Omelegg is Amsterdam's first and only dedicated omeletterie, and they take their eggs seriously — over five million cracked since 2013. This family-run spot serves up fresh, creative omelettes all day in a cozy, no-fuss setting right in the city centre. Skip the generic hotel breakfast and come here for the real morning deal.
Over 5 million eggs cracked since 2013 — Amsterdam's first and only omeletterie turns out the city's most satisfying all-day breakfast.
Go before 9am on weekends to skip the queue — this tiny spot fills up fast and they don't take reservations for small groups.
Amsterdam's egg obsession, done right
Omelegg has been cracking eggs since 2013 and they've gotten very, very good at it. As the first and only omeletterie in the Netherlands, they've built their reputation on doing one thing exceptionally well: omelettes made with free-range eggs, prepared fresh on the spot, with no cream or milk added — just pure eggs. The menu runs the gamut from classic cheese and herb to more adventurous combinations, and the portions are generous enough to fuel a full day of walking around Amsterdam.
The vibe is small and cozy — this isn't a place for a lingering three-hour brunch with mimosas. You'll likely share a table or sit close to your neighbours, but that's part of the charm. Service is fast and friendly, and they turn tables quickly without making you feel rushed. They also serve their own private-label coffee, Eggspresso, which is better than it has any right to be.
With over 2,500 reviews on Tripadvisor and a 4.6 rating, the crowds speak for themselves. Go early on weekends if you don't want to wait, and don't overthink the menu — almost everything is good, but the house specials are where Omelegg really shows off. Kitchen closes at 3:30pm, so this is strictly a breakfast and lunch spot.
