Benji’s, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2 May 2026

This is a street café, with both outdoor and indoor seating. Let me start with the drawbacks: menu only and teabags only. That being said, the menu was certainly varied and with a party of four we managed to sample a number of different dishes and drinks. The hot chocolate was very good. Everything was very nicely prepared, excellent scrambled eggs on sourdough toast for instance. The French Toast was nice but the strange green sauce that came with it did not elicit enthusiasm. The red berry scone was also much appreciated. It is always difficult to judge something like this after one visit, but it was certainly quite a bit better than average, and I think 6.5/10 is a fair verdict.
