What’s the vibe?
You’ll find an eclectic crowd of Dutch and international residents, expats and tourists here, with an easy-going atmosphere and English-speaking servers. It’s always convivially packed on weekends, and the walk-in-only policy means you might be in for a wait, though a small terrace offers some more seats, weather permitting.
What are the prices like?
Simple brunch dishes start at around €5.50 for a slice of banana, rosemary and chocolate loaf, though you can easily spend about €40 on brunch for two (drinks excluded) here. Totally worth it, however.
What should I order?
The menu changes quite often here, and while choices are limited to a dozen or so dishes more than half are vegan or vegetarian, with a good balance of hearty and sweet and some gluten-free options too. You’re likely to find labneh, pita, all manner of spices and chillis on the menu; if you’re lucky, there might be a huge, deep-fried pickle. Trust us, with so many moreish offerings, you’ll still find it tricky to choose, but fear not: everything is delicious.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
Little Collins is located in De Pijp, a trendy neighbourhood in Amsterdam with great indie stores, bars and restaurants (most are clustered around the Gerard Douplein and -straat). The bustling Albertcuyp market is just down the road – do try some freshly made stroopwafel here if you can possibly manage it. Alternatively, walk off your brunch in the pretty nearby Sarphatipark, one of the best parks in Amsterdam.
