Best Casual Restaurants in Apollobuurt

We loved our time here. The cocktail menu is new and exciting and the staff extremely knowledgeable. Trust their recommendations, our favourite drinks were those recommended. The flavours are complex and surprising and extremely tasty. The food was excellent and the ambience perfect. It was civilised, comfortable and the music at just the right volume for a good conversation. We’ll be back next time we’re in Amsterdam.

In a city known for its narrow buildings, I’m not sure how many restaurants could take a party of 10 with just 30 minute’s notice, but Papa Carlo was more than accommodating. Service was friendly and frankly outstanding. And my tired trade show team was made very comfortable, happy and full.

Terribly slow service for two people, one being a 4 year old and we didn’t feel prioritized at all. We sat down at 6, ordered bread and one main course. They waited a half hour and until the bread was completely gone to come over and ask “can we start your main” … like what have you been doing this whole time?! took 45 minutes to get our steak form the time we ordered… wild! Staff was kind but oblivious

The place was empty when we arrived but we went for it and were not disappointed. The service took a moment to warm up but the food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommended
