Café Luxembourg — Restaurant in Amsterdam

EDIT: Please note that the restaurant responds to every negative review in the same way - they implying that you have confused their restaurant with another. This is absurd, I will not remove the rating that describes the situation that unfortunately happend in Cafe Luxembourg. Please, don't imply that people are silly and don't remember where they've been. Unfortunately, I have to share a very unpleasant situation that happened to me in this restaurant. First time here with my boyfriend and friend, we sat for coffee and cake by the window with a beautiful view. The waitress from Poland, who only heard that we spoke Polish, changed her tone and level of service, but as cultured people, we were not going to play the same as her. Shortly after being on a business trip, my boyfriend and I visited this restaurant again and gave it a second chance. Unfortunately, we came across the same polish waitress who lied that we couldn't sit at the tables that were by the window (none of them were reserved). We were surprised, so we asked what is the reason - she did not find any argument, except "no, because no". It was very surprising for us, which is why I am forced to leave one star for the terrible service. As guests, we should not care about the waitress' prejudices regarding nationality. I understand that people are different, but we will not allow this type of behavior as a people of high personal culture. Such behavior should not take place and is...

Delicious food, fast service, and great Amsterdam dining experience!

We stopped by Cafe Luxembourg for dinner in August 2023 after our first day of exploring Amsterdam. It was a challenge to find a restaurant having space for 4 people around 6-7pm. We were walking by people sitting outside, relaxing, and happily eating and felt very lucky getting seated there as well.

The food didn't disappoint! All the dishes we ordered were truly delicious and had a nice presentation! We really enjoyed our dinner while watching passers-by on a typical Amsterdam street. Thank you Cafe Luxembourg for such a great finishing for our first day in Amsterdam!

We certainly recommend Cafe Luxembourg if you are in the area looking for a local Amsterdam dining experience. (Not local food though.)

Food ordered Beef Carpaccio - excellent, tender, melting in the mouth with perfect accompaniments! Quiche Luxembourg - perfect! Chicken Satay - tasty. Luxemburger - great juicy burger, done exactly as ordered - medium rare! Kids Satay - our 8y older daughter loved it! Dame Blanche "Chocotoff" - don't miss this one! Apple Pie with Ice cream - good as it's...

The food is good but the service is horrible. We've been waiting a lot for the menu, the drinks and the food. One of the waitresses forgot to bring us a menu so we asked another waitress to bring us a menu which also took around 15 minutes. Also the waitress who forgot to bring us the menu, forgot to bring us more drinks as well and after we finished our main course we were asked if we're done but the waitress forgot that we were waiting for our dessert. It was a busy Friday evening, so you could expect the service to take a bit more, but inside the etablissement it was completely empty so they just had to care about outside. If you're here on a more chill day with less customers it could be quite nice, but when a lot is going on the service...
