Nestled in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam's Jordaan district, Gs is a lively and eclectic restaurant that offers a perfect blend of hearty brunch options, innovative cocktails, and a hip-hop inspired ambiance. This spot is renowned for its unique decor, featuring images of iconic rappers like A$AP Rocky and a playlist that celebrates the greats of hip-hop and R&B, creating an energetic yet cozy atmosphere that attracts locals and travelers alike.

This was probably the worst food spot my friend and I stopped by while in Amsterdam. Although their dip on crack was AMAZING, everything else that followed, food-wise, was pretty disappointing. 

We reserved our spot ahead of time and they honored that when another couple arrived before us. Thanks for that!

Gotta add that the drinks were also yummy - they took long making them, but they are extremely easy on the eyes and they taste good, too.

I got the Korean chicken and my friend got chicken and waffles. The chicken had almost little to no flavor - just as if they dipped it in salty Korean sauce. The mushrooms weren't really sautéed.

As for the chicken that came with the chicken and waffles, It was very bland. That, too, seems to have been dipped in oil... fried... and placed on a plate. + the waffle was pretty over-cooked/hard.

Additionally... it's very interesting that the spot is clearly inspired by hip-hop culture with images of rappers such as A$AP Rocky on the wall. The playlist included people like Brandy, Solange and so forth... the greats. But... no POC in or around the restaurant. Very interesting observation. The people working there: 10/10. The amazing hostess/waiters, the beautiful decor and the dip on crack is what I would come back for.

I enjoyed a nice brunch here with some yelpers. 
Plus-
*Quinoa Salad was good.
*Customer service is excellent and fast.
*Good energy and vibe.
*Ambiance cool.

*Con-
*Location is not so easy to find.
*Space is tight, so it is best to go early for a seat.
*Mimosa horrible, so select another drink.
*Ok music, but too loud.
*Menu is limited, for Celiac Folks.
However, overall it's a good place to try out, if your looking for a good brunch and you don't have any food allergies.
So Enjoy!

Delicious!! It's a small place but the hostess does a great job keeping track of who is waiting and offered to bring a drink while we were waiting. The cocktails all sounded delicious. The bloody Mary's we tried were both good and spicy. And I pretty glassware. 
Both entrees were good and so many other things on the menu sound amazing. The chicken and cheddar waffles were good. Chicken (boneless) was crispy. The hot sauce served with it was hot. Almost a Nashville hot sauce. The Benedict served on chicken and spinach and bacon was somehow light for a benedict. The Americano was one of the best we've had. Great service throughout our visit. We will be back!

After attending G's boat brunch And loving it i wanted to go back and try the restaurant which offers a larger menu.  The decor at G's is pretty eclectic where some tables are positioned near couches where you can sit on the couch while you enjoy your brunch.   G's also offers an extensive Bloody Mary menu.  I unfortunately do not like Bloody Mary's but if I did I would be in heaven.  

I ordered the brunch dip which was amazing.  A warm dip of tomato, bacon, avocado and sour cream that is eaten spelt is delicious.  I love breakfast appetizers but who doesn't! I then had the eggs Benedict with bacon and avocado which was just as good as the dip!  Everyone enjoyed their meal, atmosphere and service.  

I highly recommend G's for breakfast or brunch!

Gs is one of my favourite little spots to hang out- they do brunch, lunch and dinner on some nights and let me tell you, it's full of hip and swagger but for good reason!

The G in Gs, stands for George- who you'll recognise as the charming gentleman who generally greets as you walk in. If he's not at the restaurant, he's on the Gs boat and if you can't find him there, he's likely at Ludwig!

Anyway, when I first arrived in pretty Amsterdam, I was told about this great brunch spot, but given my limited (good) food experience in Amsterdam, I assumed the restaurant was a unicorn. In other words, non-existent, made up and fabricated with many of us randomly chasing the dream.

But imagine my surprise, when I finally made it in on a frosty grey morning- orders were taken, drinks were served and stomachs were filled.

We were smart enough to make a booking before hand so the wait was only momentary- it's worth doing on the weekend because getting in here can be tough. They do however only book half the tables, so you can luck out and get in!

So things that are a must to order? They're famous for a few things, firstly the bloody marys! There's currently 6 different kinds (YES! 6!) and if you add an oyster (for an extra €3), you upgrade Mary to Mitzy, Mary's sluttier sister! Not into tomatoes? Well.. good thing they have a bunch of other drinks on their menu! Hello bourbon peanut butter milkshake!

Then there's the eggs benedict- it also comes in a variety of ways that'll surely satisfy anybody (except if you're vegan because uhm.. eggs). There's also a menu special worth calling out- The Hungry Drunk. This king sized meal comes with eggs any which way, some baked beans and your choice of sides and.. wait for it....... 4 BLOODY MARYS! So you better be hungry and thirsty!

Now, if brunch isn't your thing, well poo to you. But come back most Thursday evenings for a bit of jerk(in)' things like chicken, ribs, fries and old school hip hop! Yep, Gs, in a nutshell- good people, good food and good fun!

This was by far my favorite find in Amsterdam. A brunch and cocktail place. What else needs to be said? The decor is fantastic and the people are nice. Reservation highly suggested as it's a small space.

The brunch is hearty and a great deal with high quality ingredients and precious presentation. The ginger tea was to die for. 

Definitely a must-eat-at place in the heart of the Jordaan district of Amsterdam.

It is supremely crazy that I had never even heard of this great spot so close to home all these years. Luckily, that has been taken care of and I had my first brunch here today.

Let's get this out of our way - the food is terrific! Between us, we ordered the French toast, breakfast burrito, the avocado toast, dauphinoise potatoes, and bloody marys. Everything was deliciously awesome. From the syrup to the toast, everything was near perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch, and best of all didn't come out feeling bloated and helpless for the rest of the day. 

Service was great and with a smile, which is something that you almost universally miss at the majority of mediocre Amsterdam establishments. The hosts were gracious and welcoming, often times engaging in interesting stories with the patrons.

The interior serves as an art gallery where local artists could exhibit their pictures and drawings/paintings on the walls as hungry people cherish one of the best things in life. There's a regular Sunday evening movie event, too, which explained the dangling projector from the ceiling. Space is congested and we saw quite a few tables for 4 occupied with 2 couples. Of course, anything in the name of great dining, even if it involves being friendly towards others.

I really wanted to try the dessert, but didn't have any remaining capacity. Perhaps the next time.

In any other city, I would have given G&T's 4 stars owing to lack of enough seating, but this is Amsterdam, and space is at ridiculous premium, so they get what they deserve!

Now named G's, this place was everything and more; G's completely lived up to my expectations and filled me with a delicious, true English breakfast. 

The menu is fun to read, the food delicious and cooked perfectly, the cocktails look so tempting you feel obliged to drink one, and the staff are happy! 

I can wait to go back again. Best brunch spot in Amsterdam so far for me!

Lit.

Yelp says the review is too short. But nothing else needs to be said. 

Pancakes gave me diabetes and I'm not even mad, they were so good. Eggs and avo were California level. 

Wish we came here sooner and didn't eat at a shit nugget of a place called Burger Land that isn't even on Yelp bc the owners know better than to subject themselves to verbal abuse.

One of the best spots in Amsterdam for brunch - cooked by my very talented friend Mia in a very small kitchen. And lord, the magic she manages to prepare in there! You probably think I'm biased and I am sure I am. But I am also right about this place. Everything on the menu is good - no great. Eggs Benedict, BLTCA sandwich, scones, milkshakes (which they will serve again once they replace the broken blender), coffee, ginger tea, challah French toast. And of course: their Bloody Mary.

Do not go here if you are in a hurry: you will probably have to wait a bit for a table and  service is laid back. Which kind of fits. 

G's is a little gem that is definitely worth your visit. It has me coming back time after time!
