De Pont - Amsterdam

I was staying at the ClinkNoord Hostel and grabbed breakfast here twice before venturing across into the city. The food is really good, fresh and tasty. I had the Eggs Beni with smoked salmon and the three fried eggs sunny side up on bread with ham bacon and cheese. Delicious and filling for what the day brings ahead! Good work De Pont.

Nice beer. Only cash payment. Good terras. Nice view. Good for big groups as well. Also fine cake and so on.

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.
