    I’m very honest in what a write and I been here a few times. At first I loved this place everyone was super friendly and they seemed quite professional. But as I been here a few times I feel that it’s so unprofessional. They food is amazing though but I wish they could make there hospitality and service mind better. Then this place could bloom because it has so mush potential.

    A big PASS. I stopped by on a sunny afternoon to get a glass of wine. It’s a nice setting for that. Decent wine. I can attest to some of the other comments referring to so-so service. My server was fine, but I did notice on several occasions that some people were not getting waited on as if they didn’t belong. A couple tables went in and ordered because the server didn’t come out. No excuse for making people feel unwanted. They also have reserved placard‘s on all the outdoor tables even though they’re not reserved. They’ll decide if you deserve to sit there or not by eyeing you up and down, kind of a ‘status’ thing. Why, I have no idea. Can’t attest to the food and probably won’t because I’m not planning on returning. That’s all for now.

    The place is cozy and the personnel is really friendly. Food is good, but not something extra ordinary. Presentation of dishes could be better. We had Rib eye which was good, but green verts were overcooked. Risotto of the week had too much onions.

    Excellent coffee, prime location for people watching on a sunny day but, to be honest, the staff should work on their attitude. Hence, most probably won't be back. There are plenty alternatives in Amsterdam with an actual service mentality.

    People-watching brunch place in Joordan. Especially good on a sunny day. Friendly and attentive staff. Menu is expected and decent, nothing fancy or out of the ordinary.

    it was a nice dinner. food was lovely, and the servers had rather good hospitality and the place had good ambience. I particularly enjoyed the salmon, the skin was crispy and the fish was well seasoned. oysters were not expensive which explains the petite size. The vongole was however an amazing serving size and I was full. indeed a PETIT cafe. we were a party of 3 but were assigned to the rather small round table; however, it seemed to be a common problem faced by other guests too. Perhaps it’s good to go as a party of two rather than a big group. alternatively, you may choose to dine outdoors where it seems to be a bit more spacious and a good place to people watch.

    I have never in my life received such bad service. The most unfriendly, arrogant and rude girls. Although, I must mention that the food is good and it is a shame that the waitresses ruin the over all experience.

    Atmosphere is super cute, tons of 2-seater outdoor tables great for ppl watching, BUT the food took over 45 minutes… and food was completely mediocre and overpriced

    Food was okay but the service is incredibly rude and unwelcoming. We left feeling extremely disappointed, there’s much better options in Amsterdam with the same food quality.

    Food was really delicious but the service wasn’t great and the head waiter was really rude. We booked a table at 1pm and at 2pm he came with our cheque and said he needed the table and we needed to get going and was Impatient and grumpy with us. It’s such a shame because the place has so much potential and all the other staff were nice.

    Always cosy and lekker 😊 if there is a sun outside, just sit in the terrace and enjoy the sun with a lovely food. Recommended!!

    Our favorite hang out! You do need to make a reservation nowadays. Great food. Veggies and oysters are always good. Just order a good wine, sit back and relax and have a great evening

  • 3/5 Maite M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food in a premium spot, next to the market, but the service is below standard.

  • 1/5 Sandra V. 2 years ago on Google
    The great think of this place is the location, the rest is really poor service, simple, very simple food quality... I definitely dont recommend it. This is actually the second time I go, the first time, I left cause the staff was really unwelcome (the point on contracting cheap / young staff is that they never commit with their job). This second time we stated but service was in the same line and the food (we were 3 people) was not better. The location is good but that is all...

    It is a great place to go for brunch in an outdoor space. The choices of food were good and the food quality was pretty okay. I went there on Saturday, which is also the market day, it was really fun to sit in the sun and enjoy the food in front of a busy market :)

    I recently went to Libertine Petit Cafe after having not been for quite some time, and I was very happy with my experience! Great food, good vibes and music, and friendly fast service. I was also told they will be adding more cocktails and food to the menu soon. Definitely going back!

    Interior looks fantastic, nice atmosphere. That’s however where the fun ends. Waiter is slow, delivers us the wrong coffees, forgets one drink, leaves out sugar, then after reminding him that we take sugar with our coffee manages to forget it again. Observing him we are struck that after this performance he still doesn’t deem it necessary to take down orders on pen paper with any customer. We proceed to wait for 45+ minutes for our order. During this time, not a single order leaves the kitchen. We throw in the towel and walk away. Shame. Such potential, much wasted.

    Libertine Petit Cafe boasts a prime position on the Noordermarkt, perfect for sunny afternoons watching the world go by. However, the perfectly-pitched terrace is where the fun ends. Step inside on a weeknight and the restaurant is generally empty and soulless, with staff outnumbering customers. Step inside on a busy weekend and prepare to be largely ignored by the staff. I loved this place for a while, but a recent and steep decline in service has been its downfall. There are plenty of other terraces in Amsterdam to while away a sunny afternoon - and plenty more where your custom might actually mean something.

    Super recommend

  • 1/5 Alex W. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is so badly run that the municipality closed it for a week because the owner did not care about any form of corona measures. This should be reason enough to go elsewhere...

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
