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.

Probably the best dining experience I had in Amsterdam. Came here for my last night in Amsterdam…read moreand it was a great way to end my trip altogether. 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.

Go figure. For the past two years, the best restaurant I've eaten at in Amsterdam is Tibetan!?…read moreAbsolutely. This is a must stop on anyone's Amsterdam journey especially if exploring non-Continental food. Norling is in the city center, Centrum, on Reguliersdwarsstraat, the heart of one of Amsterdam's prime gay areas. Consequently, there is a lot of foot traffic and reservations are advised as Norling is getting popular with Dutch and visitors. This is NOT Chinese food even though China claims Tibet as theirs. Tibetan (or Tibetaans in Dutch) food is Himalayan, similar to Nepalese. Every dish I've eaten used fresh ingredients, was perfectly cooked and not too salty. All were colorful and beautifully plated. Many of Norling's dishes offer interchangeable proteins such as beef, chicken, lamb, pork, shrimp or vegetarian. The curries are freshly made and fully flavorful. Dal is wonderful too! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, so be adventurous. Cap your meal with espresso and Licor 43 over ice for the perfect ending. Norling is a small restaurant on two floors but it is not a hole-in-the-wall. The interior is artful, modern, intimate and clean. Service from the waitresses and bartender is warm and always with smiles.

Gosh he hates solid plans and doesn't even consider confirmed plans as confirmed plans. It's very frustrating, but we met in the middle for this trip, only planning a few meals/activities and letting the rest be decided on the fly. This dinner was one of our on the fly dinners and it's made me change my ways. Perhaps leaving things to chance and whims isn't so bad. We wanted to explore an area we hadn't been to before and we like Tibetan food, so we made our way to Norling and were seated upstairs instantly. It's a cozy restaurant with a few small levels, I believe in what used to be a residence. We opted for the tasting menu which is a fantastic deal! It's a huge menu for only 24,50 each. We literally could not believe the amount of food. I really loved the vegetarian noodle dish and the lamb in creamy potatoes. The chicken wings had the most perfect crisp I've ever experienced. I've definitely had better momos, but overall, this was a really great meal.
