Time Out says

Slow food served up by a friendly couple who grow their own veg and herbs in a greenhouse

What’s the vibe?

Gartine offers a cosy oasis just off the Kalverstraat, Amsterdam’s busiest shopping street. Organic food is served on mismatched vintage crockery and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

What are the prices like?

Breakfast prices start at €4.50 for a croissant with butter and homemade jam and a more extensive brunch for two will set you back less than €30 (excluding drinks).

What should I order?

The menu undergoes regular seasonal revisions, though rest assured the ingredients will always be fresher than fresh as it’s harvested from the owners’ kitchen garden in the nutrient-rich soils of the nearby Beemster area. The Frisian sugar bread French toast is a signature. Served here with dates, roasted nuts, butter and maple syrup.

What’s worth visiting nearby? 

This restaurant is right at the heart of Centrum, steps away from a busy high street, the quaint Beginhof, a medieval Beguine courtyard with Amsterdam’s oldest still-standing house. Alternatively, hop on a canal boat tour at the quay of the Oude Turfmarkt just down the road or, if you’re interested in ancient history and culture, pop into the adjacent Allard Pierson Museum of Antiquities.
