Drovers Dog

I’ve eaten here 3 times and the service has been consistently excellent. There’s always seating and the coffee is great.
This rating is for their eggs benedict — the hollandaise sauce was actually just mayo which was incredibly disappointing. the eggs were perfectly poached and the ham and spinach was great, but the mayo really ruined it.
i think they recently updated the menu and im not at a fan at all :(

Great food, service and atmosphere! Ate the Kangaroo which was great, tasted somewhere between beef and game.

Food is very nice and space is quite big considering it’s Amsterdam. I have spent afternoons studying there and they never complain. They will check on you frequently but staff niceness can be a bit hit and miss.

The atmosphere is lovely and super cozy but the food… meh. I went the first time to try the Fritter Breakfast and of course the raved about Ricotta Pancakes but was told those two dishes were only served on the weekends so I opted for another, The Drovers Breakfast. Overlooked Poached eggs minus the hollandaise sauce served on cold thick bread that was the thickness or a doorstop. The homemade pepper sauce had pieces in it that were hard and chewy and stuck to the roof of your mouth like shards of plastic.
I gave it another shot on a weekend to try these Fritters and These pancakes and the fritters were really the main dish, kind of like eating an entire side dish, I couldn’t continue eating it. The ricotta pancakes were raw and gooey and came with a «honey butter» that tasted mainly like parmesan cheese. needless to say, they were disgusting and not edible.
Atmosphere i give a high rating but the food, although it comes out «Looking good» it is a complete let down.
One place I will not return to.

One of two locations in Amsterdam and I was dire need of good place to both do some work, grab some food and get a decent coffee and stumbled upon Drovers Dog when checking Unilocal.
There is a relaxed feel here and service is friendly and while not super-​fast still not too relaxed. The menu has an extensive range of different dishes and I was glancing at people’s plates and the burger and breakfast looked delicious but I decided on the Eggs Benedict on toast with some ham on the side. The eggs were great as well as the toast and spinach but I was a bit disappointed with the ham which just appeared to be something taken from a store bought package. The coffee was well-​above average in a place not specializing in coffee so also a pleasant surprise.
There was also plenty of space to sit and no objections to sitting with a computer working for a few hours despite only ordering a tea (a very good fresh mint tea) in that time. Free wifi worked fine as well. Nice yo be able to pay with foreign issued credit cards (more places in the Netherlands should take after this) but do note that no cash accepted so either credit or debit card required for payment.
All in all a pleasant place and would definitely come back and perhaps try some of the delicious looking cakes.

The BF and I went here for dinner and it was excellent. The quinoa salad with pumpkin is the best I’ve ever had. We also had the special soup (something green, with coconut milk; boyfriend said it was too much coconut for him but I liked it) and the scallops which he loved and I thought were good but a tad overpriced (10ish euros if I remember for 4 scallops). Wine was excellent, and we love the free tap water. Good attentive service. Thumbs up once again.
