Café De Blauwe Pan — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Our visit to Eetcafé De Blauwe Pan was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the warm hospitality of owner Jorbs and his wonderful family. Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jordaan district, this charming eatery offers a delightful taste of traditional Dutch cuisine. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Jorbs, the owner, took the time to personally introduce himself and share the story of his family’s involvement in the café. It’s clear that this is a family-run establishment, with each member contributing to the cozy and friendly environment. The menu features a variety of hearty Dutch dishes, all prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the traditional Dutch stew, which was rich and flavorful, accompanied by perfectly cooked meatballs and sausage. The homemade apple pie, a family recipe, was the perfect end to our meal. What truly sets Eetcafé De Blauwe Pan apart is the genuine care and attention from Jorbs and his family. They made us feel like part of their extended family, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this café is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Dutch cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. Highly recommended for a memorable meal and a true taste of Amsterdam’s...

We can’t get over how great of an experience we had at this place. The service by the owners was fantastic. This was our first stop in Amsterdam, we just stumbled in and grabbed a seat. We ended up getting the bitterballin and nachos. Both good but the bitterballin was probably the best we had on the trip! My wife had a cosmo which she said might’ve been the best she had ever had. We sat upstairs and they didn’t care about coming up to serve us. Super friendly and helpful. Then when we went to leave and pay they had a couple food tours there and the female owner I can’t remember her name was running all over helping them. She then gave us a tasting dish of what she was serving a potato and vegetable mash mix and some sausage that was to die for. (I ordered sausage because hers was so good at another restaurant later on our trip and was very disappointed) She then poured us a shot of a black licorice liquor all Free of charge. Just because she was being kind and we had to wait a couple minutes to pay. Definitely didn’t expect anything we had a great experience before she did all that. Definitely go support these great people. We will definitely be back if we get back to Amsterdam! Wish we would’ve tried the apple pie, it looked so good but we were stuffed! Highly recommend...

My wife and I and two of our good friends visited this cafe during a walking and food tour of Amsterdam, a group of 8, with our guide. The owner spent a half hour with us making us feel welcomed and answering any questions we had. Later in the afternoon, we went back to the same cafe for drinks, which was just before closing time. We told the owner that we wanted to come back as a result of his amazing hospitality. Just prior to leaving, the owner insisted that we all try a piece of his wife’s homemade apple pie which was delicious, as was the food we had sampled earlier in the day. Truly a great experience in a wonderful city and area of Amsterdam!...
