Café George — Amsterdam City Centre

Where Amsterdam gathers

Right in the heart of the city, Café George is where long lunches turn into dinners and “one drink” rarely means just one. A classic French café with a cosmopolitan edge — perfect for group dinners, business meetings, birthdays, and everything in between.

Café George is the original George and that place you always come back to. The lighting is warm, the marble bar is always alive, and the tables are made for conversation. Whether you’re planning a business lunch, a birthday dinner, or simply gathering friends for oysters and champagne, the atmosphere feels effortless and inviting.

From intimate dinners for ten to lively group celebrations, we know how to host. The layout allows for semi-private sections and long tables, while the bar is perfect for drinks before (or after) dinner. And on weekends, when the DJ starts spinning from 19:00, the evening naturally shifts into something a little more festive.

A Classic, Done Properly.

Got questions?

We’ve got champagne and answers.

  • Absolutely. Café George is perfect for group lunches, business dinners, birthdays and informal celebrations. For larger groups, special menus and shared dining options can be arranged.

  • We can offer a fully private experience with exclusive hire of the entire restaurant. This is available upon request and based on a minimum revenue guarantee.

    Please note that we don’t have semi-private spaces, so unfortunately that isn’t something we’re able to accommodate.

  • Depending on the setup, we can host up to 75 guests seated and up to 100 guests standing. The layout’s flexible, so there’s always room for one more toast.

  • Yes. Several dishes across the menu are vegetarian-friendly, and the kitchen is happy to accommodate dietary requirements when informed in advance.

  • For smaller groups, you can book directly online. For larger groups or private events, simply fill out the event form, and our events team will get in touch to help plan the details.

  • For groups up to 20 people, we offer a reduced a la carte menu for lunch & dinner.

Timeless classics with a confident, modern edge.

Start with French onion soup or escargots, share a shrimp cocktail, order a round of steak tartare prepared at the table — and don’t skip the Josper grill. The George Burger, rump steak, grilled chicken: bold, comforting, and made to linger over. Add a good bottle of wine, finish with sticky toffee pudding or crème brûlée, and suddenly the night feels young again.
