Little Collins De Pijp

Really good place, love the atmosphere. The service was incredible. The Bloody Mary was amazing. Also the food. Nice place to brunch with family and friends. 10/10 will come back for sure.

I would say one of the best spots for brunch in Amsterdam. We had Turkish Labneh eggs and French toast. Both were great and well seasoned. The service was good and staff were friendly! Highly recommend this place.

Our second time here, this time trying the salmon after having beef before – both were excellent! It’s a lovely spot for a couple sharing and exploring new dishes together. A bit on the pricey side, but perfect if you split one main and a dessert, like the Basque cheesecake we had for breakfast – such a treat. From the outside the place looks simple, yet the dishes have real charm and a unique twist. Definitely keen to return and discover more. 🍰🐟🥩

I honestly can’t put into words what I tasted here, it completely blew me away. We ordered the dish with labneh and another with braised beef. Both were distinctive and incredibly delicious, with flavors so rich they truly move you as you eat. Perfectly seasoned, full of depth. The chef deserves a promotion. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but worth every single cent.

Should you find yourself seeking a change from avocado toast and poached eggs, this establishment is certainly worth considering! Little Collins presents a delightful array of unique and flavorful brunch selections. The cuisine is exceptionally fresh and so delicious. Situated in the Pijp, it enjoys considerable popularity and can become quite busy. The only potential drawback is that some tables are positioned rather closely together, which might occasionally lead to a less-than-ideal experience if seated near loud people.

Had brunch today at Little Collins, and it was a long-time coming visit. You can’t book a table here, and it’s always quite popular, so it’s tough to get a spot. Luckily, we were in the area around 10 and found a table free, so we hopped right in. The vibe was super pleasant. Service was great. Nothing over the top, but friendly, kind, smiling staff and pretty quick too. We didn’t have to wait ages for anything. We ordered two cappuccinos, a fresh juice, and both of us had poached eggs with labneh, roasted tomatoes, and seeds. Absolutely delicious. The flavors were balanced and everything tasted just right. I spotted a few other dishes around: shakshuka, some French toast, and a kind of salmon eggs Benedict with hollandaise. Everything looked tasty, but I’m glad I picked what I did—it seems to be the popular choice for a reason. We spent about 49 euros in total, which felt reasonable. As a dessert lover, I did check out their sweets, and while they didn’t instantly call to me, maybe I was just too full to give them a fair shot. They might be great, but they just didn’t look like must-try items at first glance. Overall, good experience, nice food, friendly service, and worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We went here on a sunny weekday, and since it was busy, we had to wait a bit. There’s a QR code at the door where you can drop your name, see the waiting time, and go for a walk or grab a coffee nearby while you wait. Food-wise, it’s definitely a treat. The flavors are rich, the portion was enough for me but can see people be challenging it. It’s not your everyday brunch. Prices are on the higher side, but honestly quite standard for Amsterdam 🤷🏼‍♀️ The only downside was the service. Drinks and the check took a while, and the overall pace on the logistics side could be improved. Still, the taste really made up for it, and I’d say it’s worth visiting if you’re looking for a brunch spot that feels a bit more indulgent

Both the food and the coffee were both to die for! I’ll definitely go back here when I’m in Amsterdam next

We stumbled across this place on our way to the Heineken Experience. The menu is very small but has an item for everyone. One thing I thought was interesting is that the menu items don't have a name, so you kind of have to point to the line item and say the ingredients it contains to let them know that's what you want to order. Maybe it's just the English menu? I got the pastrami eggs benedict item and my husband got some chickpea pancake and tofu scramble item. Both were really good! I'm not much into vegan items, but I will say I enjoyed my husband tofu scramble immensely! The way the season and cook their tofu would make me go vegan. It was really good. The service was also very good and very friendly. Would recommend this spot for someone looking for a simple, good breakfast.

A cute little brunch spot. All the dishes we got were very unique and flavorful. I couldn't tell you which one I liked more. I did like their ginger mint lemon pepper tea and thought it was very unique and had a slight peppery kick at the end. The staff was super sweet as well.

My boyfriend and I came here together because his aunt said this was her favourite place to grab brunch. We thought the restaurant was so cute and even on a random Tuesday morning, we had to wait ten minutes to be seated. According to his aunt, Little Collins is always super crowded, so if you don't like bumping elbows with a stranger during your brunch, this isn't the place to go. I ordered a chocolate, rosemary, and banana loaf and my boyfriend had a halloumi and polenta dish with red bean paste and avocado. It was his first time trying polenta and he thought the food had an interesting flavour. I definitely agree that I love that their menu was packed of things that I've never tried before. My boyfriend's aunt also mentioned that their menu is constantly changing and that they regularly have new things to try. The loaf I got was really dense and heavy, I ended up only eating half of it and washing it down with the fresh orange juice I got. I loved that they didn't skimp on the chocolate though, some parts of the loaf were more chocolate than bread and the chocolate was so rich and decadent. My boyfriend was initially a little sceptical about the menu choices, because he's vegetarian and didn't recognise a lot of the ingredients, but was able to find something he wanted pretty easily. He ended up loving his meal and after trying a bite I agreed that it was delicious. The combination of flavours is so unexpected but in a good way and I liked that it was something new and different that you can't really get anywhere else. We would definitely recommend coming here on your trip to Amsterdam if you're looking to challenge your tastebuds with something new and different. We really loved our experience here and will definitely come back next time we're in the city.

Wonderful restaurant. Brunch was amazing. Poached eggs with pumpkin and the poached eggs with mushrooms were delicious, but I'm sure you can't make a bad choice here.

Food is amazing. Perfect brunch spot. Very cozy inside. Far from tourists. Love the vibe

I had thought about coming here for a while, because it's reminiscent of the Little Collins in NYC. We queued up around 11:30am on a rainy Saturday - this place is hopping, no reservations taken. We were seated within 20 minutes, and the service was friendly and prompt. The fresh juices were delightful; I had the beetroot, apple, ginger juice and he had the spinach, celery, apple, jalapeño - they were both so good. I was happy that they had a vegan option so that I didn't have to worry about the dairy (as someone who is lactose intolerant), and I did get the poached egg on top. The vegan option that day was a chickpea pancake served with baba ganoush and tahini- I also asked for some hot sauce and they gave me freshly made fermented chili. It really brightened up my meal. We had a side of sucuk (turns out it a type of sausage) and though it was strange that they put the sausage directly in the cream of his French toast, in the end it was still a good pairing. Kinda of like chicken and waffles except sausage and French toast. In general a pleasant brunch catering to the expats who miss brunch. Like most brunch places, it is not going to be a relax-and-hang-out-for-hours situation because there is pressure to give up the table for others who are waiting, but I'd come back.

This spot was recommended to me from a friend who has visited Amsterdam and swears by this place! Was she right? YES. Though the menu is very small for brunch, each plate was so different and so good! I also loved the vibe! Natural lighting from the sun and very hipster but also chill and relaxing! I ordered mole & guasacaca (which is vegan) but I added bacon and eggs and I loved every bite! Kept me filled for the whole day! This place is definitely on my list of recommendations for others! Thank you!

Everything was delicious and so fresh. Would highly recommend the corn bread dish and the masala egg scramble. Will definitely come back when we're in town!

The kimchi scrambled egg, masala with poached egg, and chickpea pancake dish was delicious !!!

I enjoyed Little Collins and it's small, comfortable location a lot. The service was pretty nice and the flavours were unique with an Australian twist. We ordered the kimchi bloody mary and the mandarin mimosa. The mandarin was very fresh and was a good pick-me-up. We also ordered the kimchi pocket and the braised beef. The kimchi pocket was definitely interesting and packed a lot of punch. I wasn't in love with the braised beef cheek, however. It lacked distinctive flavours, though it was still really filling and helped sooth my hangover. My favourite of the meal were the sausages. Salty and delicious! I think overall, there was something missing from the meal - whether service or salt, but it was still really enjoyable. Recommend for groups of friends.

I was taken here for a drink so my review is of little value. A nice cafe / bar / restaurant located in the busy De Pipj District of Amsterdam. It was one of the original Aussie inspired cafes in Amsterdam. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. It's a fairly small space with outside seating for the warmer months. Staff are very nice and they make some nice cocktails and offer brunch and other items throughout the day. Their wine selection is limited and perhaps they need to add some decent wine on the menu. The wine I had was ok but not great. A nice place I would like to come back to and try the brunch.

Made of fresh fruits, high quality ingredients, the French Toast are delicious ! Coffee could be better as almost everywhere around but in the acceptable range. Super friendly, American style service, some likes, I don't

Yum! My husband and I happened upon this spot. While we had to wait 30 min to get a table I felt like it was understandable due to the size of the restaurant and the time of day. I just reminded them that we were waiting at the 30 minute mark and they were able to seat us. I found that a friendly reminder was helpful for the busy staff running around. We enjoyed a seat at the bar, where we got to talking with the bartender. Super fun and warm. The food was great! We were hugely satisfied with our choices. I ate the hollandaise waffle, which was like a potato pancake covered in creamy hollandaise and topped with poached eggs. Delicious! Loved this spot.

Great little Cafe in the heart of de Pijp run by an Australian chef. We went there around 1pm and my was it busy! I left my name and took a stroll around the area until we had a spot outside! And my was it worth the wait! First up I had a smoky chipotle and bacon Bloody Mary! It was just perfect in terms of heat and the flavour profile was perfectly balanced! I ordered the Chistorra and guasacaca - spicy Spanish sausages with gruyere black bean pastry and a coriander salad - again through the roof on flavour and my friend ordered the eggs and waffles with hollandaise sauce which was just as sublime. Definitely worth a visit again and again and again if your in the area!

This is a really cute brunch spot near the Albert Cuypmarkt that we visited early afternoon on a Thursday. They have a lovely patio space (perfect for people watching) with a few two-top tables on one side and a few long picnic tables on the other. They also offer a dinner menu later on and are open daily save for Tuesday. Service was friendly and efficient-no complaints at all there. I started with a glass of sauvignon blanc (4.5 euros) and my husband had a long black coffee (3 euros). They have a variety of boozy brunch drinks on offer as well. Their menu is so unique-kimchi waffle, broken egg curry, and haloumi plum toast to name a few options. I saw several tables enjoying the avocado on toast, so I decided to order that despite never having tried that trendy dish before. The avocado toast had smashed avocado, green tomato & turkish pepper salad, tahini yoghurt dressing on multigrain toast , and came with two pieces. This was 9 euro, with an option oof adding poached egg (11 euro) or bacon (12.5 euro). The presentation was beautiful, and the dish itself was quite filling. I loved the tahini yogurt dressing, which added a bit of flavor to the avocado. I also loved the heartiness of the bread. I wish the dish had a bit more flavor (maybe it's just because I'm not the biggest avocado fan), but, overall I really enjoyed it. My husband ordered the ¡A HUEVO! which was chipotle braised beef , beans, baked eggs, smashed avocado, jalapeño salsa ,crème fraîche, coriander, and tortilla (15 euro). His came out in a mini cast-iron skillet, was piping-hot, and was a very generous portion. The braised beef was delicious and had a great spice! All of the ingredients complemented each other well, and he loved all of the flavors. The presentation of the dish, just like mine, was on point! I do believe, though, my husband chose the tastier dish of the two. I would recommend eating here, especially for brunch, for anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Amsterdam might be known to be lackluster of good food, but that's only because you haven't been to Little Collins. The food is AMAZING. Innovative. Sit by the chef's counter for a mesmerizing show of dishes getting artistically composed. Must visit if you are in town. We enjoyed the hot smoked salmon plate and "the cilbir" -the latter was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Sucuk Sausage and the flaky delicate flatbread with labne ... we might have dreams about this meal. You are welcome. Thank me later.

Solid 3 1/2 *'s plus half for the friendly staff. I went a bit after 9pm and got the last "special", a shrimp avocado crepe. It was delicious and sitting at the bar I was able to watch the chef work. A waiter recommended I try two plates but one was big enough for me and left quite satisfied. I will return for the brunch one day.

After seeing the raving reviews about Little Collins, we couldn't resist the urge to see what the fuss was all about. It wasn't too busy when we walked in, so we were promptly seated and introduced to the restaurant's concept: ordering small-ish dishes to share with your party. We got started with some beers, after which the roasted beets arrived swiftly: they were lovely in their warmth, accompanied by a snappy vinaigrette and generous supply of fresh goat cheese. Second up was the tuna tartar, which came with avocado that the waiters were happy to serve on the side (since we were with a friend who's allergic to those). The tartar, avocado, microgreens and plaintain chips came together in a wonderfully bright combination of flavors that left us eager for more. Luckily, the smoked salmon and wakami pickle weren't far behind; smoked to perfection and served with equally delicious yet crunchy salmon skin, this dish was probably one of our favorites. Finally, we had haloumi with carrots and thyme: a beautiful combination of textures and flavors. Overall, we love Little Collins for their taste combinations. All ingredients come together in an unexpected yet delicious way, which makes every dish a tiny, brightly flavored piece of art. In addition, the waiters were very attentive and timed their service well. If only the beer selection was a tad more exciting, we'd give this restaurant a 5.5.

I came here for dinner on a warm summer night and all of the seating was outdoors. The ambiance was lovely. I had a glass of prosecco, which was lovely, and the spiced beef flatbread with the grilled halloumi and honey glazed carrots. The flatbread was more like a thick quesadilla in terms of its construction, but it was very tasty and the chili sauce gave it a bit of a kick. The halloumi dish was wonderful and I loved the mixture of textures and flavors. Excellent service as well.

Not sure why this place gets such high ratings, though maybe it's the brunch. We came for dinner and it was an off night for them. Ordered the cauliflower dip, which was excellent, and the smoked butter with olive bread, which came with burnt toast. I was there scraping cinder off my toast with a knife. The butter was nice but overly salted. Then the waiter asked if we were ready for our entrees and we said yes. Add then...nothing. Super weird. We ordered another glass of wine and they didn't say anything so we kind of assumed it was coming. There were virtually no other people eating at this hour so I assumed it couldn't be the kitchen getting backed up but it was about 40 minutes from the appetizers to the main course. We were cold sitting outside and just ate quickly and left. The waiter said the kitchen got jammed up but it was pretty odd, especially after they served us burnt toast. The lamb shank was good but not amazing, and the wine list was mediocre. Perfectly decent restaurant but not worth traveling across town for.

Delicious brunch menu. However, I dont know if it was only the day we went (due to an electricity outage the day before) but the place felt very stuffy and humid, Would still give it another try. Just be warned, it gets packed pretty quickly around here!

It is one of the most wanted places in De Pijp. People wait an hour to eat here! Really famous for brunch. I decided to give it a try, but I was not so happy with the result. The food variety is really good. But everything is super fat and oily. I was not able to finish my meal and I geeked heavy the full day. It is English breakfast style. I think you need to be more use to this kind of meals! I cannot say it is bad. Service is regular, they try to help you. No my favorite but looks like most of Amsterdam like it!

Definitely overhyped with weird food selections. My brother ordered something that had poached eggs and waffles and was unmemorable.y mother and I ordered a kimchi scrambled eggs on toast that tasted so strange with cauliflower. It might all seem like cool mises in paper but the tastes definitely did not blend at all. I ordered a ginger tea that was hot water with a few pieces of gigener added (that's not tea!). I definitely do not understand the hype nor the line up at this placr

Yay another great brunch place in Amsterdam! Everything was really good except for one thing and its the only reason why I can't give them 5 stars. The bacon! It's not that it wasn't good. It was just a-ok. When I think of a good brunch place I think of thick bacon cuts. The bacon here taste more like slices of ham :( But... Kudos to the corn fritters, Bloody Mary and egg dishes!

Love the brunch here! Great bloody mary. Very friendly people! The menu was great and the food delicious! I had the spiced pork belly with cucumber salad. Loved it. Also stole a bite from my BF's banger's and mash, also great! This Rum Baba didn't impress though. The cream was good and it was fun that you could add your own rum, but the cake was dry in texture. When you order tea you get a cute little pot, enough for several cups. Will definately come back here. Only one thing: It was soooo hot inside! Way to hot for my BF who was sweating all over the place.

The trouble with choosing a breakfast in places like Amsterdam are the vast range of restaurants, bakeries and cafés flooded through each neighborhood. This resulted in a consult with Google for top Amsterdam brunch spots...low and behold Little Collins! I found it interesting to have an Aussie restaurant in the heart of Pijp. Upon arrival you see a front window seating pane with people either reading a paper, plugged into their laptop or friends munching away. I went with a friend and it was just what we were looking for. We were seated right away (Friday noon) and quiet enough to chit chat through our meal. Waitress was very pleasant and we later found out the chef was American. I had the Carnivore...having protein is important in my diet. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Every component in the meal, except the bread was protein based. Eggs, bacon, huge slab of sausage and...beans! Eggs Benedict with beans was a little off putting for me but I thought I'd try it anyway. It was a first but now that's I've had it I'd have again in a heartbeat! The meal was very hearty without that incredibly heavy feeling. If you have a strong appetite along with an eggs benedict obsession, Little Collins is IT!

Food is good, drinks fine, service friendly but slow, cleanliness needs improving (from bar to bathroom).

I have only had brunch here, but I have been several times. The bloody mary's (Mexicana or otherwise) are delicious and I usually end up having two... Eggs Hollandaise is my favorite dish and I also really enjoyed the Mediterranean eggs with hummus. Friends and family have also enjoyed the other dishes on the Brunch menu and I think among us, we covered it all without a complaint. Delicious! The atmosphere is great, although it can get crowded and very tight.

Back to Amsterdam and had to hit up one of my fave brunch spots (where they happily give you tap water!) Still 5 stars! This time we also went for dinner, and after all is said and done, I definitely prefer their brunch. They are usually packed around peak times, so make a reservation or go at a kind of off time. We ordered 4 plates between the two of us for dinner and this was enough to fill us but not to be in a food coma. Service is always great and warm, especially by european standards.

I think 4 stars is pretty accurate. We went on a Saturday before Easter Sunday without reservations. It wasn't a problem and sat down as soon as we got there. I ordered Bloody Mary original and a cappachino. Both really good. My boyfriend ordered the kimchi Bloody Mary and after joking that it would probably be horrible it was REALLY good!!! Definitely would recommend that! We ordered the hollidase with bacon and the carnivore. Mine was the hollandaise which was again good but not the best brunch in the world - possibly the best in Amsterdam. The kale was weird but good. The bacon was amazing. The carnivore was amazing. Would recommend if you're in the area. And I'm sure I would come here again. The dishes around us served also look amazing and the portions are very good! All together with 3 drinks and two dishes we spent 44 euros

Charming little places with delicious bloody Mary's after a night out in Amsterdam! Worth a destination for brunch, yum.

Brunch food was amazing! Nice atmosphere. The staff were super friendly. They were quite busy so we waited like 10 minutes for them to bring us menus but then I went and got them. If your super picky this could be a bad thing but the food and drinks came quite quickly afterward. If recommend making a reservation outside if possible!

Good place to have brunch with comfort food. Right in the center of the Pijp, it offers a nice and cosy environment. + : Little Collins is one of those trendy places where you can have a filling brunch in a nice environment. Expect nice granola, a carnivore plate with typical British breakfast (eggs, sausage, beans...), rich salad or yummy French toast with it dose of sugar and honey. My friends loved their latte Macchiato and cafe latte. They also offers eggs benedicts (that looked quite appetizing on our neighbor's table :) ) and you can enjoy a bloody mary with your brunch. Really the American style. Food is what I really call comfort food : rich and tasty. There are few tables in front, so if the weather is nice, this is a great place to start the day. - : Food is good quality but nothing really stands out. I am personally a fan of healthy brunches. Our granola was a bit simple and missed some fruits, some honey... Salad was a bit too rich as it is filled with seeds and cheese. Sometimes fresh and simple is nice. There is no real options with fruits, great eggs dishes, tasty veggies options... I recommend if you are fan of American style breakfast and you like the "British / Australian" type of atmosphere. If you are looking for higher quality brunch, you might wanna pick another option in town.

I cannot say enough about this place. We go for dinner regularly, and at one point were going almost weekly. We can go, eat delicious dish after delicious dish, drink good wine, drink FREE water from a carafe, and we leave our stresses at the door. All at a great price :) We've gone as a couple, with friends, and with a large group. We've gone for brunch and for dinner and flip flop constantly on which is better (BOTH!) Anon (sp?) the chef is absolutely phenomenal. I will eat anything he puts in front of me. We see a notable difference when he is cooking versus anyone else but it is still always delicious. We've become very friendly with some of the waitstaff that make our visits that much better. We feel like friends of the restaurant!

Little Collins would get FIVE stars... if the wait didn't take so long. Let me put it this way: I finished nearly a third of my novel by the time my orders came through. That's one looooooooong wait. To be fair, the brunch menu is probably one of the best in town. Friends and I had a really difficult time deciding what to select. We went back and forth, ordered Bellinis to pass the time, and finally decided on our orders after nearly ten minutes of deliberating the menu. The choices looked that good. I ended up getting the ¡A HUEVO!, but swiped bites off of my friends' plates. Every single plate was a rockstar. The ¡A HUEVO! was a perfect mix of savory and sweet - silky egg yolk from the baked eggs mixed wonderfully with the braised ox and avocados. However, I adored the BANOFEELICOUS (peanut butter + french toast) and SAUSAGE & WAFFLES (sweet potato waffles were bomb!). While I don't want to have to go through the perils of long wait times again, for the brunch menu alone, it may be worth it.

Good breakfast and a great staff! We stumbled upon this great little restaurant and loved the fresh take on breakfast.

Very yummy "tapas" style restaurant in De Pijp! Great for people watching with good food and service.

It was an embarrassing day to be Australian. I excitedly recommended to my Dutch friend, that we should go to Little Collins in De Pijp, a short ride from where we had just done a workout. Fanging for some solid brunch goodness, we pulled up stumps and walked into the premises, only to be ignored by either an understaffed cafe, or hipsters fresh from 'somewhere more dope from where you're from' **judgementally looks person up-and-down** Once seated, the menus came and the waitstaff went, only to reappear and take our orders about 10 minutes later. Granted, she was friendly, had good banter, enthusiastically took our order and was restoring my faith in what is a semi-famous place for good eats. I was hopeful that this experience was going to prove the review in Het Parool's August 17th issue of P.S wrong, and I would be writing the resistance piece on Little Collins. Unfortunately, like the Rüfüs song, You Were Right, Gillies van der Loo. They do exude disinterest, like a kid following a butterfly's flight during an AusKick game at The Gabba. Our food arrived before our drinks, and catching the attention of waitstaff regarding our missing drinks was like trying to catch a tram down Little Collins Street in Melbourne - you have two walk to find it. We also had to point out that the order was wrong, and sausage was not requested with the Cilbir. No less than 25 seconds later, the food reappeared, with suspicious imprints of where sausage used to be on the bed of yoghurt. Luckily it's not the meat flavour that annoys me. When we were enjoying our food - because yes, once it does arrive it is flavoursome, delicious, layered with textures and a good-sized portion - a third waitstaff arrived with our drink. No, I'm not forgetting my plural for more than one drink. There was two of us, and one drink arrived. The fourth person of waiter/essing status arrived with the final piece in our brunch puzzle, and by this point, my companion and I needed to get out of here. Watching the waitstaff hurriedly rush around, looking lost (or not looking at patrons at all) is not the type of behaviour that elicits success, which pales in comparison to the two experiences I have had at Little Collins on the Bilderdijk. Funnily enough, one of the waitstaff there said to me, "we pride ourselves on our service, so that Dutch people can recognise what good service is, ya know?" Mate, not even Australians would accept this type of service in Australia. If you want brunch at Little Collins, their cafe on the Bilderdijk is a better representation of the quality you'd expect from the Colony. 2.5/5

I've been here many many times, and recommend it for a number of reasons: good food, great neighborhood (right near Sapharti Park in the Pijp and close to some great stores if you feel like making it a day out), and a fun environment for when you have visitors or are visiting. Come for some great bloody marys, a really nice brunch, and the Aussie-theme, but be prepared to wait awhile if it's a peak brunch time or the weekend. Indoor seating is fairly limited, just a few individual raised tables, the bar, and one or two big shared table. But they have some outdoor seating for when the weather is nicer. I've never been for dinner, but I've tried almost everything on their Brunch menu and haven't ever been disappointed. Try the Banh mi Brekkie (Hoisin braised duck, chicken liver pate, fried egg, HOT birds eye chilli, carrot, daikon & coriander salad, baguette.... pretty amazing), or the A huevo! (Spicy braised Ox-cheek, refried beans, baked eggs, smashed avocado, jalapeño salsa, crème fraîche, tortillas). Really interesting combinations and hearty portions. But the menu seems to change fairly frequently, so these options may not be available in a few months :). Worth the wait and the bike ride in the Pijp, always.

Nice spot for brunch. They change the menu often, I hear. That's the word on the street (or from a friend). Pretty healthy options, nice selection of drinks. And, open kitchen. Hooray! Open kitchens are the ish! I had a potato hash mash dish. It was super good. Granted, I was hungover and potatoes are the key to survival under the doom of a hangover, but it was delish. It can be dang busy on weekends - there was a line. I was excited to see a line - that rarely happens here. Anyway, overall - awesome spot for brunch!

One of our favourite meals of our Amsterdam trip! We ordered 3 items from the brunch menu - lamb, eggplant and the savoury waffle. All 3 were excellent but the eggplant was out of this world! I wish I could eat that every day. The cappuccinos were excellent and the service was really good too. This place is really close to a local market so be sure to walk off your meal while exploring all the goods nearby!

After being put on to Little Collins by my fellow Yelpers and THEN for the name to come up in 2 separate conversations with non-yelp friends (Are non-yelp friends allowed?) it was an obvious first stop on a mildly hangover-glazed Sunday morning. I had the breakfast tea which was delightfully floral and the Eggs Hollandaise. One of my biggest brunch disappointments is often having to choose between eggs benedict and eggs florentine. No such disappointment here, as Eggs Hollandaise has BOTH ham and spinach! On the whole, the dish was just delicious but that's purely a result of the perfect execution of each individual part of the dish. Eggs - Perfectly poached with a lava-like golden yolk Spinach - Perfectly seasoned with a real structure to it (yay strong plant cell walls!) - I could have eaten an entire plate of this alone! Hollandaise sauce - perfectly creamy and tangy Ham - Perfectly salty, smoky, sweet! This won't mean much to the reader but the ham tasted like my granny's ham. Let's just say as a kid I waited all year for Christmas to come so we could have Granny's ham. Sourdough toast - Crispy around the edges, soft goodness in the centre. In summary - pretty damn close to perfect. I loved that I walked out of here NOT smelling like grease or fried eggs. I've read other reviews which indicate how busy and crowded it gets but I got the feeling the use of space is much better here than in other Amsterdam brunch joints (Ahem, Greenwoods, I'm talking to you). I'll be back for the corn fritters and French toast and...we'll probably all of it.

I strongly recommande this place to have a brunch ! I think it is the best place for me to have a brunch in Amsterdam . Nice staff too.

Little Collins serves only brunch all day. I love brunch and feel like Amsterdam has really been lacking a nice cafe for this, and boy, Little Collins does not disappoint! The food is amazing. My pals had a thick slice of artisan bread smothered with ham, spinach, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, which they raved about! I had corn and cilantro cakes, which were really delicious and served with sour cream, guacamole, and bacon. All the food sounded amazing, there was a baked dish of beans that sounded nice, as well as bangers and mash and kedgeree on the menu. In addition to this amazing food, there was quite a list of brunch beverages: 4 types of bloody Marys, Bellinis, Pimm Cup, and some amazing coffee. The space is really nice, large and open with pale tiled walls and some outdoor seating. We got there at peak time (noon) and it was quite busy (fortunately we had a reservation) but after about 1:30 it seemed to clear out. It was a great space, a great meal, and I will for sure be back!!

The staffs here are pretty friendly and helpful. We ordered Frank's salmon (15.5 euros)and something with mashed avocado. And 2 glasses of fresh juice. The salmon with fresh mashed avocado is a great combination for salmon and avocado lovers!

I'll admit, we were on our way to the Heineken museum and needed to get some sustenance into our bellies before the beer tasting so we really didn't care what kind of food it was. I was pleasantly surprised when we found a cute little restaurant within the marketplace. It was love at first sight. The menu was healthy, hearty, and fresh. The juices are fresh squeezed and the meals were cooked to order. You could tell these two girls (the waitress and the chef) were really passionate about what they were doing. It's an open kitchen so we were able to see everything that was going on. The chef made sure to cook each dish carefully and only to order. Nothing was pre-prepared. I got the grapefruit juice & eggs hollandaise which came with toast, ham, and spinach. Look mom, all food groups are covered!

I went there for brunch on Sunday after reading some mixed reviews about it. When we got there, we were told we would have to wait around 15 min for a table, which was ok with us. The waitress wrote down our names and we waited. After 10 min, we saw that some people that arrived after us were getting a table so I went again to ask if there was a table for us, but she said that we had to wait for at least 30 min. The thing is that in 10 min, she had forgotten our faces and our reservation... But it was a misunderstanding and we finally got a table. We ordered the corn fritters and the pan-fried potatoes with pesto. Everything was good, specially the corn fritters, but as I read in other comments, nothing really stood out. After that, we ordered the chocolate and caramel cake which was delicious but... 7,50€ for such a small portion? I found that overpriced. In general, the place is ok, if it wasn't because the service is a bit sloppy. Don't get me wrong, everyone was friendly, but we noticed some details that could be improved. For example, the detail with our reservation or that when people sat down, they all got a bottle of water with glasses... We were the only ones who didn't. Nothing really serious, we just stood up and picked it up ourselves. Also, we wanted a chai tea with milk, no water, and the waitress didn't seem to understand us. It is not that I am really picky, but sometimes you notice when you go somewhere and everything flows and in this case, it didn't.

Came here with a large group of friends and was lucky to land a reservation on the huge communal table at the front of the restaurant. There were also quite a few tables on the large sidewalk patio. I really wanted to like the brunch here but it just fell flat for me. I had the Mediterranean -- basically hummus, pureed peppers on top of two small eggs with a couple pieces of toast. The best part of my meal (sadly) was the toast. The bread was nice and thick and pre-lathered with olive oil (to go with my hummus). The pureed pepper was bland and actually did not mix well with the eggs at the bottom of my plate. The eggs were not big and I ended the meal actually still feeling hungry. I thought brunch is supposed to cover 2 meals! Maybe I'd order something different next time, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Also, if you're looking to immediately sweat your hearty meal out, sit inside -- its a sauna in there.

My daughter and I came here for dinner on a Thursday night. Atmosphere was great, waitstaff friendly, food was just okay. It was recommended that we "share" a plate and the amount of food between us was plenty. We might try again for their breakfast/brunch as that seems to be what they're known for.
