We came as a large group (16 people) and they were able to accommodate us with two tables adjacent to each other. The salmon was seared perfectly and doesn't fall apart into small pieces when you try to cut the fillet. The only downside is that they don't have an English menu which we struggled because only 2 in our group had beginner level in Dutch and everyone else speaks English, but you can get around that with their free WiFi and open Google Translate to figure it out. The wait staff also patiently explained their signature dishes. Price was quite reasonable as well

Service was also reasonably good but at one point I had to hail a waiter to take the food order as they just did not come to our table. Admittedly, it was packed (Saturday night) but still they should keep an eye out for those who still need to order their food. The waiters just walked past and served the other tables for the extra drinks etc.. The first drinks on arrival, however, were quickly served so no drama there. The ambiance... well, it is a great place to go to, a brown café as we call it and a fun place to be. But..... the music was too loud after a while (André Hazes..) and you could hardly talk. I don't think a café bar restaurant should turn up the noise to make it "gezelliger". Especially when it is packed. Maybe later in the evening when the dining is finished you can turn it up a bit but not when people are still sitting around their tables enjoying their meal. Next time we will try a weeknight to see if the noise is less. I do hope so!

Top Notch Breakfast and Dinner…read more.. Brasserie is the restaurant inside the Ambassade Hotel. My wife and I...along with another couple...had 4 breakfasts and 1 dinner there so this review reflects our experience. - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 (for Old Town and the Jordaan) - Exterior: 5 - Interior: 5 - Atmosphere: 5 - Menu: 5 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 (though the head waiter at dinner was full-of-himself) - Price and Value: 5 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the Old Town and Jordaan parts of Amsterdam. - Exterior: Handsome. A beautifully restored and maintained property. - Interior: Contemporary. Brasserie is a high end spot across 3 rooms, yet remains comfortable where conversation is easily accomplished. - Menu: Very healthy buffet at breakfast plus some items which can be ordered. Dinner offers French fare with a relatively light touch...though very different from the wellness-oriented breakfast. - Food: Excellent. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but full of healthy high quality items. I had 3 unbelievable versions of granola spooned from large jars and covered my bowl with the best tasting light Greek yogurt. Fruit and fish was super fresh...bread and pastries baked on premises amazing. Others in our group chose made-to-order egg dishes. It's all part of staying at the hotel. Dinner transformed Brasserie into a bistro with a French twist on many favorite dishes. Check the menu online. Portions are small - as expected - but quality was high. However, prices were very reasonable with most items under $30. - Service: Homey at breakfast..."French" for dinner. Everyone could not have been more friendly and helpful in the morning. Things were a bit more formal at night with a different crew. The chief waiter was very knowledgeable, but we agreed a bit arrogant. - Price and Value: Worth it. I believe the breakfast buffet is only for guests of the Ambassade Hotel. Brasserie is open to the public at night and quite reasonable. - Parking: None. Who has a car in Old Town? Cons: - The only one readily apparent was the brusque, off-the-cuff nature of our main server at dinner. He wasn't over-the-top, but not in keeping with the friendly vibe of the hotel. And that's coming from 2 couples who grew up in New York City and lived for many years in San Francisco and LA. Anyone can...and should...get dinner at Brasserie. There are many reasons to make reservations for a stay at the Ambassade - including access to their breakfast buffet.

A very traditional building with very contemporary food…read more The menu is not translated, but the server definitely helps. You order number a fixed menu based upon the number of courses or you can order "snacks". The server asks if there is anything you don't eat. The appetizer is a bit hard to describe, at least in part because of the server's slightly limited English for food terms. It was sea bream (I think) tartare on a fresh cake of oats or millet with a pistachio-green wasabi cream. Really amazing The main course was pastrami, but unless you had known that, it would be the last thing you might taste over the white asparagus, celeriac mousse and other delicious treats. The dessert was a seemingly never ending variety of preparation of strawberries. Highly recommended

This restaurant will not disappoint. I got the Blacksmith's Special (the chef"s special of the day) which started with a very creative pairing of a gumbo salad atop a mackeral tartare. The second course was a classic oxtail broth, which is perfect in it's deep, rich flavor coupled with the crisp bitterness of the scallions and soft earthiness of the Anoki mushrooms. The 3rd course was a pairing of a white fish with a seared tuna over sauteed fresh spinach - amazing! The meat course was another duet, this time of venison and wild boar both wrapped in bacon. They were served with Belgian mash and au grautin potatoes and a Waldorf salad. All so good that I didn't have an appetite for dessert! The service was as excellent as the food. Fons was particularly good at the wine pairings. Bottom line: Go and enjoy!
