One of the best meals I've had in my 15 years of traveling to this city…read more If I were to sum this place up in a slogan, it's "Refined without being pretentious" 5 Course "surprise"/ tasting menu with wine pairing. Was just amazing. New and interesting approaches and presentations at classic Nederlands/ "Dutch" tastes. And an excellent value. Every ingredient is purported to be of product of the Netherlands; other than the wines. Amuse-bouche was interesting with a vegetable shooter, mini savory pastries and a madeleine type of cake in a sweet/ savoury puree. Started with an ossenworst type of dish, but it was served more in a tartare format, traditionally dressed with the tastes of pickled cucumber & onion (appearing as purees) and mustard .. but the mustard was in the form of an ice cream.. which being colder than the tartare, made it such a great experience. Nice Pinot Noir to go with it. Second course was these beautifully textured cod fish cheeks that must have been delicately poached, along side of North Sea/ 'grey' shrimp and dressed with beet root and a bacon-fat foam. Amazing. The wine was a Chardonnay from Edd's, a Dutch ex-pat's vineyard in the Algarve, and one which I was so impressed by that I've already ordered a case. Perfect pair. Third/ Main was a nice sirloin cut of beef cooked to perfection, in terms of the inside, for a nice, even texture; though I wish it was a bit more scorched on the outside to add a bit of layering to the bite and char to the taste. This was served with spots of puree of vegetables and stalks of cut white hollands asparagus. A Syrah blend from Edd's helped this one along as it was delicious. The cheese course was incredible. Starting from left to right in terms of intensity, these Dutch cheeses could go head to head with any in Europe.. To get in to detail here I'd be lying because at that point the conversation at the huge round table, aided by the great wines, has left some holes in my memory.. but it was delicious.. and paired with a nice Porto that complemented the cheeses, particularly the Munster-ish(?) semi-soft cow with annatto rind, was out of this world. And a week later, I can still taste the blue cheese which the dish ended with. The dessert was a nutty chocolate cake that resembled a brownie, served with a simple ice cream and strawberries. Paired with an ultra sweet dessert wine; details on which have escaped me but it was chocolatey and nutty just like the dish. Great. The service was ultra-friendly and kind.. on the upscale-casual side, for better or worse at times. We felt welcome, accommodated and most importantly, comfortable throughout the excellent meal. Atmosphere was likewise A+. Love this place. Will be back for sure, and as I am doing now, will be recommending it. P.S. They do accept American Express/ AMEX.

My friend and I pretty much did a three course meal here and it was one hell of a three course meal. We started our with Greetje's Big Beginning which included all 6 of their starters including Roulade of Spring Chicken, Pickled and Smoked Sea Bream Fillet, Mousse of Dutch Lady Blue Cheese, Bouillon of Dutch Beefsteak Tomatoes, Green Pea Soup (which I liked the best), and Crispy Sautéed Black Pudding. For the main course I got the Lamb (Greetje's favorite) which is a roasted fillet of lamb with green asparagus, green beans, potato gratin and its own gravy with heather honey. Very highly recommend this selection for your main. The course was then followed by the Greetje's Grand Finale which included all of their desserts on their menu. All of this came at the cost of €55 per person which is quite the deal. The service is phenomenal. They were very welcoming and made sure you watch your steps going up as some of the steps were taller than others. Very helpful recommendations were provided and recommendations on what to eat first when the Greetje's Big Beginning and the Greetje's Grand Finale came out added to the dining experience. Highly recommended spot to book a reservation when in Amsterdam.

It's small and cozy and the lights are low for ambiance. We were greeted and seated quickly. The server was friendly and answered our questions with no issues. The husband and I tried several sours (I wish I had take. A pic of what I had because it was tasty!) He had braised pork, I had Fleming stew, one teen had duck and the other a burger. Everything came out hot and was tasty! There was no rush to eat and get out (this is the European way) and we enjoyed what seemed like a lot of locals enjoying the place. That's how we know we've got a good place...when it's full of locals. The highlight was the resident cat, who made an appearance to my and my daughters delight. He ru s the place, as he walks all over the bar and earns his keep probably by keeping the mice away. We would definitely eat her again the next time we are in Amsterdam.

The meat option for the night was kofte and sausages, with roasted potatoes and cauliflower and an eggplant dip. Pita chips and bread to help mop/ scoop up the sauce. There were pitas stuffed with goat cheese and dates that were just delicious. ABM is located in the Manor Hotel on Linnaeusstraat. You could walk right by it if you're not careful.
