    Shrimp appetizer
    Jessica J.

    First night in Amsterdam we found this great little spot who was able to squeeze us in for amazing dinner. All the food was cooked to perfection and had amazing flyovers. The shrimp appetizer was the perfected starter (we just needed a little more bread with that amazing sauce) the fish of the day had a beautiful bur blanc sauce. The mussels were by far the best I've ever had cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. Such nice service from everyone during the entire meal. Clean comfortable and inviting atmosphere makes for a delightful dinner.

    We came here on a whim on our first night in Amsterdam. We are so glad that we did because it turned out to be a delightful evening. This restaurant is located in the cute/hipster area of Jordaan. The atmosphere is very homey and cozy. It felt very much like a mom and pop's French Bistro. The service was attentive and informative. They gave good recommendations for the food. I had the mussels, which were done perfectly. My boyfriend had a steak, which wasn't very tender. He wasn't exactly pleased with meal, but enjoyed my mussels and fries. The dessert was excellent here as well. An overall, lovely dinner experience for our first night in Amsterdam.

    Something for everyone, very friendly

    Very friendly place, welcoming team and clientele. Good food and drinks. Got a warm and friendly greeting the moment we opened the door, and they were busy.

    Small ravioli
    Laura C.

    I walked inside around 8 PM for a light dinner and a glass of wine and was seated immediately. It was crowded and the food smelled delicious. The servers were really friendly and explained the specials and gave me space to enjoy my food. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Amsterdam. Definitely is a neighborhood place with tasty food. I had the small ravioli and it was more than enough food. There's a bar area in front if you're just having a drink, or they'll see you in the restaurant area toward the back if you're also eating. It looked like they had all the beverages you could want and lots of different food options for different pallets.

    Wonderful. Stopped in this evening. Great neighborhood place, cozy. Lovely service: attentive and friendly but not hovering. Quick service and delightfully prepared food. Reasonable prices considering the very good quality. 10/10 recommend trying this!

    Bitterballen
    Elaine C.

    Your typical friendly Dutch "pub." Gives you beer and food fast and let's you chill there eating it. Things were on the salty side, but I realize that's both a pub thing and a local taste thing. Pork chop was juicy. This was my first time eating bitterballen so I don't have much to compare it to - but they reminded me of slightly meatier potato croquettes. All in all, a nice place to stop on a rainy afternoon for something that really sticks to your ribs... and beer.

    Steak

    Wow, 6 years later and this restaurant is still awesome. It definitely gets busy so if you're there on a weekend you'd probably need a reservation. We went early mid week. We shared the ravioli as a starter which was delicious. I had the mussels, it was a huge portion and so delicious. It came with frites. I sampled the ribs and the steak, everything was delicious. We ended the night with a chocolate mousse, yum! The service was impeccable and so friendly.

    It's been almost a year since I was last in Amsterdam. After having found this spot on yelp then, I returned for a second round. I was not disappointed. The same bright cheerful barman greeted us at the door and despite not having a reservation found a place for us. OMG the food. My muscle dish couldn't have been better, and it was a big bucket. Served with thick fries that were crisp to perfection. My partner had the beef stew special. It's flavor was amazing. The wait staff even went out of there way to explain some local beer and this amazing cocktail sauce of whiskey, mayo, lemon and ketchup, but made in the restaurant. So amazing with the muscles! Lovely evening and a great meal in a beautiful old world off the beaten path Amsterdam restaurant full of charm. Would give more stars if I could, maybe another trip before I leave the city...fingers crossed.

    De Reiger is one of the oldest cafes in Amsterdam. The restaurant is located just outside the Jordaan neighborhood. The three of us managed to snag a table without a reservation by arriving shortly after they opened for dinner. We started off our meal with a nice bottle of red wine and an excellent beef carpacio appetizer. My sister and I ordered the duck and thought the duck was so tender and paired perfectly with the roasted vegetables. My husband enjoyed his veal as well as a Belgium beer. Our dinner at De Reiger was one of my favorite meals in Amsterdam. Despite the competition with more modern cuisine and trendier restaurants, the menu is fairly priced and everything we ordered was delicious.

    Aperol spritzer
    Art K.

    Our last night in Amsterdam. We were 0 for 2 in that both restaurants we picked were closed (it was Tuesday). We sat down at this small pub. It took a few minutes for the server to stop over, but he brought some toast and olive spread. Very good beginning. The server brought us drinks including a light Pino Grigio and a aperol spritz. We ordered the pea soup as there were good recommendations for it. It was the bomb. Not your typical pea soup. It was light, with crawfish and some herb butter. There was a thin slice of dark bread nice presentation. When my wife said I could finish the soup, no hesitation here. It was licked clean. Next, I ordered the pig suckling cutlet with potatoes. The meat was a pork cutlet, it was tasty. I thought I was getting a fried pork cutlet, except that it was browned. The ratatouille was through the roof. The wife ordered the cod fish special, it was flaky with a light cream sauce. The potatoes and leeks were well cooked. Come if your in the neighborhood, the locals do. Total cost was 66. Service was good considering there were only 2 people working tonight. Tuesday is not a very busy night in Amsterdam.

    Cafe De Reiger is a great little historic gastropub serving great food including fresh fish and Dutch classics. They DON'T take reservations, but don't let that discourage you, especially if you're eating before 7:45 or so. These folks care about the food they serve, and it shows. One of our best casual meals in Amsterdam. Highly recommended.

    Mussels and fries
    Rebecca C.

    Delicious sea bass and mussels. Kind service, but a bit slow initially. Hot inside in summertime. Maybe have a drink inside and ask to wait for a table outside.

Of course we're going to snag an order of the Croquettes. Nice bite size potato mash balls with meat in it. These ones are nice and neat with a perfect delicate crunch. Great balance of potato to meat ratio. 8.2/10 For my main event, the Stamppot. This is a rotating dish that's usually different every time.

My friend is the…read moreone that discovered this restaurant and made the reservations ahead of time, and from the pictures, it looked like a fun place to eat. I was excited. From research, it seems as though Amsterdam is known for having some good Indonesian food, so that was something we made a priority of trying while we were there. Though somewhat pricey, the entertainment, decor, and food here definitely exceeded our expectations. To eat, we had already decided to order the rijsttafel (rice table), which is essentially a variety of small Indonesian dishes. In total, I believe there were about 15 that we were comfortably able to share and enjoy. In addition, we ordered a few street food appetizers, which included the black angus tartare, tacos, and albacore tuna tartare. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the street food appetizers, which were presented very uniquely. While I'm glad we tried the rijsttafel for the authentic experience, there were only a few dishes from it that I really enjoyed. Still, I'd recommend ordering it for the experience. It was pretty cool to try so many Indonesian specialties in one meal. If looking for a fun restaurant to dine at in central Amsterdam, Ron Gastrobar is an option you should heavily consider. The ambiance and atmosphere are unrivaled, and you are bound to have a great time. The live performances are very enjoyable. Service was also very accommodating and friendly, and the drinks were superb. Go ahead and check this place out!

We were all waiting for an elevator to the top floor, which was the restaurant. When we got to the top, no one was there but we eventually found someone to show us our table. The sun was a bit bright because it is already summer but it was a beautiful view as it set. We took every recommendation our waiter gave. We started with cocktails from the small menu and tuna tartar and oysters (with apple, green pepper and ginger dressing). I never eat oysters but I loved these. When it was time for the main food, I told our waiter we were interested in the rijstafel. He recommended that we get rijstafel for four and supplement it with the sea bass. Upon further inspection of the menu, we did that, plus the chicken sate, beef sate and wagyu sate. Everything was amazing. There are a couple of entertainment pieces that come with the meal. Mr. Spicy comes around in a red dinner jacket and asks if you want mild, medium or spicy sauce with your meal. We wanted to try one of each. Later on, Mr. Downtown with the cat head came by for a photo. He never put down his glass. In all, the meal was delicious and the cocktails were unique. I look forward to the next experience here.
