Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a really excellent place to grab something to eat. So good, in fact, we paid two visits to it during our recent four-day stay in Amsterdam. Our first visit was for a late lunch, where had sandwiches (beef and pork belly) and fries....Both were really tasty and the fries portion was spot on. A couple of days later we popped in for breakfast (scrambled eggs on toast, and a Croque Madame) and no complaints again. We would gone for a further breakfast on our last morning if we had left our hotel in time. We thought about going in late one evening but headed home instead. The place looked lively, though. A good selection of beers, wines and cocktails are on offer. All of the staff we met on both of our visits were incredibly friendly and nicely chatty.More

Nice friendly service and the draft Heineken was fantastic! Would recommend anyone that’s in the city to try this place out!

They close at 3.00 we arrived at 2.00 am and the bar was closed. The manager was very rude, not worth to visit if you are a tourist. They do discriminate if you are not Dutch.

The sandwich here was tasty and my colleagues enjoyed their rice bowls, but a bit on the expensive side.

We found this restaurant close to our air BnB. The server was very attentive to an allergy problem and suggested a change in a meal choice. The gado gado salad and chicken satays were amazing.

Just round the corner from a pal's place so we dropped in here a few times. Lovely staff, super friendly. Food was good, although we only did breakfast. Good beer on tap & uber good mochas. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the...vicinity of Javaplein.More

This place is always good for a weekend afternoon. Either lunch or just a drink, both are fine. The staff makes you feel right at home and the music is always pleasant. I had the banana pancakes, but they make a nice pulled duck sandwich...as well.More

Honestly - I dont know why this place doesnt have a better rating. I ALWAYS go here whether its breakfast, lunch, coffee, dinner or drinks. They have incredibly tasty food for evey time of day, their coffee is suberb and they make a mean cocktail...or serve you a cold beer. Located on the vibrant Javastraat in the East of Amsterdam this is my absolute favourite.More

Could be a nice little place. Solid menu. Chances of getting your order correct slim to none... You’d think it wasn’t hard to write down an order. But this place can’t manage it. Sometime during the “hearing customer order” and the electrical signal required reaching...the hand there’s a block. Or it could be the challenge of giving the chef the piece of paper....lots of variables there. Plenty of chance of a balls up. I’d recommend the following steps when eating here to avoid them ducking your order and giving your food to someone else: 1) usual visual and audio cues. I suggest saying and pointing. The more volume you use, the better chance the chef has of hearing you. Thus avoiding the waitress, paper, order loop and probable catastrophe. 2) keep it simple. One item orders such as ‘a coffee’ have a decent chance of arriving and you might even be impressed with the quality (i was). Still, the wait is likely to be eons so I’d recommend popping into order your post dinner coffee at breakfast time. When it does turn up though it’s good. So if you’ve retired and have nothing else to do til next Tuesday it’s worth the wait.More

We visited here on a weekday evening and it was quite busy but we got served in good time. We ordered a dirty duck burger, pad Thai and the kids shared something that comprised of shredded beef and sweet potato fries. The food was good,...the atmosphere was good and the service was good. I’d like to go again for the cocktails which looked nice.More

A tasty burger with lots of flavour and spice. Delicious sweet potato fries with a spicy dip and well dressed salad. Presented nicely to add to a ‘hip’ setting. A good recommendation if you are passing through the ‘oost’ of Amsterdam. Good options of beverages...and coffees.More

As many places now in Oost, Basquiat offers a cool location and it's very well refined when it comes to interiors and design. When it comes down to the menu and its prices, it's another pretty face with little substance. Breakfast is overpriced.

Perfect place to have dinner with friends looking for something different. Duck is nice in any of the dishes, just the roti could have more meat inside. The atmosphere there is nice specially with young people. The service is a bit slow, that is maybe...the only point to improve.More
