    I was recommended by my Dutch friend to try the steak at Loetje, and I wasn't disappointed!…read more My friend and I came by Loetje Oost around 6:30 on Sunday evening and there was plenty of seating available. I had made a reservation right beforehand on their website, but I definitely didn't need it. There's a nice patio outside, but because it was starting to get a bit chilly in the evening, we opted to sit inside. My friend got the Thai chicken soup ($8) to start and had the chicken satay skewers ($18.50) for his entree. Interestingly enough, the restaurant was out of chicken (is that really a thing?) so the Thai chicken soup because a Thai veggie soup instead. He didn't mind though, and really liked it as it had a nice coconut flavor. The chicken skewers were good as well. I went straight for the steak and ordered a medium sized beef tenderloin with their garlic gravy ($27.50). The server asked if I wanted fries with that, but I went with a healthier apple compote side for $3.50 instead. I absolutely LOVED my steak, and that's quite rare for me as I'm generally not a steak person. I was a bit worried because she didn't ask how I wanted the steak cooked, but I guess here the default is to cook it on the rarer side and I certainly didn't mind! The steak is served swimming in a pool of gravy, which I've never seen before. Each bite was super tender, and the garlic gravy it came with was super salty so by dipping the meat into the sauce, that guaranteed the meat was flavorful enough. The apple compote was delicious as well, but I wish it was served warm instead of cold. I was very happy with my decision to come here for my first meal in Amsterdam!

    Lovely restaurant within walking distance of the Hyatt Regency Hotel (15 minute walk). The food,…read morewine, and service were all exceptional.

    Vapiano is a chain of Italian restaurants, with restaurants in over 30 countries. I visited this…read moreparticular location back in 2022, after having a good experience at a now-closed Vapiano location elsewhere in the city. This particular location is located near the Royal Palace of Amsterdam on Amstelstraat. You go into the store, to a small counter area, where they seat you down, before going down the stairs or elevator to the main restaurant area. Gone are the days of ordering your food with the chef, and letting them cook the food in front of you, and this system has been replaced by a QR code mobile ordering system, even as a tech-savvy person, I found the online system very difficult to use and get right, and in the end, it never generated me a confirmation or receipt, I had to ask a passing staff member whether they had or had not received my order, it turns out they had... but the QR code system never asked or confirmed my table number, so I felt concerned I would not get food at all. Service was very slow, however, I did visit on a busy evening, I did however have to chase up my drinks, as they had not arrived for some good time, even after my food had arrived, considering they were pre-bottled and in the fridges, I found this to be unacceptable, they later told me they had "cleared" the order so had no record of it, after checking they ended up bringing my drinks anyway, but at a substantial delay and with no apology. I ordered a gluten-free tonno pizza, which came with tuna and red onions, as this was my favourite order during my 2018 trip to The Netherlands, while I liked how the pizza was brought in a silver tray, presumably to limit cross-contamination due to it being a gluten allergy, there was nothing else positive to say about the pizza, it was really dry, and the flour from the base was coming apart at the bottom, making it really messy. It wasn't enjoyable at all. Upon leaving the store, while I was waiting for the very slow elevator, a man pushed in front of me and became verbally aggressive and threatening, who was shouting across the entire restaurant, he later told me that he was the manager and was very nasty heckling me with threats and abuse, after reporting this to head office, they told me they would deal with the incident and offered me vouchers for my next visit and a refund, however despite chasing them up on multiple occasions, this was not actioned as promised. Even if the food would have been outstanding, due to abusive and threatening staff from a manager who has let his power go to his head, I couldn't justify anything other than a one-star rating, but the food wasn't good either, and I had to fight to get the drinks that I ordered and paid for, as they appeared to lose the order. Amsterdam has some of the best restaurants in Europe, so I don't know how this place can remain open. 1*

    So the concept of this restaurant is you order on your phone and they deliver the food food to you…read more When it works its great. I ordered my risotto with bread and when it arrived the bread was absent. I first person had a look that said not my problem. The second, the one who delivered the food said "I'll see if i can get you some." Wait you'll see you you can get me something I paid for? And he never came back so I guess he decided it wasn't him problem either. That's why I hate pre-tipping. I was going to order dessert, but not anymore. The food was good for what it's worth.
