Yes, this place is definitely expensive but you're paying for the view. It's probably the nicest…read morebeach restaurant around this area, and I biked to many of them! The service is pretty slow but they are happy to let you sit as long as you like. I especially appreciated that when I told them about my dietary restrictions, they offered me a menu listing ALL allergens in the dishes! This was super helpful, and I felt that they were happy to accommodate. The chips/fries came with a whole tube of local Dutch mayonnaise. Also, when I asked for ketchup for my chips/fries, it was the first time in the Netherlands that I got more ketchup than I needed - and this made me really happy. The fresh mint tea was nice, and came with the requisite speculoos biscuit cookie. I'd say come by for a nice atmosphere and the ocean-facing view, but it's probably a one-time thing for visiting if you're in the area with friends. Nice for drinks and hanging out in the sun (if you're lucky enough to have sun in the Netherlands).

My husband and I had just gotten in to a nearby hotel after 27 hours on planes, trains, and…read moreautomobiles for our Five-City European Honeymoon Tour in mid-June. Que Pasa was right down the street, so we decided to give it a try. After popping our heads inside the restaurant, we decided to sit outside by the street. The server (possibly the owner?) turned on the heater next to our table, which took some of the chill off on an overcast summer evening. He quickly gave us some menus and took our drink orders. From what I remember, they had a pretty good selection of local beers. There is a multi-lingual menu with numbers, so ordering was really easy. We ordered four tapas: Asparagus, Beef Tenderloin, Mixed Paella, and Vegetable Empanadas. Now, I have actually been to Barcelona before. However, the paella I had there was disappointing (I admit, my friends and I didn't choose the best spot). If I had known the paella at this place was so good, I would have ordered the regular-sized portion! Fresh seafood, perfectly cooked chicken, and flavorful rice and veggies... I was blown away. The other three tapas were also very good. The empanadas in particular had a lot of flavor, especially considering there was no meat inside. Our server was great. We had a great conversation with him about traveling and the town of Zaandam. He told us about the revitalization of the area and the town's characteristic "Zaandam Green" that is painted on traditional homes and buildings. The restaurant does accept magnetic-stripe credit cards. This is important because very few places in Amsterdam do. We would LOVE to come back and dine at Que Pasa again!

This was my tapas experience:…read more The food and ambience was amazing. The wait staff was lacking somewhat. Would not take my order properly. Short blonde haired older waitress. Walked off and called us 'sommigen mensen'. It was just downhill from there. Had to be reminded of dishes she forgot. Kept walking away while I was ordering AND quickly snatching away the menus. Cleared the plates while we were still eating, so I asked if they were closing soon. She huffs off. I genuinely ask her what time they close and her snippy answer was, 'when I like!' Thankfully the food was good. Then when it was time to ask for the bill, I was mid sentence asking for her to split it for me and my friend. She walked away and yells across the room that I have to split it myself. Thank you for turning sour what was meant to be a lovely evening after a long day of work. Very disappointed as this place was recommended by a personal friend of the owner.

Located just steps from A'DAM LOOKOUT and THIS IS HOLLAND, this restaurant is the perfect place to dine before or after visiting either. We stopped in at about 2:30pm before heading to the LOOKOUT and had no problem getting a seat. The restaurant is huge! We were seated up on the third level and a waitress came over with menus immediately. Don't worry, they have menus in both Dutch AND English. I went with the burger which was actually delicious and my cousin had some sort of cheese sandwich and a side of fries. I'm actually not really sure this is what she intended to order (I think she wanted to go with a cheese plate instead), but she really liked it anyway. Service was fast and friendly, and we were able to get in, eat, and pay in under 40 minutes. I could imagine that this place offers some beautiful views on a sunny day, but all we really saw was fog. All in all, a pretty solid place for a quick bite if you're in the area.

This is the Bar Restaurant part of the Eye Film Institute. Great place.. really amazing terrace and…read morethe inside is also great... lean and essential design which matches 100% the incredible museum building. Free entrance, you do not need to get to the movies or museum... but it is a great step to start or end after you enjoyed the Film Institute :) Bar food, a bit more high level than normal bar... bare in mind service is quite sloppy even if they have a very complex table numbering and electronic pads to take your order... at the end who is delivering your food/drinks are students... and well... they need to be trained... maybe because it is still a new business. Over all a great place to spend a sunny afternoon / evening.... oohh... and it is a VERY windy position... but I love it!!
