Tourist rip-off Expensive boring food - all of which we could have cooked at home equally well or better - at expensive prices. The service was amateurish and very slow - it took forty minutes for the main course to arrive. (no apology when we chivvied either) We felt ripped off and silly for falling for the publicity. In a... More

We picked this restaurant on the basis of other reviews, and it was not a mistake - it really was special. It isn't a large restaurant, so seats are worth booking in advance - however if you have no reason to pick a specific time, if / when your booking is politely rejected by e-mail, ask when they can accommodate...

Don't get me wrong, the staff are warm and friendly but not the most effective. The food is just not that special for what you pay. We didn't order a bottle of wine and still paid the same as what a 2 course meal for 2 including a bottle would cost in most European cities. The food was not bad... More

In short the food was bland and certainly overpriced, complimentary apertisers was the best part! What a waste of money.

We were staying in Amsterdam for a week and wanted to have some traditional Dutch food. And this was one of the restaurants that came up when we Googled. The reviews of Greetje weren't all that good. But we decided to try it, as it was just across the canal from us, no more that a 10 minute amble in... More

Went here due to all the possitive statements on tripadvisor, but do yourself a favour. Don't go there. This resturant is seriously a joke! The plave was dirty and old. The food was terrible, trying to be something that is obviously isn't. The waiters where hopeless. This restaurant is not woth the trip. Trust me.

Everything was great. Location, service, food & quality. It is a little expensive...2 persons 66e: 1 starter, 2 main plates, 2 biers.

We ate here after reading reviews on trip advisor and elsewhere. The atmosphere was fantastic, service quick and food was really lovely. We throughly enjoyed all 3 courses we had and had a fantastic bottle of wine to go with it. Menu was lovely and staff were really friendly. The best place in Amsterdam we tried by far!!

We experienced a lovely evening of tasty Dutch delicacies. All dishes seemed prepared with traditional rural cuisine in mind (enriched with a modern touch). Although slightly pretentious, the food was tasty - and it was obvious that the chef has a keen interest in delivering simple food with clean flavors while paying attention to details such as consistencies and presentation....

My wife and I recently went to Greetje on our first trip to Amsterdam. We loved it. The staff was extremely friendly, the atmosphere was charming and exactly what we were looking for ... and the food was amazing. What else could you ask for!
