We came here on a rainy day and enjoyed our time spent here. The building is cool and gives a greenhouse vibe with all of the windows. There is a bar area as well as a seating area. Our server wasn't incredibly warm, but the service was still good. She was able to give us information on how to accommodate my gluten-free restriction which was helpful. We enjoyed coffee beverages as well as various dishes to share.
Decor 10/10- garden was absolutely beautiful and I loved how you could walk outside to take pictures! It was so spacious and it also had heaters in case you got cold! Service: 10/10 very nice and on top of it! Also explained to us how tipping worked in Amsterdam since we were tourists. Drinks- 7/10 yummy espresso martini, but nothing super unique! I'm not an old fashioned person, but my parents seemed to like their drink! Food- 8.5/10 each dish had its own taste and the ingredients were extremely fresh! My favs were the raviolis, poultry parfait, and the octopus! The ravioli each had their own distinct flavor and were paired beautifully with the candied lemon. They were also not very heavy! The octopus was melt in your mouth and paired with chorizo was a unique combo I never thought of! The poultry parfait was buttery and tasted even better with bread! I didn't like the ceviche at all. It was more like lobster roll than ceviche which left me incredibly disappointed. Would definitely recommend skipping that. Overall: 9/10 often places with beautiful settings skimp on the food but this was not one! You can enjoy a lovely dinner with a wonderful ambience!
First restaurant of our Amsterdam visit. Was indeed a delicacy to enjoy the snacks here with our drinks. I tried the non alcoholic wine Prosecco and I loved it. For snacks we had the hummus, the classic bitterballen and mushroom croquettes. A must place to visit for the ambiance. Service was great here with the amount of people visiting. Will definitely try to reserve a table by the garden to watch the Flamingo and enjoy my dinner.
Do not come here if you are in a hurry. Staffing issues have obligated De Plantage to remain closed on Mondays, and the wait staff is struggling but, in my experience, were kind and doing their best. This cafe restaurant is housed inside an 1870 orangery, with a six-meter ficus tree at its center... everything is on a grand scale with numerous intimate seating areas. Bleached wood flooring, marble countertops and tan leather banquettes make for eye candy. Outdoors, you are seated on the perimeter of Amsterdam's zoo, Artis, and on the grounds of Hortus, the city's botanical gardens. The Mediterranean fare is fresh, well prepared and attractively plated. I ordered oysters on the half shell and the insanely divine wild boar ravioli.
Great trendy spot next to the Artis (zoo)! Great service and food is amazing. Especially the fresh vegetables, almost like farm to table. Would definitely come back again to try their other menu items. For our dinner, we got: Cerviche (Mackerel) Wood grilled fish Steak Churros com Chocolate and Vanilla ice cream (Glass of Prosecco and Syrah) All wonderful~
excellent restaurant by the zoo in Amsterdam! They open late as well which helps if you are jet lagged from US. The outdoor seating is very nice with hanging lights. We had the ceviche, Cod and steak.
Solid food in a really beautiful atmosphere. We were able to walk in without a reservation and really enjoyed our meal. Service was friendly and prompt.
One of my favorite meals during our stay in Amsterdam! Not only is De Plantage aesthetically beautiful, but their food was delicious! It looks very fancy inside, so we expected a pricey dinner.. but everything was reasonably priced at 20 or less for main dishes! (but keep in mind all of us came from NYC...) Most of us ordered either the perch or the risotto at the recommendation of our waitress. And both were delicious! The perch fish was not dry and the rice, eggplant, and veggies accompanied it perfectly. The risotto was also really creamy and flavorful. The runny yolk was a perfect addition. Even though it didn't have meat, the mushrooms were so good. I wish there was a De Plantage in NYC that we could go to!
Food is really good, actually that impressed us but service is AWFUL. We waited 20 min to get our beers and 30 min to pay the bill. Not the best service when you try to call them and no one looks in your direction. Even though, food was delicious and the decoration was pretty.
We were wandering around Amsterdam and stumbled in here randomly. Obviously we did not have a reservation and although we arrived at 5pm we were promptly seated and advised that the kitchen didn't open until 5:30pm. Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food we ordered was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend this place for a nice meal.
Our waiter was very sweet and the food was good. I think the coolest part was the atmosphere by far. It's next to a petting zoo and inside a greenhouse. We ordered the asparagus risotto with a poached egg and the fried red fish. Both were good. I don't think I have ever had a fish fried to that level of crispness without it also being heavy from the oil. The fish was light and the meat tender and flaky. For dessert we capped it off the pear crepe. The best part of the meal was the wild boar ravioli. Those 4 little pockets of meat were packed with a creamy gamey filling.

Really excellent food in a lovely "greenhouse" setting. Everything we had was terrific, and the service was as good as you'd expect from Amsterdam. It's also not very noisy in the greenhouse area, so if you're scheduling a dinner (like ours) where you want to be able to have a serious conversation, this is a great place for it. The staff here will work very carefully with any members of your party who have food allergies, so remember to fill out that part of your reservation form. Good wine list, too. They had a couple of Alto Adige wines I didn't see elsewhere in Amsterdam. read more
We had dinner reservations for 5:30pm on a Friday night. The place is very modern and upscale. The menu doesn't indicate any items GF but the server gave an allergen menu. We both ordered a glass of wine and risotto. We were brought GF bread with olive oil, but only one piece to share. The risotto was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The servers changed throughout dinner but the guy at the end was very nice. My friend and I shared 2 GF desserts - the chocolate mousse and pavlova. The pavlova was incredible and the mousse was good but very rich. read more

Upon entering, there is a sense of regalness that may have you second guessing a casual dinner outing. But this is Amsterdam, where anyone can mingle while enjoying the atmosphere and good food. The main room is enormous, resembling what could have been a greenhouse at one time. We were enthusiastically greeted and lead to our table after signing off on our reservation. The service never missed a beat as our waitress was also friendly and just on top of things. Everything came quickly including a second glass wine and dessert. I began with the salad with burrata, served with blood orange, fennel, eggplant and pomegranate vinaigrette. It was wonderfully presented and one of the best salads I've ever had. The main course was roasted duck with beluga lentils, savoy cabbage, fried elstar, pancetta and mirin. The meal was equally delicious. This is a perfect spot to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or just a pleasant evening out. I give top marks for a flawless experience and good food at a very reasonable price. De Plantage is a true gem in one of Amsterdam's most unique neighbourhoods. read more

We loved this restaurant--our favorite in Amsterdam. Make reservations--your will need them. We had the lamb dinner for two, with chutney, yogurt sauce, rice, roasted pumpkin, and grilled lemons. It was the best lamb I have ever had. We also ordered a green salad to share, which sounds just like what it was; a bowl of butter lettuce and croutons. We also got fries, which were served with aoili, but although they were fabulous, that was a mistake. Great meal. I'd eat there again in a heartbeat. read more
I absolutely adore this restaurant. It's everything I love. It's beautiful interior with the tree in the center and sleek lines that sit on the zoo. So you can walk outside after to the patio and see all the birds and monkeys not to mention the flamingos! And if that isn't enough the food is incredible. We did our podcast there during lunch and we're very distracted by the food. We loved all the Tartines, and ravioli. We ordered the rose and it was lovely. read more

The boar ravioli was very flavorful. Loved the creamy sauce. The place is very nice, though you can dress casual. The entree came out quickly but the main course took over 30 minutes. I got the cod filet and yassi gnocchi which is gnocchi with a hint of citrus. Best fish I have ever had! I could eat another. The sauce was so good I spooned a few as if it were soup. The crepes were very good. A scoop of ice cream, warm apples and powdered sugar. Excellent! read more
What an impressive space. De Plantage has been expertly restored into a classy yet inviting and unpretentious restaurant. A place as beautiful in New York would be charging 18 euros for sandwiches that require merely 7-10 here. The ambiance remains loyal to the early 20th century feeling evoked by Artis, while conjuring memories of Paris and old train stations. Its floor to celing windows showcase the beautiful Artis Zoo. Eating there for lunch, the food was simple, fresh and tasty. There were quite a few offerings, including ravioli, toasties, and several open faced sandwiches. I had the smoked salmon with roasted beets and fisheggs, my friend the mackarel with cucumber and yogurt sauce. They were both quite good. Very tasty indeed, although I might not have been inclined to return time and again merely for the sandwiches. However, given the setting, I intend to be back soon, likely for dinner. read more

Delightful ambiance. We sat on the terrace and enjoyed the view of the exotic birds and fountain. The food was delicious- we had shakshuka and a tartine. Our main server was helpful and charming, but the other two superfluous servers forgot our water a few times. Overall very enjoyable. read more

Fantastic! Lovely interiors and delicious food! We ordered the chicken tartine and the sausage ravioli and they were great. We licked our plates clean. I would love to try everything on the menu. And as necessary, we ended with some creme brûlée! And some of the best coffee. Yum! And the staff were very kind. read more
