    From start to finish this place delivered! After searching many options in the city I landed on BAK and I'm so glad I did! Well done team!

    Fish main

    Was skeptical when this was a) super far from the main area/near ports b) buzz up was required to enter the building and it was so quiet PRICE WAS FAIR AND VALUABLE. Came for lunch prix fixe which can usually have a lot of hits and misses but €34.50 for 3 courses considering the quality and presentation was phenomenal FOOD WAS FRESH, TASTY AND NOVEL - free bread: sourdough was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft but dense on the inside - beet salad with blackberries: tart but sweet from the blackberries, and savory with the onion - fish: perfectly crispy skin, tender on the inside with a slightly sweet but savory carrot sauce and purée. Even the zucchini was perfectly cooked - dessert: plums perfectly cooked and rose kombucha and sorbet went surprisingly well with the dollop of whipped cream. Slightly tart, not very sweet -- YUm TLDR: lunch prix fixe was definitely worth it and I'd highly recommend coming. Quality of ingredients was phenomenal, cooking was delicious and novel, presentation was beautiful and service was great!!

    Food portion very small, personally not to my liking. Service from the waiter was not sincere and we paid a deposit of 200 euro was not told it was not refundable. Feel cheated as this was not being told! Nothing impressive!

    Omg! Wasn't in Amsterdam too long (only 4 days), but BAK served my favorite meal of my visit. The food was delicious and the service was great (besides a slight slip with the water). I had the regular tasting menu for lunch and enjoyed most of the dishes immensely. Some of the standouts were the winter cod and parsley root dishes. I would return in a heartbeat!

    Cauliflower with a marigold bullion and whipped buttermilk

    The previous review are spot on. This is a must have high end dinner, and the dining experience is worth it. A complete menu with 8 courses, we added the optional cheese course for a total of 9, beyond the exquisite Belgian bleu cheese, the carrot sorbet with buckthorn was only outdone by the sourdough crepe with sour apple filling and topped with fresh whipped sweet cream

    I visited Bak while vacationing in Amsterdam to celebrate turning 33! I can safely say that this was one of the best birthday dinners I've had - from the great pescetarian menu to the wine pairings. The food was both delicious and beautifully presented (I took some photographic evidence). The service was polite and attentive. I hope to return again in the future!

    Bak is really a terrific restaurant. Not only is the food delicious and beautifully presented, but the location is a treat in itself. At first glance the simple menu might seem unappealing. One of the dishes was described as "oatmeal, mussels, fennel and cornichons". To be honest, it sounded terrible to me. However, it was one of the most delicious dishes we tried! Creamy risotto-like oatmeal was topped with perfectly cooked mussels and sour cornichons. It still might sound strange, but it was surprisingly yummy! Other highlights of the meal included the dessert of strawberries and tomatoes with goat milk frozen yogurt and the amuse bouche of squid ink crackers topped with a tarragon mousse. The wines paired perfectly with each dish. It was fun to taste the wine before the food was served, and then after taking a bite. The flavors complimented each other wonderfully.

    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!
