Caveat: I am not a steak eater. Here with a friend who loves this place and is a big steak fan. Food quite tasty. Fries were a standout with perfect crispy/chewy ratio. Spare ribs are "fall off bone" excellent. My friend's steak was buttery and perfectly cooked. Skip the side salad unless you need to have some vegetables with your meal. Bread portion was really good; nice sauce dips; worth ordering. Atmosphere is very very dark. Decor is like an 19th century bar with hard bench seating. No A/C, so on the night we were there; it was hot as hell. There is limited outdoor seating, though in July 2018 there is construction in front of the restaurant. Don't let that stop you. We sat in the back room with a breeze coming in from behind. It was quite nice. Service slow of course, but extremely friendly. I would go back, but after it cools off a bit.

Ladies steak, man steak, chorizo, prawns and ribs! Just a Sunday evening snacketje!

These meat lovers come forth restaurants are taking over the neighbourhood but I'm not complaining! I promise! On a clear but chilly Friday evening, when we finally got to the restaurant (with no booking) we got delegated to the bar for both, food and drinks.. but how much room does one need to eats the meats? Thankfully, you get very territorial with the foods so space is not an issue! We wanted cocktails but sadly, because of how busy they are, they only offer whatever is on the board. So no fancy cocktails here kids! However their meats, oh their meats! We got ribs and steak and whilst we waited, watched with a keen eye the orders that came before ours. If our eyes could drool, they would have! The rack of ribs was ginormous, smokey, sticky and cooked to perfect! The steak? It was good but eh, if you eff up a steak in a place like this, many would ask what you were doing in the meat biz!! All in all, another good addition to the hood! Just be sure to make a booking before you get there or you might need to wait and who wants that on a Friday night?

How the proprietor made us feel -- right at home in their country and eating at their establishment! Awesome!

Dropped in! Reservations only, but made room for the foreigners! Very impressed with the service and the food!

This is a top steak house with a great atmosphere and friendly & attentive staff. When we arrived the waiter asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't, so we were told we could have a table for 4 in around 45 minutes and could wait at the bar. We had a few drinks at the bar and some bitterballen (bitter balls), which are these tasty curried balls, to share as we enviously watched the food being brought out to other diners. Everything looked and smelled incredible. When we got to our table the waiter was extremely helpful as the menu was not in English and none of spoke Dutch. To start we shared some amazing, beautify barbecued pork ribs. They were as big, juicy and tender as ribs should be with a perfect charred exterior. For main, I went for the ribeye for which you can chose your size, I went for 400g ribeye which came to the table perfectly charred and medium rare as ordered.... This is how you cook a steak! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be coming back if I'm in the city again.

Half chicken and spare ribs!

I had bookmarked this place to come to dinner sometime, and last night was that time! Recommend…read morereservations, but once again, we just showed up, and the manager says we could sit at the bar, that's our favorite place to sit anyway, in the middle of the sction Definitely appreciated the vibe here--classic rock playing in the background, not too loudly. Staff were welcoming and jovial, joking with us from the beginning. . Very lively fun atmosphere here. Capable of seating a group of 4-6 around tables if needed, We started with a Negroni and a gin and tonic, both made with Jenever. Our food orders were based on other Yelp reviews praising the rubs here: We ordered a normal spare ribs (pork) classic dry rub (comes with salad and two sauces (similar to ranch and thousand island) and a normal mixed. We ordered a baked potato on the side to share, which comes with garlic butter. They also brought plain bread slices on the side. The pork ribs were both tender and flavorful. My husband liked the classic dry rub better than the smoked. The salad was crispy thanks to celery slices. The garlic butter on the baked potato was creamy, strong, and addictive.. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. When we left, we asked the mamager where the sister bar was located exactly and he directed us across the street to Cafe GDG.the adventure continues! Highly recommend!

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!

Overall an ok experience because: + average food…read more+ friendly and welcoming atmosphere + very slow service I would give it 3,5 star for the very welcoming atmosphere and the good quality meats. The pace of service and the rest of the dishes could be improved though. The food was ok-ish. For example, the meats were of good quality, but they were cooked in too much gravy and were served with bland tasting vegetables. Also the cocottes had good tasting mushrooms, but the sauce was overwhelming. The place itself is very welcoming and the staff very friendly. The owner/chef came to our table for a very friendly chat. It has a very intimate and relaxed atmosphere. However, the service is incredibly slow. It took 25 minutes before our drink orders were taken and we received the menu, 35 minutes to place our order and only 75 minutes after arriving did we have our first course. And the restaurant was not very crowded. Feels like this should be improved.

One of my friends wanted to eat meat, lots of meat for dinner, so I scoured yelp & tried to find a…read moremeaty place. The usual culprits for meat were all full. I got lucky with this place because they had a table for four on a friday evening! The place is a super charming tiny little place, old school dutch style. And I loved how every table has a candle on it. While browsing the menu we had a plate of bread with a herring pate and olive oil placed down. The bread was delicious and the herring pate, even better! We all decided to get the four course surprise menu which was 32.40 i believe. Each course was delicious. All the meats were cooked and marinated perfectly (I have photos attached to this review of each course). I recommend all of them and it was hard deciding which one was my favorite. I don't think this place is traditional brazilian but brazilian inspired and they did a good job doing their twist on it. Service was also efficient and friendly especially for being a full house! The only reason I can't give them 5 stars is because we all felt the portion sizes were a bit on the small side. The guys at our table left hungry. I was on the edge of still hungry. Also we ordered more bread for our table since we knew the plates weren't going to fill us up. We got charged for each extra bread basket we received. I would also recommend this place for a nice romantic dinner. Dark walls, charm & candlelight.. you can't go wrong!
