Lova - All Day Brunch & Breakfast — Restaurant in Amsterdam

As a Brazilian living in Amsterdam I had to try this place out! It’s also 5 minutes from my home. We already peaked the menu before hand and were very curious about the Brazilian influences on the dishes. We ordered Milho, Sanduba club and mandioca. Presentation of the plates were on a extremely high level, close to perfection. You can really see that the chefs are professionals. All three the dishes met our expectations. The Sanduba club was delicious with a nice touch of mashed sweet potato. The Mandioca was also very good, it would have been even better if the mandioca had been be a little softer. But the one that really stood up to all was the milho. Soft cake made out of corn with poached egg, we also added smoked salmon, definitely recommend it!!!! As a dessert we took a nice chocolate chip cookie with pistachios, also very delicious! All with all a very nice experience and definitely worth a visit who wants to try something else than typical (and a bit boring) Dutch tradicional sandwiches. Congratulations...

Overall, the vibe was nice, and the food was decent. It's a great spot to hang out and eat with friends. Unfortunately, I had some issues with a particular lady's rude attitude that had ruined the experience.

Firstly, there was a slight misunderstanding regarding the availability of ice. I needed some time to consult with my friend about our order. When it came time to pay, I requested a change from coffee to juice. During the whole process, she didn't exactly roll her eyes, but you could practically see her attitude in her face throughout the entire process. This made the situation and myself more uncomfortable than necessary. Additionally, in the end, she somehow managed to take both orders.

I was understanding of the ice situation and the order mix-up, as I believe mistakes can happen. However, the negative attitude really impacted the...
