About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
The first breakfast brunch venue in Amsterdam finally makes it to Scotland!

ALL DAY Breakfast / Brunch and Lunch menu. Vegan - Vegetarian and Gluten Free dishes and options. Fully licenced and located in the centre of town just off George Street and 5 minutes from Princes Street and the Station.

Dutch inspired and owned.

Homemade drinks and all food prepared fresh daily.

We pride ourselves on sourcing top quality local ingredients and make our products fresh on the premises as much as we can. And of course, we also brought our Dutch roots with us as well. You’ll find it on the menu and in the restaurant itself. Fancy some traditional Dutch ‘appeltaart’ (apple pie)?

    Delicious new items on the menu. Flatbread filled with tofu and shredded veg with sauce and fries. Yum! Service, as always, friendly and super efficient.

    What a fantastic breakfast find! Glad we made a reservation the night before, as it’s a small space. The menu includes an array of traditional dishes with interesting twists, which made it very hard to choose! I had the mushroom and ricotta poached eggs on bruschetta - FABULOUS flavor combination. My son had the karaagi chicken Benedict - another winner. Don’t hesitate to- go!

    Food was fantastic but personally didn't like how many people are squashed into such a small place and very little room to move. But overall I would still recommend to anyone to try.

    An absolutely first class brunch experience. My wife is dairy and gluten free and she said it was the best brunch she's had out. What a pleasant change to be able to go out and be able to have something off the menu that is exactly what she wa Ted and liked. The rest of us also had a superb brunch. Really nice. Staff were brilliant, attentive and friendly. It was busy and had a great atmosphere. This now our gold standard for gluten and dairy free brunch. Whenever we are Edinburgh we will be back. Thanks so much

    It was………meh. My other half got the peach Melba pancakes which were good! However, the veggie breakfast was a bit lacklustre. Soda break was crazy dry, and just came crumbled in bits on the plate. Mushrooms were really soggy and just not good. Paneer with the jam was a good idea, but the jam was very star anise flavour and not much else. With the veggie breakfast already like £16, I don’t think there should be an additional charge for sourdough if you want it. Coffee was overpriced and the nuts around the trim of the cup was just annoying and made the coffee gritty. Lastly, the place was really crammed, kinda dark and busy, like waiters bumping into your back as they walk past busy (and I’m a small guy so I don’t take up much room). Just overall I was kinda disappointed, especially given the hype. There are so many places that do much better breakfasts, and they are cheaper too.

    Our table wasn’t quite ready when we arrived but staff were welcoming and friendly. I noted that the booking was for a birthday and they wished my friend happy birthday and put a birthday sign in her breakfast which was really sweet. Food was nice, although the I wasn’t asked how I like my Bloody Mary, and it wasn’t spicy or cold enough when it arrived. The main downside is that the table was required back after an hour, which was made tricky given how delayed our food ended up being, and that we were late in being seated to start. I might not dine again soon due to feeling so rushed but service and food were really good.
