Tres carnes were very good E27.95 Castillos de Cerdos (spare-ribs) were fantastic. I went back four days later to enjoy them again. A real bargain at only E13.95 Their vegetarian plate was very good E15.95 A must: Mango con taquila dessert was awesome E7.50. I'm told that their Creme Brulee is excellent as well.

I'm visiting Amsterdam from New York City, and this restaurant was within walking distance from my…read moreAirBnB, so I tried it twice. Both times, the food was fantastic. I got the burger both times, and it was really juicy and well-seasoned. One of the two times I went, the service was fast (I think I got my food in less than 15 minutes), but the other time, it took 15 minutes just for them to bring me the water I asked for, and I think it took about 45 minutes from the time I ordered my food for it to arrive. In short, this place is worth checking out because the food really is good, but only if you have some time to spare.

Really enjoy spending time here. It's very close to both Purmerend, Oostzaan and just a short drive…read morefrom Amsterdam. You should be able to bike here from any of these locations, but by car / scooter is most favorable. It's a great location to spend your spring / summer lunches or dinners. They have a nice selection of food to choose from, but I usually go for the 'Twiske' burger. I'm not even going to describe it; you have to experience it! It's in the middle of a nature reserve called 'het Twiske'. Should you decide to spend the day, you can: rent bikes, rent a (sail)boat, go swimming or surfing, or enjoy the view at the 'paviljoen'. When in Amsterdam and you have access to a car or don't mind a bit longer bikedrive through the country, please oh please do visit!

In my opinion, what really sets them apart is their service. All the servers are friendly, attentive and personable. Leuk is a refreshing place to be if you are in the area.

We stayed in Waterland and our Airbnb host recommended this spot…read more So good. Definitely local and made to order food. If I had the choice, I would have eaten here each meal. We were lucky to be able to dine in twice during our stay. Great service, quality ingredients, a wide variety of items - from pancakes, HUGE salads and entrees featuring local proteins. Call ahead for reservations, they book up quickly. Savory food last order is 8pm, but they serve dessert through 9pm. Beautiful, lovingly crafted food.

It was worth it! Great place, ambiance and service. Lars was off but the chef greeted every table!…read more I got there early when the opened and were still setting up but they easily accommodated me. I am away on business and went solo! I would return with Family and friends! Menu: basically 3 choices of 5 or 6 courses (one vegetarian (not vegan), two mixed with meat, fish, etc. food starts coming right away! Small bites followed the courses. I went with the vegetarian option and it was spectacular. I did 6 but would have been fine with 5 courses. Each bite was full of flavor and thoughtful construct. Inspired by traditional components with a modern twist. Wine: lots of bottles to choose from. I had one glass of a German wine that tasted like a Pinot noir. I forgot the name. It was suggested and very nice. Ambiance. Located in more of a commercial part of town it's away from city center but easy to access. Lots of seating but it filled up with all the reservations. I suggest a reservation. Cost seemed appropriate for the detail, quantity, quality and flavor. I wondered about the quantity of food and left very satisfied. In fact I would have had less bread it it was so tasty and I like bread with the condiments provided!

I feel this restaurant may have relaxed a bit after receiving a Michelin star…read more My wife and I were here in our 3 day Amsterdam and had high hopes but the service was terrible. Dutch customers were well taken care of but we couldn't get anyone to even look our way. I say they may have relaxed because there was a large sign that said "you've got an effing Michelin star now". The staff was super relaxed and chatty - to themselves. 40 minutes after serving the last dessert not a single server had come over to check on us or even look in our direction. I have no idea what we did to deserve this. I have a bib gourmand meal in Reims France that was twice as delicious, 100x better service, and half the cost. Extremely disappointed in the cost to experience.

So we're at our hotel breakfast the other day comparing notes with some people that we had just met…read moreand they suggested we consider this restaurant for dinner. We did and it was worth it. The service and environment were friendly, and the food delivered. We enjoyed a Burrata tomato salad made with arugula, focaccia, penne pasta arriabata, and a rib eye steak. We also purchased a bottle of Italian wine, a barolo that was very nice. I will tell you that if we had drank more going to the bathroom, would've been a harrowing experience as the bathroom is located upstairs up a very narrow, steep stairwell. So, this Italian restaurant is very worthy of being considered while you're in downtown Amsterdam.
