    Espresso Martini
    Aanandi M.

    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.

    Perch
    Kimmy U.

    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!

    Elegant and refined. The restaurant has a beautiful greenhouse feel. I would love to come back when it's warm enough to sit outside and to try more of the menu.

    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.

    Fried red fish and asparagus risotto
    Bianca V.

    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.

    Salad with burrata, served with blood orange, fennel, eggplant served with a pomegranate vinaigrette.

    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.

    Lamb dinner for two. Amazing.

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win.

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!
