    Nice place to take a health and flavour food. You can see the museum plain gardens when you eat. The staff is very kindly.

    It’s your only choice when visiting the Van Gogh Museum, as you can’t leave and come back with a timed-ticket, so luckily the food is great. The relaxing atmosphere is a welcome reprieve from the madness of the very popular museum. The food is served cafeteria style, and all the food is labeled in English and Dutch, so it’s easy to find a tasty lunch or snack. On the very busy day I visited the museum, the restaurant was only ever 3/4 full during lunch time, so feel secure in planning to have lunch here during you’re visit without much issue.

    Not your typical museum fare! Great food and wonderful atmosphere. Chef is personable and friendly; great service. After reluctantly heading over to the café for lunch, our group was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the cozy ambiance. Chef went above and beyond to provide great service. It's clear that the Van Gogh Museum is focused on customer experience, as beauty permeates the entire space: from the breathtaking paintings on the walls to the well-crafted dishes at the restaurant. Well done!

    Really nice for a lunch or a coffee and cake break! 😊 We ate green gazpacho and Niçoise salad, both were executed chef-level.

    I hope this is the right restaurant that i am rating. I mean the one inside the museum near the exit. Vegan food tasted well. But during payment they made a fault, that we randomly noticed. So we wanted the money back. The team was not trained for this situation and neither we got the money. We had to give our personal data and bank account and hopefully it works to get the money back.

    The restaurant is overpriced, even for Dutch standards. However, I cannot deny that it has a lovely view and a nice atmosphere. The cocktails were expensive but they were good.

    Best food in Amsterdam thus far. The vegan burgers were great as was everything else, order the apple pie if you’re struggling to decide you won’t be sorry. Great service - kind and helpful

    Great atmosphere, delicious fruit juices but very expensive.. It is inside the van gogh museum, first floor. You pay only by card

    After seeing the museum my friend and I stopped in for coffee while we waited for our friends. The head chef came out and chatted with us for a while and gave us some complimentary snacks. Great experience.

    I think a lot of the reviews for this place are quite old. It is clear since then that they have taken the criticism and used it to greatly improve! The atmosphere is amazing with bright open windows, relaxing music. It is not too echoey so you can hear who you are talking to. The cafe features a seating area and a square area for walking round and picking up food. The food is displayed very well, with fresh drinks (juices and smoothies all cold), beautiful salads, hot food, wraps, sandwiches. These are all freshly made and you can see the person making the food. There is also a wine fridge to pour a glass of wine and a coffee machine. There is fruit salads and smaller things to eat like fresh yogurt pots and croissants with jams, butter and honey. I chose the salad and was delightfully surprised at how fresh and yummy it was. It had capers, feta, flowers, spinach amongst other things. You could pour a selection of dressings on this. When I went to pay, at this point I didn't realise there were a selection of dressings and the cashier kindly informed me of this option (Which I gladly took!). She was very helpful. There is also fruit infused water which looked very good! At first I can understand why somebody would think this place is expensive, but I urge you to give the food a go. It is so, so good and I wasn't expecting it to be so good, especially at a museum! Definitely worth the price once you tuck in. I went to the espresso bar in the gift shop to get a fresh coffee however as I wanted a soy milk coffee. I was able to bring it back and drink it with the lovely view and my food. Fantastic!!

    It's open, on the zeroth floor of the van gogh museum. Food looks beautiful and the combinations are innovative. However the Tom Yum soup was bitter, the bruschetta was not toasted and the toppings cold. Gazpacho soup was decent. Didn't get deserts, but they also looked great. Smoothies were diluted.

    Tasteless food, very bad coffee, and extremely overpriced(even for Amsterdam standards) Such a shame in such a great museum. The staff is reallly nice though, not their fault at all. Plenty of nice options in the vicinity, try these.

👍👍 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-...
