Burger and fries
Jim S.

My first time here for lunch but I have diner here for years for dinner. The burgers were delicious and my coworker had the steak sandwich and he enjoyed it. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area for lunch and I definitely recommend them for dinner

Cool ambiance and friendly staff. It does take a while to receive your food - we waited almost an hour for our steaks long after the apps came out. We got the hummus and crispbread as an appetizer. Good hummus and crispy flatbread, lots of flavor with all the different toppings sprinkled on top. Warning - the peppers have a kick!!! I got the churrasco de chorizo - sirloin marinated in garlic, parsley, and olive oil. I requested rare and a sauce, but the server recommended me not to get a sauce since the steak comes flavored. The steak I got was closer to medium and while there was some flavor, it was seriously lacking salt. I wanted to request a sauce, but we had waited so long for the food that I didn't want to prolong our stay. I got a side of bimi which was good, but also a little lacking. Nothing exceptional - probably wouldn't come back.

For been right in the middle of the beaten part not to bad, the meat was really tender. we had the mixed grilled which it was around 2 pounds of meat more than plenty for 2, the only thing it was lacking seasoning didn't had any at all.

House Dish Sampler and T-Bone Steak with Fries and Rice.

I have to preface that I was pretty inebriated when dining here since we stumbled here after having unlimited wine on a boat canal ride. After seeing so many Argentina steak place in Amsterdam, we found CAU and was seated right away. I ordered the Dish of the House (€33.75), which included two cuts of steak and a chorizo sausage while the boyfriend got the T-Bone Steak (€35.50). Both dishes came with a salad and side, which we opted for rice and fries. All I can remember is that I finished all my meat. The sides were just okay, but it was a good meal overall. If you're looking for meat, this did not disappoint.

Pretty nice Argentinian steak house. Busy ambiance and the food and service is great!

Solid spot for a quick dinner. A friend of mine suggested I come over here if I was looking for a meal and I'm glad I did. Service was great and the ambience was pretty empty at the time I went but overall a great meal!

I was excited to come across CAU while in Amsterdam, as far as I'm aware this is the final restaurant left operating under the CAU brand, as they entered administration in the UK, which resulted in the closure of all their stores back home. A short walk away from Dam Square and the Royal Palace, CAU is a great spot to grab some dinner after exploring the fantastic city of Amsterdam, the restaurant inside is quite small, so it lacks intimacy, and you may need to reserve a table to get a seat - it does get very busy with locals and tourists alike! I was unable to reserve a table online, so I decided to chance to visit without a reservation, despite being busy, I managed to be seated right away at the last remaining table. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked so good - the meats especially looked fantastic quality, and I struggled to decide whether I wanted to order chicken or steak. I opted for the Grilled Half Chicken which was described on the menu as "Smoked and grilled slowly, served with coleslaw", the food was superb, everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly, the chicken was juicy and well seasoned, the skin was flavoursome and crispy, and you didn't want to leave any of the chicken left uneaten, accompanied by a large portion of coleslaw which was also fresh, made the dish even better. I opted for a portion of thin chips with thyme salt, which again was seasoned well, I did find the sides to be a little expensive at €5 each, but the mains seemed reasonably priced, with my chicken and coleslaw costing €18.5 and the steak starting at €17.5, I guess it adds up in the end. I asked for some mayonnaise to go with my chips, again this tasted fresh, it seems there's no store-bought sauces or food here! The staff were very friendly and happy to help, they seemed to have good training with allergies, the allergen book was incomplete and did not list the "mains" or "steak sauces", but after asking a staff member, they were able to fill in the blanks with confidence. One of the best meals that I had during my time in Amsterdam, and left me missing the CAU brand from the UK even more, everything was fresh and tasty, and I can't fault the food at all. That's five-star worthy in my book!

Half chicken and salad
Chloe T.

Dinner at CAU was divine. It's located right in the city center and perfect walking distance to just about anything. We stumbled across it when we were very hungry and they were able to fit us in for dinner. We ordered bread as an appetizer and it was warm and tasty. For my meal, had the half chicken with salad and corn. All so tasty! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that we were seated right outside right by the door. Pedestrians would come by and stand right next to our table to look at the menu and individuals inside came out and stood right next to us to smoke. We are both allergic to smoke. We loved being seated outside, just not right next to the door.

Medallions
Jeffrey T.

This restaurant is located on a very busy street near the canal, for some reason all around the neighboring areas has a lot of Argentina steak houses. I've decided to try this one since it looked a bit more upscale, but it was only a front. I was disappointed at the service, we were sat down and placed an order only for a steak and a burger. It took about an hour for the food to come out, and that was even when we asked the waiter multiple times if the food was coming out. They were not even busy, which made it frustrating. I got the Medallions steak, and it was kind of tasteless, I was recommended some kind of pepper sauce and it did not help at all with the flavor. Overall, very disappointed in the service and the food.

Tire de Ancho
Paul D.

After walking past 392 "Argentina Steakhouses," we did some research and settled on this place. I usually go straight for the filet, but after snooping around and peeking at other peoples' plates, I changed to the Tira de Ancho. The 2 ladies behind me ordered the same and devoured their plates, so the challenge was on to finish everything. With every open square inch of my stomach, I ate the entire thing (and parmesan truffle fries). Excellent meal and even better service. Highly recommend.

AMAZING!! Food, service and atmosphere was impeccable! The waiter gave excellent advice and the food was prepared perfectly. The entire table was very happy with their meal

I'll start by saying . . . I'm a little spoiled living in a city with elite food and service, so I…read morealways factor that in when I travel. Mr. Porter is a vibe. Great ambiance, incredible views, and a solid overall experience. Service in Europe is . . . different. Not bad, just not what I'm used to, so I try not to let that impact things too much. One thing I do want to call out: my daughter's friend has a severe allergy to seafood, nuts, and kiwi, and the staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating. That wasn't our experience everywhere in Europe, so it definitely stood out and was appreciated. We went simple with two steaks: the "Mrs. Porter" and a bone-in ribeye. Mrs. Porter needed a little more seasoning, but the ribeye was . Sides? Honestly don't even remember them . . . which probably says enough. The highlight might've been the "Mr. Fox" dessert. They bring out this chocolate fox head, pour liquid nitrogen into it, and crack it open tableside. Super cool presentation. Dessert itself was good, not amazing . . . but I'd order it again just for the show. End of the day: great ambiance, great views, good food, and a fun experience. I'll definitely be back.

The drink prices on the other hand are outrageous. 36 euro for the smallest martini I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, it tasted great, but still. Paid about 82 euro for two martinis and a non alcoholic drink. Probably gonna steer clear for the rest of our trip. There are much better and more affordable options outside the hotel.

It's a nice little place, you can sit in the front of the restaurant where the chefs are cooking or the back dining room, away from the outer doors. We opted for the front, it was neat to watch them cut and cook our meat. We went with the Wagyu carpaccio, scallops, and tuna tartare as the appetizers. These were all absolutely incredible. So fresh tasting, made to perfection. The right amount of flavor. Next we ordered the tomahawk. We didn't realize until after we were eating that it was bison. It was so fantastic, I'm actually glad we didn't know because neither myself or husband had ever tried it before so it gave us the chance to try something new that we may not have ordered. It was cooked perfectly for us. The right amount of pink. It was so tender to chew and in my opinion the right about of fat on the cut. The lobster was great, it had the right amount of butter than a slight hint of lemon, not overpowering. The breads were good but the butters stood out, absolutely heavenly. So creamy and flavorful. I am going to dream about this when we leave. The broccoli/cauliflower and mushrooms were just ok to us, nothing gave us a wow on them. Overall the meal was fantastic. My husband said it was the best meal in his life. Our server was very kind and attentive. The chef and owner were also exceptional. Everyone made us feel very welcomed and taken care of. We never felt like we were being overlooked or ignored. We would recommend this place if you're looking for a great meal and service and not a bad price tag. For the quality of food, the price is on par with that and worth it all.

We were seated on a bench around a fireplace with no table, along with other patrons. You eat with a tray on your lap. The menu is simple - a variety of appetizers, couple of soups, a section for fish, and a section for steak and spare ribs. They also had a wine menu. We both ordered the spare ribs - him with a side of potato and me with a side of vegetables. The food arrived pretty quickly. The portions were large. The spare ribs were nicely sauced, fall off the bones tender, and absolutely delicious. The potatoes and vegetables tasted just as good. Prices were very reasonable. Will definitely return when in Amsterdam!

The roasted vegetables were a nice mix and seasoned well. We were offered dessert when everyone was finished with dinner. We were well attended to without feeling rushed.
