Cozy place for food or beer. The girls of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The soup of the day that the waitress suggested was the best mushroom soup we had in Amsterdam and cheap as well. We had a peaceful dinner.

Interesting food and the fish soup is delicious. Zeppos has a very relaxed atmosphere about it and has a true Amsterdam flavour. I loved my visit.

Loved it. And loved it months later. Definitely worth a visit as the food was beautiful. Service was perfect and it was reasonably priced too. Such a beautiful spot and it was spotless clean 👌 even the toilets 👍.
I've revisited Zeppos (7 months later) and I have to say I highly recommend this place.
It's just a beautiful restaurant with wonderful staff and although I only had basically a ham and cheese toasted sandwich, it was amazing. My friends had more grown up dishes that my pallet couldn't take 🤣 and they loved it. To sit and take some time to yourself in a fairly quiet spot in the middle of Amsterdam, relax with friends and have a few responsible drinks I definitely give Zeppos 5 stars. 👍👍👍👍👍

Some of the best seafood in Amsterdam. Great service, great food, and not overly pricey, but getting your hands on a table during the weekends might be a bit of a challenge.

The fish platter is a must-try. Friend of mine also spoke very highly of his fish soup, in the top left corner.
