Fodor's Review:

This dark and woody café, as evocative as a Jan Steen 17th-century interior, has been serving the same cheese fondue for decades, and for good reason: it's just about perfect, especially if you enhance digestion—and the frolic factor—with plenty of orders from the fully stocked bar. Just start shredding the accompanying French stick and start dunking those bread bits into that wonderfully gooey mess. Like the Dutch, you, too, may be inspired to establish cheese fondue as your own celebratory meal of choice.

Amsterdam at it's best

Posted by ceboulon from Minneapolis on 8/13/07
At Cafe Bern you definately get typical Dutch Food: Cheese. But it is prepared in an un-Dutch fashion: fondue . . . and with lots of garlic. Don't expect the waiters to read your mnd or be nice to you. They are typically Dutch and efficient and eventually get the food to you. Don't get annoyed this is part of the experience. I would not take my first date here, but definately a group of friends.
