Little Collins brings Melbourne-style brunch to the heart of De Pijp, and honestly, it's one of the few places in Amsterdam where the hype is actually justified. The space feels effortlessly cool with its warm lighting and modern touches, but the real star is the food—think generous portions of smashed avocado toast with a poached egg, French toast that'll make you question your life choices, and coffee that doesn't skimp on quality. It's the kind of spot where you'll find locals mixing with visitors, all equally happy to be there on a lazy weekend morning.
Melbourne-style brunch done right
Little Collins has carved out a solid niche in Amsterdam's brunch scene, and if you're looking for that authentic Melbourne vibe without the flight, this is your spot. The smashed avocado toast is arguably the best in the neighborhood—creamy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a runny poached egg that you'll want to dip your toast into for hours. The French toast is another standout, rich and indulgent without being overly sweet. The staff are friendly and efficient, which matters when you're trying to enjoy a leisurely weekend meal.
The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between trendy and comfortable. It's not stuffy, but it's not chaotic either—just right for catching up with friends or working on your laptop with a good cup of coffee. The location in Oude Pijp means you're surrounded by other great spots, but Little Collins stands out for its consistency. You won't find the same level of quality at every table, but when it works, it really works.
