The Crown Prince

Restaurant

😠 Extremely rude waitress. Zero flexibility with large groups. Would not go near the place. Instead go next door to Prins Heerlijk where you will be welcomed with friendly staff and great food. People often mention good, restaurant, staff, Amsterdam, steak, station, people, nice, waitress, soup,

    The place is clean you don't have to wait a lot for the food. The staff moves quickly. The food is good, you can eat inside or outside. It's cosy inside. The restaurant is easy to find and situated very close to Central Station from where you can get metro, busses and trams.

    We were there for lunch on a damp and chilly day and the pea soup was a godsend. The place is warm and welcoming. The staff was very pleasant and offered suggestions and explanations as to how dishes were prepared. Everything we had was really good and we were so comfortable we stayed longer than intended. The lunch while not cheap offered good value for the money. Recommended

    Got there just about 1230 and were served quickly. It was quiet but soon filled up as we were early for lunch. Olde world decor, snug and cosy for couples. Had a steak and chips for 15 euros. Nice and juicy. Great chips and peppercorn sauce. Delicious. Specials were great value but you could spend a lot more if you picked from the main menu. Something for everyone! Great service too.

    Good pub food with large portions. The staff was busy but still able to be a little friendly. Tour groups were also seated to early dinners.

    (Translated by Google) Super tasty food for an Amsterdam not too expensive price. And very cozy 🥂. The staff is very welcoming and gets a big 10. I would definitely recommend "De Kroonprins". (Original) Super lekker eten voor een Amsterdamse niet te dure prijs. En erg gezellig 🥂. Het personeel is erg gastvrij en krijgt een dikke 10. Ik zou "De Kroonprins" zeker aanbevelen.

    (Translated by Google) We were in the restaurant as a large group. The seats were reserved and we quickly got our drinks. The food came reasonably fast. Unfortunately there was a lot of confusion which steaks were rare, medium or well done. The service seemed annoyed with our concerns .. Biggest problem and 2-star deduction have been the toilets. In the basement on a small staircase, too few for the local size, and ... very dirty. A short conversation with an employee gave a shrug and "I only work up here" ... After 2 hours the toilet was still very dirty. Only on repeated request came the shift leader, who did not apologize, but said he would take care of it immediately and disappeared without further words. A restaurant should offer guests clean toilets. And suggestions from guests should have been received. Since this was not the case and the food / service were not the hit, unfortunately only 2 stars. (Original) Wir waren als große Gruppe in dem Restaurant. Die Plätze waren reserviert und wir haben schnell unsere Getränke bekommen. Das Essen kam einigermaßen schnell. Leider gab es hier mehrere Verwirrungen welche Steaks rare, medium oder well done waren. Der Service wirkte genervt mit unserem Anliegen.. Größtes Problem und 2-Sterne Abzug sind die Toiletten gewesen. Im Keller über eine kleine Treppe, zu wenige für die Lokalgröße,... Und stark verdreckt. Ein kurzes Gespräch mit einem Angestellten gab ein Achselzucken und "ich arbeite nur hier oben"... Nach 2 Stunden war die Toilette immer noch stark verschmutzt. Erst auf mehrfacher Aufforderung kam der Schichtleiter, der sich nicht entschuldigte, aber sagte er würde sich sofort darum kümmern und verschwand ohne weitere Worte. Ein Restaurant sollte den Gästen saubere Toiletten bieten. Und auf Anregungen von Gästen sollte eingegangen worden. Da dies nicht der Fall war und das Essen/Bedienung auch nicht der Hit waren, leider nur 2 Sterne.

    We found this restaurant by chance on Saturday evening and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here . We were made to feel comfortable and welcome from the start. We thoroughly enjoyed the bread basket to start with as well as the dishes that followed . My daughter and I really enjoyed the tagliatelle with creamy mushroom sauce which had vegetables added and my spouse enjoyed smoked salmon parcel . The desserts were good too and I had what was possibly the best double espresso I have had in a long time . We had a most enjoyable time here .

    (Translated by Google) We had pre-ordered the table for 10 people based on the online menu from Germany. The existing map was very different. The service rude and the food a disaster. Not recommendable. (Original) Wir hatten aufgrund der Online-Speisekarte von Deutschland aus den Tisch für 10 Personen vorbestellt. Die vorhandene Karte war ganz anders. Die Bedienung unfreundlich und das Essen eine Katastrophe. Nicht zu empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) Good place for dinner, near the Amsterdam centraal, Sint Nicola askerk: D It is a good place to take a rest near St. Nicholas Church and Amsterdam Central Station. The surrounding scenery is nice and the atmosphere is good (^_^) It's not just about here, but I'm worried that there are quite a lot of smokers, but it can't be helped in the Netherlands ... (Original) Good place for dinner,near the Amsterdam centraal,Sint Nicolaaskerk:D 聖ニコラス教会、アムステルダム中央駅から近くひと休みするには良い場所です。周辺の景色が良く雰囲気が良いです(^_^)ここだけの話ではないですが結構喫煙者が多いのは気になりますがオランダでは仕方ないですね…

    Location is good, near the central station of Amsterdam. The food is average but the staff on duty today are very helpful. The decoration inside is a bit old. Need to refurbish.

  • 5/5 Steven K. 4 years ago on Google • 236 reviews
    Got really tired of all the Pizza, Hamburger, Chinese, Italian, Argentinian, etc. restaurants in Amsterdam. Its the Netherlands, a Germanic country so why can't you find good local food? Look no further...great locally owned and operated traditional Dutch food served with a nice staff in cozy old European style restaurant. If you want to eat fast food rather than enjoy a slow quiet traditionally prepared proper meal this is not your best choice. They don't have a microwave in the kitchen so you won't get a microwaved meal here. Returned in January 2020 and once again exceptionally pleased. All three meals, one 1/2 chicken and two Dutch Steaks were excellent. Rarely return to a restaurant I've already experienced ( just so many options) but certainly glad I did.

    We have 10 people, but we were put into a super small place with only 2 tables suitable for only 8 people. The waiter split the soup without any apology, and the soup tasted like canned food. The chicken schnitzel tasted weird with the smell of fish steak. In conclusion, I didn't have a good dining experience here.

  • 5/5 Hannah U. 6 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Service was nice, staff was friendly, ordered the steak, came out fast, could have left it to rest longer, but didn't effect the taste of the meal, good quality beef, great sauce. Inside decor is rustic and doesn't disappoint! Would highly recommend!

    It was... Fine. The soup and steak were a bit under spiced. The quality of the food was very average and the preparation mediocre. My medium steak was rather rare and not that high quality. It's a bit of a shame that this place represents Dutch food in the center. Fortunately there's Loetje.

    Food was ok. Except for the tomato soup! That was yummy. Service was a little lacking as we felt as if we were being ignored. People who ordered after us would get their food first.

  • 3/5 Mohammed E. 6 years ago on Google
    The location of this restaurant is brilliant, just few steps from Amsterdam Central train station. We sat outside and enjoyed the views. Some of the dishes in their menus weren't available, I ordered half chicken and my wife got fried camembert cheese. The food was good but nothing special, the prices were average.

  • 3/5 Beth M. 5 years ago on Google
    Last week my family was visiting and we ate on the bar side of the restaurant. My father paid the bill for the amount owed, and our waiter gave him a huge lecture about how he didn’t leave a tip, and that whoever told him tipping isn’t common here was wrong. It was embarassing and he made a big scene about it, and went on for awhile. We will never eat here again. The food was ok.

  • 5/5 Bill The Thrill B. 5 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Sid T. 6 years ago on Google
    The food was alright and reasonably priced. Wish I could say the same about the service. I went to this place because its so close to the central station and I had limited time before I had to catch a train. The waitress seemed very flustered and I had to ask repeatedly for the check. When I ordered the food, I had asked her to fill up my bottle with water for my journey and she said of course, but she forgot. When I paid for my food and asked the guy behind the counter to fill my bottle, he was EXTREMELY rude to me. All the staff seemed like they were overwhelmed, how can you run a restaurant in such a high traffic location and be completely unprepared/understaffed and in turn make a paying customer feel horrible for a simple request?

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price.
