Charming Jordaan brunch spot known for truffle eggs, Swedish-leaning specials, and friendly service; expect moderate prices, occasional waits, and a lively room.
Kessens delivers solid A-grade brunch through exceptional food quality—particularly standout truffle cream eggs and Swedish-influenced specials—paired with warm, attentive service. The desirable Jordaan location and stylish interior create appealing ambiance, though occasional peak-time service delays and consistency variation prevent higher distinction. Strong execution across dimensions makes it competitive with Amsterdam's better neighborhood brunch spots.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely moderate for Jordaan but some plates feel small; consider a side or dessert
