Seafood restaurant
Bar
The Seafood Bar is a renowned restaurant with three locations in Amsterdam, founded by Fons de Visscher, a former fishmonger. The menu offers a wide selection of European-style seafood dishes, including whole lobsters, oysters on the half shell, and fresh sustainable seafood. The newest location at the Beurs van Berlage follows the same successful concept as the others.
We were absolutely delighted with this place. A huge selection of seafood dishes and enormous portions. The four of us ordered a grilled seafood platter. The menu said it was for two, but even with four people, we barely managed to finish it. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Brian and Jara took amazing care of us. The entire dining dinner experience was exceptional and it was the best dinner I’ve had in all of Europe of the 4 countries I visited (Austria, Spain, France & the Netherlands). We ordered 3 appetizers, 2 entrees, 3 sides and dessert. Every single dish was cooked to perfection - flavorful, balanced, savory and delicious. I would say 15/5 stars because the service and food were excellent. Brian and Jara were both very attentive. We asked a lot of questions and we were impressed all around. I will also add that me and my husband are huge foodies from the U.S. who eat in some of the best restaurants that the East Coast has to offer. Definitely a must try! Enjoy! My hats off to the chef.

One of the best seafood bar every. Had great Grilled Octopus with garlic. More extra garlic would be bring much more to the taste. Mixed Grilled Seafood. Was great and fresh. Crispy and soft. Shoot out to Emma one of the best people very helpful and smiling all the time. Sorted out all issues and made the stay at this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere, employees were very polite and helpfull! Food tasted good, but a bit pricey for what you get. As it was crowded the temperature was a bit on the hot side, could be a bit colder and in some parts in the back of the restaurant it was way too dark! Definitely recommended.

On behalf of our group over 30ppl, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Shift Manager Joao and his team at Seafood Bar, the Spui for the exceptional service provided during our dinner. Joao team’s organization, professionalism, and ability to handle our ad-hoc dietary requests and special requirements were truly outstanding. The timely responses and seamless management of our large group made the evening a memorable success. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and impeccable service, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We visited this seafood restaurant while in Amsterdam, and it was absolutely incredible! Every dish was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavours you could really taste the quality. The service was next-level; Daniel looked after us and was an absolute star, charming, attentive, and full of personality. The whole experience felt effortlessly elegant yet relaxed. If you’re in Amsterdam and want a memorable, high-end dining experience with amazing vibes, this is the place to go!

We had a wonderful dining experience here! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were exceptionally polite and attentive. Our group of over ten people was thoughtfully seated in a comfortable corner area, and they even suggested serving the dishes in smaller portions so everyone could enjoy each item. Truly appreciated their kindness and attention to detail!

We had a very nice lunch in a bustling, bright, cheerful, atmosphere. The staff were accommodating, polite and attentive. I had crab cakes and mussels which were delicious and my wife, the turbot. The oysters and seafood platters on nearby tables looked really good and were obviously going down well. We were happy with the price and will definitely return.

Mossel & Gin is a trendy, laid-back restaurant with an industrial vibe and a focus on classic seafood dishes and specialty gin cocktails. The menu boasts an array of gin concoctions, from traditional G&Ts to more adventurous blends infused with fresh herbs and spices. The eatery's dinner offerings center around mussel-based plates served with fries, as well as other international seafood delights like Italian-style grilled octopus and British fish and chips.
This restaurant combines 2 of my favorite things: mussels and gin tonics. We had mussels in several kinds of sauce and Gin tonics and the whole dining experience was amazing! I loved the Roquefort mussels as well as the fries. Also, the combination of gin and mussels is absolutely brilliant!! I highly recommend this place.
Sarah H — Google review
A cozy and hidden sort of restaurant with specific different flavors of mussels served, located inside Westerpark. They have different Gin&Tonic options. We can put this place next to touristic restaurants in the city in terms of price, and ambience. Their fish burgers are tasty and so mussels with the truffle sauce. rices are slightly above the average, since they are serving seafood. staff are helpful and friendly, service speed is neither fast nor slow. Overall a pretty location for a date or a friend group. There is congestion at the toilet since cabins are limited and not practical to enter.
Berat E — Google review
The gin was good. I was hoping that the mussels were gonna be better than the first time I went there around 10 yrs ago. The portions are smaller, the flavours a bit underseasoned. Had the nduja flavour just for a change, but it's probably better on a pizza. Next time, I'll stick to the classic. Fries are still excellent.

The mussels were fresh, the Thai sauce was very good, but I’m not so good in eating mussels by hand so I get extremely dirty. It’s really not their fault.

Really good quality for money My friend and I had the mussels and a pitcher of gin. Highly recommend the mango and chilli gin, it's delicious. Also definitely try the Japanese style mussels, really innovative and better than the original white wine sauce ones.

Café Sonneveld is a charming restaurant located in the trendy Jordaan neighborhood, offering a genuine Dutch experience. Situated beneath the former apartment of renowned Dutch singer Wim Sonneveld, the restaurant showcases an extensive collection of memorabilia dedicated to him. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere, along with excellent service, sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The menu features traditional Dutch dishes such as pea soup and bitterballen, alongside other well-prepared options like spare ribs.
An authentic Dutch experience with comfort food that hits the spot! Café Sonneveld was one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—classic Dutch charm with a local, cozy feel. The spareribs were absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. A must-try if you’re a meat lover! I also had the stamppot, which felt like the ultimate comfort food—hearty, satisfying, and full of traditional flavors. It’s a dish that makes you feel at home, even if you’re far away from it. Surprisingly, the tomato soup was one of the standouts too—rich, comforting, and with just the right balance of sweetness and tang. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience traditional Dutch cuisine done right. Great service, great atmosphere, and food that warms your heart. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town!

Visiting Café Sonneveld was a real treat! The pork ribs were phenomenal—tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a rich, smoky flavor that just melted in my mouth. Every bite was a delight, and it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in its dishes. The service was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The café itself has a warm, cozy atmosphere, with a casual yet charming vibe that makes it ideal for both a relaxed lunch or a hearty dinner. Watching the staff interact with other guests, you can tell it’s a place where people enjoy working and genuinely care about the dining experience.

Foodhallen is a trendy indoor food market located in the former tram depot of Oud-West neighborhood in Amsterdam. It's part of the larger De Hallen complex and features over 20 diverse food stalls offering a wide range of global cuisines, from Greek meze to Vietnamese summer rolls, American barbecue to wood-fired pizzas. The market is popular with both locals and visitors due to its high-end food options, including gourmet burgers, vegan sushi rolls, and more.
Possibly the best food hall we’ve ever been to. We went four nights in a row, it’s that good, and ate something different every time and there was still way more we could have tried. Coming from the UK we were also surprised by how reasonably priced it was. Pro Tip - try the lemonade with lime and mint from the central bar, taste sensation. Loads of veggie and gluten free options. It’s always packed but you will find a seat as people tend to move around quite quickly, just be mindful you can’t sit for ages unless you are eating and drinking but there’s plenty of space near the bar to stand as well. 100% must visit.

A great food hall with tons of vendors and a huge variety of options! My partner and I split up to order, each finding something we loved quickly and managing to snag a table during a busy Thursday night. Great for meet ups and nights when you don’t want to cook in!

We went here on a Friday around 4pm and it wasn‘t too crowded. We walked around for a good ten minutes just enjoying the atmosphere and looking at all the different food options. I got a poke bowl with vegan salmon which tasted okay and was a little too small for my liking, but the real star of the show were my friend‘s fries which came at a great price and tasted amazing. The portion was huge too, so it was enough to share :) We also tried the cannolis and those were great too.

A well designed food market with delicious foods and variety of different dishes. The prices are quite high for fully self service, e.g. 8€ for a simple Heineken beer from draft. The sweets (cupcakes) are highly recommended.

We visited over the weekend and there was a DJ playing viral music—it was a really fun atmosphere. Everything is super clean and well-organized. The food selection is excellent, and there’s truly something for everyone. My recommendation is to try one dish from several different stands so you can taste more, because everything is absolutely delicious!

A perfect spot for casual and fun dining. There’s a great variety of options, though I find the food a bit pricey for a “plaza” setting. As for the atmosphere, I would improve the quality of the chairs (they’re uncomfortable) and the acoustics, as it can get quite noisy.

Nestled on Spiegelstraat, Lombardo's is a must-visit for burger enthusiasts exploring Amsterdam. This vibrant eatery, adorned with lush plants, offers an impressive selection of classic and inventive burgers alongside vegetarian options and sandwiches. The wagyu burger stands out as a top choice, boasting rich flavors that are hard to resist. For those seeking a spicy kick, the Dragon Burger delivers an exhilarating experience that ignites your taste buds while showcasing the city's lively atmosphere.
These burgers are delicious! The place is tiny so don’t expect a seat because there’s always people in here but luckily, the service is fast so if there isn’t a seat when you first arrive, there will be a spot by the time you order your food. Great little spot with delicious food. Just know that when you say yes to potatoes, you said yes to real potatoes, not fries 😂 Americans, hahaha 🙈

I've been to quite a lot of burger places in Amsterdam, and I think this has got to be the best of the lot! A selection of really interesting burgers, well priced and cooked to order. Great service and the staff were friendly and had a good laugh with us. I think on this trip we went 3 times over the weekend as we wanted to try the different burgers! Only a small seating area so more of a casual stop for food rather than a large restaurant, but if you're in the area highly recommend stopping off!!

Lombardos serves one of the best artisan burgers in Amsterdam — juicy, flavorful, and with a cultural twist that makes it stand out. Seating is limited and they don’t serve alcohol for dining in, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. A must-try for burger lovers! 🍔

We stopped by Lombardo’s and tried the signature Wagyu burger، honestly, one of the best I’ve had. Juicy, flavorful, just perfect.

Pesca Vis Seafood Restaurant in Amsterdam offers a unique dining experience with its open fish market concept. The restaurant's menu features fresh seafood that changes daily, allowing customers to select their own fish and side dishes from the counter. This innovative approach provides an authentic fish market experience and ensures a changing selection of fish based on delivery, seasonal availability, and weather conditions.
Amazing experience!! The cooking style is indeed creative, considering they don't have a fixed menu. We finished two whole fishes between the four of us, with some extras. Totally full and satisfied. The price to quality ratio is very much acceptable, since it may vary based on your own choice.

I love my experience in this amazing seafood restaurant. From beginning to end, I feel I am well taken care of and well informed. Especially love the way of ordering the food. I am shown to the fresh seafood and can pick whatever I like to be cooked. Some of them are grilled and some are fried. The taste is top quality, the speed of serving reasonable. Before the dish, I have the bread with amazing butter source. I will visit again when I visit Amsterdam next time. You need to book in advance! It’s popular.

Unique experience like no other. It may sound intimidating to hear there’s no menu and you walk in and choose the fish that’s on display, but the staff are so wonderful at walking you through it all. The flavors were phenomenal and unique. We had Dutch oysters, calamari, scallops, burrata salad and the monkfish.
Beth S — Google review
What a feast! Pesca truly deserves its reputation as the best fish restaurant in town. From the moment you walk in, you feel it’s not just dining — it’s an experience. I went with my girlfriend and daughter, and from the very first bite we were smiling. My daughter was so delighted she couldn’t stop spinning around on her chair — that’s how much fun she was having! We started with freshly baked bread and cured salmon, followed by crispy fried river crabs — salty, juicy, and perfectly crunchy. Then came a parade of ocean delights: red gurnard served with a delicate buttery sauce that beautifully highlighted its sweet, ocean flavor; tender pulpo with just the right char; and a selection of fresh shellfish, each cooked to perfection and bursting with taste. The vongole pasta was simply divine — creamy, rich, and full of that deep, briny character that takes you straight to the sea. Even the sides stood out: golden fries that couldn’t be crispier and aubergine so tender and flavorful it practically melted in your mouth. To top it all off, we had a beautiful white wine from Zeeland — fresh, mineral, and the perfect match for the meal. At Pesca, you don’t just taste fish — you taste craftsmanship, joy, and genuine love for the product. The staff is warm and knowledgeable, the atmosphere relaxed yet refined, and the whole experience feels like dining in a modern fish market with a touch of theatre.
Ruben B — Google review
Pesca isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a whole experience around seafood. The concept of “theatre of fish” is executed beautifully as you select from the freshest seafood on display, guided by staff who are both knowledgeable and then it’s prepared to perfection. They are good at getting your money, as you work through the "fish market", then to the "wine and beer market" finally end up at the cocktail bar, even before sitting. But, in all honesty, it was worth the experience. Every dish we tried was exceptional, and the flavors were vibrant, balanced, and simply unforgettable. My only criticism was that once you were at your table, you had a multitude of servers, and quite frankly, just felt like "another table". Putting that small critique aside, Pesca is a must-visit if you love seafood!
Gord P — Google review
Pesca Amsterdam; a new seafood experience! This joint is not your ordinary seafood restaurant; it’s a full-blown theatrical experience, a place where dining becomes performance, and the star of the show is always the freshest catch of the day. Situated in the lively Jordaan neighborhood, Pesca has carved out a reputation as one of Amsterdam’s most unique and engaging dining destinations, blending creativity, sustainability, and hospitality into an outstanding night to remember. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted not by a standard menu, but by Pesca’s “Fish Market” display. This vibrant counter showcases the day’s selection of fish and shellfish on ice, sourced responsibly and with seasonality in mind. Staff guide you through the options (hostess will give you detailed instructions) and the fish monger will describe the origins, flavor profiles, and preparation methods for each fish you choose. Instead of simply ordering, you feel like a collaborator in the process, choosing your fish as if you were at a bustling market, before handing it off to their talented kitchen team. This interactive beginning sets a fun tone: Pesca is playful, immersive, and refreshingly different. Once you’ve chosen your filets, clams, and oysters, the experience continues at the “Wine Market.” Here, the same flair applies, as you browse through a carefully curated selection of wines. Staff offer pairings based on your fish choices, ensuring every sip enhances the flavors on the plate. The sense of engagement is what sets Pesca apart with every decision feeling personal and meaningful, and the staff manage to make it very fun rather than very fussy. The food itself lives up to the spectacle. The preparations are simple but masterful, allowing the natural freshness of the seafood to shine. King prawns come smoky and rich, with just enough char to contrast their sweetness. Mussels, clams, and oysters are served with finesse, brimming with briny character. Sauces and sides lean Mediterranean, with olive oil, herbs, and seasonal vegetables tying everything together without ever overwhelming the main attraction of the choices of fish you earlier made. What makes Pesca especially impressive is its commitment to sustainability. The team takes pride in reducing food waste, working with suppliers who prioritize ethical fishing, and ensuring the fish isn’t just a gimmick but a way to connect diners to the story of their food. This thoughtful approach feels authentic, not preachy, and adds depth to the entire experience. The atmosphere deserves mention too. The restaurant is lively, buzzing with energy. Long communal tables and open layouts encourage conversation, while clever lighting and a relaxed design keep things comfortable. Pesca is not the cheapest meal in Amsterdam, but it’s worth every euro for the experience it delivers. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines fun, freshness, sustainability, and excellence without losing sight of hospitality. The short of it: You walk in, talk with the hostess, go to the fish market, select your desired fish or clams or lobster (you can ask what the cost will be after selecting everything), then go to the wine market to order a bottle (or your individual drinks as you like), then you wait to be seated. Once seated you are given bread and your fish and can order more if desired. Fantastic experience: highly recommend!

Unique but inefficient concept. There's a front counter where you can pick out your entire meal, and this is the first step. Staff were really helpful and informative, though the dishes were a bit hit or miss. Oysters, hamachi, scallops and octopus were quite good. The "pickled salmon" was incredibly bland, as was the whole grilled fish, finished with a picante style sauce? Overall a cool dining experience but not something worth repeating.
Stephen F — Google review
What a unique experience - absolutely worth a visit. I would skip the scallops, but the soft shelled crab crab and schol were amazing. Hamachi was probably the best bite of the evening

Cannibale Royale has become a popular choice in Amsterdam, with five locations across the city. The original Handboogstraat location offers well-cooked beef dishes like the 200g bavette and the 300g flat iron. However, some diners wish that the meat was seasoned before cooking for better flavor.
Such a great place! The ONLY place we found in the area where they still were serving food past 11pm (23:00). Highly recommend! Mark it as there is NO place that serves food that late! And everything was delicious (a gem for a meat lovers)! 10/10! There was a bit of a delay with drinks and food for everybody as they were SO busy (and it’s understandable regarding the delay). The place was packed at midnight. Interesting eclectic interior, they played cool music too. Loved everything about this restaurant. A lot of locals and it is always a sign i am looking for when traveling ;) our server Ivo was so busy and still was friendly, professional and attentive! Will be back for sure when in Amsterdam next time. I also liked that they have suggestions for beer/wine in the menu next to a position you choose. Great cocktail menu too.

This restaurant is definitely easy to miss—hidden in plain sight—but once you find it, it has a quirky charm and a cozy, intimate vibe that sets it apart. We ordered the ribs, which were tender and had a subtle, smoky flavor—not overpowering, which I actually liked. That said, the portion size was a letdown. Both of our plates came out noticeably smaller than what’s pictured online… and even smaller than what the table next to us received. A little consistency and quality control would go a long way here. We also tried the lobster tail. While nicely cooked, it felt underwhelming for the price. The menu says 140g, but it looked and felt like less—hard to say, but it didn’t quite meet expectations. They accept split bills if you come with friends. Overall, there’s potential here. The food tastes good, the ambiance is charming, but they need to work on delivering what’s promised—especially when it comes to portions.

We had the caesar chicken sandwich and the cheese steak sandwich, and both were very good. The chicken sandwich had a really nice sauce, and the cheese steak was tasty, but it could have had a bit more meat. Portions of fries are quite large; one portion would have been more than enough for the two of us. The cheesecake was okay, but we didn’t enjoy the base. Service was friendly, and the decor is different and interesting. I would come back for dinner for sure.

All around an awesome stop. I have the classic burger and it had so much flavor. It was a great piece of meat. The staff was super kind and the bar tender was awesome. He was very go lucky and outgoing to everyone. The atmosphere of the place is pretty chill/social. Darker with music playing. Awesome decor with vintage style pictures all over the wall. Definitely worth a stop

Cauliflower steak was surprisingly good for me as a non vegetarian, steak was tender with good flavour (medium rare shown in the picture) and reasonable price in Amsterdam but lack of crust. Good environment but slightly packful and noisy, service I give 4/5 because they broke a glass in front of me luckily no one get hurt. Overall, good food and dining experience.

A very funky spot inside, and a kind of “funky” space outside. Inside very eclectic, outside, unfortunately there is a bunch of say 8-10 overflowing garbage bins immediately across from the outside dining tables, not exactly ideal for eating. We chose to eat inside. The food was very good, the service was spotty, the environment was a treat for the senses.

We had an incredible experience at Cannibale Royale Handboogstraat. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We had booked a couple of months in advance to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and the communication with the staff via email beforehand was excellent. The restaurant itself is very cozy and atmospheric, perfect for a special occasion. As for the food—it was absolutely phenomenal. We tried the short ribs, Cannibale Royale’s favorite ribs, the tomahawk steak, and the chicken wings. Every single dish was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and of superb quality. It’s hard to describe just how delicious everything was—you really have to experience it for yourself. Highly recommended and truly a must-visit in Amsterdam!

This popular spot in de Pijp infuses Kiwi and Brazilian influences into their menu, featuring dishes like eggs benny, New Zealand-style full English breakfast, Navajo eggs, and huevos rancheros.
The food was delicious and it's the best coffee I've had in this neighbourhood! I don't eat beef or pork, so they swapped the pork in my eggs Benedict with extra avocado. The ingredients were fresh, the flavours were amazing and the flavour pairings from the Brazilian and Kiwi cultures were incredible. One of my favourites! The staff was super nice. Even though they're reservation system was temporarily down, and I had to wait for 45 minutes before I could find a table, the staff was super nice and offered me a spot to relax in the waiting area. They also helped me with my luggage. Great experience in general, totally recommend it for brunches and breakfasts!

Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. The dishes lacked flavor, presentation, and overall quality — which was very unexpected. The bread was cut too thick and had no taste, it wasn’t toasted or spread with butter. Adding simple touches such as garlic butter, cheese sauce, or other flavor elements could make a big difference. All three dishes we ordered were completely bland. These days, it’s easy to find inspiration online for improving flavor and presentation, and I believe there is definitely room for improvement.

We had a tasty brunch here on a Sunday morning. My only wish was that the wait list system worked because I tried to join the wait list as we were walking there and it wasn't working... Of course we arrived and the place was full so we could only add ourselves once we got there. This meant that we could only get bar seats which was a bit tight for space. Aside from the seating situation the food itself was great. We got the Navajo Eggs and the Huevos Rancheros. Both were delicious and had a good balance of fresh ingredients with savoury elements.

Since 1975, Lucius has been a favorite among locals and visitors alike for its fresh seafood offerings. The restaurant's charming ambiance features exquisite white tiles and an impressive fish tank.
At first we went to the other famous restaurant nearby, but it fully booked, the manager said they also go here to buy fish, so recommend us to eat here. The bread with butter excellent, following dishes is amazing. Would say better than other hot seafood places. Very tidy and clean place, cute beautiful fish tank.

Our first meal in Amsterdam was a delightful experience. After checking into our hotel, we sought the concierge’s recommendation for a nearby restaurant that served Dutch or seafood. As a foodie, I always relish trying local cuisine when possible. However, tonight, we had a craving for some fresh fish. The restaurant was conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from our hotel. As the night grew darker, the ambiance of Amsterdam transformed into a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We had made a reservation for 8 pm and arrived promptly. Upon settling in, our waiter promptly presented us with the drinks menu, which was a refreshing departure from our usual experience of receiving everything at once or a single menu encompassing both drinks and food. The food arrived hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. While I enjoyed the prawns, I felt that they could benefit from a bit more seasoning to enhance their taste. Despite this minor oversight, the overall meal was satisfying. The soles were a standout, with both large and small portions offering a delightful experience when accompanied by butter. The side dishes were expertly prepared and complemented the main course perfectly. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant. Not only does it offer a delightful dining experience, but the service is also commendable and friendly.

If you are a seafood lover, come here! Although the Irish oysters were average, the lobster bisque was above average and then the grilled fish was so over the top good, that I give Lucius a 5 star rating. The tuna , salmon , prawns and baby sole were perfectly prepared to be tender and delicious without the aid of any sauce necessary. I highly recommend Lucius, especially for the fish.

Despite expanding internationally to Ibiza and Berlin, the original location remains a cool hangout spot with a secret invite-only cocktail lounge. The establishment may appear as a classic burger bar at first glance, but it also houses a hidden cocktail bar that requires a password for entry.
An excellent chain burger restaurant with a bar in the back. You won’t be amazed by the burger but you will certainly be satisfied. It is done just right. The meat is excellent and aged, it is grilled on two levels with the patty slowly smoking on the top level as the burger is constructed. The meat is cooked perfect medium rare and is perfectly seasoned, the bread is nicely grilled, the vegetables are fresh and crunchy, the sauce is not invasive and complements the meat perfectly. Lovely, good, reliable. Recommended.

This place has something for everyone: from burgers, to fish, to snacks and a big selection of drinks. I decided to go for the classic burger and accompany it with some chicken bites, fries and mozzarella sticks. At first I thought the price was elevated, however when the food arrived, it was quite a good amount for what you pay. I enjoyed the meal overall and the service was quite attentive and kind. The only thing is that do keep in mind that there is a restaurant where you can eat more privately and calmly. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back from time to time.

A cute bar and lovely food! The plant base burger was delicious. The only downside was I expected French Fries instead of thick cut chips. I do think that it’s a bit on the expensive side as I paid €18 for a burger and chips! But the atmosphere is cool and it stays open till 12am so it’s a cool spot to go after a couple drinks.

I've eaten there before, and the burger is very good, which is exactly why I went back. But this time I was mistreated and couldn't eat my burger, even though I arrived during opening hours.

Absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! We went for our anniversary dinner last night and were blown away… from the food and its beautiful presentation to the atmosphere, but most of all, the service. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, recommending dishes and making us feel truly looked after. We chose the chef’s menu and were treated to some bold and delicious flavor combinations To list a few, fish with grapes and for dessert: corn ice cream, popcorn, and caramel! (Told you it was bold) but absolutely delicious If you enjoy fish, this is definitely the place to go. We’ll absolutely be coming back! If I had one tiny comment, it’s that I wish the portions were just a bit bigger. We didn’t leave hungry, but a little more of everything would’ve been perfect, though maybe smaller portions are part of the concept? Maybe

A special treat, as usual, to visit Visaandeschelde and enjoy their quality food, service and pleasant ambiance. You get what you pay for and it is most certainly worth it. The weather was great and we could sit outside: which is even better as inside it can sometimes get rather noisy as the sound bounces of the walls and ceiling amplifying the noise................ As we live outside the city in a different town we usually come by car, and it is so convenient to get of the highway and park easily - albeit at a ridiculous price per hour, set by the City of Amsterdam ofcourse. Looking forward to our next visit.

The seafood here is very good & fresh, however, the service is very cold, making you feel merely like a number...get 'em in, get 'em out.

Still, the seafood is awesome and the reason we came while in Amsterdam.

Nice restaurant with great views of Amsterdam city across and the sea. However location was not very accessible so wouldn’t recommended coming here unless you have a car (it’s a 30-40 min walk from the nearest station). The restaurant specializes in seafood but we thought they were just ok - nothing impressive. Ordered lobster bisque but the soup was watery and not the rich creamy bisque we were expecting. For the mussels pot, the flavors were lacking and some mussels were not that fresh as well. Price is also on the steep side though service was excellent.

Great friendly staff, great view, great vibe to the place (I think it's an old warehouse), but most importantly great food. I had the warm shellfish platter and my, it was good. My mistake was not ordering bread to soak up all that delicious sauce! There's a great view of the river and the Centraal station, which I can imagine is great during the day (I went for dinner). Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and attentive, definitely made the experience even better. Only slight negative is the location; you wonder if you've gone to the wrong place as it feels like it's in an ex industrial area.

Nestled in the charming Jordaan district of Amsterdam, The Good Companion is a delightful British-style fish and chips shop that stands out from the crowd. While traditional fish and chips are certainly on the menu, this eatery takes it up a notch by offering an array of battered seafood options alongside hearty accompaniments like thick-cut chips and mushy peas. But that's not all—guests can also indulge in lighter fare such as soups, salads, and tempura vegetables.
Cozy restaurant, Excellent service and Outstanding Food and Drinks! Where do I begin? I sat down and started my experience with a Negroni. It was by far the best one I have ever had - just perfect. For food first with the small plate of Vongole. The sauce was so amazing. I had to request bread so that I could savor the taste. For main course I chose the Red Bream filet with fennel and apple. And completed my dining experience with chocolate cremeux! I was not disappointed.

The fried potato cubes were flavorful, but a few were overcooked and too hard to enjoy. Unfortunately, several clams had noticeable sand, which affected the overall experience and didn’t quite meet my expectations.

The starter was nice, we ordered the seacuteries with some bread. But after that came a long wait for the main dishes. The sea bass was delicious but the mussels had a whole story coming along with it. The waitress on her way serving the dish, dropped a few mussels out of the dish, right in front of our eyes, but not saying sorry or have any reaction to it. The mussels themselves were not hot at all. We also ordered asparagus as a side dish, and what a ridiculous price, 8.5 euros for like, what, 6 pieces of asparagus??? So yeah, definitely will not come back and also not recommend!

Fabel Friet is a laid-back spot known for its delicious fried potatoes and croquettes, topped with locally sourced and homemade ingredients. The fries are perfectly cooked and come with mouth-watering toppings like truffle mayo and parmesan. While the wait time on weekdays is short, weekends can get very busy. There's no seating area, so it's important to be considerate of nearby businesses and residents when enjoying your fries.
Quite possibly one of the best things I’ve eaten in my life. These fries seriously are the best. We went back the next day for more only because we thought it would too much to back for seconds on the first night! Truffle Mayo w/ Parmesan for me and curry ketchup for my love. So good! Note there is no where to sit. We walked over to the canal and stood to eat but I am not complaining. It was all wonderful. Watch for the gulls as they like them too.

The line was fairly long but organized well. We ordered fries with regular mayo, parmesan cheese, and chopped onion. It was quite tasty! It tasted just as expected, and the fries themselves were really good. Would definitely buy again if they sold in my country. There are no tables or chairs to sit on, so choose a good day where you can sit and enjoy them by the canal.

Now the question is, was it worth it? Answer: Yes, 💯%. Cheesy Chips with Mayonnaise is a delicacy in Amsterdam. It’s sold in many different ways, in many different areas. As social media normally does, it makes one bigger than the other. Fabel Friet is one the most common. The queue wasn’t too long and the service is quick. They don’t mess about. This area can get very busy so pick your moment. The food, was, delicious. Definitely worth the wait and definitely worth a try. The only thing I would say is the corridor is very narrow getting in and out. A great little find. Thank you 💫

Super simple menu here, mainly known for their fries but have some other smaller items such as croquettes! Of course you have to get the fries! I had truffle mayo as the sauce choice and they had a ton of cheese on top. So good and such a yummy snack during the day. They get a very long line so be prepared. It’s all take out, no seating. Must try!!

It’s a very famous online fries restaurant, but to be honest, I did find the specialty. Firstly, you have to wait outside even near the river on the bridge, then you can order in the counter, there is no any seats inside, so just buy and take away. Secondly, almost all the shops nearby put the signboards said please do not stand and eat in front of the shops. Which means you have to take the fries and go bit far to find a place to eat it. Thirdly, it’s just very normal taste, personally don’t think it deserves the queuing and waiting.

Amazing fries! We absolutely loved them! The spicy cheddar fries were a bit too spicy for our taste, but that’s just personal preference. The truffle fries, on the other hand, were so delicious. The only downside is that you have to eat outside, and finding a bench or a spot to sit is a bit of a struggle
Alesya R — Google review
The fries are good, but pretty average fries with truffle mayo sauce and parm. Bonus points for it being hot, having a bit of crisp, and fresh. Other than that it’s just normal fries once you finish the top layer with all the toppings. There is also no place to eat it and they have security guards in front shooting you away from their store with your fries. They didn’t provide any napkins as well and it got so messy. Not the best atmosphere and service.

Really delicious! We got the fires with truffle mayo and Parmesan. The wait was about 15 min and the line moved fast. The fries were good but not our favorite - we also tried the beef croquette which was okay.

Brut de Mer is a delightful oyster and wine bar that transports you straight to the sun-kissed shores of the Cote d'Azur, all while nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of De Pijp in Amsterdam. This charming eatery specializes in fresh oysters and offers an enticing array of seafood dishes, perfect for sharing with friends. The sidewalk dining experience adds to its allure, allowing guests to soak up the lively atmosphere while enjoying expertly paired wines and bubbles.
If you’re on the hunt for top-notch seafood in Amsterdam, Brut de Mer is a gem you don’t want to miss! Their oyster selection is truly impressive, with six different types to explore, each more delicate and fresh than the last. Pairing them with one of their many crisp white wines or a glass of cava is a must—it elevates the whole experience. Moving on to the mains, the roasted razor clams and sautéed white clams were spot on. The flavors were bold but balanced, and the texture was just perfect. The calamari, though, might be the hidden hero—it’s probably the best I’ve had in Amsterdam. It’s got that tender, melt-in-your-mouth quality and comes with a sauce that’s so rich and flavorful that you’ll be wiping the plate clean. Then came the egg with caviar, and wow—it’s a dish to remember. Luxurious, silky, and full of flavor, it felt like a little celebration of everything you could want in a seafood meal. The salad dishes were fresh and light, acting as the perfect counterbalance to the richness of the seafood. The prices are admittedly on the steep side, but for a special occasion, Brut de Mer feels absolutely worth it. Plus, the friendly and attentive staff really add to the vibe, making the whole experience feel like a treat. If you’re looking to indulge, this spot will hit all the right notes!

What an absolutely wonderful place! Brut de Mer offers a continuously changing seafood menu, depending on what is freshly available on the market at the moment. The chef shows personal interest to check if everything is to your liking. The enthusiastic staff works hard to find good wine pairings with your dishes. I tasted some very good wine! I ordered the pulpo with Kimchi and the Dutch (IJselmeer) smoked eel with apple syrup. Especially the eel was amazing, what a great combination of flavors. I will definitely be coming back to this small and cozy restaurant that is serving great food, without any pretense.

Great Spot, Product on point good tapas portions easy to share even the Pasta Vongole, so good got to try most of the items on the menu. Mussels with gorgonzola sauce was out of this world! The fresh Portuguese shrimp, tasted the same way it did when i tried it in Lisbon extremely Juicy, Sweet and a tad smoky. And the dutch Oysters extremely nice small a bit salty but on point with the salt it hit the spot! Cleansed with there Home made Beer, very refreshing

Oyster, super tasty and fresh, but a bit pricey. Kimchi octopus, unique and delicious. Soft shell crabs, creamy and flavorful. Fries, it’s just fries. Razor clams, a bit overcooked and dried. Great atmosphere, and friendly service! Will definitely come back.

If you don’t mind a lot of issues with service and you enjoy a good oyster - tapas bar I highly recommend trying Brut de Mer. Pros - everything we ate was phenomenal. The 12 oyster tasting was well shucked and the six different oysters we got to try were all delicious and unique and their preparation of boquerones was fresh and well seasoned. Similarly, their foie gras tapas plate and sweetbreads with shrimp were beyond reproach. I can also say the Scrappinos to drink were really solid if not just a little runny. However, the service was probably the worst I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Our original waiter came by pretty quick to take our order, however, he literally forgot to actually put in 1/2 of our order. It took +30 minutes to get a bottle of water for the table (we had to ask 2x after our cocktails and oysters arrived). Similarly, after multiple other tables who ordered after us received their entrees we found out our entire hot order had not been put in and so it took more than an hour after sitting to get something to eat after our oysters (which took around 30 minutes) On that note, our first waiter essentially disappeared after taking our order and we had to grab another waiter who clearly wasn’t in our area to actually put our hot order in… On top of that, when our second waiter came by to ask for final calls we put in another food order, we put in one last thing (we had been hoping to try multiple tapas plates but given how long the first hot plates took we literally only had last call to try more). 45 minutes later as the servers began cleaning out the bar and turning chairs over it was incredibly clear they forgot to put our last call in. On the positive side of poor service, they also gave us another tables glass of cava at one point and we saw them flag the server around 15 minutes later with the same frustration in where their drink was. Overall, I would probably eat here again so take that as you will about how amazing the food is. But I would definitely sit at the bar, order one thing at a time and make sure your orders are getting put into the POS system. We left hungry and wanting to try more and we felt frustrated that we were being ignored during our 1 1/2 hours at the restaurant..

Orontes De Pijp is a trendy spot that offers a delightful experience, from enjoying coffee and lunch to taking home some Turkish delicacies. The restaurant serves flavorful dishes, with appetizers that are a delicious mix of dips and breads. The main dishes, such as well-seasoned and perfectly grilled chicken with various side dishes, are definitely worth the wait.
I came to Orontes with a big group of friends and we had the best time here. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We got a mix of vegetarian, meat, and fish dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meals and emptied their plates. We felt like home here and really enjoyed our conversations with the staff. Thank you to the Orontes team for ensuring we enjoy to the fullest and making this experience so pleasant. It is not always so easy to book for a large group, really appreciate the ease with this reservation.

Everything was very delicious overall. We actually enjoyed the main courses much more than the mezes we absolutely loved them! I’ve been walking past this place every day for the past three years, and today was the first time I got to try it. The fact that the music was Turkish made me really happy. We arrived a bit early, so it was quiet at first, but later it got crowded and a bit noisy inside. The staff were friendly, and the place was clean and nicely decorated. Thank you we’ll be visiting often! The only thing that disappointed me was that there was no tea. Also, they said the wait time for the künefe would be 20–25 minutes, which felt quite long. But as I said, overall, it was a successful and tasty experience.

We were quite full by the end of the dinner. There few astounding dishes that i can recommend you: Voorgerecht that are awesome were Yogurt with Spinach and the cheesey mushroom. Main dishes that i took was Beygci, was great! I recommend take the mixed grill tho. Was great. Atmosphere was gezellig. Service quiet on time also. Price indeed was on higher side but still quite worth it. Oh, dont get the salmon. Portion was too small compared to the rest. And please please get the KUNEFEH! It was our highlight

This restaurant is as authentic as it comes. It came recommended by a local resident. The food tasted very good. I like the fact that all the dishes (grilled fish, hummus, lamb chops, grilled ground meat) were not overly seasoned. They were fresh as well. They had homemade baklava which had the crunchy and airy texture, and not too sweet.

Café de Tuin, located in the Jordaan district of Amsterdam, is a popular spot among locals for its affordable lunch options and traditional Dutch pub atmosphere. The cafe offers hearty sandwiches, great coffee, and delicious bar snacks like crispy bitterballen served with olives, cheese, and bread. Known for its simple yet tasty menu and a wide selection of lager, ale, and IPA, this typical Dutch brown cafe is a beloved watering hole in the area.
On a mission to experience bitterballen we headed here, thank goodness! An amazing selection of beer on tap, and the bitterballen which were very good. We also ordered french fries, I always rate these out of 10, a 7 in this instance, still not bad. We had a few other selections from the menu, spicier but well done. Not to be missed if in Amsterdam!

Nice fries but terrible service. Me and my friend were feeling like getting some fries but were not very hungry. So we both wanted a small portion. When my friend ordered his, the guy behind the counter turned it into a medium portion, costing nearly double the price, I tried to help my friend but the man behind the counter wasn't listening. When I told him I wanted a small portion myself, he said it was a kids portion, and when I said no, it says small portion on the menu, he started asking if I didn't have enough money for a bigger portion. This was extremely offensive as I just wanted a small portion as I wasn't hungry. The guy kept on being disrespectful and joking about the small portion while making the fries for us. In the end my friend couldn't even finish his fries because it was too much for him. Really just a bad experience, will never return here.

Ok… where do i start. Firstly DO NOT EAT here. The food was cold and disgusting and when i noticed i got the wrong order and called it out, the man behind the counter dimply made a sensual jerking motion with his hand towards me. Speaking of the man behind the counter. His unkempt appearance and foul odour made me question if he was actually a worker or a random homeless man who wandered in to the establishment. When i was done and preparing to leave the man whispered to his colleagues and looked at me while gesturing a fondling motion of the breasts (i am a male) which made me feel uncomfortable. NEVER going back.

Okay, so the food was very good and didn't take long. However service is horrible, no menus, nothing which makes it very hard for people who never been there before. We asked for a menu and some guy just pointed at the TV advertising the food so we had to stand and watch for a few minutes. Atmosphere is no different than a cheap diner, but I guess most people don't dine in so it's alright. Overall decent food and bad service.

One of the top brown cafe in Amsterdam Even though it’s only a block off Rozengracht, a busy road, it feels tucked away in a quiet neighborhood which it technically is. It has a great old pub feel - dark interior, a very authentic ‘brown cafe’ with tons of memorabilia and billiards table right in the middle. Not very big, so lots of people congregate outside. Sits on a corner which is always the best. I enjoyed a couple of IPAs. The only late food available was bitterballan. I’m a little bitterballened out so my five star ‘food’ review reflects the delicious beer and atmosphere! That’s all for now.

Restaurant Visque, located near Vondelpark, is a fish restaurant and oyster bar founded by brothers Menno and Bastiaan Beijer. The menu features Franco-inspired seafood and fish dishes like scallops, sole, and tuna wellington. The daily changing menu combines French culinary traditions with a surprising twist, offering fresh and delicious fish dishes prepared with passion and craftsmanship. The dining experience at Visque promises excellent food, top-notch service, and a particular love for seafood.
One of the best dinners we’ve ever had, with each of the five starters we had blowing our minds with every bite. We couldn’t pick a favorite out of the divine lobster bisque, the scallops with rendang, the langoustine with zucchini and hollandaise, and the hamachi crudo - they all provided an explosion of flavors. The tuna carpaccio was excellent as well, but we’d recommend picking one of the other more unique combinations. As mains, we tried the famous tuna wellington - it lived up to the hype! The service was friendly and the atmosphere great. Don’t miss this spot in Amsterdam!

Visited this place and was extremely disappointed. When I arrived, there were only two free tables. I immediately pointed to one, but the waiter, with a smug attitude, deliberately stared at the seating chart for a long time. When I said I wanted that table, he cut me off with “wait, I’m looking.” Seating was unnecessarily delayed without any visible reason. I ordered mineral water, a ribeye steak, dessert, and tea. The serving sequence was completely wrong: first came the water, then tea (!), then the steak, and finally dessert — by which time the tea was already cold. The ribeye steak was suspiciously thin, far from the standard cut, which resulted in mediocre doneness. The dessert was a cheap chocolate mousse with vegetable fats and a strong margarine aftertaste. By the time I finished eating, the restaurant was almost empty — proving that in the beginning there was no objective reason for the delayed seating, other than the waiter showing off a false sense of “importance.” Overall, the place tries to appear like a proper restaurant, but in terms of service and food quality it’s just a diner with inflated prices thanks to a convenient location.

Cafe
Café Het Molenpad, located on the Prinsengracht, has undergone a transformation from an old-fashioned brown bar to a modern establishment with a fabulous terrace. The interior boasts sleek black decor, a granite bar, and striking wall letters. This Parisian-inspired café offers traditional Dutch snacks and local beers alongside French classics like croque madame and Champagne. Visitors can enjoy the polite staff, affordable prices for food and drinks, and a relaxing canal-side experience.
Nice quiet place to relax beside the canal and enjoy a good summer day. The bitterballen was delicious! Also had a first taste of a local beer Eeuwige Jeugd Bullebak which is very refreshing

Such a great spot right downstairs! Whether it’s for a morning coffee, a quick bite, or a beer in the evening, they always deliver.The whole team is always so friendly and welcoming. Special thanks today to Sjoerd for the amazing coffee 🙌 he’s always super friendly and makes you feel right at home. Thanks also to Stan and the rest of the team as well you all make this place such a cozy and inviting spot to come back to again and again!

While sun had been shining the atmosphere was amazing. Drinks were also well made. Just the service wasn’t aware of what was going on. It took really long time to get their attention (if I even got it) and order some more drinks. Only one good point on their inattentiveness was that I didn’t spend so much money.

Cute place. Absolutely horrible service. The staff went out of their way to be rude to us. Dirty table, No eye contact for quite a while. Slamming dishes. I asked for a gin martini and the whole staff had to have a conference because they literally didn't know how to make one. I just ended up with gin over the rocks. Asked for the table to be clean because it was dirty and the bartender wet it down so much it was still swimming with water when we left. My husband was handed a menu with fish bones in it. They did not give us any napkins. Decided not to eat there. So rude.

We ate lunch there and nobody else was there to start with but more people had arrived when we departed. Food was very nice, we had vegetarian options and these were delicious. Service was quick and attentive. Recommended.

Great place by the canal in Amsterdam, in a quiet street. I had the tomato soup it was very good. Also good sandwiches and the service was great (can't remember the waitress name!!)
Juan S — Google review
This is a nice spot for a drink and a bite to eat. Nothing out of the ordinary, though as others have said the croque monsieur/madame is very good. The rest is your classic Dutch bar snacks and it was all very nice. Found the staff to be friendly and welcoming though they lose a star for forgetting an item from our order but still including it on our bill. Other than that I'd come here again

Atmosphere? Immaculate. Cozy enough to lose track of time and accidentally spend your entire afternoon. Drinks? Amazing, every cocktail I’ve had here has made me question why I ever settle for mediocre elsewhere. Food? Equally great, and I’m still thinking about that Gyoza. And the staff?? Best part. Everyone is super friendly and helpful, but special shoutout to Stan and Eugenie, absolute sweethearts who somehow make you feel like a valued customer. They’re the reason this place feels like a second home. Protect them at all costs. Nothing but love ♥

Seafood restaurant
Restaurant Barracuda in Amsterdam is the latest venture from the chef of Chateau Amsterdam winery, offering a focus on fish and wine. The cozy bar in a converted warehouse with an industrial design sets the scene for a unique dining experience. With no reservations required, guests can simply select their food and drinks from the menu, order at the bar, and pay immediately.
Amazing food! In short: The food is divine, you laugh, you drink well, and you’ll definitely come back. 🤩 this is what I do. Top marks, no doubt about it. Generous portions, beautifully presented dishes, but without those over the top “fake fancy” touches. Here, you eat seriously good food, no unnecessary frills. The staff is friendly and cheerful, making you feel right at home. And the prices? Fair, especially considering the top notch quality of the seafood.
Eleonora C — Google review
I love this place, one of my fav places in Amsterdam. The quality of the fish and seafood is high and they know how to cook it, simple, traditional but get the best out of the product. It is also a really nice space, service is fast, ordering is simple, price is reasonable considering where we are… totally worth it, a place I keep coming back to.
Martiño P — Google review
I had a nice dinner at Barracuda Restaurant. The seafood was fresh and well prepared, and the staff were friendly. The terrace is a great spot to sit, also suitable for families with children. They use a unique way of ordering, which made the experience more fun. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was good. I would definitely recommend this place for a casual and enjoyable meal.

Excellent seafood in a nice atmosphere! I guess I had the best crab legs in my life. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. We ordered Turbot and it was cooked on point. The variety of vine is also very rich. Stuff is also very friendly. I’m definitely visiting here next time in Amsterdam.

Excellent seafood and fish restaurant with a very interesting concept for service (they have the cutest robot!). Fresh produce, delivered fast to the table, relaxed atmosphere and good wines. Will definitely come back.
Simona C — Google review
What a great surprise! I was expecting a meat restaurant (because of the name, after all, barracudas live deep in the mountains at high altitude), but they turned out to serve seafood. And it was great! I would suggest renaming the place after a fish or something more fitting, but other than that, we loved it!
Still R — Google review
Good food with unprofessional service experience… Although we had reserved in advanced for 12 people, and confirmed an hour ago, we had been waited almost half an hour at the bar. We chose group menu, but the portions were not enough, and most of the people were hungry at the end of the night. The taste of the food is good in general, and fresh. The wine menu has a lot of options but not very good quality wine are on the menu. However that is acceptable for an average restaurant. The prices are affordable and the vibe is different.

Such a great vibe here with friendly staff. Of course the stars of the place is the fantastic array of seafood. The pulpo salad is a must try!

Fast food restaurant
Febo is a popular chain of auto vending machines that are known for accepting card payments, including Visa. However, some locations may experience low stock at times. Despite this, the service is generally friendly and efficient. The Kaassouffle is particularly well-received and lives up to its reputation. It's not uncommon to see pigeons enjoying a meal alongside customers.
Febo is a must try experience if you’re visiting Amsterdam. They have vending style machines were you can buy individual items or you can order from a machine near the counter or even at the counter. It’s very much fast food but it’s tasty. The cheese pocket things are unbelievably good. If you’re on a budget visiting Amsterdam, you could probably visit for lunch and dinner.

Looks like a local fast food chain, I’ve tried the cheese burger and a vanilla milkshake, they were ok. I’ve tired this beef kroketten, I didn’t like it much. Funny story, this big bird was standing in front of the door and just kept looking at the restaurant. I’ve asked the worker here and he said this bird comes here everyday for food.

Great concept, you just tap your card and press on a button to get the food you want. Just keep in mind that they only accept card. The food and prices are okay. Really messy store during the nights and it litters down the whole neighbourhood.

Delivery Restaurant
Bitterballen Amsterdam offers delicious breaded balls filled with gravy, served with mustard and perfect for pairing with craft beers from the Netherlands. The place has a mix of street food and fine dining ambiance, making it a great stop for tasty bites. The owner's warm hospitality creates an inviting atmosphere filled with joy and positivity. With various types of bitterballen and other tasty snacks available, it's the perfect spot to enjoy these treats in a comfortable setting with a glass of bubbles or beer.
Lovely little restaurant right in the centre, tucked away in a cute little street. Highly recommend going here for a beer and the bitterballen tasting selection. My favourite was the beef and my partner loved the veal. Would happily come back here again!
Laura S — Google review
What a great spot to enjoy some homemade bitterballen! We tried the “Sharing is caring” bitterballen tasting, the Pomme Frites, cheese sticks, and the Bittergarnituux Mix along with some wine. Everything was delicious! Our favourites were the vegan and beef bitterballen, the cheese sticks and bami, which is, apparently, one of the least favourites to the Dutch. It has a light curry flavour which we do enjoy and the texture of the noodles was really quite yummy. If you don’t like a curry flavour, then there’s others you’d be better to trying. The service we received was amazing - very warm and friendly and it’s a really great vibe in the restaurant. They have some outdoor seating and we noticed that the kitchen, which is open to be seen to the dining area, was pristine. Despite the food being fried, you don’t have that fried oil smell typical of restaurants who don’t change their fry oil as often as they should so we know everything was as well kept as it looked. Prices were VERY reasonable for the service, atmosphere and quality you receive. We walked in before the rush but reservations are recommended as they got very busy and you don’t want to miss out!

My wife and I are from the US and we visited the Netherlands back in September 2024. We were looking for a relaxing and delicious Dutch lunch at a fair price, and this place delivered that for us! We ordered the Sharing is Caring Bitterballen Tasting, which includes 4 beef, 4 veal, and 4 vegan. We also ordered the fries with black truffle mayo and some sparkling water. This place deserves all the great reviews!
Grant P — Google review
First time I have tried bitterballen and didn’t know what to expect. They had a very crunchy coating and soft thick centre. We loved that they had a vegan option. It tasted quite meaty, and like thick stock. Not sure they are my favourite but good to try and glad I had them here. The cheese sticks were amazing!! Super crunchy outside and gooey inside, the olives were also very tasty. The staff were nice and helpful with helping choose what to order.

Amazing place and amazing stuff! We came here for the reviews and uau, did not disappoint. On a Sunday at 14:30 the restaurant was quite empty so we had a really cosy stay. We had the taste of the bitterballen (the beef one was the best). And the potatoes with the black truffle mayo ese 🤌🏻 Highly recommend ✨✨

This place is truly wonderful! The owner's boundless energy and warm hospitality create an incredibly inviting atmosphere. The moment you walk through the door, you are immediately embraced by a sense of joy and positivity. It's contagious, and you can't help but be drawn into the uplifting ambiance. The positive vibes are infectious, and you can't help but be influenced by the uplifting spirit in the air. It's not just the delicious food or beautiful decor that makes this place special, but the owner's passion and dedication to creating a memorable and happy environment for all who visit.

If I could, I would come back tomorrow! And I say this because after trying it for the first time on Saturday Evening we went back the day after for the Sunday Lunch (our last one in the beautiful Amsterdam) 💔. The place: 10/10. So chic, cozy and lovely. The food: SOOO GOOD AND TASTY! We had all kind of Bitterballen and their french fries, so yummy 😋 Each of them is my fave. Rutger, the owner, is magic! A funny person, so kind and nice. We really liked talking with him, also because we share a passion: Italy & Bitterballen! I hope to come back here very very soon. Nicest place to come try a Amsterdam must try. Also, price / quality is 10/10. Grazie mille! Un saluto da Daniela & Tommaso

Why I gave this place 5 starts across the board? 1) Food: I’ve never ordered a second plate despite being full. The veal was that good! 2) Service: Excellent from all the staff to the owner Roger….with attention to every detail 3) Atmosphere: Quaint, clean, authentic and beautiful!

Nestled on the charming Bosboom Toussaintstraat, Le Forel is a delightful fish bar that exudes the ambiance of a Parisian bistro with its inviting red awning and quaint round tables. This culinary gem offers an impressive menu featuring both classic French dishes like lobster bisque and innovative creations such as scallops paired with coconut hollandaise. Each dish showcases farm-fresh seafood, ensuring quality in every bite.
Absolutely delicious seafood! Loved my fried sardines dish, local cat really enjoyed it too ;) It is a bit pricey but we will definitely go back!

Loved the fish of the day with the dorade and tomatoe salsa! the parsnip crips and puree was also a great surprise in taste. Love the details of the fish carafe or net on lights , and fish candy. the service was also really friendly and quick. the ceviche of seabass was fresh but in taste , a bit bland.

Great experience. The food was delicious and looked amazing. Cuisson could have been a bit more on point for most of the dishes. The gnocchi lacked a bit of depth in flavor. But overall a grear experience. Staff was super nice and the atmosphere feels Paris bistro all the way. Would go again!

This has the feel of a French bistro. Very refined and dishes that looked amazing... Food was presented to a high standard and they tasted as good as they looked. In a party of 10 the food came out quickly for us all. The monkfish was cooked to perfection. With servings of wedges on the side for the group. Personally I didn't like the butter sauce as it was a little rich for me, but I'm sure it was just the thing for most people. I still enjoyed the fish very much. I really wanted shandy to drink but they don't have lemonade (sorry not very sophisticated I know) but a local beer and a tonic water hit the spot.
Wendy P — Google review
The new menu is amazing. Refined and fulfilling. Love the mix of cuisines with the common denominator of fish. The soft shell crab bun was one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had. The staff were really friendly and really service oriented. It was fully packed and still they were all smiling and making time to have a chat and explain the menu/dishes. A really cute and lovely place if you’re keen for fish!

If you want to enjoy a quality warm sea food platser then this is the place to go! We were seated outside in the sun and it was lovely. Super nice staff but a little bit slow. D We also ordered the oysters but I was not a big fan of them, they were not super tasteful but sometimes the batch is not perfect. The warm seafood platter will I definitely come back for and for the staff experience as well.

Food was pretty good. The complimentary trout pate was delicious. Also delicious was the ceviche - the flavour of the dressing was not overpowering and the fish was fresh and plump. A little disappointed with the fish and chips. The batter was a little soggy and the serving of fish was small. However it came with an ample serving of fries and salad. Love the location away from crowds but with enough cyclists going by to have something to look at :)

Seafood restaurant
Nestled in the vibrant Leidseplein, de Oesterbar has been a culinary gem since 1938, offering an exquisite selection of gourmet seafood dishes within its charming French-style brasserie. This historic establishment is celebrated for its sophisticated menu that showcases classic European cuisine, featuring everything from lavish seafood platters to Dutch mussels served with crispy fries and saffron-infused seafood risotto. The restaurant prides itself on serving fresh oysters sourced from both France and the Netherlands.
This place is a restaurant and you have to wait a decent amount of time, so advise going there when you are not in a hurry and want to spend some time tasting seafood in a calm manner.

In some super poshy area Leidseplein. Food is a bit too salty to my tastebuds. The staff are super gracious. A fine dining in the category. Price is a bit above average - mind you the seafood are fresh .. and mind the location, and the interior 😊 - Overall it s nice, and OK. Glad we visited.

Service is kind and efficient, but place is really too much expensive, in particular considering the quality of dishes. Impossible to take a bottle of wine, unless you want to spend at least 50 euro... and you can find the same bottle for less than 10 euro in wine shops (5 euro in Italy). I went out after spending 120 euro (2 persons) and I needed to buy something else to eat.
