Can anyone recommend a nice place for lunch within walking distance of the Van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum? Going this September.
What are you looking for? A quick sandwich in between museum visits or a longer more leisurely lunch?
I enjoyed my lunch in the cafe of the Rijksmuseum itself
There's also a nice restaurant in the modern art museum that is adjacent to the Van Gogh Museum.
About a 10-minute walk is a place called The Pantry.

Also not far is The Seafood Bar.
The restaurant at the Rijksmuseum was perfectly fine.
I liked Café Loetje about a 5 minute walk from there. It's listed in the RS Amsterdam guide.
We had a fine meal at this place in March. It's near the Seafood Bar.

In September, it would be lovely to sit outside, and they had a huge area for it.
On the recommendation of my nearby hotel, I had lunch one day at Small Talk, a cafe which is less than a 5 minute walk from the Van Gogh museum but seemed to have mostly locals. It has outdoor seating if the weather is nice. On other days I enjoyed dinners at The Pantry and The Seafood Bar (both recommended in posts above) and an ok lunch at the restaurant in the nearby modern art museum.
