About us

Welcome to Hans & Grietje! A place with a rich history that you can still feel as you step inside. Located in the vibrant heart of the Spiegelkwartier, with a lovely sun-drenched terrace and a stunning view of the Rijksmuseum, Hans & Grietje has been a meeting place for 150 years.

Where the former owner, Boonen, once served guests from behind the bar, it is now her great-great-grandson who runs this cozy café. Leather sofas, candlelight, and today’s newspaper—throughout the decades, the café has preserved its authentic charm while adapting to the changing city. We’d love for you to experience it yourself!

Welcome to the Spiegelgracht

Our restaurant is located in the heart of the Spiegelkwartier – Amsterdam’s art and antiques district, right next to the Rijksmuseum. Stroll through charming streets filled with galleries, unique boutiques, and historic buildings. A one-of-a-kind neighborhood where culture, creativity, and culinary delights come together.

Our Menu: Pure Amsterdam Flavor

Good food makes good conversation even better. That’s why our chef serves up classic dishes made with seasonal ingredients from Amsterdam and the surrounding region. Familiar Dutch flavors, prepared with honest ingredients from local farmers and makers we know by name.
