Cafe Sonneveld

Muchos debemos haber llegado a este lugar por la misma razón: lo recomiendan los guías de los tours ante la pregunta de ¿dónde puedo comer algo típico alemán?. Ahí mismo te mandan a comer stampot a este lugar, cerca de la casa de Anna Frank. Nunca sabré si de verdad consideran que este lugar es típico o si los tours tienen algún tipo de arreglo con el restaurante.
Fui un día de semana, alrededor de las 2 de la tarde y el lugar estaba bastante vacío. Nos pedimos el famoso stampot: uno con salchicha y otro con albóndiga. El plato me pareció normal, nada del otro mundo (pero eso debe ser culpa de la cocina holandesa, no del restaurante), pero a su favor se puede decir que era abundante y el precio razonable.

Durch reinen Zufall sind wir dort eingekehrt, da das ursprüngliche Ziel in der Nachbarschaft wider erwarten geschlossen hatte. Von der einfachen Tomatensuppe, über den Salat, bis hin zum Rumpsteak und der Quiche, war alles was wir geordert hatten in Sachen Geschmack und Menge ausgezeichnet. Wir hatten vier Charaktere mit unterschiedlichsten Geschmäckern am Tisch und keiner wurde enttäuscht. Vor allem die Tagesgerichte, wie etwa der riesige Topf Miesmuscheln, waren großartig.
Optisch war das Lokal sehr nett, allerdings auch nichts besonderes, aber dafür typisch einfach gemütlich, wie man es von den meisten Amsterdamer Lokalitäten erwartet. Der übergroße Flachbildfernseher, wie man ihn mittlerweile überall findet, war glücklicherweise aus. Die Musik, meist Evergreens aus allerhand Richtungen, war gut und nicht zu laut, aber auch nicht zu leise. Die Speisekarten standen auch mehrsprachig zur Verfügung und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, weshalb man auch mit dem Trinkgeld großzügig war.

Sitio que descubrí tras realizar un recorrido por la ciudad. En ella nos recomendaron disfrutar del ‘stamppot’, típico de la gastronomía holandesa. Esta consta de un puré de patatas con verduras especiado acompañado de una salsa (que se diferencia dependiendo del establecimiento) y al lado una salchicha o una albóndiga gigante para que se combine todo.
La verdad que esta rico, y su sabor, aunque no se diferencia mucho de otros guisos, es muy variopinto.
El local tiene estética acogedora. La carta no es tampoco muy amplia, ya que tiene cinco o seis platos entre los que se encuentran hamburguesas y pastas con salsas.
Para los cerveceros tiene una gran variedad de cervezas, desde Heineken (como el agua en Amsterdam) hasta algunas artesanas.
El precio tampoco es alto, pero comparado con otros bares y restaurantes es más asequible.

Dies war eine Empfehlung der Stadtführung für «günstiges, lokales Essen».
Nach 2 anderen Fehlversuchen wollten wir der niederländischen Küche noch eine letzte Chance geben.
Die Bar/​das Bistro ist genauso gemütlich wie so viele andere, mit Holz ausgekleidet und mit freundlichem Personal. Die Musik war extrem schlagerlastig, was aber dem Junggesellinnenabschied vor der Tür geschuldet sein könnte.
Für Bratwurst mit Kartoffelstampf und einem Klecks Bratensoße bezahlt man 12 Euro. Für die Bitterballen 5. Ein Bier kostet 4 Euro.
Geschmacklich war alles auf Hausmannskost-​Niveau, aber kein Muss. Da besuche ich lieber die indonesischen Restaurants :)

Llegamos a este sitio recomendados por nuestro guía al que le preguntamos por un sitio con comida típica holandesa y a precio razonable.
Este sitio está dedicado a la figura de Wim Sonneveld que fue un cantante holandés de mediados del siglo XX que puedes encontrar en discos, cuadros y artículos de periódico diseminados por todo el local.
Tienen carta en español, aunque si quieres ver la totalidad de los platos lo mejor es pedir la que está en inglés. Además hicieron el esfuerzo en chapurrear español lo que siempre se agradece.
En cuanto a platos típicos hay algunos como el Stampppts que viene a ser un puré de patata con zanahoria y salsa para carne complementado con una salchicha o con una albóndiga gigante y picantona. También pedimos patatas frías que son estiló belga y están bastante ricas y unas croquetas de carne que vienen con mostaza para mojar que están ricas también.
Además tienen una carta variada bastante apañada para todos los gustos, con hamburguesas, pasta, platos de carne, sopas como la de guisantes que es típica de aquí, etc, y una carta de cervezas variada.
Los postres están muy buenos, especialmente la tarta de manzana, que tiene unos grandes trozos de manzana natural.
El servicio es un poco lento para hacerte caso para tomar las comandas, pero una vez tomadas van rápido y son bastante majetes.

This’s was a great experience! Cora was so helpful an recommended just the best dishes. Atmosphere cosy and typical dutch: even the music.
You get A LOT of food for the price if you go and don’t just order spaghetti or the dishes that are here most pictured on other reviews.
Get the meats!!! Also the sides are really tasty. Go and try something different today (not just the fries). Remember you’re in Europe, so things tend to be more sour (potato salad) and the mayo tastes fantastic. Try the bread plate with dips! Amazing herb butter!!!

Our tour guide had recommended this restaurant for their stamppot. We went there today and ordered it and it was pretty good. The service wasn’t too great, though.

bad food, expensive, bad service
i would not recommend to take a visit!
spaghetti+stamppot+water+small beer 32eur wow!

Nice seating to sit outside.
Basic and typical but well done food. (we had the meatballs with a surprising peanut sauce + fries — not the best as it was suggested).
good to try once.
There is Sandwiches of any kind. price ok for quality.

Stampot was one of the food items I wanted to try while in Amsterdam for 4 days in Sept. We had a very early flight the next day and opted for an early, casual dinner. We weren’t sorry. My husband tried the pea soup (another must in Amsterdam) and we both had the homey, rib-​sticking stampot. I could see out the window to the sidewalk table, and noticed 2 men having a beautiful-​looking steak (maybe hanger steak?) meal, so their food seems to run the gamut from «mom’s cooking» to Panini to bistro-​type dinners. It wasn’t busy or crowded when we were there (early on a Monday) and we thought it was delightful and affordable. Pleasant staff, too.

My experience was not good at all. The waitress was not friendly at all, I felt like an intruder, not a guest Soup that I ordered was very salty, could not eat it. I returned it but they refused to give me credit for it, only wanted to exchange for a different soup. In the meantime I looked at the kitchen and it did not seem like a place where I would feel comfortable having my food prepared in.
Based on that experience, I don not recommend it.

Totally charming canal side café. The food is really good. We had a carpese from the oven (warm sandwich). Delicious and fresh. People are friendly and feel the warmth of it. Always a food sign when you see more local than tourist!

We’d arrived via San Francisco in the morning and spent all day touring in the cold December weather. We were exhausted and hungry. We were the proverbial «lost tourists.» We found the Sonneveld. Thank goodness.
Pea soup was great; pasta bolognese was quite tasty; drinks were refreshingly generous with the vodka. Service was casual but helpful. All in all, a tasty, low-​key win for us, a great way to end a long, fun day.

After a tour of Amsterdam, our tour guide lead us to this restaurant to get tickets for another tour. He recommended staying and having some food as well. The place was packed (good sign). The inside of the restaurants smells of amazing Dutch food. We could not resist staying and eating there. I had a stamppot and a pea soup. Both were really good. The service was fast and food was good. It has a divey pub atmosphere. I would definitely come back next time I am in the area!
A+++ would eat again!

Egelantiergracht 72, Jordaan, Amsterdam
Casual to divey atmosphere
Very busy place at lunchtime (up to 3 pm)
It took us twenty plus minutes before being attended to; only two food servers for entire place
Loud, smoking allowed for the outside seating
Half grilled chicken was very good
Nice salads
Cheeseburger was okay

Ok so maybe my review is because it was freezing cold and this place was open and I got a beer and it was warm. BUT as I was at the bar I could see the food coming from the kitchen and it looked good. And it looked better and better. What is that dish? I finally gave up and said we are eating here and then asked ‘what is that dish’ Stampot-​a traditional Dutch dish — mashed potatoes mixed up with what ever vegetable the cook decides to mix it with (here it’s usually potatoes and carrots) and a meat, in this case meatballs (which looks more like a piece of meat, and pork– which is a sausage). OMG!- this is wonderful! Go here– I don’t care that tourist groups come here– there’s a reason– the tour guides want good food– that’s why!
Go here for good dutch food. It’s located within the Jordaan and you’ll find a mix of locals and lost tourists. It’s two blocks from Anne Frank Huis. But don’t think of it as a tourist crappy hell– it’s great food, even on a Sunday.
And the staff are nice as hell– you’d have to be dealing with all these crazy tourists!

I was first introduced to Stampot at La Falote on Roelof Hartstraat 25 and have been looking for Stampot ever since.
This traditional Dutch dish is so simple and at the same time so delicious. Simply put, Stampot is mashed potatoes mixed up with what ever vegetable the cook decides to mix it with.
At Sonneveld it’s mashed potatoes and carrots. An excellent version of the dish and a wonderful variation to be introduced to the dish for the uninitiated.
The choice today was either with meatballs or wurst. I got the wurst. And it was the best.
Sonneveld is a great Dutch brasserie. Diverse selection of brews and eats.
Located within the Jordaan it’s a pleasant mix of locals and lost tourists.
Only a two blocks from Anne Frank Huis its a great place for lunch and a beer.
Word to the wise. Stampot is normally only available on the lunch menu.

Meatball Stamppot — ⁷⁄₁₀

The place was packed. The tour buses just drop off groups of people throughout the day. The place was quite small, so expect some wait occasionally.
Their special of the day was meatball with special carrot mixed mash potato. They served super fast because everything was already cooked. The dish tasted amazing. I’m so glad I stumbled on this place. Highly recommended!!!
