Café Schinkelhaven — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Had a light dinner of cabbage soup and a hamburger.

Soup was fresh and lovely. A proper thick consistency as would be expected. Served with thick slice of fresh toasted bread.

The hamburger was one of the best I have had in all my travels. The tomato, greens and pickles were fresh as can be. The meat patty was cooked to perfection. If I have to be hypercritical, the glazed bun bordered on being too crispy and was difficult to cut and bite into.

The staff is friendly and attentive and pricing is reasonable.

The fact that the background music was beautiful oldies from the 80's, was a bonus.

All round ,...

Schinkelhaven is a great place to eat and have drinks with your friends. They have a great variety of Craftbeers and their dishes match great with the beers that they are serving. The staff is very passionate about the flavours as well and they can advise you very well. In summer they have a great spot on the terrace where you can watch all the cyclist battle their way through one of the busiest and most dangerous cycling spots...

I had a bad experience from a staff there. I live in Amsterdam for 4 years. and yes, I look like an asian, i went to have a good time with my colleagues and as a longtime party goer, I drink. and of course as a customer who asked politely and in a nice way. I requested something for my order to the tall girl who manages the bar side. and she was like “ what do you want?!” “what?!” and turned around so rude....
