De Pont - Amsterdam

Ik verbleef in de ClinkNörd Hostel en pakte hier twee keer ontbijt voordat ik de stad binnenkwam. Het eten is echt goed, vers en lekker. Ik had de Eggs Beni met gerookte zalm en de drie gefrituurde eieren zonnige kant op brood met ham spek en kaas. Heerlijk en vulling voor wat de dag voorkomt! Goed werk De Pont.

Mooi bier. Alleen contant betaald. Goede terras. Mooi uitzicht. Ook goed voor grote groepen. Ook lekkere taart enzovoort.

Food was good and it's conveniently located across the water via free ferry from Amsterdam central. Only downside is they don't accept cash or American Express.

This was a great experience. Great food and very reasonable prices. Situated at the northern landing site of the free ferry service across the river Iy it is surrounded by glass wind screens that shelter you from any cool April breezes. You are constantly entertained by the hundreds of ferry travellers that rush on and off the ferries every 3 minutes. The sun shone on us that afternoon and we took the ferry especially to eat at this cafe. We were perhaps a little put off by some of the negative comments made by other reviewers and some of their complaints were valid in certain circumstances. For example the table service is not what I would call urgent but then we were in no hurry and found the service more than adequate. The food was excellent with a super open chicken-salad and cucumber sandwich costing only about €6 and a toasted ham cheese ciabatta €4. In the sunshine and outdoors we found the local pints of Grolsh pilsner lager to be so good as to be dangerous. If we had not had to make our flights home that evening I would have had to be helped back onto a ferry. I would almost consider going back to Amsterdam just to visit this eatery again.

This is a great spot to get some work done on your laptop, although a bit louder than the library or a Starbucks. The interior is spacious, somewhat 'divey ', and is very brightly lit with natural light. The windows have views for the Ij as well as the EYE. When the weather is nice, you can enjoy one of the dozens of picnic tables outside on either sides of the building. This means that De Pont is great for groups! I didn 't have food here, but the cappuccino was good, although the accompanying cookie wasn 't fresh, but I wouldn 't judge them for that.
