Greenwoods opened its doors for the first time on the Singel canal in Amsterdam on the 15th of September 1988. The restaurant made a name for itself for being the original hot spot for everyone’s breakfast, brunch, lunch and tea desires in the city. In June 2010 Dutchman Daniel Post took over and re-invigorated the venue, and introduced a few classic breakfast options that you will recognise, Eggs Benedict anyone? Two years later in 2012, a second location was opened on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam. This is when Jen Nelson, a Scottish lass, was brought on board. Jen grew into the role of general manager and managed both Amsterdam locations. In 2020 the opportunity rose for us to open a third location in Edinburgh and for Jen to move home, while taking part of Greenwoods with her. In May 2021 Greenwoods opened its doors on Frederick Street in Edinburgh.
We pride ourselves on sourcing top quality local ingredients and make our products fresh on the premises as much as we can. And of course, we also brought our Dutch roots with us as well. You’ll find it on the menu and in the restaurant itself. Fancy some traditional Dutch ‘appeltaart’ (apple pie)?
SIX PILLARS:
Our ‘Mum-osa’ is back… This time with Mango! 🥭
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers and mother figures out there 💐
Motherhood doesn’t look the same for everyone, and the role of a “mum” can be filled in so many different ways.
To everyone who nurtures, protects, teaches, and lifts others up, today is for you.
Also, a special Happy Mother’s Day as well to our Greenwoods Mum (last slide)! Jen and the twins are thriving 🩷
Sending love to those celebrating, those remembering and those who may find today a little difficult. 🤍

❤️Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️
It’s Valentine’s Weekend, it’s Rugby weekend, and the sun has decided to join the party… what a combo!
We’re nearly full for bookings (thank you!), but there’s still plenty of room for walk-ins, so do swing by for brunch. We’ll shuffle, squeeze, and smile our way to finding you a table.
Our delicious specials: ‘Eggs Mexicana’ and ‘The Benedict Flight’ are sticking around into next week and beyond, so the love affair doesn’t have to end just yet.
Here’s to sunshine, great matches, even better brunch, and a weekend full of good vibes.
See you soon! 💘

💖Be my Valentine, Lover?💖
Finding “the one” is hard. Picking just one Benedict? Even harder.
That’s why we created ‘The Benedict Flight’ — a perfectly portioned stack of each of our beloved Benedict styles… No commitment issues here! 😳
❤️ Love at first flight - Available from tomorrow❤️
