Carbornara

Food was fine, not exceptional. Returned the special ravioli which had good flavor but over cooked pasta. Carbonara pasta was much better. Bruschetta was very good!

Lovely fresh sandwiches. Charming cafe with friendly service and free Wi-Fi. Great place to rest and fuel up.

Passion fruit mojito. So delicious gave me the chills
Meagan E.

Dont sleep on cocktails here. The mojito knocked my socks off and I was sloshed by the time I finished the first one...definitely had another one too! The service was so freakin good. They were each and every one so nice and accommodating. We arrived before the switched over for dinner but they let us come in and hang out and drink in the mean time. They chatted with us for a while and promised to make our drinks extra special. They gave us some recommendations and it was time to order before we knew it. Food was great! The only thing that disappointed were the cheese filled pizza puff things because they got a little soggy. Would absolutely come again.

Empanada

I just remember everything we had here was amazing! Sooo good that I wanted to keep ordering!

Tiramisu

I really enjoyed my meal at Frenzi. Outdoor dining was a beautiful view of the boats going through the canals. Staff was more attentive than other restaurants I've experienced in Amsterdam. My Parmigiana di Melanzane was great, and their Tiramisu was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place.

Sweet potato & bleu cheese gnocchi (close), "focaccia" (middle), sea bass (back)

Frenzi wasn't too busy when we arrived around 8:30p on a Monday, we were sat quickly and put in for drinks. It was a quaint place on a street corner across from the canal. My espresso martini was excellent and our focaccia arrived shortly after - though to call it focaccia would be a lie. It was a pizza dough with tomato paste and basil atop it. I found it tasty, though not what we were expecting. Our mains came out shortly after. My sweet potato gnocchi with bleu cheese cream sauce was DIVINE. It was also topped with fresh basil and the dish was creamy and full of flavor, the gnocchi cooked perfectly. My friend did not particularly enjoy his sea bass dish, though it looked appetizing enough to me. Unexpected with some twists and turns 3/5.

Mushrooms, sausage, potatoes

AMAZING food!!! Loved it!! We came here for dinner and loved it so much that we came back 2 days later! The first time our waiter recommended their daily special which was tapas tower (chef's choice) with a bottle of wine for 35 euros!! The tapas dishes that they picked for us were really tasty and so much of it too. See photos for all that was included. The staff was super nice and helpful as well. On the second night they didn't have the same special but they have tapas for 2 on the menu (not including wine) for 25 euros! This time I feel like there were more dishes included. Still tasty, still a great meal.

Halibut carpaciallo
Molinda K.

Dinner at Frenzi was ok, it was down the street from our reservation to Ice Bar and we wanted "Modern European" food. This place had great reviews so we decided to splurge a bit. We ordered the entree, starter, and dessert for 28.50 Euros. I ordered the halibut carpicacco and the spinach ravioli with pesto. My gf tried my ravioli and mentioned it tasted earthy - I would agree but I didn't think it was terrible. I DID not like the halibut - had a biter taste, in my opinion halibut should be left simple due to it's very minimum taste of fish. When overcomplicating it can turn into a slimy mess. Service was great though!

Spicy chick
Tiffany C.

We were super hungry, and decided to stop here for brunch without checking any reviews, and I'm glad we were spontaneous! The food was actually really good despite the high prices (then I realize all of Amsterdam is also pricy). I ordered the Spicy Chick and felt that the composition was perfectly orchestrated. You have a heat kicking with every bite without being too spicy. You have tender chicken with every bite. Each bite was tasty without an ingredient overpowering one another. I also enjoyed the olive bread which really elevated the sandwich. I didn't get to try my party's food, but all of them said it was really good as well.

Artichoke ravioli of the day

A lovely Italian dinner. We ordered a bottle of red wine and ate our plates clean. My friend ordered the veal and said it was decent. The atmosphere is great! Overall, good experience.

I almost forgot this lovely canalside cafe (though with the number of canals in Amsterdam most of them happen to be next to a canal).

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

The Pantry - I hadn't had Dutch apple pie since my days waiting tables at Denny's, in the '80s & this was well worth the wait.

Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win. Don't make the mistake of walking past it for as long as I did!

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!
