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.
Affiché en ENOver 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.

Omelegg est l'omeletterie néerlandaise par excellence — la première et la seule du pays, ouverte depuis 2013. Le concept est simple mais redoutablement efficace : des omelettes préparées avec des œufs de plein air, sans crème ni lait, faites minute devant vous. La carte propose des classiques fromage-herbes comme des combinaisons plus audacieuses, et les portions sont généreuses — de quoi tenir toute une journée de flânerie dans Amsterdam.
L'ambiance est petite et chaleureuse, sans chichis. On ne vient pas ici pour s'attarder trois heures autour d'un brunch festif, mais pour manger bien et vite. Le service est rapide et souriant, et le turnover de tables est fluide sans jamais te mettre la pression. Ils servent également leur propre café de marque, Eggspresso, qui se défend plutôt bien.
Avec plus de 2 500 avis et une note de 4,6 sur Tripadvisor, le bouche-à-oreille parle de lui-même. Viens tôt le week-end si tu veux éviter la file, et ne te casse pas trop la tête avec la carte — tout est bon, mais les omelettes signature sont là où Omelegg se démarque vraiment. La cuisine ferme à 15h30, c'est donc exclusivement un spot pour le petit-déjeuner et le déjeuner.
