But it gets even better when you turn it into a boozy brunch! Hours of eating on Sunday with one (or more) cocktails. We’ve compiled the 14 most incredible boozy brunch spots for you. And if you’re not necessarily into bubbles? Then check out our extensive list of the best brunch spots in Amsterdam.
The best boozy brunch in Amsterdam
Volare
The monthly boozy brunches at Volare are a real tradition, and for good reason. This hotspot on the Admiraal de Ruyterweg in West is definitely a place to remember for aperitivo, Italian dinner, or an after-dinner drink at the in-house cocktail bar Bomboloni’s. Normally, Volare opens at 5:00 PM, but during the monthly bottomless brunch, you can join between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM for a delightful afternoon. Think of a table full of antipasti, primi, pizza, dolci, and bottomless prosecco for you and your friends (or a date!). You can stay and dine until 4:00 PM, and entertainment is also provided. Reserve a table here for the next edition >>

Celia
The relatively new Celia is located in the heart of Amsterdam and offers not only great flexible workspaces but also a top-notch boozy brunch experience in Amsterdam. Slide in during the weekend for the most delicious dishes (tip: if you can’t decide, opt for shared dining) and an endless flow of cava. If you’re in the mood for more, they also have a great cocktail bar (Super Lyan).

Cecconi’s
Every last Sunday of the month, there’s a party at Cecconi’s because that’s when they serve their Sunday Feast Brunch. They offer an enormous buffet (a fancy version) with the most delicious food you could wish for on a Sunday afternoon. And, naturally, you can order unlimited prosecco alongside it.

La Nostra Gigi
La Nostra Gigi in De Pijp boasts a wonderfully flamboyant interior. Stepping inside, you might feel like you’ve entered a different world, which is precisely what we love, especially on weekends. Additionally, you can wash away your worries with their delightful prosecco and equally excellent bellinis during their bottomless bellini brunch. You can indulge in this treat every last Sunday of the month while enjoying live music.

Bar Bellini
Bar Bellini would not live up to its name if it didn’t organize a bellini brunch. And so it does: every weekend, you can indulge in brunch and lunch there, including the famous drink. In addition to bellinis, they serve generously filled focaccias, grilled romaine, vitello tonnato, carpaccio, and melanzane as true Italian classics.

INK Hotel
At the INK Hotel, they consider a brunch without bubbles nothing more than an average breakfast. That’s why on weekends, unlimited prosecco flows, and they offer a special brunch menu featuring items like poached eggs, American pancakes, and more.

Staring at Jacob
For a mix of typical American brunch classics, head to Amsterdam West! Staring At Jacob’s has everything from indulgent brunch dishes to healthy and gluten-free options. They offer various egg dishes where you can choose your sausage or bacon. But my favourite is the French Toast! And let me tell you, it pairs well with a cocktail!

Bakers & Roasters
Brunching with a New Zealand and Brazilian twist at Bakers & Roasters. The two owners missed the dishes from their homelands and decided to set up a mixed brunch spot in De Pijp. The brunch and cocktail menu looks promising indeed. I can’t wait to try the chicken camembert cranberry pie and end Sunday with espresso martinis.

Little Collins
Brunching Aussie-style at Little Collins. This cosy spot in De Pijp and Oud-West features long wooden tables to enjoy a boozy brunch with all your friends. The owner brought the tastiest recipes from Melbourne. How about a bellini with prosecco and fresh rhubarb? Too delicious! Don’t forget to order a Bloody Mary here. The Tokyo and Mexican Bloody Mary are favourites at Yourlbb!
