Experience the grandeur of the past at Grand Café Restaurant 1e Klas. This surprising historic restaurant, dating from 1885 is located on platform 2B Amsterdam Central Station. The Central Station and restaurant 1e Klas is designed by famous architect Pierre Cuypers who also designed the Rijksmuseum. The old waiting rooms in Grand Café Restaurant 1e Klas were fully renovated and kept intact for the public to enjoy. You can still experience the old (waiting) times of the past and eat and drink in the same atmosphere as the Rijksmuseum. Rewarded as best train station restaurant according to the British daily
newspaper the Guardian: 1ste place in the European top 10 Best Station Restaurants.
Grand Café Restaurant 1e Klas and the 1e Klas Heineken Bar are freely accessible, without having to use a OV-chipkaart. This recently restored, monumental entrance can be reached using a staircase to the right of the central hall in the station. We are looking forward to your visit!

The food was excellent, but the noise of other diners in a room which appeared to amplify meant we had great difficulty hearing each other. The waiter had difficulty hearing us

This place is not open. Sign says renovations but no evidence there of. Went out of my way to try this spot and had to scramble for another place in the space of a few minutes. Come on OT!! Don’t send us to closed places.

Nice atmosphere in an historic style dining room. Let down by inefficient, uninterested staff, bordering on being rude. Didn't easily accept our Open Table booking. Why would owners of the business accept this. Should take more pride in what they do and how its delivered. The 2 stars are for the room and location

This location was interesting. There were large tour groups which means it was very loud. The food and service were lackluster.

I had a Salmon salad without the Salmon also I had to paid for the full amount.Regardless my politie comment to the waiter no apologies no professionalism. I am sorry but on Valentines day you don't make an argue for quality of the service.You pay the amount and you also givea s tip, and then you never go again.

The architecture is the best, making a wonderful atmosphere. We had the set menu which we thought was good value especially if you choose a high priced main. We were 3 people & all our dishes were very good & well presented. It's always lovely to see Elvis again.

Great at atmosphere, delicious food. Service was a bit unorganized when it comes to seating and assigning a server. I would recommend highly for a unique dining experience.
