It has a homey vibe inside and I enjoyed looking at the photos and other memorabilia on the walls. We got the stewed beef and Amsterdam chicken. It came with sides of boiled potatoes, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Portions were surprisingly large as they give you generous portions of sides. We had plenty of leftovers to take back. I'm not an expert on Dutch cuisine so I can't comment on the authenticity or the quality, but it was tasty. The beef and chicken were a bit on the salty side but paired well with the basic sides. Overall, it was a charming dinner experience.

We've been traveling for weeks, from Israel, to France, Belgium, and finally arriving Amsterdam, so we've had a lot of food already, but this was by far our favorite.

First course was a pairing of their ridiculously great mussels and the mackerel. We may go back in a few days just to get the full serving of mussels. Second course was the sauerkraut soup, which isn't my thing, but my wife loved it and gladly had both of our portions. Third course was the main with spareribs and the potato pie. Ridiculously good. Finally dessert was also amazing. This place wasn't busy at all on a Wednesday night which is a huge shame. It's so good. The service is excellent and they clearly have a passion for what they do. We also tried their Bordeaux which is sold by the bottle and was excellent. The chateauneuf by the glass wasn't quite as good. An amazing meal overall. We're only in Amsterdam for 7 nights and we might dine here another 2 nights during this stay!

Dinner was at a relaxed and unrushed pace. We spent 2 hours here and were the first ones to leave. Clearly people enjoy eating and spending time here!

Even though the menu is a surprise, they accommodate food allergies. Our server explained the process of dinner as well as each dish very well. As someone who loves to cook, I liked hearing about how some of the dishes were prepared. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was intimate and rustic with brick walls, candlelight, and wood. The open kitchen was a delight to watch - they were hustling, but calm and quiet. We ate early on a weeknight which was also nice. It's fine Dutch dining but in a casual atmosphere. Food: The food was very tasty with options for a 3, 4, or 5 course dinner. We opted for 5 course and there were also upgrades like wine pairings and a cheese plate dessert instead of the preset dessert. The menu had a range of meat and veggies, but they also offered a full vegetarian menu too. The two plates that stood out was the venison dish which was cooked perfectly, as well as the unique dessert - the cherries and Thai basil oil with vanilla ice cream paired really well with my ruby port. We were a party of 4 vacationing from the USA. Bathrooms were clean, service was delightful, and it was well worth getting out of city center for a nice dinner!

Their menu has many traditional items that might not be found in more touristy restaurants. I ordered the Stamppot Proeverij (€22.50), which was a set of 3 skillets of mashed potatoes topped with various meats and veggies (refer to the photo). Each skillet was delicious in its own way and this variety added to the tasty experience. The potatoes were a nice creamy consistency and there was a good potato-to-topping ratio. I also got the Poffertjes (€7) for dessert, and they were expertly made to a perfect fluffy-yet-chewy consistency. A simple yet tasty traditional dessert. The restaurant itself is decorated with classic Dutch decor, art, etc. and has a very homey atmosphere. In addition to the indoor seating, there is also outdoor seating right by the canal. The staff are very friendly and the service speed is decent. Overall, if you are interested in trying some high quality traditional Dutch food in a prime location, then I would highly recommend Bistro Amsterdam!

The decor of this traditional Dutch restaurant was the traditional blue and white ceramic plates and vases in shelves along the walls. Very pretty. It would have been wiser for us to order the traditional Dutch entrees such as stamppots. Because we had enjoyed them earlier this week, we ordered a pork fillet and chicken satay instead, which come with fries. Our food took 30 minutes to arrive, which made sense considering the packed restaurant, The sauerkraut and salads were delicious. My chicken on skewers was tender, and mildly flavored; the peanut sauce was too sweet. We received ketchup on request for the fries which were bland, and it also was too sweet. My husband's pork fillet was overcooked and very dry inside. It was difficult to slice with the butter knife he received. The gravy that accompanied the pork fillet was delicious, perhaps the best part of the meal. We drank tap water which tastes great here. Please read the 5-star reviews of others who did order traditional fare from the menu because I'm sure those were amazing.

The apple pie is amazing. The service was great also. They were very nice!! Cute place!read more
