Nice family restaurant serving hearty, simple, down-to-earth homemade dishes and frequented by locals. I liked the beef stew, which is delicious and comes with generous portions of beans and potatoes. The restaurant is very small and reservation is highly recommended. I tried to go to this restaurant twice: first time I showed up around 6pm and all the tables were occupied; second time I showed up around 5pm on a weekday night and managed to snatch one out of two empty tables, except that my table was spoken for starting from 6pm. So if you plan to dine there between 6-8pm, I highly recommend you make a reservation because all their tables get booked up starting from 6pm even on a random weekday. I really like the photos/pictures hanging on the walls.

I emailed about 10 days beforehand & received a reply really quickly confirming my booking. Sadly they couldn’t find it when I arrived but accommodated us as we were there at 6.30pm. Phew

The staff were friendly, approachable and made us feel welcome in “Yummy bites”. I had the stewed beef which was tasty, filling and just the right portion size.
Also thought I’d try the home made pudding, sadly not to my type as it was really sweet and an odd consistency but I’m glad I tried it.

Would recommend a visit but if you want a table and haven’t booked then go early.

Fantastic Local restaurant that serves authentic Dutch cuisine.  The award winning Viennese Scitchzel was really good and the stewed beef exceptional. It is a small and cozy place so make reservations in advance as it is ofen full.  The service was fast and friendly, we will definitely be back when visiting Amsterdam.

We really enjoyed our visit to Hap-Hmm. The interior is less a restaurant, more a home and has an atmosphere to match. We were warmly welcomed and appeared to be surrounded by locals and I would assume regulars. Meals were very good and great value, service was excellent. Would highly recommend

I was so pleasantly surprised when I came to this restaurant.  Nothing pretentious,  nothing fancy or over the top, just a simple small place where people come for a home cooked meal with simple yet high quality ingredients ( and with a helping of love for the craft of cooking).
If you get hot easily, do not come here because the restaurant does not have air conditioner and it gets stuffy.
It absolutely gave me the endearing impression of a meal at home. Creamy mushroom soup elicited nostalgic emotions.  The delicious and cooked to perfection schnitzel with a balck pepper sauce  was a celebration of quality meat. The simple sides of cooked leeks and fried ( real, not French fries) potatoes made it so much homier. For dessert , we went for the pudding of the day, which was a tapioca pudding ( not the nursing home kind, but the delicious and thick kind) with whipped cream and a liqueur-used thinl layer of sauce with have a gourmand bitterness,  toning down the sweetness.  My sister had an airy chocolate souffle ( which is exceptionally hard to make, despite the seemingly easy recipe) with a cherry preserve, sweet, yet tart.
Two things to note, you absolutely need a reservation here!!!
To the owners,  please change "whippet" cream to "whipped", because it gives the wrong impression;).
