Snackchat: best Eggs Benedict in Amsterdam

Calling all runny egg lovers! What beats two gooey, golden eggs with crispy bacon on two toasted muffins, topped off with thick and creamy hollandaise sauce? Nothing. Eggs Benny is everything we need in life. And whenever they’re on the brunch menu: we order them.

Why are Eggs Benedict so popular these days? Unless you’re an experienced chef yourself, we know (we tried, we failed) they’re pretty hard to make. It’s easy to ruin poached eggs. And therefore, it’s a real treat when your Eggs Benedict served perfectly on a plate. Call it a fancy-schmancy treat. Also: it’s the satisfaction of watching the yolk spill under my knife that never gets boring. Last but not least: there are many variations that are worth trying too. Did anyone say salmon and avo? Yasssss.

George
An Amsterdam classic. Will never go wrong. George’s is famous for its Eggs Benedict, Eggs Florentine and Eggs Norwegian.

Scandinavian Embassy
Noted for its delish Eggs Norwegian (they serve the finest salmon in Amsterdam) sensational coffee and cinnamon buns. Can be crowded during weekends, this place is tiny.

Strangelove
A hidden gem in Amsterdam West. No online menu, but this restaurant in indie film theatre LAB111 serves delicious Eggs Benedict with oyster mushrooms and spinach, topped off with Hollandaise sauce. Super hungry? Order some burger sliders on the side.

G’s
One of the best places for brunch in Amsterdam. They’ve got three locations in the city plus the very popular brunch boat sailing every weekend. The menu features poached eggs with Alaskan smoked sockeye salmon and avocado + all the sides you fancy. Make sure to check the ‘bloody mary records’ for a tipsy brunch.

Radijs
Perfect spot at the buzzing Jan Evertsenstraat. Not too crowded, not too touristy. Serves different delicious variations of Eggs Benedict. When the sun is out, make sure to get your ass over to the terrace overlooking the canal!

Bakers & Roasters
Good to know: Bakers & Roasters is foodie heaven, but make sure to que for at least 40 minutes if you haven’t made a reservation. This place has been named in every tourist guide because they serve an enormous range of outstanding brunch dishes (the eggs benny are to die for). It’s excellent, it’s crowded. But from a food lover point of view it’s definitely worth the wait.
