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:
It’s a HIT!
The new menu is flying out! 🔥
If you haven’t tried it yet, we’ll see you soon? 🙃

🎂HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY GREENWOODS!🎂
Wow… where do I even begin? What an incredible journey and rollercoaster!
Thank you to every single person who has walked through our red door. We quite literally wouldn’t be here without you. Your support over the last five years has meant everything to us. ❤️
Edinburgh welcomed us with open arms, and despite navigating a pandemic and the many challenges that small businesses continue to face, we’ve fought our way through it all. Looking back, we’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together.
As many of you know, I also welcomed twins last year…which brought a whole new set of challenges and joys! They say it takes a village to raise children, and I truly believe the same applies to running a business.
To the entire Greenwoods team, past and present — We simply would not be here without the amazing people who have been a part of this journey over the last five years. You embraced our vision, shared our passion, and cared for the business as if it were your own. Your hard work, loyalty and belief in Greenwoods helped shape it into more than I ever imagined possible.
From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!! 🙏🏼
Here’s to the next chapter 🥂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers and mother figures out there 💐

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. 🤍
