café twee prinsen — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I was really excited to try this restaurant on my last day in Amsterdam after missing it earlier due to New Year’s closures. Their website said they opened at 3 PM, so we arrived right on time, along with a few others who were already waiting.

At 3:10, a staff member opened the door, but instead of greeting us, she rudely said they weren’t open yet, shut the door, and aggressively closed the curtains. We waited longer, but no one updated us. After some time had passed, we managed to get her attention again. She began speaking to us through the door, but we couldn’t hear her. When we asked her to open the door, she reluctantly did so and told us that they would open in another 30 minutes. When I politely asked why this wasn’t communicated earlier, she dismissively said, “Well, I thought you were all waiting for an Uber.”

It was clear we were there for the restaurant, and a simple, polite update would have gone a long way. Instead, the rude attitude left us shocked, and we decided to leave along with the other party who had been waiting.

Based on that alone, I wouldn’t return or recommend this place and I really wish that person more peace in 2025 :) there seems to be a couple reviews about the attitudes there. You can do it, we believe in you ♥️

P.S To the ladies that waiting with us, you guys...

This place has a great vibe, really nice staff and pretty quick service for a Saturday. Will definitely come back. They have a nice selection of drinks and have a really good N/A cider. There was only one issue. The olives are very salty and bitter. My bf and I tried to exchange it for something else on the menu but our server said that because we ate from it, it is not possible. It’s unfortunate that a different approach was not taken. We had two olives each to taste but we really didn’t like it, so we had to at least try and ask for an alternative option. In the end we had to pay for it although we didn’t eat it after. I didn’t want to make a fuss over some olives so I said ok then, if it’s not possible, it’s fine. In case you don’t like how something comes out, you’ll most likely have to pay if you took a bite or two. Other than that would recommend coming here. It’s a really...

Twee Prinsen is a delightful and cozy wine bar that’s perfect for unwinding and connecting with friends or enjoying a more intimate one-on-one evening.

Their wine selection is fantastic, offering everything from sparkling and orange wines to the classic reds and whites. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just looking for something new to try, there’s something here for everyone.

The atmosphere is dimly lit and moody, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The staff are wonderfully down-to-earth and friendly, adding to the relaxed vibe of the place.

An charming perk, is that you can borrow a deck of cards from them, if you ask nicely. This gives you another fun way to pass the time while sipping on your wine.

Highly recommend checking this place out for a memorable and...
