: ontwijk deze plek en ga hier absoluut niet naartoe! Er zijn zo veel betere alternatieven(ook in de buurt).

Love this café! You have to see this café which is exquisitely decorated and designed with the perfect art nouveau style. The service was polite and timely and the coffee was some of the best ever. The ambience though is one of a kind with music to match. This is a perfect spot to chill out after a museum or busy day. I wish I had a place like this about 5 minutes from my house as I would have a well beaten path to its door. Perfect example of this kind of café.
