Nestled along the picturesque Marnixstraat in Amsterdam, Waterkant is a vibrant canalside bar and eatery that captures the essence of summer in the city.

We really liked it. The atmosphere is great. The food was very tasty. Also, a nice variety of drinks. (Alcoholic  and non-alcoholic). And service was also very good. 100% recommended.

It is a very nice place, it is self-service outside, you should not forget your table number when ordering😂 Actually, it would be an incredible place if you could both order and pay with the QR code on the table😍 Every beauty has a flaw. The toilets are clean 😇 It's great that they also provide wet wipes with the burger. When ordering a burger, if you don't like spicy, remember that it contains spicy mayonnaise😇 It is very enjoyable to sit outside in the summer, it is very enjoyable to sit and drink by the water while the ducks are walking around it😍

Great Sunday afternoon, had this place saved to visit for a long time and let me tell you, I should’ve came sooner! Great views and vibes.
Didn’t order any food but everything smelled delicious; I do recommend trying the Suriname Mule if you’re feeling into something fresh and spicy😉

I was absolutely blown away by the food, insanely delicious, huge portions and so flavourful. I savoured every bite and was so happy we got two dishes to share. The tables by the waterside bring a nice atmosphere, perfect for a sundowner drink and meal.
