OK -- there are two Greenwoods (this one on the Singel and another on Keizersgracht). We had breakfast on Singel, arriving just before the doors opened and the room filled up fast. Food and beverage made to order so if you're looking for short-order speed, don't come here and then complain things are "slow." And this is a canal house... More

We went to Greenwoond filled with promises of beautiful food. We left disappointed.. To start the service wasn't best thing ever and I can't even blame a full house because everyone was served when we arrived and both waiters were pretty much looking at each other. Now the food.. I ordered the Lamb Burger and that's exactly what I got.... More

Good breakfast, we both had eggs benedict. You will have to wait outside for a bit for a table, and tables are very close together. Service is on the slow side, so don't go if you are in a rush. It was OK but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again.

We called in here for a late lunch on the basis of earlier good reviews. Despite the fact that only three tables were occupied, including ours, the service was slow, to say the least. Initially the staff were too busy talking to each other to bring a menu then the same happened when we wanted to order. The tea selection... More

We had breakfast there twice, since it was close to our B&B. Hard to find a table but we were lucky both mornings. Great menu with Eggs Benedict, Eggs & Lax etc.

I think this restaurant has become too popular and frankly not worth the wait. Even once you get a table, you'll wait til you get to order, have a long while before the food arrives (one cook, one server - needs more staff), maybe see your server twice so good luck if you want anything during your meal. Food was... More

After reading several excellent reviews on trip advisor we set off to enjoy a good brunch. The cafe lived up to our expectations and the reviews in all respects except for the service. It is indeed a cozy setting along a canal, though the tables are very close together and inside it is a little dark. Food was also good,... More

Small restaurant with a lovely view of the canal spoilt for choice with the different teas on offer! My partner and I both had the creamy courgette soup which was delicious I want the recipe!! Homemade bread was tasty. Will be visiting again on our next trip!

Friendly staff, great english breakfast, extra large cup of latte and delicious carrot cake. It's not a huge place with a few tables outside. No booking on sundays and you'll just have to wait if it's busy.

I have not got a bad word to say about this place. The staff are friendly the food is great and you meet people from every walk of life dropping in. Great place to sit on the canal and watch the world go by.
