Our 10 favorite Brunch Spots in Amsterdam
Greenwoods
This is the perfect spot to go to if you’re craving a full English breakfast. It’s Greenwood’s signature dish and they also have vegetarian and gluten-free versions of it! And don’t worry, there are plenty of other choices to choose from on the menu. We absolutely loved their delicious breakfast quesadillas – they are to die for. Greenwoods has two locations, and it is very popular, that means that there’s often a queue on weekends. It’s definitely worth the wait, though!

Gartine
If you have a brunch date this would be the place to go. It’s a small and intimate hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam and the food is absolutely amazing. Gartine only uses organic ingredients, and they even grow their own fruits, vegetables and herbs! If you love your brunch classics you won’t be disappointed with their Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and spinach. The eggs even come from their very own chicken! If you have a sweet tooth, you can indulge in the delicious banana chocolate bread. We recommend making a reservation.
