Hidden along the monumental Leidsegracht, just a stone’s throw from Leidseplein, lively Café George has been one of Amsterdam’s greatest hits for years. With its iconic entrance and classic tiled walls, this bistro brings the atmosphere of a French brasserie to the heart of the city. Looking for a restaurant near the Melkweg or DeLaMar Theater? It’s also the perfect spot for dinner before or after a show. Drop by for a cup of coffee, share champagne and oysters on our canalside terrace, or meet for a romantic date by the water. Truth be told, there’s never a wrong time to visit Café George.

Often imitated, never equalled: as a classic French restaurant, we give familiar bistro favourites a contemporary twist. Our chefs work with a changing menu full of surprising specials and roasts. Join us for a relaxed lunch, choose a lighter bite from the menu or settle in for a full dinner.

Our menu is home to plenty of icons: think warm French onion soup, our famous Steak Sandwich, fresh steak tartare and classic chocolate mousse served at the table. Still hungry later in the evening? Our kitchen is open until 23:00, so you can join us for a late dinner too.

Take a seat at our bar for a lively borrel or relaxed Friday drinks with friends or colleagues. Enjoy a Spritz on the canalside terrace, a good glass of wine or our iconic martini & fries combo. On Fridays and Saturdays, a DJ brings some extra energy and sets the tone for the weekend.
