Stopped in for a quick dinner - all three of us got the ribs. Very good, and the sides were good…read moretoo. The sides are on the small side so don't be afraid to order two. Ribs were perfect! Good looking and super friendly staff. May need a reservation in the summertime.

Wanted to try something new in Amsterdam, so we came to De Nachtwacht in Rembrandtplein. Didn't…read morerealize it was such a famous steakhouse! Since we came pretty late, none of the appetizers were available and only steaks. Which was fine for me, since I didn't want to waste any valuable calories on anything but steak. Ordered a massive Côte de Beouf (800 grams or 28 ounces) and some Grilled Vegetables on the side. This was an extremely well-cooked steak! European medium rare borders closer to rare than medium, which is fine for me as long as the steak is cooked well. Quite tasty! Service was fine, no complaints from me. Honestly can't believe I've never been to De Nachtwacht before. Definitely need to come back.

I got the egg sandwich with smoked salmon which was flavorful and appetizing. My husband got the vegan burger which he enjoyed as well. The only area for improvement would be the pace of service. It took a few glances and close to 20 min in between getting our drinks and ordering our food and we weren't even there during the lunch time rush. But all in all, I would come back here for a quiet lunch and afternoon coffee.

I was there for my company's Christmas party.... very nice. They let you get there the stuff you want for your own music and shows. Food is good (bar food), and drinks are nice. Just a bit outside the usual central path.... but then you get a nice spacey place with very easy parking !!

Of course we had to visit The Black Dog while in Amsterdam.. well because we have a black dog. We…read morestarted off with drinks, it was a beer for me and a coca-cola for my husband. For food it was the soup of the day with bread and chicken gyoza for me and the traditional English Sunday roast for my husband (this is available every Sunday while supplies last). It was a cool spot to visit.

I found this place when out with a group of 3 other friends. Food was super tasty and the drinks…read morewere perfect. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Busy enough to be lively but quiet enough we could still have a conversation. One of our friends had some minor medical issues (fainting, weakness) while we were there. After clarifying with the staff his issues were not due to intoxication, they were super nice and accommodating. Definitely will return on a future trip.

The staff was super friendly and attentive. The bartender gave us advice on cool (but not touristic) things to do in Amsterdam. We had a good time and decided to also eat here the next day.

I've been to a few of the other locations, but the Handboogstraat spot just hits different. It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

Juniper & Kin is a gorgeous cocktail bar and restaurant on the 21st floor of the new QO Amsterdam…read morehotel. The venue takes up the entire floor and has wall to wall windows for a bird's eye view. The bar area is very large and, though the bar itself isn't too big, it is surrounded by plenty of lounge seating with cushy chairs and sofas and tables. It was fairly quiet on a rainy Tuesday evening but I'm sure this place must be popular on weekends. What a sexy place for a date or night out! Cocktails are inventive and there's something for everyone, including a handful of AF cocktails (the bar carries the full line of Seedlip spirits). My husband and I enjoyed several tasty drinks and a really nice cheese plate, though I do wish this had come with some bread or crackers. The bartenders were very nice, though seemed a little bit inexperienced. As we were leaving, we passed the open kitchen where chefs were preparing dinner. They use a lot of ingredients from their own greenhouse on the roof. I'll be keeping an eye on this place for my next visit to Amsterdam!

I must have walked by this place dozens of times without really knowing what was inside, but I'm so…read moreglad I finally stopped in. Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win. Don't make the mistake of walking past it for as long as I did!

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!
