these are our favourite places for brunch in amsterdam
In the weekend we love to have brunchย in Amsterdam with friends. Sometimes in the weekend when you finally can sleep in, you have no time for breakfast but it’s still a bit early for lunch. The perfect moment to bike to the city and go to one of the many hotspots to chill and just enjoy the weekend. Time for brunch! That’s why we put together the 24 x best hotspots for brunch in Amsterdam!
Tip: we’ve brought a new list to lifeย because a lot of the time we’re one of the first to find out about new spots, but not a lot of information is known:ย ‘Coming Soon‘. In this list you’ll find the new spots that you can go to soon. We will of course keep you updated about their opening dates.

Greenwoods: One of the oldest, and one of the best! Greenwoods is the first breakfast / brunch restaurant in Amsterdam and in business since 1988.

On the all day menu youโll find a delicious English breakfast and brunch classics along with some tasty lunch options. Of course with plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from! Donโt forget the traditional English cream tea with freshly made scones. If you know, you know; it’s a pure joy! Greenwoods has two locations in the city centre of Amsterdam. Both with outside terraces that give that real Amsterdam vibe where you feel like a local.
