Quartier Putain — Restaurant in Amsterdam

(I’m a solo, American, male tourist) I walk in and a young, sleepy looking guy greets me. I say “I’ll have apple pie with whipped cream and a cappuccino” he says “okay sit anywhere and i’ll bring it to you” i say “okay, outside?” He says “yes, anywhere.”

I sit outside for 10 minutes, then stare at another customer’s drink as she walks outside. She notices (i think she’s a local), and is like “hey what did you order?” I explain, she goes inside to I assume tell the guy behind the counter not to ignore me.

Two minutes later a different worker comes out with the pie and graciously says “sorry about that, your cappuccino is on the way.” I get my cappuccino from the same worker and ask what the other guy’s deal is. He says “sorry idk i just got here.”

I finish my pie and drink (which were bomb af) and go inside to close out with the sleepy looking guy. I’m like “did i do something wrong?” He’s like “oh yeah the machine broke sorry it was just unfortunate timing” and hand waves at the machine. The other kind worker hears this and says “the coffee is on us” and I close out.

Cool place, just unfortunate that one of the workers has prejudice against...

If you’re looking for a cozy spot to relax in Amsterdam, Quartier Putain is a gem worth visiting. Their hot chocolate is a delightful treat, rich and perfectly comforting on a chilly day. Pair it with their bitterballen, which are absolutely delicious, and you’ve got a winning combination!

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. Whether you’re popping in for a quick snack or staying a while to soak up the atmosphere, the warmth of their service leaves a lasting impression.

A must-visit for anyone...

We chose this place simply because it wasn't completely crowded, like the bigger pubs nearby. A nice little place of coziness in the middle of one of the most crowded parts of the city. And besides that a very generous slice of home made apple pie as well as a decent cup of coffee as well as freshly made orange juice.

This is a place where you want to lounge, sit in their comfy leather chairs upstairs, and just enjoy a slow morning. The staff doesn't rush very much, but that just fits the vibe you get from this place. So take your time, find your own slow pace...
