After a night walk in Amsterdam, we ate dinner at this place. Recommended by our tour guide…read more The restaurant was packed. Too crowded and so tight to walk on second floor where we ate. But I liked it so much because of the architectural design of classic house built 17th century. The decor is gothic Parisian cafe. We started with appetizers -combo of fresh bread - cheese coquette with salad - lentil green pea soup Main dish - steak - salmon Dessert - chocolate lava cake - cheese cake My favorite was the dessert. It's warm and the moist. The salmon was baked and slightly overcooked and needed salt - bread was average. Overall . It was a good experience. It felt like tapas place in Barcelona.

Some questions my parents had...Tournedos (the first four options under the meat main courses) refers to a cut of beef; they're also steaks. Gambas is shrimp. When they say potato chips, they mean fries. Eetcafe 't Pakhuis is a little bistro with a bar on Voetboogstraat (Voetboog Street) that's been running since 1975. It's actually pretty convenient if you're walking along Kalverstraat and looking for something quick and filling. I can't say for how they're like during normal hours though. For us, it was late and we'd been wandering all over the place trying to find something to eat that wasn't booked, closed, or has a mile-long waitlist. We came across this place by accident and it was between 't Pakhuis or Amsterdam Grill next door. There wasn't really anyone there at the time besides one or two other tables, and I ended up being pretty excited that they had satay. Indo-Dutch cuisine was something I wanted to try. It was just a bit unfortunate that I was the only one in my group who wanted to, but a delight nevertheless. The two negative points for us is that (1) the place is pretty dim at night and (2) all of our dishes were cool when it got to us. Lighting was low enough that we all took out our phones in order to read the menu and food was cool that I'm pretty sure they'd been left out to sit for a while. Not completely sure why they're essentially called the Warehouse Eatery(?), but it was good, hardy food and their main courses come with fries and a salad. The combo makes for a solid plate of food. From what I could see, they had multiple rooms and many, MANY tables. This is probably a safe bet to walk-in at.

When we approached the host stand for information about getting seated at a table, the hostess was lovely. However, her colleague was extremely rude, and belittled us. When we asked how long the wait would be, the man made a comment sharing that this place "isn't like Disney World" and laughed to other staff members. We were extremely taken aback by this comment, and it made us uncomfortable. Then, a few minutes later, a different host brought us over to a table, within minutes. She was a great help! Food was good but after such a bad experience, I'm not likely to return.

Hidden away near Riekerhaven (bestemmingsverkeer), this spacious bar/ restaurant provides fantastic decor for a lunch, brunch, dinner or party. The food menu is simple and (although not cheap) and tasty. The salads are small, yet delicious. They have some delicious snack platters (fried sardines and octopus) as well if you're just hanging around; which is a very easy thing to do considering the ultimately relaxed atmosphere. All in all, a great place to spend an afternoon (if you know where to find it;-)).

Europe 2023 - Amsterdam…read more Just around the corner from the Heineken Experience I recommend a great restaurant called Pilsvogel. FAST FOOD: I ordered the Celeriac with Forest Mushroom soup which was amazing. While I waited for it to cool down I ate the crostini which had some kind of tapenade. The waitress seems to think the base is made from the bottom part of the celery stalk, but had a pea soup kind of taste with a chicken broth. The forest mushrooms also were amazing. We also had the Reuben and the Caprese sandwiches, both were great, the Caprese could have used maybe a little more pesto sauce or balsamic. Atmosphere: great restaurant, there's a patio but it was cold so we sat inside, they have a beautiful bar and you can see the chef cooking away. Music playing in the background. Service: Excellent, the two young girls and young men were taking care of all the tables and cooking. Tip: Try the soup.

We had some excellent soup (Lentil curry) and salads (caesar and the serrano ham). Portions nicely sized. Most would be happy with just a soup or a salad for lunch. But, since I bike a lot (over 7500 km each year) and have mosquito metabolism, I got both the soup and the salad. A correct espresso is served too, along with a small cookie.
