Food is great, amazing eggs perfectly poached, staff is friendly, but it all must be amazing to justify the wait… An hour outside in the cold. And several tables inside were already finished and the waiters did not ask them to leave, even though there were 4 groups waiting outside. The food is really good, but be prepared for a very long wait…

All time favorite brunch spot in Amsterdam. The atmosphere is cozy and fun. The wait staff is always so happy to greet you and serve you your meal. Best latte and French toast in the city

There is definitely a problem in this place. I mean, a serious problem. Look at the other review, they go 5 or 1, no way around, and every bad review involve the very same reason me and my lady had such a bad experience: HORRIBLESERVICE. But OK, let’s try to start from the beginning: we specifically went here for brunch after all nice reviews, and wanted to have a nice dish of eggs and a drink. Upon our arrival the place was crowded but not super crazy, and we took a sit in the large table at the entrance where other three people were already seated. 15 minutes later and after we called them two times we managed to tell the waitress our order. We really wanted to try it, but we should had much better vision and understood how the service was going to be like. We ordered before the three guys we were sharing the table with and before the other two tables around us. And we started to wait. And wait. And wait more. And they started bringing food to the tables around us. They even served a couple who entered in the restaurant AFTER we ordered the food. And we were trying to get the attention of the waitress, but they definitely did not want to contact us in any way and when stopped they said the order was«arriving soon». After more than half an hour, the waitress finally went to us telling us there have been a mistake and our order was lost, and we had to order again. You don’t say?!? Mph. Well ok, we reorder again and this time the dishes arrived in 10 minutes. Still after a couple of other dishes. Woah. And when we finally received the order… Zan Zan! One of the two was wrong! My lady ordered benedict eggs with bacon and we received benedict eggs with ham. NOTDAMNPOSSIBLE. We already spent too much time inside the place, we just ate paid and went away as soon as possible, but that was a huge disappointment for us. I can’t say anything about the dish itself, as the whole experience was bad enough to ruin our taste. So be worried. They may have nice dishes, but they have a HUGE issue with organization. Seriously, HUGE.

Eggs Benedict with avocado and salmon was well done and tasty. The plate/table interaction was a bit awkward. Slatted tables with a plate that isn’t broad enough at its base just doesn’t work all that well for cutting up your eggs Benedict. Loved the presentation of the latte in the cocktail glass. That was noticed. I would have loved to hear the tunes bumping a bit more consistently. Cool ambiance. Friendly staff.

The food and drinks are good. The service is so appalling that it ruins your whole experience. We waited 20 minutes for our order to be taken, 35 minutes to receive the food, and then another 20 minutes to correct a mistake in the order. Very smooth guys.

Yeah, sorry but the only time this place is worth it is when someone else is popping up and doing the food! Service was ok the last time we went but the eggs Benny was gross. Cold, eggs undercooked and about ½ a teaspoon of sauce. Pass!

After reading so many positive reviews about this place from my fellow Unilocalers I was very determined to visit it. And since two of my friends were visiting from out of town craving Eggs Benedict this was the place that immediately came to mind. So around 1:30pm we reached the restaurant, it’s one of the charming little places, really liked their décor, its tiny but the place makes a statement. The waitress greeted us and we explained to her that we are expecting two more people and theres three of us so we’d need a place for five. She told us to take our seats outside and once the table clears up she would call us inside. Since the occupants were about to leave… Meanwhile she took our drink orders, and assured us the seats will clear up anytime now, while we were waiting two gentlemen walked inside and took the table that recently became available. Seeing this I went inside and questioned her why we were overlooked? She was like ‘oh so sorry’ they had a reservation so i gave them the table that became available. I obviously felt irritated and I knew she never mentioned reservations when we came in, so she clearly messed up. But I let it go and asked her when the next table would become available. She assured me that a table of five was clearing up and then we were going to get that one. So i went outside and assured my friends that it would only take 5 more minutes. Right as I said that we saw some more people walk in. And you will not believe it, they took our table… The waitress didn’t once say that it was booked for us and she stopped making eye contact and avoiding us, and thats when i felt i had had it. So I went inside and I told her to give my the bill for the drinks she did NOT once have the courtesy to apologize or acknowledge she made a mistake. She handed me the pin machine and walked away… I’m still in disbelief… It was one of the most horrendous experiences of my time here in Amsterdam, honestly the service isn’t great here but people are mostly honest and forthcoming. It was incredibly disappointing. I never ate anything there and their pink lemonade was very good but I will surely never go there again. How could you make people sit outside for over an hour and just completely overlook them. I am truly upset I still can’t believe this happened. But honestly I’m a true foodie I love restaurants and I know how much hard work goes into setting up a business, I don’t randomly enjoy bashing restaurants but if some place –no matter how good they are, disrespect customers this way they are definitely off my list of places I’ll ever visit again.

This place is a trip. Menus on vinyl. Hip hop loving«g’s.» Friendly, a bit hectic. Feels a little like it could be in the Village in NYC. They also have a breakfast on a boat. Huge portions. Good food. Crowded. Have a bloody, buddy.

We came here on a Sunday morning and were lucky enough to get a seat without a reservation, although you do get punished for that by being sat at the bar or on barstools by the window(not super comfy). I feel like I either ordered the wrong thing, or the food here looks better than it tastes, because I wasn’t too impressed with my «Healthy Benedict». That could be my fault though because I’m currently on a diet that prohibits any and all bread — so my eggs on cottage cheese, avo, and spinach were admittedly a bit sad to begin with. The eggs were poached to perfection but I found the hollandaise and the spinach lacking. My friend ordered the Challah French Toast though which looked completely heavenly and he was very satisfied. Lots of bonus points for the excellent(Friendly! English!!) service, good coffee and good atmosphere. I will be coming back to try the bloody marys!

Gs is such a cool cat, from the Roy Lichtenstein-esque tablecloths to the menus printed on old records to the awesome music. Cool people, bomb vibe! And obviously can’t forget to mention the food which is fresh and tasty. Can’t wait to try their brunch on the boat!

The many eggs benedict options and probably the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had make this place my favourite Amsterdam brunch spot. The menus are axe on old records, the staff are charming and the food is completely spot-on

Gs is one of my favourite little spots to hang out– they do brunch, lunch and dinner on some nights and let me tell you, it’s full of hip and swagger but for good reason! The G in Gs, stands for George– who you’ll recognise as the charming gentleman who generally greets as you walk in. If he’s not at the restaurant, he’s on the Gs boat and if you can’t find him there, he’s likely at Ludwig! Anyway, when I first arrived in pretty Amsterdam, I was told about this great brunch spot, but given my limited(good) food experience in Amsterdam, I assumed the restaurant was a unicorn. In other words, non-existent, made up and fabricated with many of us randomly chasing the dream. But imagine my surprise, when I finally made it in on a frosty grey morning– orders were taken, drinks were served and stomachs were filled. We were smart enough to make a booking before hand so the wait was only momentary– it’s worth doing on the weekend because getting in here can be tough. They do however only book half the tables, so you can luck out and get in! So things that are a must to order? They’re famous for a few things, firstly the bloody marys! There’s currently 6 different kinds(YES! 6!) and if you add an oyster(for an extra € 3), you upgrade Mary to Mitzy, Mary’s sluttier sister! Not into tomatoes? Well. good thing they have a bunch of other drinks on their menu! Hello bourbon peanut butter milkshake! Then there’s the eggs benedict– it also comes in a variety of ways that’ll surely satisfy anybody(except if you’re vegan because uhm. eggs). There’s also a menu special worth calling out– The Hungry Drunk. This king sized meal comes with eggs any which way, some baked beans and your choice of sides and. wait for it… 4BLOODYMARYS! So you better be hungry and thirsty! Now, if brunch isn’t your thing, well poo to you. But come back most Thursday evenings for a bit of jerk(in)’ things like chicken, ribs, fries and old school hip hop! Yep, Gs, in a nutshell– good people, good food and good fun!

I have been for brunch twice and I absolutely love this place. I knew it was going to be busy so booked a table the first time. Yesterday I hadn’t planned ahead as much so came without reservation but they sat me within 5 minutes. I eat dairy and gluten free and was pleased with the new addition to the menu ‘foul’. It was delicious, the service friendly and personable and everything reasonably priced. I’m sure I’ll be back soon!

Heaven on earth. My best brunch experience so far in Amsterdam. Bloody Marys and even Bloody Caesars are on the menu, and they are perfect. They have a great selection for brunch, from eggs, sausage, and thick smokey bacon, with some interesting choices like halloumi cheese. Delicious! The staff is also extremely upbeat and friendly and really helped make the whole experience. This is a must for brunch. Don’t forget your reservation a couple days in advance, it’s tiny and extremely popular.

What a great vibe and what a tasteful French Toast! The cocktails at 11AM makes me a bit tipsy, but was worth it. The French Toast is the best I’ve had so far. G’s is a small and cosy restaurant, nice interior. I love it how they set the table with dishes, looks like it comes straight from the cabinet of my grandma. Are you looking for a great brunch with cocktails? G’s is the best spot in Amsterdam!

Small and nice place for brunch on the week end. + Nice service with tasty and comfort food. Try the eggs benedicts in combination with a bloody mary! Cool atmosphere a bit retro, all you need to chill on a sunday morning - It gets crowded fast… don’t forget to make a reservation!

I enjoyed a nice brunch here with some Unilocalers. Plus– *Quinoa Salad was good. *Customer service is excellent and fast. *Good energy and vibe. *Ambiance cool. *Con– *Location is not so easy to find. *Space is tight, so it is best to go early for a seat. *Mimosa horrible, so select another drink. *Ok music, but too loud. *Menu is limited, for Celiac Folks. However, overall it’s a good place to try out, if your looking for a good brunch and you don’t have any food allergies. So Enjoy!

One of the best spots in Amsterdam for brunch — cooked by my very talented friend Mia in a very small kitchen. And lord, the magic she manages to prepare in there! You probably think I’m biased and I am sure I am. But I am also right about this place. Everything on the menu is good — no great. Eggs Benedict, BLTCA sandwich, scones, milkshakes(which they will serve again once they replace the broken blender), coffee, ginger tea, challah French toast. And of course: their Bloody Mary. Do not go here if you are in a hurry: you will probably have to wait a bit for a table and service is laid back. Which kind of fits. G’s is a little gem that is definitely worth your visit. It has me coming back time after time!

Je suis allée bruncher chez G´s grace a Laetitia L. et je peux dire que j’ai ADORÉ! Tout d’abord j’adore l’architecture des maisons à Amsterdam, ses ruelles, on se croirait dans un village! Donc j’ai été ravie de traverser le quartier du Jordaan qui est particulièrement choupinou. G´s est vraiment dans cet esprit made in Amsterdam, on s’y sent à l’aise comme à la maison, il y a une certaine atmosphère que j’aime énormément dans cette ville. Quant au lieu, il a beaucoup de charme, ce n’est pas très grand donc il vaut mieux réserver. Le service est accueillant et souriant, un sans faute. Quant au brunch on a pris un burger qui me donnait envie et les eggs benedict. Les deux plats étaient délicieux! Le burger est à tomber c’était une tuerie, je me suis régalée et les œufs étaient aussi très bons. Ce jour ci il n’y avait pas de milkshake donc je reviendrai lors de mon prochain voyage dans cette ville et surtout pour me faire un brunch avec un cocktail!
