In the weekend we love to have brunch 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!

24 x brunch in amsterdam you want to try

Greenwoods: One of the oldest, and one of the best! Greenwoods is the first breakfast / brunch restaurant in Amsterdam and in business since 1988. Greenwoods is an evergreen when it comes to choosing the best spot for all your breakfast, brunch, lunch and tea desires. On the all day menu you’ll 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! Don’t 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. So enjoy your Full English Breakfast or homemade burger whilst sipping on a homemade drink or coffee in an authentic Canal house setting.
Greenwoods Keizersgracht, Keizersgracht 465 & Greenwoods Singel, Singel 103, Amsterdam

Pluk: Our favourite brunch spot now has two locations in the Nine Streets: both on the Reestraat and Berenstraat. Ever since Pluk opened its doors in the Reestraat we’ve been a fan of this hotspot for take away fresh (detox) juices, a healthy breakfast or a tasty lunch and to buy the best presents and must-haves. A must-visit when you are in the Nine streets!
