As soon as you walk into Brasserie George, you feel it: this is no average neighborhood café, but an elegant flirtation with London and Paris - with Amsterdam nonchalance. The interior, designed by Framework, mixes brass and marble with a generous helping of light and air. And yes, you sit here first row by the water.
On the menu? Classics with a twist. Think crunchy Fish & Chips on Wednesdays, a sizzling Sunday Roast with all the trimmings, and signature dishes like Pizza Tuna - a tartare that's more fashion than fast. Chef Tom Haines, who you may know from other George concepts, provides the perfect balance of comfort and finesse.
And then George Deli, right next door to the brasserie. This is where you get your flat white during the day, your lemon gelato or a baguette so crisp you forget for a moment you're not in the South of France. The atmosphere? Easy-going, with a neighborhood feel and an energetic team that knows how to keep people coming back.
"Brasserie George is like a French brasserie that secretly has a crush on London - but with Amsterdam views."
What both places have in common is an eye for detail. Not only on the plate, but also in the vibe. You feel welcome - whether you plop down with your laptop or end the day in good company with a glass of cold and something hot on your plate.
