I know I'm always giving 5 stars to the places I love but it's because I REALLY love them & visit over and over again! De Reiger is great. I've been here several times over the past 2 years with my French boyfriend and I've brought friends from NYC to dine as well. The menu changes with what's seasonally available so the plates are always fresh and excellent, the beer and wine selection is wonderful! I've encountered nothing but nice and friendly folks in this establishment and I will undoubtedly be back again soon!! read more

De Reiger was recommended to us by the owner of the B&B we were staying at. Boy were we glad we asked her where to eat! I went on a 3.5 week long vacation all over Europe and the dinner at De Reiger was definitely one of the best meals I had during the trip. This is mainly due to the delicious, fall-off-the-bone SPARE RIBS. You get a generous serving of ribs so this dish is great for sharing. I also enjoyed the side of perfectly fried french fries that came with mayo. We also had a light beer that went well with the heaviness of the meal. I can't stop thinking about those mouth watering, perfectly done spare ribs. Order them, consume them, enjoy. read more

Authentic and cozy, with some of the best food around. This is EXACTLY the type of restaurant I was looking for in Amsterdam - a little off the beaten path with a diverse menu, outdoor seating, and is so hip without even trying. Spying an empty table outside, my girlfriend and I were treated to an excellent meal. Our waitress spoke excellent English and offered several suggestions on the menu. I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of the menu to remind me of the names of the dishes. The entrees are pricey, so my girlfriend and I decided to order some appetizers to split. We ordered three - one had shredded octopus, another was fries with a delicious dipping sauce, and we ordered a tender and juicy pork dish. It was all excellent, and if we had stayed longer in Amsterdam we definitely would've come back for a real dinner. Overall, of all the restaurants we ate at in Amsterdam, this was the nicest one with some of the best food we had in the highly competitive restaurant market. Come during an off time and be willing to spend a little more - you won't regret it. read more

Quite a nice place to visit and eat in it. The clams were great. Also you should ask for the special of the day and usually it's good. Try the steaks there too. Enjoy read more

This was a nice cozy gastropub with solid food. My fiancé had the ribs and I had mussels. Everything was delicious. Staff was attentive and helpful. They have a lovely cat named Binky who lives at the restaurant, which we loved! read more

This is a fantastic restaurant in a great area. The menu is very simple and they have a long list of daily specials. I've had a couple different dishes and my favorite is the ribs. Waitstaff is extremely friendly and willing to translate the daily special board, which is written in Dutch. I love that this restaurant is a quaint little place and feels very welcoming. Dessert is excellent also, try the carrot cake with mousse. Every time I come back to Amsterdam, I always look forward to a nice dinner here. read more

Yes, it's true: GREAT short ribs! Also, great carpaccio. I was so surprised to walk into this place, expecting a few pints and some decent bar snacks, and instead being served one of the best meals we enjoyed in Amsterdam (and certainly at the best value). It falls under the 'eetcafe' label here though I would just go ahead and call it a gastropub. De Reiger features a cozy space with a ski lodge feel, casual service, and a full-service bar when you first walk in if you're more interested in a drink than a meal. Of all the places we ate in the Jordaan neighborhood, this place would likely become my go-to staple if only I were lucky enough to be a local. Maybe one day... And don't forget: cash only! read more

Amazing meal and perfect ambiance. This place had it all and was a great experience. It was our first meal in Amsterdam so we were looking for something local with good quality. I read the reviews beforehand and it's right near the Anne Frank House so we made a point to go there for a proper meal afterwards. They had a Venison steak dish that was top 10 overall for me. Definitely the best Venison I've ever had. They had a great beer selection and the environment is cozy. The staff was excellent, very friendly, and welcoming. Go here for amazing food and a local experience. read more

We actually saw this cat and took a picture- then saw the cat on these yelp reviews so decided to give the restaurant a try! It was so delicious that we went back a second time during our short trip here. Had the steak, fish special, spareribs, fries, charcuterie and chocolate cake- all yummy! They also provided free water right away which was nice after a day of traveling. Quiet block to sit outside as well! read more

Fantastic meal here in Amsterdam last weekend! 4.5 review but rounding up for the great atmosphere and value. We started with the duck confit with sourdough and the beef carpaccio. Both were delicious. For mains I had the spare ribs and J had the cod. Both were beautifully presented and the portions were huge. My ribs had a lovely Asian marinade and J's COD was wonderful. My only regret is that we didn't order dessert. Excellent food and even better prices. Will return! read more

Love gastropubs for the relaxed and laid back atmosphere, for the vast selection of beers, for the comfort foods. My sister picked this place for the party of 5, and I had a dance class right after so my partner and I skipped the drinks, and went straight for the food. We ordered for 2 of us: Lamb stew under the puff pastry appetizer Beef Carpaccio Rib Eye Steak with grilled vegetables BBQ ribs The food was ok, ribs were a bit on the dry side. Did not like that. The Carpaccio was good. The steak was a bit thin, but it was 21 euro, so I guess you get what you pay for. This place is an affordable pub with a good beer selection. I won't be back though. read more

Small carefully selected menu. Beautiful plate presentation and taste pairing. Everything was prepared to expectations, tasted delicious. I had the thinly sliced beet salad and duck breast for main dish. The service was ok. read more

I went to this place years ago when I was a tourist and had one of my best meals in Amsterdam. Now as a resident, I have had meals at a number of other nice restaurants in Amsterdam and this one still stands up as one of the best. They do both fish and meat superbly. The menu changes based on seasonal ingredients so coming back often won't leave you bored. The service is friendly and they have a nice wine list. What more could you want. read more

Cafe De Reiger was much hyped, both by Amsterdam locals and some fellow American tourists that we met while having breakfast at Cafe t'Smalle, but failed to live up to all the hype. Our food was fine but the seemed pricey for what we received and the service was seriously flawed. We sat long periods between ordering and receiving each dish and once our main courses were delivered we didn't see our waitress again for at least 30 minutes, even though we sat with empty wine glasses. Hopefully it was an off night because from everything I've heard, you're one of the best cafes in Jordaan. I really wanted to love you, de Reiger, but sadly I didn't. read more

My wife and I shared mussels and veal loin (both from the specials board), accompanied by a side of fries that were the Platonic ideal of what fries should be - hand-cut, skin-on, perfect thickness and just the right balance of crispy outside and fluffy inside. One of the best meals I've had not just in Amsterdam but anywhere I've visited in Europe (which includes food Meccas like France, Italy and Spain). read more

This has been my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam so far! We came at the recommendation of a colleague in the states whose sister lives here. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you eat here! If I could rate it higher than 5 stars, I would! I had the spare ribs upon recommendation of one of our waiters, and then shared the chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert. Both excellent! The presentation of every dish I saw, was spectacular. We also had a nice bottle of Sangiovese wine that was very good. This place is in a nice neighborhood and the place itself is inviting and quite cozy. Our waiters were friendly and attentive.. I highly recommend De Reiger! read more

It was just OK. Went there based on Yelp review and was kind of disappointed :( My ribs were very dry and service was a bit dismissive. read more

Cozy vibe, tasty food. I had the coq au vin - it was comforting and delicious, and really salty - probably why I liked it so much! The goat cheese soufflé on special was good too. The iberico pork with raspberry gravy was a tasty sweet/savory combo, but a little under seasoned. read more

Food and service were outstanding! Such a great find in Amsterdam! We had the the steak and the rib stew, both were great.

I wanted to like this place, I really did. It had good reviews (especially for the ribs) which was the initial draw for me. The place itself is very gezellig. Nestled among homes in the Jordaan, it has the feel of your local neighbourhood pub. The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday night and the bartender insisted that he would seat us as soon as all of our party of 5 showed up. 4 of us were already there and one was 15 mins away, but nope, seating 80% of our party was 'niet mogelijk'. Once we were seated, the service was attentive. Our server took our orders but a full 45 mins went by before our appies came out. Srsly? I had the pumpkin soup which I was hoping would get my belly warm and fuzzy from the cold outside. It tasted good save for the fact that it came lukewarm. Me thinks it had been sitting somewhere for a while waiting to be brought to the table. I and 3 others at our table ordered the ribs that this place was famous for. We were all ready to stack these up against the behemoth portions at Cafe de Klos. The ribs themselves were pretty good. Most fell off the bone but there were some that were kind of overdone. The size of them weren't as big either. The kicker was that each of the dishes came with a side of frites. Only 3 portions of fries came out. When we asked where the 4th was, our server said one of the portions was meant for 2 people (but the 3 portions that we got were all the same size...). In all, it is a decent place to get a meal or share a drink with good company. I guess I was a little disappointed after so many positive reviews. Hopefully your experience is a better one than mine. read more

Another great recommendation by Rick Steve, cafe De Reiger is a fantastic restaurant in Amsterdam. We got lucky and had to wait only 15 minutes for a table for dinner. The restaurant gives a feel of an old english pub. It's big, loud and pride in serving the freshest ingredients. As soon as we placed the order we got a crisp bread served with olive tapenade. Delicious. For appetizers we tried the Tuna tartare and the tomato soup. Both were excellent. The tuna tartar had a unique presentation and came with a light crisp cornetto wafer with sesame seeds. The soup was light and flavorful. A great start to a meal. For the main course we had burrata salad and lemon pasta. The pasta is probably one of the best I have eaten. The lemon flavor was strong and wonderful. So refreshing. The burrata was extremely fresh and refreshing. The house salad was nothing to rave about. The french fires on the other hand were crispy and perfect! Loved it! A wonderful meal all in all. For desert we shared a lemon cheesecake. Again great presentation and great flavors. Everything was very fresh, flavorful and scrumptious. My only complaint was the service. Extremely slow service. They were short on staff and so one had to wait really long in between courses. Our server was extremely tired and that showed in his service. It's probably one of those places where you don't hurry up a meal. You come, sit, have a few drinks, eat and relax. Our dinner took more than 2 hours because of the service. Service was the only downside, but other than that the food is excellent. It's a great place to spend an evening with friends. I will definitely go back here when I am in Amsterdam next. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem. read more

"Nice atmosphere, food not worth the wait...." Decent food. RIDICULOUSLY long wait for entrees- Nearly an hour. Coffee 20 mins. Service. Meh. It wasn't horrible, but I probably won't go back. read more

Great location, off a quieter street and with cozy lighting and seating. Get there early for dinner as it get packed before 8. When it's packed the staff is a bit slow/overwhelmed but generally very nice and attentive.

When you enter the restaurant you enter a bar like narrow area, that then opens up in the back. The tables are tightly placed together and this place definitely gets packed with bodies fast even on a week night. You can find seasonal menu options highlighted on the chalkboard overhead. Our friend who lives near by stops here every Friday evening. She said there is nothing on the menu that is bad, and she has tried it all. I was with a party of four, and we all ordered different things, and everyone's tummies were happy. My leek soup was amazing. I also enjoyed helping my friend with her order of pork ribs. She says they are her favorite from the menu, and they were amazing! She was right, there definitely was enough of those to share around! read more

Been to De Reiger a couple of times and it has been great each time. I have enjoyed the ribs and also a salmon special. Both were terrific! Friends who went also enjoyed the rack of lamb and the steak. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit! read more

The restaurant's signature ribs are a must-order - they are out of this world - savory, well-marinated, and tender. I felt sort of disgusting dipping the ribs into the mayo on the side (the ribs are definitely tasty enough alone but for that extra mile, dip them in mayo every now and then)... it was so delicious though! Great beer selection and the bartender (who I think is the manager of the whole restaurant - interesting division of labor) was very funny and gave us a great beer recommendation. The salad was fresh, but nothing attention-grabbing, and I thought the mushroom ravioli was a little too doughy. But I would definitely go back for the ribs and beer if I'm ever in Amsterdam again. The service is quick and the atmosphere is relaxed and pub-like. Although it was recommended in a guidebook, it didn't feel touristy at all - heard Dutch all around me! read more

Was invited here by some friends and had a look at the reviews, so it sounded promising. It was great! The reviews are correct = the ribs are *seriously* good....I'm not even a huge fan of ribs, but want to come back for more soon. Also tried the steak and it was very thick and tasty, with pepper sauce and actually done "medium" as asked, which is "rare" here....you also get chips/fries and they are the thick, nice, tasty ones. The service was really very good and friendly, always a plus in Amsterdam restaurants. We were lucky and there wasn't a wait that night - plenty of tables to choose from. We decided to sit outside and I would recommend not sitting at the furthest-away table by the flowers, as during our meal, we were terrorised by a hungry wasp. Otherwise, it's nice sitting outside if the weather's OK as you can soak in the ambience of the neighbourhood (though if cars and bicycles zipping past you by just a 1/2-meter away while you're eating bothers you, best sit indoors). We finished our wine inside after the meal to get away from the evil wasp - it's a nice brown cafe, so has a nice bar area in addition to the dining area. I suppose we were lucky that it wasn't that busy, so everything was fine for us, but if it was packed, I can imagine you'd need to be patient. So, great food, great service, decent prices .... what's not like to like? (oh yeah, the wasp, but I don't think it works there).... read more

Stopped here randomly as we walked the restaurant row and what an excellent find. Apps and entrees were both strong. I had a Dorado special which was expertly prepared with a light creamy sauce and spectacular lentils. Wife had a delicate corn soup to start followed by a light and clean roasted cornish hen over fettucine with vegetables. I am a big fan of this place. Just came from Paris and this food is on par with - or better than - the top spots we visited. read more

Followed Yelp admirers of ribs and was completely satisfied. My companion states that his steak was perfect. Definitely recommend. We've paid €70 for a gorgeous dinner for two, with wine and beer. read more

Quiet friendly place. Food was fantastic. Service was great. Very reasonable. Highly recommend for a great meal near Anne Frank House

We had a very nice meal here. It was recommended from a guidebook of mine - - yes, I admit that I use yelp and a few select guidebooks. :) But it was in close proximity to our hotel in the Jordaan district. Smaller quaint cafe or as they call eetcafe, with a full service bar inside. My friend had the beef tournadoe and I the halibut - - delicious! The beef tasted wonderful, and had a great sauce around the plate. (The diners next to us also both had the beef - - seems to be their specialty.) Small tables... again friendly service, charming little cafe. I'm glad we spent our first meal here. Cash only. read more

Charming corner location with incredibly friendly staff and a single page menu where everything is a winner. We enjoyed the spareribs and fries as well as the red bass special (potatoes, beets, chimichurri). The highlight, though, was the ravioli appetizer that is also offered as an entree serving. Perfectly prepared pasta and creamy sauce. read more

Just had the most amazing spareribs and I've had a lot of ribs throughout the US! Loved the sauce that came with and even the coleslaw and fries were perfect.
